Glædelig Sommer-Solhverv Ahhh, det er så smukt et sted på årshjulet, og det er en fornemmelse af at være ankommet. Denne episode handler om moderskabet, men også lige så meget om slægten, og om hvordan vi som kvinder på vores mors side har en 'maternal line'. Jeg taler om overgangen ind i moderskabet, om Big Mama, om Bedstemor, og om at der ofte er mere dækkende ord på engelsk til at beskrive begreberne. Jeg introducerer jer for en fin lille øvelse: 'Naming the Lineage', hvor vi ved at sætte navne på vores bedstemødre, får kontakt til vores rødder. Jeg kommer i introen til at side, at dette er episode 13, det er episode 14 ;O)  Jeg nævner i denne episode min bog: 'Giv dig tid, mor', 'Kvinde din krop er fantastisk' af Natalie Angier, 'Alfabet' af Inger Christensen. Jeg taler om en kvinde (hvis navn jeg ikke kunne huske ;O)), der har forsket i nordisk mytologi. Du finder hende i podcasten Medicin Stories af Amber Magnolia Hill.

ep. #31  This conversation and episode is truly one of Mallika's favorite of all time. Lara Veleda Vesta is an author and illistrator, exploring  dís-ability, rites of passage, ancestral mythology, folklore and the sacred creative.  She lives with Myalgic Encephalomeylitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, a disease caused by viruses and inflammation with an infectious trigger.  Prior to her illness, Lara was a university professor teaching classes in English and writing and a PhD student in Philosophy and Religion. Lara's deep work and knowledge of integrating difficult initiatory experiences, expanded by her use of ritual, research and linguistics, help her blend a beautiful weaving of return to old ways, old knowing and the deep peace that is available to us all. Explored in this episode:  Why narrative is so important to healing Stages of initiation and rite of passage Finding the joy available in healing Reorienting our job/to-dos to come from spirit and ancestors Sacred life is available to any one of us Collective rite of passage this past year Redefining our values and letting things go How do we know when we are on a "return" Ritualizing every aspect of the passage Grief is part of the return and integration of the passage Silence is integral for sacred work The potency of being together in a ceremonial frame Illness and disability were hallmarks of initiation in historic stories The opportunity and communication that comes through as symptoms of illness How to stay out of resistance to pain and other difficult symptoms The power and potential of the millions of people who are ill or living with disability What is your super power?Quotes from Lara:"We need each other's stories so we can know what's survivable.""What I have found useful is ritualizing every aspect of the process."Mallika's InstagramMallika's Website Ashley's InstagramAshley's Website Support the show (https://www.thewildandwise.com/donate)

I've been working with a theme of healing and illness as a rite of passage in my writings and offerings this month.  I could not think of anyone I wanted to speak to more on that topic than Lara Veleda Vesta. Lara has an MFA, is an artist, author, storyteller and educator transforming chronic illness into a path of healing and reclaiming.   She is the author of The Moon Divas Guidebook, and The Moon Divas Oracle, illustrator of The Moon Divas Oracle Cards and the newly released Wild Soul Runes: Reawakening the Ancestral Feminine. Her research interests include ancestral connection, mythtelling and disability as initiation, and she is currently creating an illustrated guide to death transitions. Her path of myth, folk magic, ancestor lore and ritual practice is shared through classes at the Wild Soul School.   This is an incredibly rich conversation that I know you will love:  Lara shares her experience of chronic illness and how thinking of this experience as a rite of passage and an initiation supported her.  We talk about the fundamental optimismthat a rites of passage lens allows us:  that fallow times are okay, that grieving is okay, and that you will emerge from this time with some kind of lesson or gift.  Lara talks in-depth about four things that have supported her during the radical transformations she's traversed in her life:  myth, earth connection, ritual and her connection to her ancestors.  She shares her "non-negotiable" daily ritual that keeps her grounded and attuned to her inner knowing.  Finally, we talk about divination and the cultivation of intuition and meaning-making.   There are SO many pearls of wisdom, reassurances and big ideas in this podcast.  You'll definitely want to grab a pen and notebook for this one!  Enjoy!

We don't need astrology to tell us that the coming four weeks will carry a LOT. We all feel it coming. If astrology offers us a reflection and contextualization of our lived experience, if this old ancient language can help us understand and move through this specific moment in time, then let us experiment with the possibility that studying the astrology of the moment can be nourishing, empowering, and resonant. Will you join me? This is by necessity brief. I could have covered so much more here. But I have done that elsewhere. For an in-depth look at Scorpio, please check out my 160-page workbook Living the Signs: Scorpio or my oral teachings on the sign in The Medicine of Autumn audio series. See also my previous episode with Lara Veleda Vesta, which is very Scorpionic in nature (even though astrology is never mentioned!). In the episode, I mention the excellent work of Danica Boyce and Luis Mojica. Please check out Danica's podcast Fair Folk and Luis's podcast Holistic Life Navigation to learn more about their teachings. Please reach out if you have any questions. Sending warm wishes.

It is with great pleasure and pride that I share my first interview on Moon to Moon. My intention with this interview has been to honor and celebrate the work of a teacher I greatly admire and respect, and I was thrilled and grateful when Lara Veleda Vesta said Yes to my request for her conversation. I begin with a contemplation on teachers, and what makes for a great teacher. This lasts about 14 minutes if you want to jump straight to hearing Lara. During the interview, Lara shares her incredible story as a way to ground us in understanding how she came to the key phrases, healing frameworks, and teaching methods that have been profoundly shifting for me and so many others. We go really deep, and we discuss difficult, "scary" topics. Please review the themes below to be sure you are in a mental-emotional place to listen without too much triggering. I recommend listening on a walk or in a safe space, so that you are able to receive without distraction. You might enjoy lighting a candle to signal your preparedness. Topics include: embracing surrender and non-linearity, de-colonizing one's spiritual practice, letting go of who we once were and loving who we are now, living in a culture without proper rites of passages, anchoring through illness and disease, learning to trust our "unverifiable personal gnosis" while still holding deep respect for academic standards and primary source evidence, embracing animism as a way of life, healing the "witch wound" and how it affects everything and everyone on this planet, loving the idea of teachers as portal-openers, and much more. We close with the question: what does it mean for you to live "moon to moon?" I love her answer. You can follow Lara on Instagram at @veledavesta. Check out her website laravesta.co and her deeply nourishing Patreon community. I also encourage you to check out her Moon Divas Guidebook and her learning space The Wild Soul School. I encourage all listeners to check out her upcoming Ancestral Connection class. To work more intimately with the themes of our conversation, please order my Living the Signs: Scorpio workbook. Similar themes are covered in different ways in this podcast's namesake workbook: Moon to Moon.

In this episode I talk about... - how listening opens up humility and deeper learning - working with the will in order to serve what we really care about - co-creation with intuition and the non-human - The Magician's Table as our given set of tools and circumstances, always subject to shifts - channeled loving guidance to sustain us - how to learn from autumn as a teacher - the astrology of Libra 2020 and how we got here (with key dates!) If you would like to learn from me, please check out my new offering: The Medicine of Autumn, a series of oral teachings designed to contemplate change, transformation, and visioning through the lens of astrology, myth, and the tarot.

Happy Beltane & May Day sweet listeners!  I recorded this episode with the wonderful Lara Veleda Vesta quite some time ago and felt bad for publishing it so late, but listening back to our conversation just now made me realise that the timing is just perfect - Lara has so much wisdom and beauty to share around rites of passage and working through really difficult times. I love her work and am honoured to be one of her student and to share her message. Here is some of what we talked about:  - What it means to be a Dís-ability Witch living with chronic illness  - Myth as healer - Living in ceremony in big and small ways  - Leaning into ancestral support and creative practices through difficult times - The magic of naming yourself  - Rites of passage as death transformations  Lara Veleda Vesta is an artist, author and educator transforming chronic illness into a path of healing and reclaiming.

In this episode, Erin speaks with Lara Veleda Vesta, creator of The Wild Soul School and author of the Moon Divas Guidebook. In our conversation, we explore many powerful topics including embodiment, Lara’s journey navigating life with chronic illness, the importance of growing relationship with our ancestors, and so much more. 

The scrolls are in our bones, and an embodied relationship with our ancestors can bring countless rewards and reveal things a merely intellectual path cannot. Through myth, ritual, and creative expression we can remember the feminine magic of our grandmothers and reap their blessings. Lara Veleda Vesta is an artist, writer, and educator with strong, well tended ties to her Northern European ancestors. Her works and offerings focus on folk spirituality, archaic magic, mythology, ritual, and women’s remembrance. Our conversation runs deep and meanders from the cultural legacy of the burning times to the language of symbol to the nature of fate to the illusion of linear time and its effect on our modern lives to mold toxicity to snake medicine.
