Episode 21 Slippery Elm & Eucalyptus

Episode 27 La Santa Muerte & Death with Tomas Prower

After many months away from the microphone, I’ve returned with an interview with author Tomas Prower. I first heard of Tomas Prower’s work with the release of Queer Magic back in 2018. In this interview, we talk about his first book La Santa Muerte, his inclusion of so many contributors in his recent works, our feelings around death and death rituals, and get to know him as a person a little bit better. It’s always a good time chatting with him. Leave a comment on our Facebook @MagusBooks, or Soundcloud for suggestions for episodes or topics you’re looking to know more about.

Episode 26 Paganicon 2019 Jason Mankey Interview: Transformative Witchcraft & the Great Rite

As promised I’m back with another interview from Paganicon 2019. Jason Mankey was gracious in spending time with me in the make-shift studio. We spent a good 30 minutes talking about his new book Transformational Witchcraft, his work as a Wiccan Prist, and new and up-coming books and projects. He’s a very busy guy and very down to earth and very intelligent. We spend a good deal of time talking about the Great Rite as he was presenting on it that day, I was going to miss the workshop due to my own panel scheduled at the same time, and there is a long and important chapter in his newest book. I loved reading Transformational Witchcraft and highly recommend reading it yourself.

Episode 25 Paganicon 2019: Kelden & Traditional Witchcraft

I’m back after a long break, busy summer, and audio hardware failure. This interview with Kelden, author and traditional witch, was conducted at Paganicon 2019. It was a pleasure to take a minute to get away from the fun and chaos of the convention and talk about some fun witchy topics with Kelden, including his upcoming book The Crooked Path: An Introduction to Traditional Witchcraft. We also discussed his collaboration with artist Maggie Elram on The Traditional Witch’s Deck. I hope you find this fun and education. Look for Keldens book coming out in January of 2020.

Episode 24 Paganicon 2019: Laura Tempest Zarkoff

This is first of several interviews conducted at the 2019 Paganicon. This interview with Laura Tempest Zarkoff was done just before the first day of festivities after a long day of setting up. Both Laura and I were a little on the tired side of the day, but she was a great guest, and I’m always grateful to have her on the podcast. We talked about her newest book Leave the Liminal: A Living Modern Traditional Witchcraft as well as her up-coming oracle deck. Enjoy and please do pick up this and all her other books.
