AJ Langley speaks to Hannah Victoria Johnson about the thirteenth-century beguine and mystic Mechthild von Magdeburg. We talk about love, suffering, sex grass, and Mecththild's desire to be below the Devil's ass-crack, all while Hannah attempts to convince listeners that Mechthild is easy to understand. 

We also discuss our new "Envisioning Visions" project which aims to foster a fanart community around the visions of medieval mystics. For more information on the Envisioning Visions project, and to see the art that has been created so far, visit: https://envisioningvisions.wordpress.com
