7: Today's Woman and The Poor Bargain

The Goddess School

Many women make unseen sacrifices in the name of productivity or acceptance.

Today, Lisa shares the captivating story of The Handless Maiden. In it, a young woman’s father makes a deal with the devil, leading her to lose her hands—a powerful symbol of disconnecting from our true selves. Her healing journey reveals the path back to our natural, intuitive side.

The story reminds us that each character—the maiden, her father, and the devil—reflects a part of ourselves, and reclaiming these parts helps us make choices that honor who we truly are. Tune in!
