In this week's episode, we discuss Robert Eggers 2015 historical horror The VVitch! Starring Anya Taylor Joy (The Queen's Gambit), The VVitch follows a Puritan family who encounter forces of evil in the woods after being banished from their New England farm.
Joining Isabelle & I is our very own guest witch, Sophia Somerville. Sophia is a Sydney-based writer, tarot reader, and the creator behind Southern Spells: an online space for creative people to explore the occult. She reads and teaches tarot through the lenses of pop culture, mental health, and mysticism, and leads a weekly writing group.
It was such a joy to have a chat with Sophia. You can follow her work at southernspells.com and @southernspells
