Receivemore bonus content and extended episodes, join the book club or the coven 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’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. https://deirdre-mulrooney.com/ www.Instagram.com/deemulrooney *Trigger warning re abuse and baby death, and Irish Mother and Baby homes – to skip this section around 15-22 mins* We talked about: The central theme of womanhood in her work and contemporary vulva-tastic culture!

Her visual world is an umber and madder-infused chapel of misfits and magicians, story-rich and alchemical. Her paintings, which feel both ancient and familiar at once, have been exhibited and published internationally. In 2018 she was a finalist in the 'Best Artist' category of the World Fantasy awards. Rima has a long-held fascination with the idea of the liminal - that which lies at the edge of culture and society as well as the literal boundaries between one place and another, both metaphorical and real - and with the power of art that comes from that place. Her work is a kind of “Iconography of the Otherworld”. She lives in the south of England.

| 34: Caroline Carey – She Did it Her Way | 13 mai 2025 | 00:53:48 | |
Caroline grew up in Birmingham and then the rural landscapes of Worcestershire, with a love for the wild, poetry and dance, passionate about creativity, mystery and myth. She moved to Ireland in 1992 for 17 years. Say Caroline: “Despite early challenges with trauma, self-doubt and unconventional learning styles, I discovered the power of creativity and a deep connection to the soul through dance, poetry and storytelling. This journey led me to understand the impact of trauma and the importance of finding new perspectives on my past experiences, which were laden with difficulties to overcome. From very early on I developed a conscious connection to the world of soul and my ability to see, to sense and to connect with my own soul-guidance. Mothering my six, now adult children gave me the art of play, creativity, story-telling and opened up the deep surrender and unconditional love that motherhood can bestow. Being a grandmother, has deepened and matured my skills to a sensitive wisdom with lots of humour.” A published writer of seven books, a speaker and Soul Retrieval guide facilitating workshops and gatherings, Caroline has created The Wheel Of Soul’s Return and The Polarity of Purpose as models for finding the meaning and contribution to each person’s story.

| 32: Jaine Rose - Starlight Vision | 15 avr. 2025 | 00:57:57 | |
Jaine Rose lives in the Cotswold town of Stroud, happily making art in her plant-filled and colourful studio in the corner her attic house. She’s had a pretty wild journey through art, parenthood, and the alchemy of women's circles and rituals. He work is an ongoing enquiry into women's spirituality which I see as the dynamic and ever-changing way that we reclaim our innate connection to a vast realm of magic. She works unapologetically with bold and vibrant colour, combining portraits, with flowers, magical creatures, trees and hills and other wonderful, often abstract details. Says Jaine, “I could talk endlessly about witchcraft, and our beautiful land that is worth fighting for. Or my insane love of cats, all animals, starry skies, lying in woodlands staring up at the trees, of all the things that fill me with wonder. Also all the things that have the power to move me, or even break my heart. So many stories, we all carry them. And so I ponder this as I travel relentlessly and obsessively between the oceans of the West, and the oceans of the East, magical places where witches be. My heart places.”

| 23: Clare Jasmine Beloved - Deep+Raw+Radical | 12 nov. 2024 | 01:10:17 | |
Clare Jasmine Beloved is an artist based in Liverpool, UK. She says:
“Creating is in my blood and has saved my life over and over – transforming feelings, emotions, life stories, wounds and blocks, dreams and ideas into beauty. My art is awash with large lush goddesses, magic mermaids, sensual sistas, and sacred imagery, symbolism and feelings.The process and the way that I paint and create is very intuitive. I work with many layers to explore my own mythology, using acrylics and mixed media.
My work is also translated into limited edition textile ranges in silks and velvet as well as a beautiful jewellery range.
I am passionate about words – my bed is always laden with books! My first poetry collection Love, Hope and High Heels was published in 2010. It was shortlisted for The Polari Book Prize for new gay and lesbian writing. I have since published poetry and art books and journals and am currently finishing a book about my love story with my late wife and navigating life after her death. Pre-order Somewhere Between Derelict and Divine: Magical Stories to Carry Us All Home…
I developed and curated a large-scale project based on my own way of creating with over 1000 women and girls, which was exhibited at The Tate in a ground-breaking exhibition. This was then taken into many settings and also developed into Big Love Sista, Big Love My Brother.
I am dedicated to creating a body of work in the world and spaces that are ethical, inclusive, diverse, real and down to earth and magical and deeply rooted in community.”
We talked about: Facilitating creativity in a range of different settings Creating safe and inclusive creative spaces Overcoming a legacy of creative repression Coming into her own creative power Art as therapeutic and alchemical On becoming an accidental wild woman The power of sharing our stories Magic and imagination as a way to survive childhood Seeing the magic in your own story The magic of the sea - selkies and mermaids Creating from and through grief

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.
