 Phyllis Curott is an attorney, spiritual teacher, and the most widely published Wiccan author in the world. Her books include the internationally best-selling memoir Book of Shadows which introduced generations to the wisdom of Witchcraft and the magic of the Goddess. A graduate of Brown University in Ethics and Political Philosophy and a Trustee of the Parliament of the World’s Religions, she has spent more than forty-five years practicing and teaching Earth-based spiritual traditions.  Her work brings together ancient wisdom, direct spiritual experience, and contemporary insight, offering practical ways to reconnect with the living world and live in alignment with the patterns that sustain life.  In this conversation, we talk about dragons, despair, embodiment, and the wild magic of being fully human. There’s something powerful about naming the hard stuff, staying present, and trusting that even the deepest pain can become the soil for rebirth.If you’re in a season of shedding, this one is for you.
