42: Witch in Darkness, Shadow Work, and Spiritual Activism: A Conversation with Kelly-Ann Maddox

Listen Later

Welcome to The Violet Vulture!

In this episode, I’m joined by Kelly-Ann Maddox (she/her). Kelly-Ann is an award-winning professional cardslinger, spiritual counsellor, witchcraft mentor, best-selling author. She specialises in sovereign spirituality, chaos magick, shadow work and self-love.

In this episode, we'll get into the following and then some:

  • Rebel Witch, KAM’s first book and the impact it’s had on witches of all ages
  • We talk the overlap and differences in our experiences with Catholicism and how this bleeds into other identities
  • Community connection, upheaval, the small but tangible signs of gentrification and impending displacement, and nefarious magick
  • How collective action against systemic oppression is a moral imperative for all spiritual practitioners and advice on how to move from inaction to something that’s sustainable for you
  • What we tend to get wrong about shadow work culturally as it has become more of a buzzword in recent year, Emmy’s favorite shadow work experience and question, and the nuance of cancel culture vs. accountability
  • Witch in Darkness: Magick for Tough Times, Bad Days and Moments of Total Catastrophe, KAM’s upcoming second book, and the heart and life experience poured into making it what it is now

    • If you're ready for a conversation between two Sag Sun/Virgo Moon/Air Risings that’s radical, political, challenge, and full of heart, this one is for you.
