Episode 6 – Agnodice, the First Woman Doctor

Of Witches and Women

This episode tells the complicated story of Adgnodice, the first woman doctor. What can we learn from her today?  Find out in this episode.

Today’s episode doesn’t have an advertisement, but it does have a plea. This giving season I am focusing on what I can do for those who are truly in need of my help, and I invite you to do the same. Please look deeper into Kira Johnson’s story. Watch her widower testify before congress (link below). If possible, please donate to a cause that champions women and minority health care. The non-profit set up by Kira’s loved ones, 4Kira4moms is an excellent choice. Other options include The Vital Voices Global Partnership, Days for Girls, Planned Parenthood, or the Breast Cancer Alliance.  Links to these organizations and more are listed below.

Today, on this Friday, the 13th of December, I cast a spell for all my amazing listeners. I light a candle for you, that as you celebrate this season, weather you celebrate Saturnalia, Kwanzaa, Hankka, Christmas, National Cupcake Day, or one of the dozens of other holidays this winter, that you do so with joy, love and kindness in your heart, and that all your positive energy be returned to you 10 fold.

 

This is the very last episode of 2019! Thank you for listening and for sharing the show! Please leave us a magical review on Apple Podcasts or Google Play so others can find and enjoy the show as well!
