Could ancient goddesses hold the key to modern healing? In Part 1 of my two-part interview with beloved friend and spiritual teacher Perdita Finn, we explore the forgotten power of the Divine Feminine and its role in reshaping spiritual life today. From navigating traditional religion as a mother to reviving ancestral practices rooted in feminine wisdom, Perdita shares how the maternal lineage of healers, mystics, and witches still guides us.
We dive into the mysteries of the Black Madonna, miraculous moments of divine intervention, and the hidden connections between pagan goddesses and Marian icons. You’ll hear powerful personal stories—from sacred statues offering hope during financial hardship to the energetic awakening that came from living atop ancient indigenous cairns. This episode will inspire you to reclaim your spiritual birthright and connect with the unseen forces that have always walked beside us. Don’t miss this rich, soul-stirring conversation!
Guest Biography:
Perdita Finn is a spiritual teacher and author devoted to reclaiming ancestral wisdom and intuitive magic. She co-founded the feral fellowship The Way of the Rose with her husband, Clark Strand, inspiring their book The Way of the Rose: The Radical Path of the Divine Feminine Hidden in the Rosary. Their upcoming book, Circles Not Lines, explores building spiritual community beyond patriarchy.
Trained by Zen masters, spirit workers, and psychic Susan Saxman (with whom she co-wrote The Reluctant Psychic), Perdita now leads workshops on connecting with the dead and activating miracles through ancestral collaboration. Her recent book, Take Back the Magic: Conversations with the Unseen World, is a call to remember the soul’s long story. She speaks widely on romantic animism, spiritual sobriety, and living in partnership with the unseen world.
