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.

I have the pleasure of being a yoga student of the author. Much like her classes, this book is an invite to go on a journey within yourself and use creative writing & art as a medium and develop personal spiritual practices based on Dulsky’s guidance. I anxiously awaited the turn of each page to see how I could be enlightened and led to creative work through my digging of my lost feminine along with that of the Worlds’. Dulsky accomplishes explanation, with out heavy finger-pointing blame, of the lost feminine in our society structures. She creates an invitation to mythwork and practices offering wiggle room to claim a name for yourself (or not, as she repeatedly states that you are unique). The Holy Wild takes you on a head-first deep dive into nature’s Holy Wild elements while revealing the secrets of yourself, to yourself, spreading out into the world and the Ether. Nature is our beacon home. Highly recommended! Let this provocative Creatrix entice you! My artwork in the above photos were led through Dulsky’s ‘The Holy Wild’.I very much utilized the highlighting & notes features of the Kindle Fire to copy & paste prompts in the mythwork. It was ideal for instantly capturing my thoughts as I read and helpful to return to and print out.

If you are women who can feel you true inner self just clawing at your bones and just want to let her out! Read this book… I’m going through a full transformation in life and just the feeling of uncertainty and just being plain out scared. I have always had this feeling of wanting to embrace who I truly feel I am but have always made it that my way was not right so kept her hiding. All I can say is just in the first chapter I felt myself accept that I was wrong all these years. Just buy the book it’s worth every penny and written so well!

I just received this book and haven't had time to read it. I am sure there will be a 5 star review after I get started as I love the energy of Danielle Dulsky and the chapter headings look very enticing. 4 stars was given due to the book being bent on the front cover (so much so that it has a heavy crease and could easily be torn off). I paid for a new book and got....well...a slightly worn book. I will give another review after I get into this luscious reading.

Ich wollte dieses Buch wirklich mögen. Den Rezensionen und der Leseprobe zufolge hätte es zumindest interessant sein müssen. Nach 30 Kindle-Seiten Geschwafel habe ich aufgegeben. Wer bereits seinen eigenen Instinkten in seiner spirituellen und magischen Praxis folgt, wird hier nichts finden, was einen großartig weiterbringt.

I’m reading this after “witch” and it seems really redundant like who wrote what first

Perfecto!

This book will awaken a part of your soul you didnt know needed awakening. It speaks directly TO you and fires up a passion for the beauty which is all around us. Im not even finished yet and im in love with this book.

It’s very nice, the rituals are really easy to follow and the stories she offers are great
