This week I am back to monologuing as I share about changes evolving in my business and personal life. This episode is heavy, a reflection of the heaviness that is all around us, but there is also a sense of purpose and meaning interwoven throughout. I hope you'll join me to hear more of my personal story, and my evolving vision in response to these times. Support the show

You can find Byron at myvillagewitch.com, or listen to her podcast at wyrdmountaingals.podbean.com. Byron's newest book, Small Magics; Practical Secrets from an Appalachian Village Witch, is available for pre-order now. Support the show

"Suck me dry you uptight fakers...."I look around at people who seem like husks, sucked dry, exhausted from following the rules created by power-hungry automatons. People who have lost their wildness, and are withering away. These lyrics from the song Better in the Morning by Birdtalker have perfectly captured that feeling of being sucked dry by people who are rigid, uptight, feigning perfection, while smouldering a dark shadowy longing for wildness inside themselves (and destroying it outside themselves).In this week's podcast episode I am issuing a call to all wildlings to move against these forces. We musn't follow rules that destroy the world. There are rules that matter, rules that govern the turning of the seasons and the movement of energy through ecosystems. These are the rules we must understand and follow, not the ones created by uptight fakers. May we take up our wild green staffs and change the rules, together. Support the show

What is liberation? What does it mean to be free? What sustains the soul while we walk this Earth-life?This week's podcast episode is my musings on these topics and more, and as always, enjoy the ambient birdsong as my feathered neighbors contribute to the conversation. From my heart,ErynSupport the show

This week's podcast episode is a reflection on an encounter I recently had with Norway Spruce at the beautiful Rhoneymeade Arboretum in Centre Hall, PA. This is another powerful teaching from the trees on how to walk the old roads of wisdom that still lie under our feet, wherever we are. Support the show

Our current evolution of consciousness is asking us to examine and re-evaluate the importance we have given to the construct of currency.Does money really reflect what we collectively value? Or has this human construct sort of run away with us? What is the true nature of currency, and how has it become misconstrued through our current trajectory of centralizing power?Some more resources that I recommend in the episode: Sacred Economics by Charles EisensteinThe Soul of Money by Lynne TwistThe Serviceberry by Robin Wall KimmererSupport the show

In this week's podcast episode, I offer you a challenge. Can you begin to shift into a shamanic worldview? Can you begin to live into the experience of entering the Otherworld, even as you walk through this one? Can you awaken to the reality that you are surrounded by sentient beings who see you, know you, and interact with you in ways that we have forgotten how to participate with?I hope you will take on my challenge this week, and enter the portals all around you. I would love to hear your experiences. Support the show
