Introduction

In episode 119 of the Magick & Alchemy podcast, hosts Kristin Lisenby & Kate Belew interview Perdita Finn. Perdita is an author and the co-founder of the feral fellowship, The Way of the Rose. In this conversation, Perdita discusses connecting and honoring the unseen, trusting our intuition, imposter syndrome, and writing a book in collaboration with the dead. She speaks about the earth as an ancestor altar, the mothers and the grandmothers, and the draw of the Catskill Mountains. Perdita also introduces us to her new book, Take Back the Magic: Conversations with the Unseen World.
