Radical and restorative, Mothers of Magic is an intervention for our time and a map back to the maternal wisdom that has always been ours—a path toward true connection and the deepest sources of love.
At a time when so many of us feel unmoored from guidance, care, and belonging, Mothers of Magic is a profound call to return to our deepest sources of knowledge, nourishment, and kinship.
Do not be fooled! This book is more than a book. It is a passport to a wild country and Perdita Finn is a poet, a magician, a myth maker and unmaker, a storyteller of great power, humor, and depth. As you read her alluring tales of being mothered and mothering, you will meet your own mother, your grandmother, your ancestors, and yourself. And as you practice and pray along to her reverent and irreverent incantations, you will find healing and hope.
Elizabeth Lesser, author of the NY Times bestsellers, Broken Open, Cassandra Speaks, and other books, and the cofounder of Omega Institute
In this luminous summons, Perdita Finn reveals the quirky wonders of her enchanting matrilineal matrix and prompts us to excavate the magic hidden within our own family trees. Her stories are rapturous and real, her writing exquisite, and her connection to the unseen as ordinary and alluring as baking bread. Perdita opens the way for people of all genders to harvest the wisdom of our female ancestors, connecting us not only with our deepest selves but with our place in the entire web of creation to which we belong.
