Merry Meet beautiful witchy people. In this moving episode of the Witchcast Lucy speaks with Ngarigo Buhlung artist Sal Lavallee about their precious bond with the Elders, their Yuin ancestry, the spirits of the land, and Country. Sal is an activist, an artist, a healer, meditation teacher and a Witch who has walked the very edges between life and death. Throughout this beautiful, heart-opening interview Sal shares deeply of the power and magick of that connection to Country and to Language. Their deep listening to the spirit people, insights into ritual on land and how to go about this with respect, and how their witchcraft, magick, ancestry and art all interweave with and nourish each other is an inspiration.

I want to acknowledge that Sal’s grandmother, Rae Solomon-Stewart, passed away after this interview was recorded. Sal’s beloved Nan is spoken of throughout the interview. It is with deepest respect that the passing of this Elder is felt and recognised. 

Please note that people who are passed are spoken of in this interview.

Interwoven throughout are gorgeous songs by:

S.J.Tucker - Outlast

Miiesha - Caged Bird

Elaine Silver - By the Earth
