In the show we get into the experience of being creative and how
close it is to magic. We discuss the nature of using your own
plants or materials in your practice and whether it makes a
difference of not. We get into the experience of ordeals and how
cultural artefacts can drive the currents of magic and witchcraft
forward.
In the plus show we get into how the separation in witchtraits
between Catholicism and Protestantism. We discuss trauma, pacts
