Guest:

My work is rooted in what I am still stubbornly choosing to call the "wild feminine," or the aspects of the human psyche which I believe are the most socially denigrated; these are our connection to the natural world, our right to feel and be sensuous, our knowledge of holistic relationship and the spiral dance of time, our psychic power and intuitive wisdom, and our body-spirit union. I translate the wild feminine into writing, multimedia art, teaching, motherhood, and witchcraft, but I aim to have my core message constant: It is our birthright to resurrect embodied spirituality, a unique holiness that is lived out and experienced in the body, through the senses, and made manifest in ritual, story, and magick-making. I am the author of Woman Most Wild: Three Keys to Liberating the Witch Withinand The Holy Wild: A Heathen Bible for the Untamed Woman(New World Library 2017 and 2018), a pagan poet and heathen storyteller, a Celtic free-style Witch, and I long for the mists. May we all find what we seek, hag spirits that we are.
