Today, we welcome folk witch, astrologer + spirit worker Amaya Rourke to share her knowledge about how lunar cycles, fixed stars and the force of water shape our lives.
Amaya begins the episode with stories of ancient civilizations’ connection to the night sky and cosmic ocean. Then we reflect on the power of fluidity and surrender, and consider how moon cycles can guide and transform our lives. We close with a discussion of fixed stars and their capacity to change our relationship with astrology.
Amaya Rourke is an animist folk witch, astrologer, tarot reader, spirit worker, and folk herbalist. Her work guides others called to a wild witchcraft that straddles the seen and unseen worlds, traveling the moonlit and star studded crooked path of the bramble hedge. Rooted in historic folkways and updated for contemporary life, Amaya's praxis seeks to return to the interwoven cycles of the Moon, fixed stars, and living Earth. She has been a featured guest on many podcasts, a writer for limited edition grimoires, Moon planners, and astrology magazines; and is a seasoned workshop writer and facilitator.
