Truth, AI, and the Wild: The World of Raven’s Daughter

In this very special episode of Lucid Cafe, I celebrate the long-awaited release of my new book, Raven’s Daughter: The Story Keeper. After years of dreaming, writing, and behind-the-scenes work, publication day is finally here.Joining me is my brilliant and hilarious friend Claire Wheeler, who helps me unpack the story, themes, and inspiration behind the book. This is the first time I’m speaking about Raven’s Daughter out loud in any real depth, so it’s part book talk, part soul share — with a few meandering moments along the way.We explore some of the book’s deeper currents, including our complicated relationship with deception, the influence of artificial intelligence, and our growing disconnection from the natural world. Though it’s a work of fiction, Raven’s Daughter offers an imaginative lens for reflecting on the challenges of our time.In this conversation, Claire and Wendy discuss:The inspiration for Raven's DaughterDeceptionHow do you know what's true?Terror management theoryThe three realities described in the bookThe story's shamanic influenceFor more information about Raven's Daughter or to purchase a copy, visit Three Worlds Press Listen to some absurd and unhelpful nonsense Inside the Box with Claire and Wendy podcastBECOME YOUR OWN SHAMAN Introductory Online Course Visit Wendy’s website to learn more about the the Harmonic Egg®  Lucid Cafe episodes by topic  Listen to Lucid Cafe on YouTube  ★ Support this podcast ★
