About this ebook

An open invitation to find your own narrative and discover the wild daughter within you.

There is a “wild daughter” inside us all, and the old stories are her greatest medicine. A folktale told centuries ago holds the power to gift us great comfort—to liberate us from the modern story we are living in isolation and allow us to be witnessed. In The Book of Wild Daughters, you will find original healing maps, blueprints that outline patterns of initiation, death, and rebirth. Each chapter holds “night lore for the femme untamed,” stories that mirror the darkness of the feminine experience—renewal, shapeshifting, and wholeness reflected across cultures like antique mirrors.

The Book of Wild Daughters invites you to consider the “story behind all stories” and to locate yourself within the feminine initiation myth: severance, liminality, and renewal. Through the “lore of the wild daughter,” you are invited to consider not only where you are now in this story but also where you have been and where you might be headed.

The book explores hungry women, wolves on the road, stolen skins, devil’s bargains, guardian spirits, hidden helpers, trees with faces, the grief sea, the dance at the threshold, healing in the borderlands, wedding the beast, and the original map woven from fate, destiny, and emergence. Follow the three stages of the initiation journey:

  • Dusk of the Wild Daughter outlines, mirrors, and honors the severance from the ordinary, the first crossing of the threshold away from the familiar and toward the transformation.
  • Midnight of the Wild Daughter is haunted by guardian spirits, hidden helpers, glimmering girls, and wailing women, while seeking to find the healing house amid the rough lands.
  • Dawn of the Wild Daughter is where the initiated woman finds herself inside stories of renewal, emerging with wings spread wide and ready for what comes.

Find your path to transformation, loss, rebirth, and becoming in The Book of Wild Daughters.
