Join us in this episode, for an excellent chat with Celtic Witch & Author Danu Forest! Danu is a traditional Bean Feasa or Wisewoman of Irish and English descent with over 30 years’ experience in the Celtic tradition. Born with the second sight she is a natural seer working closely with the spirits of the land and its ancestral and Otherworldly intelligences as well as plant and tree spirits and the genius loci, the old gods or powers of place. She is a Celtic spirit worker, healer and a plant spirit herbalist working within her local sacred landscape, deep in the Avalon near Glastonbury, UK. Danu holds regular ceremonies as well as workshops and online training, and is noted for her scholarship as well as her intuitive and practical experience. She is the author of several books including: ‘Wild Magic’, 'Celtic Tree Magic' (Llewellyn) and 'The Magical Year' (Watkins) as well as her new oracle deck, ‘Celtic Goddesses Witches and Queens’ (Schiffer). She holds an MA in Celtic studies specializing in the Otherworld, and is a PhD student researching the Celtic Fairy Faith.
We delve into the 3- Part Celtic Cosmology (Earth, Sea, Sky/Upper World, Middle World, Lower World) and how they represent real places but also shifts in consciousness or perception. For the Celts, this was an endless cycle shifting between Earth, Sea, Sky. And how this was a huge influence on Celtic spirituality & philosophy especially in the Iron Age -over 2000 years ago. Danu explains that the Celts had many Gods but not in human forms. They were forces ever present in Nature. Nature is divinity in the Celtic Cosmology. We also talk a bit about the Fairies who live in that Otherworldly realm.
Danu explains that nothing about the Celtic Traditions are exclusive to only living in the UK or having a certain bloodline though. She gives us suggestions/techniques on how we can build a connection to the land spirits as well as mend our relationship wherever we are on the earth. This takes patient & gentle care over time especially if that land has any trauma attached to it. So much can come from doing this! It encourages us to be more ecologically minded too and have respect for the Earth.And its about re-building a relationship with the spirits of the land (wherever we are) which is very important work for all of us.
We chatted about Danu’s new oracle deck. She tells us that Women in Celtic Mythology were amazingly empowered. In this deck, we can draw wisdom and inspiration from them and also explore some of the other Celtic Goddesses that are lesser known too. These Celtic Queens, Witches, Goddesses can be allies for Women in all the aspects of our journey!
Danu has a new book coming out this December on Cerridwen the Welsh Goddess. Also, next summer she’s coming out with another book with Llewellyn about Home & Hearth Folk Magic. Tune in and be enlightened!
