Weird Web Radio

Welcome to Weird Web Radio! This episode features a very special guest! A real interview with a Witch from the late 1900's! Thorn Mooney! Thorn and I cover everything from the Paranormal, her dissertation research, religions, mental health, Witchcraft, virtues, community, and plenty of spots where we make light of something for a laugh! Did I mention the late 1900's? We shared some stories of our early days and the challenges pre-internet Paganism presented. This was an excellent conversation with insight and fun alike!  Thorn has been an active voice in the wider world of Paganism and Witchcraft for a long time. Her approach to topics involves questions that dive deeper than your typical intro material and 101 books. In fact, Thorn wrote a book designed to get beyond the 101 topics. I highly recommend that one! It is The Witch's Path: Advancing Your Craft at Every Level. Thorn has also written a great book for anyone wishing to pursue or even understand Gardnerian Witchcraft from a real Priestess of the Tradition: Traditional Wicca: A Seeker's Guide Kindle Edition. She also got involved with the Llewellyn Sun Sign series with Ivo Dominguez co-writing Taurus Witch: Unlock the Magic of Your Sun Sign (The Witch's Sun Sign Series Book 2). And as we talk about in the show, Thorn has a new book coming out for the person in your life that isn't a Witch but you still want or need them to understand you. Go check out Witches Among Us: Understanding Contemporary Witchcraft and Wicca. Thorn's BIO: THORN MOONEY is a Wiccan writer and academic living in Raleigh. She holds master's degrees in both religious studies and English literature, and is completing her PhD in religion and culture at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She writes and lectures about magic, new religious movements, and American religions for a wide variety of audiences. Thorn's professional background as a classroom teacher and as a scholar allows her to represent contemporary witch, Pagan, and occult communities from both insider and outsider perspectives.

Two experienced tarot pros sharing what we love, what we do, and why we do it!

Welcome to Weird Web Radio! This episode features Diana Helmuth! Diana spent a year exploring Witchcraft and documented her journey for all of us to enjoy! This is exactly the kind of book I wish we had more of in Paganism and the Occult. Her story telling skills are excellent. I hope you enjoy the honesty she exhibits all along the way. The good, the bad, and the Hawk she wasn't sure about. Diana's relative newness to all of this allowed some exploration of doubt and skepticism too.  DIANA'S BIO: Diana Helmuth writes about our desires to be transported, our urge to reconnect with nature, and how to keep going when you feel like a fool. Her first book, How to Suffer Outside, won the National Outdoor Book Award for best instructional. Her second book, The Witching Year: A Memoir of Earnest Fumbling Through Modern Witchcraft was featured on NPR, reviewed in the New York Times and nominated for a Goodreads Choice Award for Best Memoir. Her freelance work can be found in various anthologies, travel guides, and humor magazines. She studied anthropology and Arabic at UC Berkeley, and can often be caught moonlighting in Silicon Valley’s start-up land, or producing the occasional podcast. She was born and raised in Northern California. Enjoy the show! Stay Weird! Want to know what DIANA and I Talk about in the bonus portion?!

Welcome to Weird Web Radio! Guess who's back! Back Again! AIDAN WACHTER is back! Tell your friends!  Aidan's back! Aidan's back! Aidan's back! Any fan of this show knows by now that Aidan Wachter is not only a common guest on here, but more importantly, Aidan is among those rare friends I count as found family. When he warned me a long while ago that he was going to disappear for a while, I didn't realize it would be total silence for a long time. I know why. It's all good. It was needed. We dig into that for a while in this episode. In fact, we go deep into several subjects which were in part inspired by questions from Patreon members and a special Facebook group built around a community that explores Aidan's published works. This was not only a fun episode. It was also very good conversation with a friend. It was one we decided it was time to hit record. Aidan stuck around for about another hour in the Patreon Bonus Audio portion! We took a real deep dive into devotion vs magic vs religion and more!  Aidan's BIO: Aidan Wachter has been actively involved in magical practice for a really long time. His work reflects a wide-ranging eclectic and non-dogmatic approach with influences from many paths. He writes with a focus on the practice of the craft as a learnable set of skills that can be developed rather than as an innate set of talents that must be inherited or granted to the seeker. He is the author of Six Ways: Approaches & Entries For Practical Magic, Weaving Fate: Hypersigils, Changing the Past, & Telling True Lies, and Changeling: A Book Of Qualities.
