Happy Halloween my witchy friends!

In this year's halloween special I'm talking about real and fictional books bound in human skin, and the origins of grimoires and other historical spell books.

Megan Rosenbloom, the author of Dark Archives, is also a death-positive activist and one of the founders of the Order of the Good Death, which seeks to make death a little easier on those of us who will have to face it some day. They have a ton of resources and books on death around the world, in different cultures, and throughout history. https://www.orderofthegooddeath.com/ If you want to learn more about the anthropodermic books covered in Dark Archives visit https://anthropodermicbooks.org. Finally, I highly recommend reading Dark Archives, which you can get from Amazon.ca or Amazon.com!

HELLO AGAIN MY WITCHY FRIENDS!

It's the summer solstice and I am so pleased to celebrate that with episode 100 of The Fat Feminist Witch Podcast, which is (hopefully) back for good! In this episode a share a difficult experience I had last month, re-introduce myself and share a bit about who I am, talk about the magic of Honeysuckle and Lemon Jade, and tell you all how happy I am to be alive! Unfortunately, this episode has to come with a trigger warning for mentions of attempted suicide and drug overdose, so please keep yourself safe and also don't judge me for the tears haha!

After 7 amazing, wonderful, magical years ranting, raving, and wand-waving as The Fat Feminist Witch, I have decided to hang up my pointed hat and shift my focus toward my health and independence. In my final episode I talk about what the show, and all of you, have meant to me over the years. I cry a little bit, just a heads up. 

Thank you for listening, sharing, commenting, supporting, blurbing, writing, laughing, and connecting with me. I hope that we find ourselves on the same witchy path again in the future.

I have been compiling episodes into themed playlists on Spotify and you can find them all, along with playlists I made for specific episodes and witchy purposes, at the following link.

I hope you all have a Happy New Year's eve, and year, and a fabulous and magical future. I love you!

Hello again witches, seekers, and friends - and thank you for tuning in to The Fat Feminist Witch Podcast! This is technically my Halloween episode, but for many reasons I had to put it off and put it out on November 11th, which happens to be the podcast's birthday! Yay!

In this episode I wax poetic about the most infamous, scary, and charismatic figure in all of halloween lore-- the Devil. Why does the devil intrigue us, how does he get to us, and what is his place in modern witchcraft and society? I also talk about one of my favourite musicians of all time, Robert Johnson, and those of you who listen via spotify can tune in this weekend for the B-SIDE to this episode that features some of his music.

Hello again witches, seekers, and friends - and thank you for tuning in to The Fat Feminist Witch Podcast for my annual Very Fat Feminist Halloween Special! 

Every year at Halloween we examine some of the stories, tropes, and stereotypes that have contributed to the image of the Halloween Witch, the ways we celebrate her and the holiday, and how that image impacts real modern witches. This year we're not talking specifically about witches, but about magical practitioners whose legends and religious beliefs have contributed to our favourite Halloween Horrors. Though most modern zombie movies fit well into the science fiction genre, at one time they were filled with evil magic performed by "Voodoo witch doctors". Before that, the story and name of the zombi and of raising the dead was a real practice in Haitian Vodou. 

Lilith Dorsey, author of Voodoo and African Traditional Religion joins me to talk about zombis and zombies, the vodou origins, their hollywood present, and a possible future where the genre can embrace it's magical roots. 

Visit Voodoo Universe, Lilith's Patheos blog and her website lilithdorsey.com to learn more about her!
