Perdita Finn is the co-founder, with her husband Clark Strand, of the non-denominational international fellowship The Way of the Rose, which inspired their book The Way of the Rose: The Radical Path of the Divine Feminine Hidden in the Rosary. In addition to extensive study with Zen masters, priests, rabbis, shamans, and healers, she apprenticed with the psychic Susan Saxman, with whom she wrote The Reluctant Psychic. Finn now teaches popular workshops on "Mothers of Magic", in which she helps students explore how to draw on our Ancestral Mothers for help and healing--of ourselves and our planet. She is the author of Take Back the Magic (Running Press, 2023), and lives with her family in the moss-filled shadows of the Catskill Mountains.
