Siri Vincent Plouff joins the podcast to talk about a favorite subject, runes. Their book, Queering the Runes, was just released in November 2024 and we talk about the book, dispel notions that runes are not for everyone (they are!), how they can relate from a queer perspective, and just about runes in general.
The book is an excellent way to introduce yourself to the runes with a fresh look at how they interact with people today. Or if you are used to working with runes, have a look at them with a new lens and see how they might teach something new or different.
Siri has been a practicing with for nearly 20 years and reading tarot and runes professionally for six. They host The Heathen's Journey podcast, teaches workshops, and is coauthor of Lessons from the Empress with Cassandra Snow.
Order Queering the Runes at your favorite bookshop, directly from Red Wheel/Weiser, or online book seller.

As October inches towards Samhain, Rick de Yampert joins me to talk about the magic of Crows and Ravens from his book: Crows and Ravens: Mystery, Myth, and Magic of Sacred Corvids.
Rick has been working with Crows and Ravens for a number of years along his path and has dedicated a lot of study to how corvids behave and how we can commune with them to enrich and enhance our connection to nature, magic, and the Web of Wyrd.
Do you have crows or ravens appearing in your path or daily routine? Do they visit your yard or bring gifts? Do you speak with them? Does their presence in your life help you with your magical practice? Rick's book provides some ways to connect with them and build a magical connection to them.
Have a listen as we discuss some of those topics and more.
Crows and Ravens is published by Llewellyn Books and available from Llewellyn, your favorite book seller, or online.
Check out Rick's projects and schedule at: https://rickdeyampert.com/ and see Mr. Crow and other artwork at Mister Crow Art.

"Welcome to the Nine Worlds, home of Gods, Valkyries, Dwarves, and more!" promises MacMillan Publishsers about the latest series by my guest; author and artist George O'Connor. George created the 12 volume series The Olympians and just released Thor in October 2024, the second book of his series The Asgardians.
The first volume of The Asgardians series, Odin, was released in March 2024.
We talk about his process for bringing the myths of these two popular pantheons as
illustrated storytelling. It was a fun and interesting discussion to hear about George's interest with the Norse stories and how they have been a part of his life for so long and still inspiring ways to be told. And it's always nice to get a behind the scenes scoop on how ideas come about, the creative process, and other bits of writing and drawing a graphic novel about such interesting characters and adventures.
Both series' can be ordered through your local book store. Find out more about George's works at MacMillan Publishers.
Follow George on Instagram at @thegeorgeoconnor and on his website for his upcoming webcomic and events.

Author Gunivortus Goos joins me to talk about the long awaited (by me especially) English translation of his book on Nehalennia. The book is avaialable in German, Dutch, and now English. The English title is: Nehalennia: Divine Lady of Prosperity, Trade and Safe Crossings. It is now available via Amazon throughout the world and in Europe on BoD Buchshop.
Nehalennia is a Dutch Goddess who was revered and honored in the area controlled by the Romans of the first - second centuries in what is now the southern west coast of the Netherlands. After that time, Nehalennia was lost to the oceans and time and evidence was literally fished up in the 17th century in the form of votive stones, revealing an acitive practice of honoring her.
Goos and I talk about Nehalennia, a bit about her origins, about the process of researching and bringing the information together for the book, and about bringing in into an English version.
The book has minor updates of new finds and information not in the German or Dutch editions. Goos has many other books available on a variety of Gods, Goddesses, and topics which you can find more about at his website Boudicca. There you can find books in German and Dutch as well as other essays. Many are available via Amazon or in Europe via BoD.
Goos has been on the podcast before to talk about his works: Mist Witches (episode 59) and Frau Holle and Germanic Magic (episode 41).
If you want to learn more of the history that we know of about this obscure Dutch Goddess who now has a devoted following, have a listen and order the book.

Life is pretty busy lately and it's made a bit of a challenge to book guests. So I took a couple books off the shelf that I've had for a while adn thought I'd have a little review/chat about them.
Loki and Sigyn: Lessons on Chaos, Laughter & Loyalty from the Norse Gods by Lea Svendsen. Llewellyn, February 2022. This captivating book takes you deep into the infamous legacy of Loki and the quiet power of Sigyn, the goddess of loyalty and compassion. As a controversial figure in Heathenry, Loki is often approached with trepidation. But this book introduces you to his true self: a trickster, but also a loving husband and creative problem-solver.
Elves, Witches, & Gods : Spinning Old heathen Magic in the Modern Day by 
Cat Heath, Llewellyn, 2021. Cat Heath has carefully pieced together and recreated Heathen magic techniques, and she shares the theories, skills, and tools you need to begin or deepen your own practice. This book provides explanations and hands-on techniques for galdr, seidr, fiber magic, herb craft, journeying, and going under the cloak.
Both books were received from the publisher for review. Comments reflect my own opinions.

“Do you like the wild beast-man Krampus? Do you like the giant Yule Cat of Iceland? The deep of midwinter invites you to settle down by the fire with a seasonal beverage and this darkly folky oracle deck.”
Then do we have an oracle deck for you! The Yultide Monsters Oracle by Madame Onca O'Leary.

Irisanya Moon joins me this episode to talk about her latest book in the Pagan Portals series from Moon Books - The Norns: Weavers of Fate and Magick.
We talk about the most well known of the Norns - Urd, Verdandi, and Skuld, and talk about how we can work with them to connect with the threads of our web of Wyrd.
There isn't much material out about working with the Norns, and this book is a great starting point for a beginner and also a great resource for those who are familiar with the Norns to help invigorate or take a fresh approach to working with them.
Get the book through your books store, from Moon Books (Collective Ink) , or from your preferred online seller.

Author Christine Ashworth joins the episode to talk about her upcoming book: Scott Cunningham, The Path Taken from Weiser Books. Cunningham's pioneering books on Wicca, herbs, magic, and other metaphysical topics opened the doors for many to step onto the path of Wicca and paganism.

With this book, Christine, his younger sister, pulls back the curtain a bit to show the loving family of the man behind the books that are still influenctial 30 years after his death.

Chris Allaun is back to talk about his latest release, The Black Book of Johnathan Knotbristle: A Devil's Parable and Guide for Witches from Crossed Crow Books.
We talk about Chris' process for writing the book and a bit about the journey of Johnathan Knotbristle who meets the Devil after a series of family tragedies. The book is about how he navigates the worlds of fairy, magic, and his community after meeting the mysterious stranger.
It's a fun and interesting book which will capture your interest and is one to have on your book shelf to share with the family and friends.
You can find Chris on Instagram, Facebook, and Youtube. Order this and other great books from Crossed Crow Books.

Joining me on this podcast is author Imelda Almqvist to talk about her latest book, North Sea Water In My Veins, the Pre-Christian Spirituality of the Low Countries. The book covers materials from the Low Countries which covers the areas for The Netherlands, Belgium, and the border regions with Germany. It's a wonderful book documenting the ancient gods, goddesses, practices, and traditions of the area and asks the question: Is there enough material to reconstruct a practice for today?
Tune in to find out the answer. This and Imelda's other books can be ordered from the publisher, Moon Books (or ask your books store to order a copy for you).
Follow Imelda on Instagram at: @almqvistimelda, her author page on Facebook , The Pregnant Hag Podcast, and learn about workshops and other offerings at her websites:
