Episode 97 - Diana Helmuth Living As A Witch For a Year and Beyond


Listen Later

Welcome to Weird Web Radio!

This episode features Diana Helmuth! Diana spent a year exploring Witchcraft and documented her journey for all of us to enjoy! This is exactly the kind of book I wish we had more of in Paganism and the Occult. Her story telling skills are excellent. I hope you enjoy the honesty she exhibits all along the way. The good, the bad, and the Hawk she wasn't sure about. Diana's relative newness to all of this allowed some exploration of doubt and skepticism too. 

DIANA'S BIO:

Diana Helmuth writes about our desires to be transported, our urge to reconnect with nature, and how to keep going when you feel like a fool. Her first book, How to Suffer Outside, won the National Outdoor Book Award for best instructional. Her second book, The Witching Year: A Memoir of Earnest Fumbling Through Modern Witchcraft was featured on NPR, reviewed in the New York Times and nominated for a Goodreads Choice Award for Best Memoir. Her freelance work can be found in various anthologies, travel guides, and humor magazines. She studied anthropology and Arabic at UC Berkeley, and can often be caught moonlighting in Silicon Valley’s start-up land, or producing the occasional podcast. She was born and raised in Northern California.
