The Midwitch

Anita Katherinewww.themidwitch.com
The Midwitch Podcast, hosted by Anita, is a virtual portal to the ancient practice of women gathering in circle.

It is a platform for the reclamation, reparation and resurgence of Birth, through the centering of Women, Nature and Spirit.

The Midwitch Podcast is a space for conscious women to listen and remember, as they take a seat in the circle of wise women sharing their medicine stories.

The intention of this space is to invoke a woman's remembering and reconnection to her own inner wisdom, power and knowledge - by awakening her to the new, yet ancient, paradigm of Spirituality and Birth.

Ritualising Disconnection of Mother and Baby with Veda

In this powerful and synchronistic conversation, Veda joins me to explore what it truly means to birth, and Mother, from a place of spiritual sovereignty.

Rite Remembering Part 1 - The Solo Series

In every traditional initiation, the threshold is faced in solitude. So if birth is supposed to be a rite of passage… Within 'modern' birth circles, we’ve been told that birth is a rite of passage - and women reclaim birth when we honour this. Books have been written about it! But what was also suggested, was a midwife stands at the threshold—guardian-ing the rite. Here’s the problem: A true rite of passage does not have a guardian. A rite of passage requires the initiate to walk alone. That is ...
