We began last week with some feminine energy for Mother’s Day, so we felt it was appropriate to do an episode on some important feminine figures in the occult world, such as Pamela Coleman Smith and the dark Goddess Lilith (among others!)
We'll be discussing some of the history around the rise of spiritualism in America and the women that influenced it, including how photography impacted seances, as well as the background of the ouija board. Strap in folks!
