Episode 22 - #WitchNBitch: How White Witches Talk About Black Magick Jun 07, 2017

Show notes

Thanks for tuning in to The Fat Feminist Witch Podcast! Today I'm talking about how out-dated and racially insensitive some of the common language of witchcraft and paganism can be - especially when witches who are white talk about the magickal traditions of witches who are black. This is a special new kind of episode on the show called a #WitchNBitch episode - that means I scoured the internet (not really) for the wonderful opinions of smart witches who might be better equipped to talk about how some racist terms and language makes them feel. This is a topic I broached a whopping 3 TIMES on the blog, and you can check them out here: #WitchNBitch Topic: Plantation Magic Book Review of Shadows: The Witch's Guide to Wands by Gypsey Elaine Teague #WitchNBitch Responses: Plantation Magic I also talk about my new membership program which you can learn about at Patreon.com/thefatfeministwitch The Blog: http://thefatfeministwitch.wordpress.com Facebook: The Fat Feminist Witch Twitter: @fatfemnistwitch Instagram: FatFeministWitch Pinterest: FatFemnistWitch As always the opening and closing track is Back To The 90s (Douglas Mulvey AKA D-REX) / CC BY 4.0

Episode 20 - Interview with Lilith Dorsey Feb 21, 2017

Show notes

Thanks for tuning in to The Fat Feminist Witch Pdcast, the show that examines witchcraft and spirituality from a modern, activist lens. Today I'm talking with Lilith Dorsey, voodoo priestess and magickal consultant, about her new book Love Magic, which was published by Weiser Books last year.Lilith and I discuss common issues with love magic as well as some of the great things about it, a few of the requests she's had for love magic from clients, the music of love and magick, and how white practitioners and witches can approach African diaspora spiritualities with a little more reverence and respect.This book received a 5 crystal ball rating out of 5 for it's fun and totally non-judgemental tone, and the sheer volume of useful information. Even I, a celibate person, found tons of spells and recipes and potions that could help me out.

Episode 19 - Interview with Natalie Zaman Feb 01, 2017

Show notes

Thanks for tuning in to The Fat Feminist Podcast, today I'm doing my ranting, raving, and wand-waving with Natalie Zaman, author of Magical Destinations of the Northeast: Sacred Sites, Occult Oddities, and Magical Monuments! We talk about her book and how she chose some of the sites, her first experiences with magical destinations in her home state of New Jersey, being a responsible magical traveler, graveyard souvenirs, magical colouring books and not one, but TWO old episodes of the Simpsons. Even though I know you're a superfan and you already listened to my review of the book right here on the show (ahem), you should still head to the blog and read the Book Review of Shadows, so you can see why it earned it's 5 Crystal Ball rating. Check out some of the other books and artists mentioned in the show: Stories in Stone: The Complete Guide to Cemetery Symbolism by Douglas Keister Gravestone Artwear - for more info on grave rubbing The Simpsons episodes Mr Lisa Goes to Washington from Season 3 (1991) and El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer from Season 8 (1997). They're both excellent. Of course you should visit the author themself, Natalie Zaman, at nataliezaman.com, on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Goodreads.

Episode 17: Goodbye, 2016! Hello, Understanding! Jan 01, 2017

Show notes

Thank you for tuning in to this special New Year's Eve episode of The Fat Feminist Witch Podcast, the show where I do a little ranting, raving and wand-waving. Today I'm waving my wand in a disapproving tone at ableism in the metaphysical community, and 2016 in general. I talk about "chronic positivity" and it's negative impact on mental illness, and how the stigma of actually feeling anything less than positive is keeping sick people sicker. I also correct some of the mistakes I've made this year, and pledge to move into 2017 with more understanding. I also review the Coloring Book of Shadows, a magically minded coloring book y'all can use to practice mindfulness in 2017 and you can read the full review on the blog: here. The apps for meditation and mindfulness are all iPhone apps, sorry android users!, but you can find them here: Pacifica, which has a nice beach scene on the main screen, syncs with Apple Health, features free meditations and ones you can buy, and offers journaling, goal setting, and habit forming promps. Really pretty, and I love the "soundscapes". Zen has guided meditations, lots of cool sounds and asmr and stuff like that, it records your mood and also syncs with apple health. This one has a little less meditations for free, but it also have nice inspirational quotes and stuff. Wildflowers was my favourite during the one week trial of a premium version, as it has the BEST guided meditations. It also logs your heart rate and logs your mood. I loved the meditations, but the free version has way less and it neither sync with apple health. I don't talk about any of the celebrities who've died this year, because that sucks and I don't like it but RIP all you beautiful angels. it's all uphill from here, folks! 2017 awaits!
