Frequency: 1 episode/11d. Total Eps: 70

Join prolific author and artist Lucy H. Pearce and her creative guests - writers, artists, creatrixes - for profound and practical conversations about what creative magic means to us. We'll reflect on what, how and why we create, what drives us...and what stops us in our tracks. We share honestly how we find the time and energy to make magic in the midst of life's challenges and why we keep on saying yes to our creativity.

Lucy is known for giving real and raw interviews, and now she shares this form of deep dive conversation with many of her favourite creative people.

The first season of Creative Magic is the Wild Initiations series, featuring her immensely popular intimate conversation series recorded to celebrate the launch of her 12th book Crow Moon: reclaiming the wisdom of the dark woods... She will also be joined by some new guests diving into the themes of wild nature, symbols, initiation and creative magic.

19: Dee Mulrooney - Creative Orgasms

Season 2 · Episode 19

Tuesday, September 17, 2024 • Duration 01:18:21

Receive bonus content and extended episodes for just $3 on www.patreon.com/lucyhpearce

Dee Mulrooney is a multi-disciplinary Irish artist. Inhabiting a female body and all that it entails is the main preoccupation of her work. Exile, class, displacement, social history, longing and belonging are some of the themes explored by Dee, through various media, including painting, drawing, film, storytelling, and performance. Her art is fiercely authentic, and she leaves no stone of her own personal healing journey unturned. Dee works with the alchemical aspect of transmutation in her art, using this process to deal with difficult topics, including, abuse, death and loss. Dee’s performance art is provocative and has a political point to make, highly social, collaborative and community building. She is driven by story and symbolism, how we remember and interpret history and women’s role and their bodies within that. She exhibits and performs regularly and had an award-winning show at Edinburgh Fringe 2023.

10: Cali White - Creating Experiential Spaces

Season 1 · Episode 10

Tuesday, May 28, 2024 • Duration 01:01:31

Twenty years ago, Cali White left a corporate career and followed a calling to the healing path. Initially training in psychotherapy, she spent many years immersing herself in the world of psychological and spiritual development and was privileged to find teachers that opened her up to Native American wisdom through Vision Questing, Sweat Lodges, and Shamanic Healing, and then more deeply into rites of passage work through the Women in Power organisation.

From November 2018 she undertook a 13 Moon menopause Pilgrimage around the UK and Ireland to deepen into her indigenous ancestry. Guided by the Ancients, she gathered women every full moon to hold ceremony for those persecuted as witches during the Burning Times and to help heal the inherited trauma wounds of separation that we still carry today. This led to the 2022 I AM WITCH exhibition in Lancaster, out of which The Witches' Revival was born, a now annual healing event in Lancaster, UK, designed to support the healing of the feminine through the reclamation of the Witch Archetype.

Cali lives in an old Beatrix Potter cottage on a hillside in the Lake District where she continues to learn through tending the land and by following her menopausal impulse to "create"!

We talked about:

Living with intention
Menopause as portal and rebirth
Collective wound and collective healing
Ancestral healing
The feeling of emerging from the trauma veil
Medicine spoons – and how a synchronistic discovery led to her next body of work
Creativity as healing and the magic that happens when we share our process
Creating experiential spaces
The feminine way as collaborative

Archetypes: witch, creatrix, wise woman archetype, The Cailleach, Hekate, Baba Yaga
