Her 5 international best-selling books have been published in 14 languages, making her the most widely published Wiccan author. Aas a lawyer, she has been an outspoken advocate in the courts and media securing the legal rights of Witches.Phyllis was named one of The Ten Gutsiest Women of the Year by Jane Magazine. She received the 2018 Service to Humanity Award from the One Spirit Interfaith Seminary and the 2020 Person of the Year Award from Kindred Spirit. Phyllis was the first Wiccan Trustee of the Parliament of the World’s Religions, and was elected Vice Chair of the 2015 Parliament, creating the Women’s Assembly. New York Magazine has called her teaching on Witchcraft the culture’s “next big idea” and Time Magazine has published her as one of America’s leading thinkers. Her You-Tube series on Wicca has almost 3 million views. Phyllis continues to write, teach, and lecture internationally on the embodied spiritual wisdom of Mother Earth, Nature’s “secret magic” and why the world needs its Witches.www,phylliscurott.comInstagram.com/phylliscurott"There's a wildness within us that yearns to be physical, sensual, animal, free. But fear of this unknown part, of where it might take us and who it might make us, has left us all only half alive." Phyllis Curott, The Witches Wisdom Tarot GuidebookWe started by talking about The Witches Wisdom Tarot that she created with Danielle Barlow. From there we move on to the wisdom of the body and following our instincts. The theme of murmurations comes back again and again...to do with birds, women and magic it is an incredible deep dive conversation weaving magic, books, art and ways of knowing, finding the courage to be out and seen in our creative magic. We also discuss:Awe, wonder and the power of the liminalComing back into the public eye after a period of retreatCalling women crazy as a way of shutting them downBreaking the spell of patriarchy."It starts with you...but very quickly you realize it's not about you, the world needs you.
