Perdita Finn returns to explore who mothers were before patriarchy, who they’ve become within it, and what magic becomes possible when enough mothers are in the room. We also explore the holy body of the grandmother, menopause as a power surge, the eternal return, and how living in relationship with the dead makes us less afraid to love and to change.
Perdita Finn is the author of Take Back the Magic: Conversations with the Unseen World, Mothers of Magic: Summoning the Wisdom of Our Ancestors, and with her husband Clark Strand The Way of the Rose: The Radical Path of the Divine Feminine Hidden in the Rosary. She teaches popular workshops on connecting and collaborating with both the dead and the animate everything. She lives with her family in the moss-filled shadows of the Catskill Mountains.
