Dreaming the Ancestors
An intimate journey of remembering and reclaiming ancestral stories, feminine wisdom, and earth magic. Throughout the series, I talk with guests from Ireland & the British Isles about ancestral dreaming and remembering as a pathway back to reverent ways of living in the modern world. Through stories, teachings, and personal sharing we’ll discover the greater possibility of who we can be in this time of planetary change.

Welsh Witchcraft & Women of Welsh Mythology ~ Mhara Starling
Wales is a country full of legends and myths about the spiritual world; stories of sacred lakes, healing herbs, women of magic, and the mighty red dragon. The Land remembers these stories and the ancient ways of mystery and magic; traditions that have their roots in old Brythonic Britain.
There are some fierce and magical women in Wales’s ancient mythology who embody the archetype of the Witch in a variety of ways. In this episode, Mhara shares deep wisdom about some of these mythic women (such as Cerridwen, Rhiannon, and Arianrhod) and the Welsh magical traditions at large.
