The Flowering Wand: Rewilding the Sacred Masculine | Sophie Strand
Why it is included:
The "Ecological Male." A flourishing civilization will not exist with toxic masculinity (dominance/extraction).
Strand offers a radical alternative: she re-reads the ancient myths (Dionysus, Merlin) to find a masculinity that is rooted, fungal, and regenerative.
Instead of the "Warrior" who conquers nature, she offers the "Magician" who collaborates with it.
It serves as the necessary counterpart to Estés, ensuring that our vision of leadership heals both the masculine and feminine energies within the leader.
