A different variety of Emotional Utilitarian, Lally MacBeth of Stone Club and the Folk Archive lives a life resolutely wed to the world of objects.

Lally brings in three things from her life to discuss with Tom. A horse brass from her collection, a hag stone for casting spells, and a scrying mirror. For scrying. You can see all three objects while you listen here.
