Art Witch

Making art is risky, especially when we honor our cycles of creativity. In this episode we sit down with writer Sophie Strand as she shares her experiences with risk, navigating the pressure to create, listening to guidance from our web of non-humxn kin and  how our relationships to land shape creative journey. 

Mentioned in this episode: 

• Psychic Tour of Brooklyn Botanical Garden with Eliza Swann June 22
• Early Bird List for Creative Liberation Tarot Readings
• Sophie's new book, The Flowering Wand: Rewilding the Sacred Masculine

About the Guest

Sophie Strand is a writer based in the Hudson Valley who focuses on the intersection of spirituality, storytelling, and ecology. But it would probably be more authentic to call her a neo-troubadour animist with a propensity to spin yarns that inevitably turn into love stories. Give her a salamander and a stone and she’ll write you a love story. Sophie was raised by house cats, puff balls, possums, raccoons, and an opinionated, crippled goose. In every neighborhood she’s ever lived in she has been known as “the walker”. She believes strongly that all thinking happens interstitially – between beings, ideas, differences, mythical gradients.

Her first book of essays The Flowering Wand: Lunar Kings, Lichenized Lovers, Transpecies Magicians, and Rhizomatic Harpists Heal the Masculine is forthcoming in 2022 from Inner Traditions. Her eco-feminist historical fiction reimagining of the gospels The Madonna Secret will also be published by Inner Traditions. Her books of poetry include Love Song to a Blue God (Oread Press) and Those Other Flowers to Come (Dancing Girl Press) and The Approach (The Swan). Her poems and essays have been published by Art PAPERS, The Dark Mountain Project, Poetry.org, Unearthed, Braided Way, Creatrix, Your Impossible Voice, The Doris, Persephone’s Daughters, and Entropy. She has recently finished a work of historical fiction, The Madonna Secret, that offers an eco-feminist revision of the gospels.  She is currently researching her next epic, a mythopoetic exploration of ecology and queerness in the medieval legend of Tristan and Isolde.

This lunar cycle will take us directly into the heart of perfectionism, how it arises in our processes and art, and how this affects self and collective. A lot came through around how we can reframe and better understand perfectionism in the larger map of our journey and what we can do to release perfectionism.
