Reclaiming magic with Lindsay Mack of Tarot for the Wild Soul
<p>Hello dear friends!</p><p>Today I’m sending out an epic and beautiful conversation I shared with tarot teacher Lindsay Mack on my podcast Fair Folk. If you enjoy the episode, please consider subscribing to Fair Folk on your podcast app (Eg. <a target="_blank" href="https://open.spotify.com/show/1G0xL1lgN2quOncVpluIWM?si=e46b985104934831">Spotify</a>, <a target="_blank" href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/fair-folk-podcast/id1177770160">Apple Podcasts</a>) as I don’t often repost episodes here.</p><p>Some words of mine from the episode, inspired by a story Lindsay told about a moment with her daughter:</p><p>“When I think about going into “holding space” or waiting for something to happen, the fear in my body is that there will be an absence there, that I'll be lonely, that it'll be an abyss, that that nothingness will happen.</p><p>And that's never what happens. </p><p>But I think that's the scarcity, or fear of death that we all come into the world with, and is a part of human nature, but doesn't drive human nature. The story we've been told that everyone's just trying to win and it's human nature to be shitty and —I don't believe that at all. It's a terrible, confusing lie. </p><p>And I could give many examples from history, and I love to do that. We can talk about enclosure, we can talk about the Roman Empire. We can talk about the Bronze Age, the rise of hill forts, the Indo-European invasion, and mass migrations, displacement, resource scarcity, etc. All of those things are just occasions where this kind of logic comes through, the belief that scarcity is the organizing principle of life and that it's right to be in competition, or that there's some sort of necessity to win, to control.</p><p>The beautiful thing about actual radical empathy for the self and for the other, of real presence, is just that — it's always available. No one event, no culture can breed that out of the world. We're built for love more than anything else. We're standing on a ground that's built of the love of all of our human and non-human ancestors. The entire world is made of that drive to connect. And not just drive, but like longing and, and joy to connect. And that's where we live. So if spiritual empowerment is to happen, it can happen right now and always will and can.</p><p>It's just a matter of reminding one another, and showing up for one another, and in ways that are ever renewable. It might be a completely different shape in a different culture, or we could have another Ice Age and lose almost everything that we know and we would still invent a way of connecting, and it's glorious.”</p><p>Please enjoy this conversation, and if it inspires you, please share!</p><p>Love,</p><p>Danica</p><p>PS: Lindsay and I are co-hosting a three-hour workshop this Sunday to hold space for reclaiming the magic we all have access to, which arises from our embeddedness in the world. We would be delighted if you join us there. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.tarotforthewildsoul.com/holy-homecoming">Click here to sign up!</a></p><p></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

An anthem for enduring love: From Dawn Till Dawn
<p>Hello and happy Easter!</p><p>Today I find myself serendipitously sharing a dawn-themed offering on the holiday named for the Anglo-Saxon <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%92ostre">dawn goddess Ēostre</a>.</p><p>Last week I was in Northumberland at the <a target="_blank" href="https://thebrothersgillespie.com/land-of-singing-waters">Land of Singing Waters</a> residential, at an stunning 11th century fortified manor house called Dunstan Hall. In a moment of group sharing on the first day of the gathering, a fellow with long flowing locks and a gentle voice who I now know as Marc Block (aka Blossom) piped up with this wildly moving singalong anthem, which he wrote for sharing at protests. Soon the whole room was vibrating with voices and a tangible sense of solidarity, and I immediately thought <strong>wow</strong> — more people need to have this song at their fingertips.</p><p>Not only is the tune incredibly catchy, but the lyrics resonate with a sentiment I’ve been meditating on lately, which I think is good medicine for this moment. That medicine is the reminder that time is not linear, and though our human and non-human ancestors have been through many, many hardships, and we face still more, their love is still here with us. Indeed it is the material that makes up this whole world. And we may suffer and we will die, but the story does not end there. We are still here. And our hearts are still ready with love to share. When we remember that love, we can remember that the dawn that always comes again. </p><p>I asked Marc if I could take a recording of the song and share it here. And he agreed! Thank you so much for your beautiful generous spirit, Marc!</p><p>The lyrics are below. I hope this song serves you well, whether you simply listen once, or take it in your pocket to stoke some love wherever your path may take you.</p><p>Dawn Till Dawn by Marc Block</p><p><strong>Chorus </strong>(with chords):</p><p>D A D</p><p>From dawn till dawn, we survive</p><p>G D A</p><p>From dawn till dawn, we survive</p><p>G A D G</p><p>With hearts full of love, we care for each other</p><p>D A D</p><p>And from dawn till dawn, we survive</p><p></p><p><strong>Verses:</strong></p><p>In light and dark we survive…</p><p>In wind and rain…</p><p>In the heat of the sun…</p><p>Through freeze and fire…</p><p>From dawn till dawn…</p><p>Through drought and flood…</p><p>Through famine and flight…</p><p>From father to son / mother to daughter / brother to brother / sister to sister…</p><p>With grief and rage…</p><p>From dawn till dawn…</p><p>A note from Marc: Other verses can of course be added as anyone wishes to add them – there are many possibilities!</p><p>You can check out more of Marc’s beautiful work <a target="_blank" href="http://marcblock.co.uk">at his website</a>.</p><p>Sincerely,</p><p>Danica</p><p></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

Consolation from the ancestors for the problem of evil
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit <a href="https://enthusiastica.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_7">enthusiastica.substack.com</a><br/><br/><p>Hello friends,</p><p>Today I’m looking back at how our human ancestors dealt with the problem of evil, asking, if there is an unconditionally loving divinity in the world, and “all things work out in the end,” then how is it that bad things happen to good people? And how is evil permitted to exist? I can’t personally offer a definitive answer (probably nobody …</p>
