Hidden Wisdom
Exploring the Inner Mysteries of Faith, Symbol, and Soul
Hidden Wisdom is a podcast for seekers who sense there’s more to faith than meets the eye. Hosted by Meghan Farner, author, mentor, and founder of Hidden Wisdom, each episode reveals the esoteric dimensions of scripture, myth, and restoration — uncovering how ancient symbols, archetypes, and divine patterns map the soul’s journey back to God.
Drawing from LDS teachings, Christian mysticism, and universal esoteric principles, Hidden Wisdom bridges the worlds of religion and spirituality, inviting listeners to rediscover the sacred language of symbol and the divine masculine and feminine within.
Whether you’re deconstructing, reconstructing, or simply seeking a deeper layer of truth, this podcast offers a guide to remembering — and embodying — what was never lost, only hidden.
Hidden Wisdom is hosted by Meghan Farner, mentor and author of “Consider Yourself as Eve: A Guide to Spiritual Development for Women (and the Men Who Love Them.)
