Episode Summary (notes & sources below):

In this episode I talk to about a term that is typically taboo out there in the Muggle world. Occultism. But is it really all dark and ceremonial and moody? Or are there other facets too? In this solo episode I discuss my views on the subject. We dive into the ties between witchcraft and occultism... are all witches actually occultists too? We define terms like "supernatural" and how that definition informs our practice.

In this episode I talk with Fire Lyte, host of the Inciting a Riot Podcast and author of forthcoming book "The Dabbler's Guide to Witchcraft". We chat about what magic really is, along with its natural limitations and the often confusing Hollywood portrayals. We also dive into questioning origins of practice. Where do correspondences come from? How do we practice once we strip away all of our movie-like magical ideals and strict bookish rules for what magic should look like? You may want to sit with a nice drink, cause this is a long one!
