On episode 24 of the Magick and Alchemy Podcast, hosts Kristin Lisenby and Kate Belew discuss music’s role in ritual. They talk about ‘music memory,’ shamanic drumming, and why music affects the body and brain. They speak about music as a healing modality, a language of spirituality, and consider how using our voice is a powerful form of magick.Created by Tamed Wild.Production by KT Herr.Music by Follow the Wind,Taizo Audio.Sources:The History of Lapland by John Scheffer, Oxford 1674Pentikäinen, J.
