In this conversation with Perdita Finn, we discuss some of the richest threads found in her book, "Mothers of Magic: Summoning the Wisdom of Our Ancestors." We explore how Perdita works with the ancestors, what becomes possible when we do, and how to feel into the breadth of possibility in this moment on Earth.

About Perdita:

Perdita Finn is the co-founder, with her husband Clark Strand, of the feral fellowship The Way of the Rose, which inspired their book The Way of the Rose: The Radical Path of the Divine Feminine Hidden in the Rosary. She has also written Take Back the Magic: Conversations with the Unseen World and Mothers of Magic: Summoning the Wisdom of Our Ancestors, which is an intervention for our time and a map back to the maternal wisdom that has always been ours – a path toward true connection and the deepest sources of love. You can learn more about Perdita at www.takebackthemagic.com.
