🔥 Upcoming ritual book (January release): Lithuanian goddess mythology & seasonal rituals
🌑 Co-authored book forthcoming: walking through the dark times with both science and wild priestess wisdom
In this episode, we talk about:
Growing up in Lithuania, one of the last pagan lands of Europe, where myth still lives in the forest
Who the Lithuanian forest goddess Medeina is, and how her shapeshifting, huntress energy moves through modern women
Agne’s Saturn return and the day she found herself crying on the lab floor in academia… and knew something had to change
What it really means to be wild and untamed (hint: it doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s wild)
Dormant vs. active wild woman — and how fear becomes an initiator instead of a jailer
Simple, accessible rituals: cacao, hair-brushing, tiny acts of devotion that bring us back into our bodies
Agne’s burning rituals (and why she buries the ashes back into the earth)
Meeting Gabija, the Lithuanian fire goddess of the hearth, and learning the difference between destructive fire and warm, glowing fire
The medicine of the Year of the Snake (shedding skins) and our hopes for the Year of the Horse (moving forward with heart and power)
How goddess archetypes and intuition give us the next step, not the whole map

The Wild Woman Who Walked Out of the Lab
Some people grow into their wildness slowly; others are cracked open by it.
Agne is both.
In this week’s episode, we talk about her upbringing in Lithuania where myth still breathes in the pine forests. The goddess Medeina, a huntress who shapeshifts through animal forms, became the archetypal backbone of her work. Not the goddess of being good, but the goddess of being true.
But what struck me most is that Agne didn’t begin as a priestess in the woods. She began in academia, surrounded by data and lab equipment, feeling her spirit wither in an environment that rewarded overwork and dismissed intuition. Her Saturn return arrived like a rupture: one day she found herself crying on the lab floor, realizing, I cannot live like this.
That moment became the doorway into her wild woman.
Wildness As Truth, Not Aesthetic
Agne reminds us that being “wild” doesn’t look one way.
For her, it means sovereignty, honesty, and choosing what is true over what is expected.
For someone else, wildness might look like running a company, raising children, or living nomadically.
The wild woman isn’t defined by lifestyle — she’s defined by integrity with her inner voice.
I loved her distinction between the dormant wild woman (full of potential but frozen by fear) and the active wild woman, who uses fear as initiation. Even something as simple as making a phone call became practice for stepping into power. Wildness lives in the small choices.
Ritual, Fire, and the Goddesses Who Speak Through the Body
We also talk about ritual — how it doesn’t need to be elaborate. Your morning cacao, brushing your hair, burning a piece of paper and burying the ashes… these tiny devotions are doorways.
Agne shared moving stories about meeting two goddesses through ritual:
Medeina, stepping into her like a hologram during hypnosis
Gabija, the Lithuanian fire goddess, showing her how to soften fiery energy into warm hearth flame
These aren’t metaphors for her—they’re embodied experiences.
And they reminded me how often intuition and archetypal wisdom speak through sensation rather than thought.
From Snake to Horse
We close the conversation exploring the transition from the Snake year (shedding, unraveling) into the Year of the Horse (movement, momentum, heart-led speed). If you’ve been in a long season of transformation, this episode offers hope for what’s emerging.
If You’re in a Threshold Season
If you’re navigating your own wild initiation, I hold this liminal space through my Transition Doula offerings — helping you release what’s falling away and follow the next step your intuition is whispering.
Listen to the episode, and then tell me in the comments:
What does your wild look like right now?
Thank you for being here, and for tending your own inner fire.
