In the season 7 finale, Leandra and Elyse are joined by Fio Gede Parma to discuss their book 'The Witch Belongs to the World', and its major themes: what does it really mean to be a witch? 

We talk about what initiation really is, the pros and cons of following a particular lineage, and the ins and outs of Fio's tradition, the Wildwood Tradition from so-called Australia.

Fio Gede Parma (they/she) is a Balinese-Australian international teacher, magical mentor, and award-winning author. They were born in the island of Bali - to Roslyn and John - and descend from Balinese, Chinese, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and English peoples. Fio has lived in so-called Australia for most of her life, as north as Thul Garrie Waja/Gurrumbilbarra (Townsville) and as south as Naarm (Melbourne).
Fio was raised in an animistic, polytheistic, magic-affirming, spirit-knowing family - in a haunted house - whose traditions were largely impacted by what the west calls Balinese Hinduism. When forced to consider it, some Balinese name their ‘religion’ Agama Tirta, Religion of the Holy Water. Ganesha, Siwa (Shiva), Krishna, Parwati Uma, Durga, Hanuman, the Barong and Rangda, the spirits and the ancestors were all spoken of, venerated, and regarded with holy awe.
