In this cross-posted episode, creator of Witch Sweat⁠ Melissa Word and host Nico Wolf spin a yarn about the creative process and the gift of the wobble, the warp, the weft and the ways we weave with our realities.

They speak to the magic of hands, lost contexts of craft, and the necessity of the revival of recognizing the ways the Unseen world can inform the the gift of creative vision.

They also bring in threads from their upcoming collaboration Distaff Ways: A Threefold Alchemical Healing, Seership Training & Ritual Fiber Arts Exploration w/ the Wisdom of the Spinners & Weavers

This collaborative offering starts online at the end of August and culminates with a 6 day in person artist in residency in Santa Fe, NM. This work is open to all levels of experience and genders.
