Reshaped by Parenthood: Families, Fathers, and the First Year - Rachelle Seliga

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!)
