Tara talks about ancestral wounds, post-colonization, and the role of women throughout history, especially in Europe and Ireland. Given her expertise in history ancestry, she introduces us to the upcoming sacred festival of Samhain, which takes place during a time of the year when the realm of the spirits come into close contact with our physical realm. During this time, there’s a beautiful connection and crossing over that happens and the divide becomes mystical and full of opportunities to connect with ancestors, the spirits of the other world, and the gods and goddesses of old for those who honor these deities. It’s a deep time to do ancestral healing and a deep time to connect with the magic and medicine of being a woman which has been severed for a long time stemming from the history of the witch hunts in Europe where women were persecuted for their medicine, magic, wisdom, and connection to the earth. Tara dives deep into religion, the other world, ancestral healing, and how we can honor our ancestors.
