This week, I am joined again by friend, Jay Gravatte of That Kentucky Witch. We tackled some common questions such as "What do 'traditions' mean in the context of Wicca?" "What's the deal with the Gods?" and "What is initiation?"

Answering questions submitted by you! I'm happy to be back with you this week! I appreciate your patience with me! This week I'm tackling some listeners' questions, some of which I will make full length episodes on specifically!

This week I took some of your questions from email and from Instagram! I had a fun time discussing how to "Come Out" as a witch, men in the craft, thoughts about prayer, and the nature of divinity. To send your thoughts, comments, and questions to me, you can follow me on Instagram at @magick_and_the_moon or you can send me an email at [email protected] .

This week I had the privilege of having a chat with John Highland, a Wiccan high priest in the Gardnerian Tradition. We talked about traditional, initiatory Wicca, tips for beginners in the Craft, and some suggestions for working in covens. 

Here are some links to resources that John and I recommend for beginners:

- Thorn Mooney's book, Traditional Wicca: A Seekers Guide https://www.amazon.com/Traditional-Wicca-Seekers-Thorn-Mooney/dp/0738753599

- The Gardnerian Tradition's Facebook page for seekers https://www.facebook.com/groups/gardnerianseekers/

- The Alexandrian Tradition's Facebook page for seekers https://www.facebook.com/groups/278933458939644/

This will the be the eighth and final instalment of our deity series, at least for the time being. I've thoroughly enjoyed the series and sincerely hope you all have enjoyed it as well, but I am excited to get more so on topic with things more directly related to Craft. Thank you all for being apart of the journey!

This mini-episode continues our deity series with Artemis/Diana! I'll also be discussing feminist witchcraft traditions such Dianic Craft. TW: Not all feminist traditions are welcoming to trans or gender non-conforming individuals. Magick and the Moon affirms ALL members of the LGBTQ+ community, including our trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming siblings!

The Goddess of Love and her complicated history

So, maybe I should have just made a one hour episode on Demeter and Persephone together, but hindsight is 20/20! Enjoy!

This week, I'm giving a spotlight to Demeter! She is often overlooked, but has one of the oldest and most complicated mythologies of all the Greek gods!
