Happy Halloween to all of our WLRN listeners! This podcast is full of witch magic as the team at WLRN explores the witches of old and new. Hear world news as written and delivered by April Neault after a haunting greeting by WLRN's resident female separatist, Sekhmet SheOwl. Following the world news, hear an interview Sekhmet did with Max Dashu, founder of Suppressed Histories Archives. Dashu speaks about the witches of old and puts into context the current state of witch resistance and culture today. Then stay tuned for Thistle's interview with Ruth Barrett at the Mycelium Mysteries Women's Retreat in Almond WI this past month. Ruth talks about who the witches are and what their practice is in today's world. To finish off October's podcast, hear Thistle deliver her commentary about her life as a witch both as a child and adult. The music in the background swirls with Thistle's voice singing a Sonia Johnson chant at the end. You won't want to miss this special commentary for the Season.
