About Kin of the Fiàin Danú

​

Kin of the Fiàin Danú was birthed from a devotion to rewilded relationship, a sacred remembering of our kinship with the natural world.
A dreaming back to the Great Mother, to other-than-human kin, and to our own original, untamed selves.

Rooted in the old ways, animism, ritualism, totemism, ancestral flame-keeping, nature spirituality and earth-honouring traditions, this work is a living prayer.
It honours rewinding and reweaving: seasonal rhythms, rites of passage, initiation, and creating the sacred in the everyday.

​

What if we unearthed the unbroken thread of our own heartbeat?

What if we aligned again to the pulse of the Great Mother
to the grandmothers of earth who once sang creation into soil and stone,
whose heartbeats still echo in our bones and blood?

Who are your kin?
Who or what dreamed you into being?

About Renée

Renée McCready is a plant wisdom mystic, animist herbalist, and devotional storyteller. A green witch, ritualist, forest tender, and ceremonialist, she lives immersed in the forested highlands of Western Victoria, tending both land and lineage.

​

Her work as an earth doula, bioregionalist, and wildcrafter is deeply shaped by the plants who grow around her and the spirits who speak through them. From this kinship, she creates seasonal botanical medicines as part of her apothecary, Wild Kin.

​

Renée's background includes plant-based culinary arts, speech and drama, yoga teaching, shiatsu, oriental medicine, remedial therapy, embodiment work, and national accreditation in training and assessment. These diverse threads inform her work in ceremonial space-holding, mentorship, and earth wisdom education.

​

A lifelong student of the Green Witch lineage and the path of Druidry, Renée walks the ancient tracks of folk herbalism and animist ritual with deep reverence. She is first and foremost an apprentice to the plants themselves, learning through dream, presence, and lived relationship. Her practice is rooted in the listening places, where land, lineage, and spirit converge, and where the wisdom of the old ways continues to speak through leaf, root, bone and season.

Land & Lineage Acknowledgement

Renée honours the ancestors of her matriarchal and patriarchal Celtic and Nordic heritage — the children of Danú, the Tuatha Dé Danann, the Sídhe, the Aos Sí, and the healing goddesses Airmid and Eir. 

​

She gives thanks to the land of her first breath — Queenstown, Tāhuna, Whakatipu Waimāori, Te Wai Pounamu, Aotearoa (New Zealand), and honours Papatūānuku, the Earth Mother, in the tongue of Te Reo Māori.

​

She now lives and works on the unceded lands of the Waddawurrung and Djaara peoples of the Kulin Nation — traditional custodians of the Djandak. She offers deep respect to their Elders past, present, and emerging, and to the dreaming stories that still live in the landscape.
