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'.

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!).

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.
