What if ancient temples were never meant to be monuments—but living expressions of the Goddess herself?
In this episode of Seeking Numina, Elyse Welles sits down with Katinka Soetens, ceremonial priestess of the Goddess, sacred sexual priestess of Rhiannon, and director of the Path of Love Mystery School, to explore the ancient goddess temples of Malta and the mysteries they may still hold.
Together, they explore the relationship between sacred landscapes and the divine, the symbolic language of our ancestors, and what happens when we approach ancient sites through lived experience rather than history alone.
From the mysterious Hypogeum to the sleeping figures of Malta's temples, this conversation invites us to reconsider what our ancestors understood about the Goddess, the body, and the land—and what we might have forgotten.
What if these ancient places still have something to teach us?
