Listen now (35 min) | In today’s episode Dina sits down at La Befana’s Table with Dr. Gina Miele, Professor of Italian, Literature & Folklore, former director of the Coccia Institute of the Italian American Experience and the creator of the Italian Mystics, Saints, & Visionaries Oracle Deck.
This episode is rich with meaning and material! My heart was lifted by the talk of everyday mystics - the elders and teenagers in our midst with much to teach us. I'm also reflecting on stories as the "link in the chain of humanity," how we must consider who is telling, who is receiving, but also how the story is shared. Is there a place for us in the story? What is being passed on and what is being left behind? Thank you, Dina, for the concept of "internal activism!"

What a meaningful, powerful conversation. Thank you ladies. And I can't wait for my card deck!
So excited for the deck! Woo hoo
Such a beautiful conversation! My favorite part (among so many others) is the reminder that there are mystics flipping burgers right now.
Grazie for your work and this project!
