How can we shift the focus of tarot to community and justice centered action in the world? What would that look like?

Frater Aaron from the Storybook: Sacred Lore of Witchcraft podcast joined me to talk about pulp, adventure fiction classic Cleopatra by H. Rider Haggard of King Solomon's Mines fame. It is an artifact of its time, drawing on all the genre tropes while also exploring magic in unexpected ways.

Heron Michelle’s book Elemental Witchcraft offers a deep dive into a rich practice based on Western Esotericism and Hermetic philosophy. The book, like our conversation, covers origin stories, awe, and why we do the things we do in magic, and in life.

Brandon and I chatted about the overlap in folk traditions, bringing folk practice into the 21st century while also keeping in practical, and the importance of keeping knowledge alive even if we don’t need it right now.

Storm Faerywolf is a very busy man. With two books out in 2022, multiple online events, an online store, a new podcast … so glad we got to wedge a chat in there to talk about the importance of naming yourself, making writing your living and the fun and not so fun parts of that, and lots of other maybe non-writing things. And of course we talked about sex.

Special Episode - A Very Cryptid Christmas panel

Content note: We’re an explicit rated podcast but just in case you listen with littles or at work or something, this episode is pretty much writing about sex with monsters. Enjoy! Maybe with headphones.

Season 3 will start officially next week, with an interview with Storm Faerywolf.

In the interim here’s a special episode with 6 writer friends about our new anthology coming out October 18 with Moon Tan Press. D.S. Dane, Su Fertall, Gemma Snow, E.C. Spaur, Lulu M, Sylvian (previous guest) and Wednesday Wheeler joined me to talk about why we wrote stories about hot cryptic romance for Christmas/Solstice. D.B. Sieders (upcoming guest) couldn’t join us but she got some words in from her family vacation.

Yes, this episode is basically an ad but I was also honored to work with this group of writers, two of which have their debut romance stories published in this anthology, and I think you’ll enjoy meeting them and finding out a little bit about why we all chose the cryptids we did in order to spread some hot holiday cheer.

In the book you’ll encounter a host of cryptids (and mythical creatures) with romance and/or hookups for everyone.
You can preorder the ebook on multiple platforms.
Print books will be available later this year (2022).

Here’s what happens when you put two GenX witches on a podcast with no rules … old MTV jokes aside, talking both writing shop and podcast shop with Madame Pamita was a treat. Baba Yaga’s Book of Magic was a labor or love and devotion which included learning a new language and alphabet.

Baba Yaga’s Book of Magic and all of her other titles are available anywhere books are sold.
