Episode 268 - Wise Earth Medicine Tarot with Lalania Simone
Welcoming back Lalania to the podcast today! Wise Earth Medicine Tarot endeavors to simplify the mysteries of the tarot and ground it in the natural world. Drawing upon Lalania Simone’s indigenous ancestral knowledge, this beautiful deck presents the tarot as a form of earth medicine. Focusing on the animistic realm, this tarot deck and guidebook takes us on an internal vision quest where we learn the wisdom of all natural things. Each of the seventy-eight cards features three keywords on the front for instant access to the traditional tarot meanings. The four suits have been renamed according to their element rather than their symbol, which further enhances the deck’s connection to nature: water rather than cups, fire rather than wands, wind rather than swords, and earth rather than pentacles. The ninety-six-page full-color booklet includes the traditional tarot meanings as well as an oracle-style message. The message presents “the medicine,” a word used in indigenous spiritual traditions to refer to the spiritual healing power with which each animal or plant is endowed.Find the deck and Lalania:Deck: https://redwheelweiser.com/book/wise-earth-medicine-tarot-9781578638635/Website: www.cosmicseedstudio.comLalania Simone is an indigenous artist, author, and mystic devoted to a path of personal expansion and collective liberation.

Episode 264 - Modron: Meeting the Celtic Mother Goddess with Kelle BanDea
In the flow of healing waters and the urgent cry of the Earth, we hear the voice of the Celtic mother goddess Modron, also known as Matrona. A goddess of fertility, abundance and healing, but also of grief and loss and ancestral wisdom, she is still present, although hidden, in today's world. We find her myths in the tales of the Mabinogi, the Welsh Triads and modern tales of Avalon, and her image and veneration in the ancient religions of Celtic Gaul, where she first emerged as a river goddess.We can trace echoes of her in ancient Indo-European texts and possibly even further back to the agricultural myths of the Neolithic. She is even present in the stars. Modron - Meeting the Celtic Mother Goddess takes a deep dive into this often overlooked goddess who has inspired our modern myths, combining solid academic research with suggestions for personal practice and ritual, from a modern day dedicant and scholar of Goddess veneration. Modron is emerging from the depths.

Episode 263 - The Night House with Danielle Dulsky
Welcoming back Danielle today for a conversation about fairy tales as living, breathing repositories of ancient wisdom and magick. In The Night House: Folklore, Fairy Tales, Rites, and Magick for the Wise and Wild, bestselling author and word-witch Danielle Dulsky peels back the layers of these timeless narratives to reveal their potent role as guides for navigating today’s world. Rich with insight and a deep reverence for the ancestral art of storytelling, Dulsky’s latest work reclaims the hidden power of fairy tales as spell books, treasure chests, and sacred rites.Historically kept and transmitted by women, fairy tales are distinguishable from other types of folk tales for their magickal and supernatural elements, and because of this, they were often dismissed as trivial domestic fantasies for women and children. The Night House illuminates how this marginalization kept these stories safe from the witch-hunter’s noose and allowed women to safely store and transmit their ancient and sacred wisdom. Each of The Night House’s nine chapters is a door to an otherworldly realm, unveiling the spiritual and practical magick embedded in tales like “Little Red Riding Hood “and “Cinderella.” By decoding their “glamour spells” and ancestral rites, Dulksy offers a path for readers to reconnect with the Earth, their ancestors, and their own spirits. Mythic images and Jungian universal archetypes arise, and “old ways” are made visible, revealing the call to continue the medicinal work of story keeping for the modern world. Find Danielle: The Night House: https://amzn.to/3R7NuP3Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wolfwomanwitchWebsite: DanielleDulsky.ComDanielle Dulsky is the author of The Night House and numerous other titles including Woman Most Wild, The Holy Wild Grimoire, and Bones & Honey. A heathen visionary, painter, poet, storyteller, and word-witch, she teaches internationally and has facilitated circles, embodiment trainings, communal spell work, and seasonal rituals since 2007. She is the founder of The Hag School and believes in the emerging power of wild collectives and sudden circles of curious dreamers, cunning witches, and rebellious artists in healing our ailing world.
