I do realize the last of these was in February, but I had a book to finish on deadline and, well, there just hasn’t been time. I have realized after completing the second very heavily researched, nonfiction book that when I come off the work bender that these two...
Poet and anarchist mk zariel (it/its) joined me to talk about the magically queer classic The F*ggots & Their Friends Between Revoltions. A fairy tale for adults that still rings true, fortunately and unfortunately, in our own time. mk and I discuss the politics of...
A huge thank you to Tamsin Davis-Langley for jumping in to save me from a last minute scheduling disaster (of my own doing). It was an enormous pleasure to talk with her about Jake Stratton-Kent’s Geosophia. The two-volume work spans a breadth of thought and practice...
Previous guest, Lisa McSherry, joined me to talk about the pagan classic, Ted Andrew’s Animal Speak. Despite a million copies being sold and Ted Andrews being on the wall of fame at Llewellyn, I had never read it. We talked about Andrews’s book in context of writing,...
HiC Luttmers joined me this month to talk about Eternal Egypt by Richard J. Reidy, a Bay Area local and founder of the Temple of Ra in San Francisco. We don’t get around to talking about writing but we do cover quite about Reidy, Kemetic practice and its adoption to...

And maybe we’ll throw some food in there too, because I am still a kitchen witch at heart.
Steampunk romance author (and writing friend) Anne Renwick joined me to talk about Arthur Conan Doyle’s 1902 Sherlock Holmes novel, The Hound of the Baskervilles, how it relates to her work in progress, and what we did and didn’t remember about this book. We also...
Hello reader friends, It’s been a minute, but I’m not going to promise any regular pattern from here. Life is messy and the world is in chaos in so many heavy ways. And despite—or maybe because of my absence from big social media—I still exist and am trying to create...
Life has intervened, there will not be an episode of WitchLit Podcast this month. Join us next month as we read Hound of the Baskervilles with Anne Renwick.
Thumper Forge, author of the newly released The Chaos Apple, joined me to talk about this romp of a novel by Raymond Buckland, better known for his books on witchcraft and Wicca. We cover a lot of ground including representation of witchcraft, new-paganism, and other...
