Episode 67: In this episode, I speak with author SophieStrand about her new memoir, exploring the complex relationship between her body and the world. We get into her experience of releasing such a personal book, her concerns about pathologizing and commodifying illness, and her reflections on diagnosis and the power of narrative. We also discuss her upbringing in a spiritually diverse environment, her fascination with religious history, particularly the life of Jesus, and her thoughts on syncretism.

Episode 65: With Meredith Graves! Meredith shares her personal journey into witchcraft, her upbringing in a non-religious household, and her interactions with various religious communities. We delve into the cultural role of witches and Meredith discusses her upcoming presentation at the Salem Witchcraft and Folklore Festival, examining the concept of the 'Good Witch' and the implications of magic as a state-controlled entity.

Other topics include the spiritual significance of knitting, the philosophy of magic, and how cultural and historical contexts shape the understanding and practice of witchcraft.
