Publisher's summary

This provocative audiobook invites you to create your own spiritual path based on often-suppressed ancient principles and contemporary practices. Using the elements (earth, water, fire, air, ether) rather than traditional patriarchal hierarchies, this "holy book" is designed to connect each individual to their universal - but often denied - powers.

Wild woman Danielle Dulsky takes you deep as she explores and embraces sacred feminine archetypes such as the mother goddess, the crone, and the maiden. Join her as she guides you to envision and explore a world that enriches and supports your spirit, body, and mind as well as our global community and the earth.

Critic reviews

"With conviction, defiance, and a broad, inclusive definition of womanhood, Dulsky...calls on women to reconnect with their wild, instinctual feminine power in this poetic yet practical guide of heathen rituals and observances." (Publishers Weekly)

Poetic Archetypal Download

I really enjoyed the connection of the elements and archetypes with the storyteller feel.

I consider myself an Animist and seek spiritual meaning in things around me rather than in specific deities. I appreciated the Divine Feminine emphasis and how it relates to me as an artist and creator.

I’m looking forward to doing the rituals and seeing what unfolds from my journey.

No words

I am not a cunning enough word witch to verbalize my thoughts, feelings nor emotions after listening to this for the second time. Danielle is a true gift and her ability to twist and bring to life what she speaks is remarkable and leaves me yearning for more! 💕

Loved this!!

I pre-ordered this, then cancelled it deciding I wanted a physical copy. My job, however, has a large focus in production, and I'm always busy, so I don't have a lot of chances to read. I kept coming back to this and eventually bought it. I'm so glad I did!! Danielle has a soft, warm, and powerful voice when reading this that pulled me in and instilled me with the feeling of power described throughout this book. I am so happy I got to experience this ebook alongside the physical copy!

A Must Read for all the wild souls!

does your every fiber tell you that the "rules" forged by others are not the path your feet were meant to be on? Do you know there is more to your instincts than you're allowing yourself to follow? This amazing book will help you set yourself firmly on your path.

The Clarissa Pinkola Estes of Witchcraft

When I first began reading The Holy Wild: A Heathen Bible for the Untamed Woman I quickly became enamored with it. Danielle Dulsky's words are beautifully poetic and strikingly powerful. The book has a feel reminiscent of the work of Clarissa Pinkola Estés (who is one of my favorite Jungian authors) but from the perspective and insight of a modern witch. While written for a female audience, I feel every witch regardless of gender can benefit from the wisdom within these pages. Dulsky guides the reader through poetry, storytelling, rituals, prayers, and spells to uncover and reawaken one's connection with the divine feminine and find it within themselves.

The book is divided into sections based on the four primordial elements that compose reality from an esoteric point of view - Earth, Air, Fire, and Water along with the quintessence of Ether that runs through and unites all elements. As such, Dulsky shares her cosmological view of this divine reality that we're living within and seemingly uses each element to help the reader re-compose themselves into a holy heathen where battle scars and shadows are as sacred as the brightest light within us. As a witch author, the book is written as a radical battle roar for self-love and feminist empowerment to make magick of one's own life; a call for authenticity instead of approval; self-sovereignty instead of obedience; deep connection instead of repression and rejection. If that isn't the heart witchcraft, I'm not sure what is. After reading this book, I'm definitely checking out her previous book Woman Most Wild: Three Keys to Liberating the Witch Within.
