Síle Seoige interviews Mari Kennedy about the dark feminine, stages of womanhood, and the impact of patriarchy.
Topics covered : The dark feminine/An Chailleach, infertility, grief, good girl conditioning, masculine and feminine forces, patriarchy, menopause, 4 (not 3) stages of womanhood - Maiden, Mother, Sovereign Queen and Crone, Friday the 13th, Síle's day, year of the Fire Horse, Spring Equinox, Sinéad O'Connor, rebellion, new age wellness, Síle na gig, feminine rising. For this special Friday the 13th episode, I’m joined by a teacher and guide in the Celtic Wisdom tradition, the wonderful Mari Kennedy. Mari lives in her home county of Sligo with her partner writer Eugene O'Brien, and she works with the Celtic Wheel of the Year, an ancient framework that invites us to live in deeper alignment with nature, cyclical wisdom and the cycles of life. Her work centres on women’s relationship to power, wisdom and remembering who we truly are. The question she keeps returning to, and that runs through everything she does, is: how do we respond wisely and powerfully to the chaos and collapse of this time? In this conversation we cover a lot...from Mari’s own personal story that is so powerful, to conversations around feminine and masculine energies…
