Martina Rutledge is multi-passionate writer, guide, digital course creator, and co-host of the Wandering Spirits of the Pacific Northwest podcast which she co-founded in 2023. She does a lot of different things, but they are all stitched together by the golden threads of creativity, story, curiosity about the world and its magick, and a deep desire to leave the world a little better than when she got here. . As a priestess and druidess, her work is deeply interwoven with earth-based spiritual practices and the cycles of the Wheel of the Year. She first became interested in the paranormal at a young age thanks to a grandmother with precognitive abilities. As she has grown older and adopted a pagan spiritual path, she has come to understand that everything is connected. We are all intuitive and constantly getting signs and messages from beyond ordinary reality…if we choose to stop, tune in, and listen. As a lifelong learner and spiritual seeker, she has completed initiations into multiple spiritual and priestess traditions and certifications in coaching, hypnotherapy, and integrative healing arts. She also a Reiki Master and holds a Master of Arts in German Literature with an emphasis in fairy tale, folklore, and narrative authority.
