74: Baba Yaga Wisdom for Women in Midlife with Muriel McMahon

What if the wisdom you have been taught to fear is actually the key to your sovereignty?In this powerful conversation, Lisa Marie Rankin sits down with Jungian analyst and author Muriel McMahon to explore the living archetype of Baba Yaga and what she represents for women in midlife and beyond. Together, they unpack the crone archetype, feminine authority, sovereignty, shadow work, and the courageous journey toward soul fire. Muriel challenges common narratives about patriarchy, feminism, and spiritual empowerment while offering a deeper Jungian lens on archetypes as energetic forces rather than costumes we put on.This dialogue invites women to reclaim their wisdom without apology, to honor the sacred tasks of everyday life, and to recognize that true authority comes from within. If you feel the old woman knocking, this conversation will help you understand why and what she is asking of you.Connect with Muriel McMahon:https://www.morbidanatomy.org/https://www.jungarchademy.com/Baba Yaga’s Wisdom: A Jungian Spiritual Memoir - https://a.co/d/08844RDXToward a Sacred End: Jungian Individuation and the Liturgical Cycle - https://a.co/d/09kDnNVrConnect with Lisa:Join me on Substack: This Enchanted LifeIf you’re craving deeper connection, mythic insight, and soulful storytelling—step into This Enchanted Life, my Substack community where you'll be guided to reconnect with your imagination, your creativity, and the archetypal wisdom that lives deep in your bones.https://lisamarierankin.substack.com/Book: The Goddess SolutionInstagram: @lisamarierankinWebsite: lisamarierankin.comRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts:If your inner feminine is connecting with the Goddess School podcast, I’d love to hear from you.
