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. His books are still in print and are a beloved starting point for many who seek to enter a practical magical life. Scott passed in 1993 and not much is known about the man behind the many books. 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. Order the book now from your local bookstore or online seller. The book is due in early September, 2023.

Bela Siol is back with another beautiful deck to share honoring the witches of Triora, Italy, with her new oracel deck - The Witches of Triora. The witches of this area are akin to the Seeresses of the Germanic north and others who practiced the craft. Bela has created other beautiful decks including the Oracle of Nehalennia, the Oracle of Freya, and the Transformational Oracle of the Morrighan. Bela talks about her passion for creating this deck as an honor and love project to the women who were accused of, tortured, and murdered as witches during inquisition. She also goes into her visits to Triora and how those visits inspired the creation of the deck and the ancestors who whispered to her and others. Support Bela and back the deck at https://bit.ly/3e0UMEk until October 31, 2022. Check out Bela's other offerings at www.belasiol.com and the episodes she has joined me to talk about them.

After a hiatus, the podcast is back and with me this episode is author Gunivortus Goos to talk about his book The Secrets of the Mist Witches (Witte Wieven). The book presents the underlying customs and folk knowledge, including many folk tales from past centuries, about the fog creatures mainly from the German-Dutch border area. In the book the dialect term "Witte Wieven" in this (or similar spellings) is often used for these supernatural mist women, who often have their dwellings in small hills or waters. They are also known in German as "Nebelhexen." We talk a little about these mist-erious beings, but leave the mist-ery for you to find in the book (and stories) itself. You can order the book in German or English from Goos' website, Boudicca's Bard. And while you are there, check out his other books (German, Dutch, and English). Goos and I talked about his books Goddess Holle and Germanic Magic in episode 41.
