Lost Lineages & Ever Evolving Lore - Milla Prince

Lost Lineages & Ever Evolving Lore - Milla Prince

As people and communities move and change with time, stories evolve and lineages are lost. But information always goes where it needs to in order to survive and resurface again when needed. Ancestral stories can guide us on our paths, and lost lineages can be remembered. Milla Prince is an herbalist, writer, and teacher who moved from Finland, where she had been deeply immersed since childhood in ancestral plant lore from that intact tradition, to the west coast of America about 10 years ago. Her blog, newsletter, Instagram account, Fireweed & Nettle herbal medicines, and The Cauldron zine reach tens of thousands of people each month. But I knew her when... and we talk about how funny that when was, as well as touching on a large range of other topics. We talk about: The unexpected internet subculture that first brought us together Bear lore and the myth that spans the northern lands and shapes Milla’s online identity Baba Yaga arising in the collective consciousness right now The dream that guided Milla to change her work in the world The circuitous paths we take when finding ourselves Ancestral medicine & being indigenous to a place Cultural appropriation as a symptom of spiritual longing #witch #ancestry #medicine and mimetic expression online (evolving lore!) The trauma of the burning times Working with ancestral lines that are lost to you Links: Milla's website The Woman Who Married a Bear Eve Bradford Max Dashu The Seven Daughters of Eve book  Giving Voice to Bear book The Spirit Weavers Gathering The Good Medicine Confluence Palestine on a Plate book Ask Baba Yaga: Otherworldly Advice for Everyday Troubles book Music by Mariee Siou (from the song Wild Eyes) Mythic Medicinals herbals Take our fun quiz Which Healing Herb Matches Your Energy?
