Author talk with Matthew Ash McKernan Wyrdcraft: Healing Self & Nature Through the Mysteries of Fates

Description

Weaving ancient Northern European paganism, mysticism, magic, and his background as a transpersonal psychotherapist, Matthew Ash McKernan introduces you to wyrd, a mysterious web of being that connects everything. Wyrd encompasses all organisms, ecosystems, matter, phenomena, purposes, and possibilities. It is fate, destiny, nature, soul, magic, and the goddess intertwined.

In Wyrdcraft, McKernan guides you through a process of attuning to wyrd as it manifests within all the domains of your life, teaching you how to sense and intuit the ways of wyrd more clearly than ever before. Join Ash at the Jesup Library for an experiential inquiry into the nature of wyrd, the process of wyrdcraft, and the cultivation of wyrd consciousness—an awareness that is naturally revealing, healing, transformative, and becoming. Becoming what, you may ask? You will see as you attune to the wisdom of wyrd and experience the emergence of wyrd's natural healing magic first-hand.

Matthew Ash McKiernan (he/him) is a licensed psychotherapist, eco therapist, bard, naturalist, and wireworker. He has degrees in anthropology and counseling psychology and loves to spend time at the crossroads where psyche, nature, magic, and healing intersect. Ash lives in Mount Desert, Maine.
