August 7th, MADISON — Welcome to the 112th edition of WLRN’s monthly handcrafted and collectively created podcast! This month features four Dianic Priestesses who speak with Thistle about the Red Tent they set up at the National Women’s Music Festival (NWMF) in Madison, WI, every year.

Harvest Brown is an ordained Dianic Priestess of the Red Tent. She and her Red Tent clan have set up and worked within the Red Tent space at NWMF for ten years.

Holin Blackmoon is a Dianic High Priestess and Land Witch. She has been reading the cards for over 50 years. She is happiest among plants and animals, especially her beloved hens.

Rain Foster is an ordained priestess, practicing in the Dianic tradition for 24 years. She is a member of the Red Tent clan in Madison, WI, offering sacred, women-born women-only spaces.

FireHawk is an ordained priestess of transformation and transition in the Dianic tradition. She has been a practitioner of Wicca for over 30 years and a steward of Mother Earth and her creatures, great and small since she was a small child.

Edition 112 artist’s statement:  I used images from the ‘Red Tent’, which was set up by the Red Tent Clan at the National Women’s Music Festival in Madison, Wisconsin.

Handmade dolls, red candles, and a painting of women showering offer a glimpse into what is included in the space recreating a sense of the sacred which women occupied literally and figuratively in various cultures. 

Here at WLRN, we lift up the reality and the heart of womanhood, and our connection to life and the universe.
