#655 - Forgotten, Burned, Silenced—The Healers They Called Witches! Part 2 With Perdita Finn

EVEN MORE about this episode!

What if the women once labeled as witches were actually the wisdom keepers of their time? In Part 2 of our powerful conversation with Perdita Finn, we unveil the truth behind centuries of persecution—how skilled healers and spiritual leaders were silenced during the so-called Age of Enlightenment. Learn how their sacred practices, including ancestral prayer and the rosary, continue to ripple through time, offering healing and miracles today.

We dive deep into the mystical threads that connect us across generations—cosmic links like nesting dolls within the universe. From Leonardo da Vinci’s coded symbolism to the resilience of the Divine Feminine, this episode challenges historical narratives and invites you to reclaim your spiritual inheritance. Don’t miss this eye-opening conclusion to a journey through magic, memory, and the unstoppable rise of sacred feminine power.

Guest Biography:

Perdita Finn is a spiritual teacher and author devoted to reclaiming ancestral wisdom and intuitive magic. She co-founded the feral fellowship The Way of the Rose with her husband, Clark Strand, inspiring their book The Way of the Rose: The Radical Path of the Divine Feminine Hidden in the Rosary. Their upcoming book, Circles Not Lines, explores building spiritual community beyond patriarchy.

Trained by Zen masters, spirit workers, and psychic Susan Saxman (with whom she co-wrote The Reluctant Psychic), Perdita now leads workshops on connecting with the dead and activating miracles through ancestral collaboration. Her recent book, Take Back the Magic: Conversations with the Unseen World, is a call to remember the soul’s long story. She speaks widely on romantic animism, spiritual sobriety, and living in partnership with the unseen world.
