Empowerment tools abound, along with reframes, upgrades, solutions and propaganda breakdowns, plus a generous smattering of cultural criticism, sprinkled with deep-diving, edge-pushing, solutions-based conversations with original thinkers, visionary weirdos and rebel badasses making the world more wonderful.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-04T04:20:00.065179+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/word-up-with-dani-katz-5207570"},"episode":{"title":"Reclaiming the Holidays: The Oracle Deck, Solstice Rituals & Why We Need 13 Sacred Nights with Lara J.

Day , creator of the 13 Sacred Nights Oracle , to explore the ritual’s Steiner-influenced origins, the homemade deck that became a published offering, and the uncanny clarity that emerges when we track the 13 nights that bridge solstice and the new year. Dani + Lara dig into the real-deal roots of the holiday season — beneath the consumptive chaos — along with the expanded new edition, Lara’s courses and meditations, and the synchronicities that show up when we slow down enough to actually listen.
