Share what this episode stirred in your heart
In this episode of the Thank Goddess Podcast, I’m delighted to welcome back author, teacher, and mystic Perdita Finn for a conversation about her powerful new book, Mothers of Magic: Summoning the Wisdom of Our Ancestors.
If you enjoyed our previous discussion with Perdita and her husband Clark Strand on The Way of the Rose and the Divine Feminine mysteries hidden within the rosary (Episode 42), then you are going to love this conversation.
Together, we explore what it meant to be a mother before civilisation narrowed the role into the modern definition we know today. As Perdita explains, mothering was once a communal act—one that extended far beyond gender, biology, or the nuclear family. It was a shared responsibility woven through an entire community, creating networks of care, belonging, and support.
In our conversation, we discuss how reconnecting with this broader understanding of mothering can help us heal ourselves, our communities, and our relationships with our own mothers. We also explore the role of our ancestors, the wisdom available to us beyond the veil, and what becomes possible when we remember that we are part of a much larger lineage of love, care, and connection.
This episode is a beautiful invitation to rethink what it means to nurture, to belong, and to be held by both the living and the dead.
