Ron Padrón of White Rose Witching https://www.whiterosewitching.com/about joins Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata to talk about organizing inclusive magical spaces and communities, and what to keep in mind when you’re getting people together to do magical work. Ron shares some perspectives about practicing magic as a member of the Latinx community, as well as about animal folk saints (like the black dog on the cover art). Luxa muses about the resent phenomena of protest frogs and shares thoughts about The Green Mushroom Hyphosigil Project.
