What do you wish I asked this guest? What was your "quotable moment" from this episode?
Dr. Susan Harper, an anthropologist of religion and practicing witch in Iowa, shares her experiences with building magical communities and reclaiming personal power through witchcraft.
• Defining witchcraft as reclaiming a word historically used against women while embracing the power of "paying attention" to the world
• Evolving from formal rituals to a daily practice centered on tarot, moon observation, and gardening
• Seeing witchcraft as liberatory practice that helps heal personal wounds while working toward cultural change
• Using tarot as a primary magical tool for nearly 30 years, finding it provides insight and structure
• Creating accessible magic through library-hosted workshops, providing democratic access while ensuring fair compensation
• Building community through Unitarian Universalist connections, especially CUUPS (Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans) chapters
• Navigating witchcraft in the Midwest, finding surprising acceptance in seemingly conservative areas
• Sharing adventures from early practice, including getting lost in ritual robes in small-town Texas
• Announcing her new book "Feminist Witchcraft" launching July 1st, culminating seven years of writing
