In this episode I speak again with Rev. Máire Durkan. We talk about Frigg and the twelve goddesses who make up her “Council.” But from a different perspective and way of getting to know them.
In Frigg’s Twelvefold Flame, Máire's approach to the goddesses shows how they can be worked with to help with pressing matters today including justice, activism, and allyship. They are not (and never have been) “lesser” goddesses in the background to be occasionally referred to when it suits a purpose. They are vibrant, active, and have a message that is needed in today’s society and climate worldwide.
Although many of the Council do not have a lot of lore, mythology, or archeological remnants, they are reaching through the veil of mystery those absences create to connect with people today to write new stories, create ritual, empower, and inspire creativity and activism.
Frigg’s Twelvefold Flame is available from Llewellyn Books, local book shops, or online sellers.
Máire will be presenting at Lewellyn Con 2026 on Thursday, June 11 at 11 am CDT.
She is on social media on Facebook and Instagram and her website is: https://www.revmairedurkanauthor.com/
Listen to episode 51 for our previous discussion about Frigg and the Council with Rev. Maire's book Circle of Frith.
