Introduction

      My love, in these pages I will speak to you as my Sister, as if we were sipping rosehip tea and sharing stories of how we first found our magick so long ago, deep within the wild place. I will tell you of your part in the collective feminine awakening, and I will honor you as a high-level Priestess. I am neither above you nor below you; we sit at the same table. I, too, have felt the heart-centered ignition of a soul well nourished, and you already know what I am about to tell you. Woman, you have a Witch’s soul buried deep within your busy psychic terrain, and that part of you yearns to live in alignment with the rhythms of nature, to mark transitions with ritual, and to be healed with the medicine of sisterhood. These are the keys to your Witch’s liberation, and they are already yours. You, my Sister-Witch, already know of your birthright as a woman of this wild world, but I am calling on you to remember. You already know, but now, right this minute, I ask you to open your eyes wide to the Mystery and surrender to your inner alchemical wildness that is Witch.

      A communal subterranean yearning for wild woman spirituality is drumming underneath our feet, and this longing has been born of the feminine’s spiritual starvation. Notably and understandably dissatisfied are we with our apparent limited options for divine connection. Facing a spiritual void, we are pushed too quickly toward prepackaged religious meals, sold to us in myriad forms. Left with famished souls, we dismiss any hope of finding true spiritual autonomy and commit to a path far more limiting than what we deserve. Wild One, we deserve it all. As women, we are the embodiment of the feminine divine and the very essence of the cosmic dance. Our spirits burn with star-stuff, and we were born to be spiritually empowered.

       YOUR WILD HOMECOMING

      I see you now, a woman whole in her soul, body, mind, and spirit. Crouching in the shadows of the triple-locked broom closet you are. You may feel it is not worth the
