Author: Amber Magnolia Hill June 9, 2019 Duration: 1:39:34

Mariee Siou's music is medicine for the living and medicine for the dead, a direct portal both to and from the ancestors and the land spirits. In this interview she shares profound stories of hurt, healing, and visions gifted from the otherworld.

IN THE INTERVIEW:

  • Mariee never dreamed she'd be a musician & how that ended up happening
  • Mariee's connection with her indigenous Mexican and American maternal ancestors and her Hungarian and Polish paternal ancestors
  • Songs pouring through you and the magical process of bringing something into being
  • When the ancestors choose one person in their lineage to drop their stories into
  • Ethnic stereotypes and what people will say to your face
  • Mariee's work with the Nisenan, the native people of the lands she and I live on, and how growing up here she literally never knew there were remaining tribal members here
  • "I experienced so many spirits on the land that hadn't been grieved"
  • Some deep medicine stories- how this podcast has changed Mariee's life (so much interweaving serendipity, since her music opens and closes every episode)
  • How datura embedded into Mariee's consciousness and how that plant relationship touched her life, even before she'd ever worked with the plant physically
  • The amazing ancestral vision Mariee was gifted that supports the music and voice medicine she carries in this lifetime
  • The different ways that people who come from lineages with unmetabolized grief and trauma [all of us] carry that ancestral inheritance
  • How magic and the synchronicities start showing up once we commit to following our soul calling
  • A digression on the Aquarian archetype
