In this episode, I speak with Gabriela Gutierrez, writer, researcher, poet, mythologist and scholar of ancient religion, to explore a theme very close to my own heart: the female shaman and the role of darkness.

Gabriela has spent years finding her way back to the old wisdom of our ancestors, through the living land, the body and the womb.

She speaks so beautifully of the darkness as a holy place of revelation, the womb of the Great Mother where new life is birthed into being.

It is a conversation that invites you to remember the deep wisdom that already lives within your own body.

Gabriela Gutierrez is a Spanish–Welsh writer, poet, mythologist, and scholar of ancient religion whose work explores the intersection of myth, ritual, and ecology. Her research is concerned with recovering the animistic worldviews that preceded institutional religion and asking how their ways of understanding the sacred might speak meaningfully to contemporary life.
