In this episode, we are enchanted to engage with Maia Toll, a seeker of magic and award-winning author of the bestselling Wild Wisdom Series which has inspired readers worldwide to explore their human nature through the magical lens of the natural world.
- We discover a bookshelf in a willow tree
- We enter a world where land is sentient, and the stones have stories
- We learn that you can set magic in motion and magic... is everywhere
- Through the Lookingglass, we see that we are in control of how we perceive our surroundings
- Once we recognize that everything is alive, we start moving through the world differently
- We realize…why not choose to believe in magic? It is so much more fun & interesting
- We begin to believe that we are a thread in a much larger tapestry and ask ourselves,” what is the purpose of my thread in this weaving?”
- We surrender into Connection and find a doorway into Communion
- We shift the focus of knowing from our head to our heart
- In the natural realm, we realize there's something beyond our interpretation of all these things
- We learn that crafting a life takes a lifetime
Maia has created and conjured an award-winning collection which includes The Illustrated Herbiary, The Illustrated Bestiary, The Illustrated Crystallary, The Wild Wisdom Companion, oracle decks, puzzles and her latest endeavor, and The Night School, which explores the edges of the universe and the depths of the self, all through the lens of philosophy, divination, and astrology.
Maia is a 3-time Nautilus Award Winner. She also owns an herb shop called Herbiary, with locations in Asheville, Philadelphia, and online. She lives in Asheville, NC with her partner and two ridiculously spoiled dogs.
Maia's mantra is:
"Magic is everywhere.
To see it and the effects it has on your life, change the way you perceive the world.
To harness it, change the way you interact with the energies around you.
To know it, change the way you think.
To live it, remember the lessons of the Night as you go about your day."
