Episode 146: Patti Wigington is back! We are celebrating her new book Herb Magic as well as getting a sneak peek at her upcoming book Badass Ancestors, out in September 2020. Since Patti has spent most of her career as a Pagan advice columnist, we thought it would be a fun opportunity to throw a number of listener-submitted questions at her and test her witchy advice-giving capabilities on the spot!   A special thanks to all those whose questions we used - Peter, Emilia, Alexandra, Renee, Teresa, Joe, Nicole, Amelia, Polly, and Angela - and a big thanks to everyone else who submitted, but we ran out of time! Perhaps we can get Patti back on in the fall for another Q&A!   Find out more about Patti at her website.       Patreon supporters heard this show first!

Episode 145 is an open conversation among Black activists and spiritual leaders regarding recent protests, police brutality, whether watching The Help solves racism, what it means to be a good ally, and specifically how white authors, teachers, and publishers in Paganism assist in the erasure of Black Pagan voices.    My sincere gratitude to the 7 people who stepped forward and were willing to speak on this matter. It was an act of emotional labor and courage, and I hope the community at large will listen, get uncomfortable, and grow.    For more from the contributors to this episode, please find their information below:   Phoenix Coffin-Williams Find him on Facebook or email rev.phoenix1@gmail.com.   Cat Thagard Catandmonkeyevents@gmail.com  Niagara witches and pagans group on FB  Cat and Monkey Events on FB Tiffany Newson Instagram: SankofaNewsonAcademy Lilith Dorsey voodoouniverse@yahoo.com LilithDorsey.com Rebeca Spirit Find her on Facebook as Rebeca Spirit or Instagram @
