We are delighted to announce that we will get to interview Perdita Finn later this month to celebrate her forthcoming book Mothers of Magic. Please enjoy this replay of our first interview with her from January of 2024, Episode 11.

Episode 11: Join us and our special guest Perdita Finn as we take a peak behind the veil and talk about her new book Take Back the Magic, Conversations With the Unseen World… The dead are all around us, just waiting for us to include them in things. The time has come for us to trust our intuition and take back the magic for ourselves.

You can find more of Perdita by following her on Instagram @perditafinn, joining the Facebook group The Way of The Rose (which can also be found on instagram), or signing up for her substack, take back the magic, to receive regular writings and insights. And of course there’s her website, www.takebackthemagic.com.
