OUR STORY

The tale of Etain and Midir is one of the great love stories of Irish mythology, and our guest Amanda Verdery brings it to the podcast just in time for Bealtaine, the springtime festival that celebrates new life and fertility.

OUR GUEST

Amanda Verdery is a writer, certified shamanic practitioner, and initiated medicine woman in her Celtic ancestral traditions. A second-generation Scottish American with Irish, English and French ancestry, most of her learning hails from the Scottish & Irish mythic and mystical paths. She is devoted to helping women in particular remember and embody their dán— their soul's gift and calling.

In 2022, she founded the Wild Becoming Sanctuary, a modern mystery school guiding deep & holy women of all kinds into communion with their power and capacity for self-healing. Join her in the Wild Becoming Sanctuary.

She also offers 1:1 guidance to those undergoing a holy rite of passage in their lives, in her Wild Becoming Immersion. All of her work is led by the Path of the Goddess and the circle-wisdom of the Wheel of the Year.

OUR CONVERSATION

  • The power of initiation and choice, particularly in women’s lives right now
  • The way we look to myth for psychological insights, but also seek to understand our connection to the more-than-human world.
  • Seeking your soul’s true name, your dán
  • The Claddagh ring, the hands, crown, and heart - friendship, loyalty, and love.
  • At one point, Etain is turned into a puddle of water. What does this teach us about our romance with water and our own essence? Water as the ultimate model for shapeshifting.
  • True love is a great threat to the patriarchy.

Want to keep exploring ideas like these? Join us for the next Myth Workers’ Salon via Zoom on May 4 at 11 AM ET.
