Many Mothers + Many Lifetimes: Ancestral Connection w–Perdita Finn
In this episode, Perdita Finn shares her knowledge of empowering individuals to activate their own magic with the help of their ancestors. Together, we talk about connecting with the dead, the battle against matriarchal wisdom, and reclaiming both the power of the rosary and the significance of our relationship with the unknown.
“Don’t think of a soul as an object, as a pearl. Think of a soul as a long, long red thread creating the very fabric of existence woven together with other threads.”
Perdita Finn is the co-founder, with her husband Clark Strand, of the non-denominational international fellowship The Way of the Rose, which inspired their book The Way of the Rose: The Radical Path of the Divine Feminine Hidden in the Rosary. In addition to extensive study with Zen masters, priests, and healers, she apprenticed with the psychic Susan Saxman, with whom she wrote The Reluctant Psychic. Finn now teaches popular workshops on Getting to Know the Dead, in which participants are empowered to activate the magic in their own lives with the help of their ancestors. She is the author of Take Back the Magic: Conversations with the Unseen World and lives with her family in the moss-filled shadows of the Catskill Mountains.
