What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Listening to Danica is like getting a hug from someone who’s taken you in like an older sister does, and that older sister happens to know really cool things about the folklore and history you’re seeking out (or didn’t even know you needed). But, she doesn’t lord her academic or practical prowess over anyone. Instead, she shares it lovingly, human to human. This podcast is a gem. Danica is a gem.

I have enjoyed all of your shows through the years… it got me through crafting my first quilt in the dark winter of 2020/21 and helped me become more in tune with the rhythms of nature and my ancient roots. I understand why episodes are infrequent - because they are masterpieces!! But today, I happened to need something to listen to while cleaning (it’s also my birthday) and I was so delighted to find a special Autumn episode in my apple podcast library 🙏🥰 the answer to my prayers for something mystical to imbibe on this beautiful Fall day! Thank you so much for your love of music, language, and ritual, and for sharing your research and perspective so thoughtfully with the world ❤️ I dream of singing with you someday, I’ll check out your courses!

FionaTristine · Sep 2024

Thank you for putting such care into each episode. I love learning what you share with us. So wonderful to hear music from all around the world and opening the door to some ancestral roots I have never gotten to explore or think about until now. I also admire your voice, & the style of your communication, and your singing voice! Blessed Be! ✨
