She has written many books about her path and the deities she works with including Aphrodite, Artemis, and Iris, with more to come.I found her way of practicing really relatable, personal and gentle, but also powerful in its potential to create positive change in the world around us. We also had a little intro chat about neurodiversity and our personal experiences with it.

In this episode I interview author and artist Laura Perry from the USA about Minoan Spirituality. She helps us to understand the sources of information and the processes around forming a modern practice from an ancient tradition. We discuss the modern practices that have formed from this exploration, and how relevant the Minoans can be to us today as we form traditions that are inclusive and accessible to all.

In this episode I speak with Reverend Jean Drum, the Arch Druid from Ár nDraíocht Féin: A Druid Fellowship (ADF). We have a candid chat about our personal experiences in Druidry, the international Druidry experience, the history and structure of ADF and Jean's humble way of approaching leadership and the role of clergy. ADF has a church-like structure so differs from other forms of Druidry. In this episode we discuss those differences, and explore the wonderful opportunities for leaning and building community that ADF offers to the global Druidry community.
