Who I am

reBecoming an Earthling

D. Firth Griffith walks the dreams of his ancestors, stumbling often but attempting to be an honorable heir in a world on the edge. Today, he is Wingina, the past, present, and future land of the Monican People.

He is a father, horse-drawn woodwright, magikal storyteller, and award-winning indie author of five books on kincentric rewilding and eco-mythology. His latest book, The Plain of Pillars, is an epic novel and daring retelling of Celtic Mythology.

He is the co-founder of Timshel Wildland, a kincentric rewilding and relational conservation project in Virginia, raising cattle, goats, sheep, and wild children with our community. He is the Founder of The Robinia Group, once a Savory Institute Hub and now a center for kinship.

He is the host of Unshod, a weekly long-form conversation podcast, and writes regularly on Substack under the same name, Unshod. He has published articles, short stories, poems, and critical essays for Resilience.org, Permaculture Research Institute, Front Porch Republic, and the Stockman Grass Farmer, among others.

Daniel lives in Virginia with his wife and three children.
