Episode 105: The Book Coven

In episode 105 of the Magick & Alchemy podcast, hosts Kate Belew and Kristin Lisenby team up with Caitlyn Barone to host a virtual book club. From nostalgic reads to their favorite, well-loved tomes, in this conversation, three witches share the books that have been most influential throughout their magickal journeys. They discuss books about plant witchery, out-of-body experiences, and dark goddesses like Hecate and Persephone. They discuss tales for the wild women, astrological reads, and the books that delivered ‘aha!’ moments.
