Dee’s back!! Dee Mulrooney is an artist, activist, teacher and the oracle for Growler, the 82 year old drum banging shamanic vulva. Dee joins us to tell the story of her and Growler’s recent pilgrimage to visit the apotropaic icon that is Sheela Na Gig. We talk about why Sheela is coming into the collective consciousness now, what we think she has to say and how powerful her message is. Listen in for all of that and so much more!

If you haven’t seen any images of Sheela Na Gig, here she is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheela_na_gig

Savanna and SueEllen have the spring time sniffles and weren’t able to record for this week so we’re giving you an oldie but a goodie! Over the last couple months we’ve had multiple people reach out to say how this episode has been a balm for them and that it feels auspiciously of the times we’re currently in. So we’re rereleasing it in the hopes it helps you as well. Thanks for being here <3
