Excerpt from Woman Most Wild: Three Keys to Liberating the Witch Within
The ebbs and flows of the great Earth’s natural cycles live within you, Witch.
Know the wild feminine as circular, and concerned above all else with the
interconnectedness of all things. That logical left brain of yours wants to separate,
fragment, and linearize all that you perceive, but your generative, intuitive right
brain knows a deeper truth. In your cells you know that this world lives in you as
much as you live in it. I call this magickal life for which you are destined your
spiritual integrity, but in truth it is your physical, mental, and soulful integrity as

of your emotions and creative work,
and the continual, spiraling
understanding that divinity exists in it

recollection of your embodied cycles is
the key to the broom closet’s first

The intentional embodiment of your
wild rhythm is integral to your
spirituality because it grounds you
firmly in this world; it creates
opportunity for continual affirmation of
your sexuality and creativity as
hallmarks of your very nature. There
is no great chasm between your
enduring spirit and your holy, sensual
self. The rhythms of the wild world are
proof of your holistic being. Your sex
and your spirit were forced into a
divorce long ago, but now, now let
these two parts of you be reunited under red satin sheets. The first pillar of wild
woman spirituality is the marriage between the Witch’s whole being — that is, her
soul, body, mind, and spirit — and the cycles of the world around her. You are not
merely in the world, my love; you are of the world.
When a woman’s life becomes isolated from the cycles of nature’s magick, she not
only experiences a starvation of soul and spirit; she begins to question her sanity.
The psyches and bodies of women are meant to wax and wane, swelling and
thinning out with much majestic variability. The feminine is neither even-keeled
