Danielle Dulsky shares her new book Bones & Honey: A Heathen Prayer Book. Heathen is another word for dweller of the hearth.

This devotional book is filled with prayers, stories, and poetry inspired by nature and paganism. It offers a way to heal from modernity using spiritual nourishment, spellwork, and eco-devotional language. You can read it slowly or all at once, and it’s perfect for anyone seeking daily spiritual inspiration.

In her book “Bones & Honey,” Danielle Dulsky delves into the growing trend of people embracing a slower, more mindful way of living that is rooted in sustainability and a deep connection with the Earth. Through the exploration of thirteen archetypes and their corresponding themes, such as the Mountain Mage (representing solitude), the Bone-Witch (symbolizing grief), the Heathen Queen (embodying empowerment), and the Shepherd (reflecting nurturing), Dulsky invites readers to embark on a journey towards the “third road”- a path that emerges from the tension between opposing forces. With its rich symbolism and insightful wisdom, “Bones & Honey” offers a guide to a more meaningful and fulfilling life that is in harmony with nature.

In the practice of Danielle, the use of “bones” and “honey” is quite common. Bones refer to the remains that are left after an initiation when everything else falls apart. They are associated with darkness, death, and dying. Honey, on the other hand, is a symbol of life’s sweetness, golden medicine, and a promise of renewal. In witchcraft, art, and life, it is essential to understand and embrace both aspects. We must acknowledge the transient nature of our existence and have the wisdom to appreciate and celebrate the beauty of our time on this planet.

Bones & Honey is arranged into the following thirteen books that are organized around specific archetypes and their themes:

Book of Stars: Prayers for Hope’s Troublemakers, Impossible Freaks, and Stubborn Visionaries
 Book of Wild Lovers: Prayers for Lust, Seduction, and Majestic Relatedness
 Book of the Bone-Witch: Prayers for Grievers, Death Walkers, and Shadow Kin
 Book of the Heathen Queen: Prayers for Empowerment, Sovereignty, and Truth Telling

Danielle believes in the power of the wild feminine and human-to-nature intimacy. She is the author of The Holy Wild: A Heathen Bible for the Untamed Woman and Woman Most Wild: Three Keys to Liberating the Witch Within. She translates the wild feminine into motherhood, magick, multimedia art, and teachings of embodied spirituality, writing, and movement alchemy. Danielle is a Celtic free-style Witch, a lover of Irish Paganism, an E-RYT500 and YACEP through Yoga Alliance, a mist-dweller, and a shadow-walker. May all beings come home to the wilds.
