In this week’s episode, psychetherapist and author Matthew Ash McKernan joins me to discuss his book Wyrdcraft: Healing Self and Nature Through the Mysteries of the Fates. Ash explores the answer to the question “what is wyrd?” and discusses tricksters, unverified personal gnosis,  the wild and the wyrd, the importance of remembering our wholeness, and the necessity of feeding our inner fire.

Nick Mather, Ph.D.

Greetings! I'm Dr. Nick Mather, host of Rebel Spirit Radio. I have been studying philosophy and religion for over 25 years. I have a B.A. in Philosophy, an M.A. in Religious Studies, and Ph.D. in Philosophy and Religion. Before starting on this journey, I worked as a writer for a small family-owned newspaper in a little mountain town in the foothills of Pike's Peak. I decided to create Rebel Spirit Radio so I could utilize my background in journalism and breadth of knowledge in the world's wisdom traditions to bring you credible information and engaging conversations with writers, artists, educators, and spiritual leaders to help nurture your rebel spirit.

Nick Mather, Ph.D.
