I had such a great time discussing my new book on Witchhassle Podcast. The abridged version is available on Soundcloud and the full 2 hour conversation (!!!) on Patreon.

Come join me this summer at the Salem Witchcraft and Folklore Festival! It is always an absolutely amazing time! This year I am talking about Katabasis - or traveling to Hades - as both a fact of magical practice and an essential method.

It was, as always, a pleasure to catch up with Devin on "This Podcast is a Ritual" to discuss how to speak with the dead and my new book from Hadean Press "Learning from Legendary Practitioners"!

Tangent, but I would also love to see more holy books. Not just books *about* witchcraft and the occult. Genuine holy books that have been channeled and consecrated. Folks often ask "where are the books for advanced practitioners?" Well, I think writing more holy books is the answer.

Unique to Sicily but very similar to fairies, doñas de fuera, the Ladies from Outside, are magical female spirits that dance in the wilds of Sicily. When the witch trials came to Sicily, they targeted those who consorted with the doñas. #FolkloreThursday 🖼️: H. Howard

Henry Howard's Fairies on the Seashore, showing Doñas de fuera dancing on a tropical, presumably Sicilian by his imagining, sea shore. Some of the women appear to levitate or are mid-leap, and the women all appear to be young and beautiful, dressed in semi-Roman robes though now all wear them fully. The moon sits behind a palm tree. Among them, a single man, satyr-like in appearance but with human legs, can be see, and a woman has dropped some part of her clothes.

“Learning from Legendary Practitioners: Medea” There are few spirits I have interacted with who have been as challenging, and at times down right terrifying, as Medea. Despite that, she had so very much to teach and has been an amazing mentor in many ways. Here is the class I gave on her.
