This episode is about wild creation in the liminal spaces, and it’s about magical thinking and fate, and a remarkable artist witch who had to figure out who she was after the unthinkable atrocities of the second world war, and outside of a powerful man’s powerful idea about her destiny. A man who did the Babylon Working and believed she was the Fire Elemental he had summoned, and maybe in a way she was, but she was also and entirely her own self. Yes this episode is about Marjorie Cameron and Jack Parsons, and it’s about love and how we cope when we lose someone, and it’s about 1960s California and art and drugs and sex magic and becoming gods through art, and how the world changes.
About Missing Witches
Amy Torok and Risa Dickens produce the Missing Witches Podcast. We do
every aspect from research to recording, it is a DIY labour of love and
craft. Missing Witches is entirely member-supported, and getting to know
the members of our Coven has been the most fun, electrifying,
unexpectedly radical part of the project.
These days the Missing Witches Coven gathers in our private, online
coven circle to offer each other collaborative courses in ritual,
weaving, divination, and more; we organize writing groups and witchy
book clubs; and we gather on the Full and New Moon from all over the
world.
Our coven includes solitary practitioners, community leaders, techno
pagans, crones, baby witches, neuroqueers, and folks who hug trees and
have just been looking for their people.
Our coven is trans-inclusive, anti-racist, feminist, pro-science,
anti-ableist, and full of love.
If that sounds like your people, come find out more. Please know that
we've been missing YOU.
