Dancing With the Wild

Deepen into your wild roots with herbcraft, ritual with the seasons and the moon, pilgrimage to Ireland.

24/10/2025

Restore the sacred feminine as you restore your own sacred wild, coming back into intimacy with the land, who is our body.

Join me Earth My Body: A School to Priestess the Sacred Wild, a yearlong immersion to become a ritualist, learning ritual as has been taught to me by my teachers of human and more than human ones on this land in the west of Ireland. Learn the ways of the priestess: the secrets waiting to be revealed by land, sea and sky, the magic of the herbs, the guidance of our group of Sacred Warrioresses: Brighid, the Morrigan, Sheela na gig, Maeve, Gobnait, the Cailleach and Mis.

We meet via the mysterious interwebs and for a week on the land here in Ireland.

The smile of someone who lives love and liberation! The smile of someone walking on her ancestral lands of Ireland, seeking healing as she plays her grandfather’s violin to the waters and the stones. The smile of sister sadada; a woman who the universe (and likely Brigid!) conspired to bring us together.

As someone committed to guiding the Irish diaspora on these lands, it is a honor to walk with sadada. She is sharing and teaching me so much in opening up to the liberation of letting love lead (for me it’s a practice of devotion and discipline!).

I am so delighted to put together this mutual aid for sister, as she continues her ancestral healing and seeking. All funds raised will of course go directly to her. Thanks for your support which can happen in ways other than funds if that’s not accessible to you right now. Sharing to your communities is also a wonderful way to build momentum. With love and gratitude ###

You can find a link to support her on my bio page.

Eat the trees

Make medicine with the trees

Dream with the trees.

An original mythical name of Ireland was Ierne which I have been told stems from an old Irish name of yew (iúr) and translates as Land of the Yew. Our early ancestors were known as forest people (before the English colonizers cut and stole most of our forests). Our first alphabet, the Ogham, is based on trees. Trees are a part of our DNA.

May you nourish this yearning for trees by eating a tree. HERE is a lovely recipe for pine shortbread shared by a participant in my Way of the Herbs course.

May you make medicine with a tree: elderberry syrup is so simple and so high in vitamins and minerals to vitalize your immune system.

To make elderberry syrup, simmer 3 TBSP of elderberries in 2 cups of water for 30 minutes (low simmer, not a boil). Allow to steep for another hour or two or overnight. Stain out the herbs and add 1/4 cup honey (local, raw) and 1/4 cup Irish whiskey (optional). Dosage: 1 TBSP per day as a preventative and up to 6 TBSP per day when acute symptoms are present. Store in the fridge for up to 6 months.

May you dream deep and long with a tree. Dream with their wisdom, remembering to root into the nourishment of the dark, slowing way way down, observing the moon, dancing with the wild winds.

Inspired by Sacred Warriores Brighid of Kildare whose temple, and later monastery, was nestled in a grove of oaks.

Today’s post on my Substack account, Dancing with the Wild. Would love to have you there as I’ll likely be less here.

Hearth tending. The hearth is the heart of the home, a place of nourishment and connection, where the flame of illumination and connection ever burn. Where we create food for the body and are fed food for the spirit. The hearth ignites the fire within, the truest essence of our being, kept alight by the breath of our ancestors and the old ways being remembered. We come to the hearth to discover the sacred in the mundane, to practice ritual and to be still, to listen and to share.

Come back to the sacredness of the hearth as we remember we are hearth-tenders: priestess, midwife priestess, alchemist.

You are invited to journey with us: from the dark of Winter Solstice, guided by a Solstice candle lit at the hearth, through to Imbolc, where we tend to Brigid’s flame, protecting hearth, home and household. We will gather at our virtual and physical hearth each week to invoke the aspect of tending to the hearth, to find the simple and rich joy in nourishment for body and spirit, to create, to listen and to share.

Our Irish ancestors walked with death in a way that has dramatically changed in modernity. An understanding of how we as humans have honored death through the ages and how we have grieved, can offer wisdom for living, dying and grieving in these times.

Join us for a unique and reflective pilgrimage in the west of Ireland, held over the Samhain threshold, a time when the ancestors are close at hand and the lessons they carry for us are revealed in the land and sacred places. We will gather to deepeninto the wisdom and traditions that these people have honored through the mists of time. We will visit ancient neolithic sites of ceremony and burial. We will visit a workhouse, where people often went to die, in hopes of a proper burial. We will learn about waking traditions and banshees, keening practices, and herbs and trees that carry us through these threshold times of death and grief. We will ally an Irish goddess as a death guide for this time and beyond.

All the details via the connection from my bio.

A candle lit for humanity, truth, inclusiveness
A candle lit for hope
A candle lit for the courage to stand for justice
A candle lit to illuminate a better way
A candle lit for fortitude

As this day (presidential election day in the USA) unfolds may we hold radical hope, deep rooted hope, nourished by the earth and each other, that all shall be well. You are invited to join me in lighting a candle with this spell. What words would you add?
