My guest for this episode is  the wild and wonderful Danielle Dulsky. Danielle is the author of The Holy Wild, Seasons of Moon and Flame, Woman Most Wild, The Holy Wild Grimoire, and most recently, Bones & Honey: A Heathen Prayer Book. A heathen visionary, painter, poet, storyteller, and word-witch, Danielle 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.On this episode we discuss:Her formative experiences in a fundamentalist Christian church, and why she believes we choose the families that will wound us in exactly the right way for our own growthHow she met the Goddess during time spent in Ireland as a young womanWhat it means for her to embrace the term "heathen," and how she sees it as living on "untamed spiritual ground"How she came to know the Goddess a trickster and fringe dweller, and what shifts when we embrace her in this way - as opposed to a victim of oppressive patriarchyPlus Danielle reads two beautiful prayers from her latest book, Bones and Honey! Show Notes If you’d like to know whose ancestral tribal lands you currently reside on, you can look up your address here: https://native-land.ca/You can also visit the Coalition of Natives and Allies for more helpful educational resources about Indigenous rights and history.Please – if you love this podcast and/or have read my book, please consider leaving me a review, and thank you for supporting my work!You can watch this and other podcast episodes at the Home to Her YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@hometoherYou can learn more about Danielle and her work at her websites: https://danielledulsky.com/ and  https://www.thehagschool.com/. Danielle's latest book is Bones and Honey: A Heathen Prayer Book.During this episode, Danielle mentioned the book Mysteries of the Dark Moon, by Demetra George. She also mentioned the work of depth pyschologist Bill Plotkin and philosopher Bayo Akomolafe.I referenced the activist Valarie Kaur, and specifically her "Breathe and Push" speech.
