What does it mean to be called to a place?
In this episode of The Sacred Places Podcast, I am joined by Katie Ness, author of Word Witchery, hedgewitch, yoga teacher, and Magdalene priestess, for a rich conversation on personal gnosis, pilgrimage, and the sacred lands of Sardinia and Cyprus.
Together, we explore the deep, often unexplainable pull toward certain places and how Spirit guides us to them in its own timing. Katie shares her unexpected journey to Cyprus at just nineteen, and the profound sense of knowing that she was meant to be there. From there, the conversation opens into a wider reflection on what it means to be ready for a sacred site, and why some places meet us as beginners while others call to us later along our path.
We also discuss the evolving relationship between land, spirit, and identity including how deities may carry different names across cultures, how places like Delphi can awaken us back to ourselves, and the powerful connection to the sacred feminine found in Sardinia.
This episode is an invitation to reflect on your own relationship with place, movement, and spiritual calling and to consider where you might be feeling drawn next.
