This is a special episode originally created as a Patreon exclusive as part of the ongoing 'Ladies of Advent' series.

In this opening episode of 'Ladies of Advent' we start with Our Lady of Guadalupe. The divine mother who appeared in 1531 on a cold hilltop outside of Mexico City. She would go on to become a sacred figure in Catholic devotion as well as a symbol of strength, identity and protection for women, indigenous people and revolutionaries.

I really hope you enjoy it!

In this episode, we drink deep and dive in to the world of Florence & The Machine’s Everybody Scream. An album that fuses mythology, witchcraft, trauma, and feminine power. We explore how Florence Welch channels the voices of witches, mystics, monsters and takes us on a pilgrimage through grief and transformation, through the scream buried in every woman’s throat.
