Ancestral Eyes E21 w/ Dr. Patricia Robin Woodruff, Lemko Bosorka!



Dr. Patricia “Robin” Woodruff is a polymath, author, artist and Priestess of Stone Circle Wicca (USA).  She is known in Pagan circles as Robin and in Slavic lands as Paraska.  Her Lemko heritage from the remote Carpathian mountains started her on a path of intense study of Slavic magic, resulting in her becoming a spirit-initiated Lemko Bosorka (a sort of shamanic witch.)  Woodruff has been immersed for four years writing the Roots of Slavic Magic series, while also obtaining her Ph.D. Having read over 4,000 sources on the subject, Woodruff can provide new insights into this ancient religion based on recent archeological discoveries, newly-revealed rituals, word origins and analysis of petroglyphs.  Woodruff has found her work aligning with the work of Marija Gimbutas in her cross-cultural studies of Old Europe.  



The Roots of Slavic Magic series will be starting with a large scholarly tome on the Goddesses and Gods of the Slavs, but because of the size of the work, it will take a bit longer to be released.  In the meantime, Woodruff has recently released an easily understandable “shorter" version, Woodruff’s Guide to the Slavic Deities.  Coming in at 300 pages along with illustrations, it will still give you a thorough understanding of the various titles of Slavic Deities free from the taint of White Supremacy and nationalistic agendas.  If you’ve never heard of Perun, Veles, Mokosh or Zhiva, this is the best place to start.  And if you think you know about them, be prepared for a whole new world of understanding to open before you!  https://www.amazon.com/Patricia-Robin-Woodruff/e/B077J3L12K?fbclid=IwAR37y3JKJDzUccSolw3uhPARvvOgu9dbINAcCzJtSuDyq-GOFqGi8Aag6AE
