Southern Fried Witch

E126: CAMOUFLAGE AND THE SOUTHERN WITCH: A CHAT WITH JOHN BECKETT


Listen Later

Many weeks ago now, I saw an article on Patheos called "Remembering the Witch in Witchcraft" that really took off on social media. John Beckett, a Druid Priest and author in our community, jumped into the conversation and wrote a response blog to that original article (linked in the episode notes) and, well, I was still in a quandary about it all.

And so, I asked him onto the podcast. I respect John and wanted to think this out with him, especially as a Witch from the Deep South (John also has Southern roots). He was more than open to that and the resulting wonderful conversation gave me quite a bit of fodder to think through for the future. It was a chat worth having! Thank you, John.

Sometimes, camouflage is a necessary part of of the Craft. But, as John points out: there are risks in shrouding ourselves for too long, too deeply. Join us on the porch as we navigate these murky waters.

(My apologies that this wasn’t released in time for Lughnasagh. John and I recorded this before that holiday, and life on a farm does get out of hand. Still, good stuff for next year!)
