Join us today with our guest the mystic and bard Sophie Strand as we discuss the Knight of Wands. Like Dionysus, the Knight of Wands arrives from beyond with a message: look for the joy, look for what delights you, even if it’s just a small thing, imagine it like a small spark of fire, then blow. We talk about the difference between the Knight and the King, and the ecological relationships they both imply. We talk about ecstasies and where inspiration comes from and what it means for your wand to flower and rituals for working with the Knight of Wands on your morning walks. Join us!
