Meet Your Guide -Tonja
I am a tender of hearths. The hearth of my homes in Kinvara Ireland and Denver Colorado. The hearth of community, of the Earth, of the Cailleach, who guides my way on. I tend to the hearth of my ancestor’s, the nameless ones who through the mists of time have created herbal remedies, as do I. I tend to the hearth of the wise woman, the bean feasa, the hag, the crone, the witch, those who ever seek, as do I, to live outside of dominant culture with values of sovereignty, simplicity and participation. I tend to the hearth of storytelling, sharing the myths of my heritage through lived experience and story, keeping them vibrant and relevant and ever new.
I am a student and teacher of herbal remedies and of the Irish Wisdom Tradition, as I have been for over 20 years. My legacy to these learnings includes my Way of Brighid Oracle Cards, honoring Irish goddess and saint Brighid, my book Wild Irish Roots: A Seasonal Guidebook of Herbs, Ritual and Connection. My latest culmination project, released November 2022, is The Way of the Wild, An Oracle Experience into the Irish Wisdom Tradition.
My teachers and my lineage, from this side of the veil and the other, include Gina McGarry, Rosemary Gladstar, Mara Freeman, WB Yeats and Lady Augusta Gregory and teachers from the Rocky Mountain Center of Botanical Studies where I graduated from in 2000. I walk the ways of the Druid, the priestess, the witch and the herbalist.
The places that nourish my spirit include the wild edges: deep forests, holy wells, cliffsides, seashores, hedgerows and the Beara Peninsula. I dedicate my work to Sacred Warrioresses Brighid of Kildare, Maeve, Goddess of Sovereignty, Sheela na gig, the Morrigan and the Cailleach.
Thank you for finding the spiraling paths to my hearth. May your journey be blessed.
