Video Podcast is Back On!!!

After being dormant since April, the podcast is back in action! Stay tuned for my next interview, this time with one of my favorite YouTube influencers. With Halloween just around the corner, you won’t want to miss this. FYI- all podcasts are not live, for now. I record and edit them prior to posting.

As an educator, I taught Arthur Miller’s play “The Crucible” to my students around Halloween, and also brought in different outside resources such as the backstory of witches in America, the infamous “witch hunts” and McCarthyism. Another story that was a great resource was Katherine Howe’s “The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane”, which then lead me to understand what a physick book really was. The author herself is a descendant of Elizabeth Howe and Elizabeth Proctor, two of the accused “witches” of Salem. The study of witches didn’t end there.

This YouTuber, known as Forest & Fawn (the former Lipstick Legion Craft) is a practicing “art” witch who focuses on spirituality, creating, and recently, motherhood. I started watching her channel because she created a homemade grimoire, which was aesthetically beautiful. Some of her earlier videos were about junk journaling, and I have her to thank for introducing me to the designer Tim Holtz. Instead of the religious trinity of the father, the son, and holy ghost, it was mother, maiden, and crone. I became fascinated with the studies of pagan goddesses and their seasons, witchery types, spiritual intentions, the power of nature, the Witches Moon subscription boxes, and most of all- her Dollar-ween craft tutorials and knowledge of the different herbs and crystals used for spiritual healing that’s been used for centuries. More questions to follow.
