Missing Witches: HP Blavatsky - Our Voice Is Raised For Spiritual Freedom
In this episode we sketch the life and impact of a woman who has been called the mother of modern spirituality and who was also one of the greatest explorers of the 1900s, though she’s rarely credited for it. She was a much maligned philosopher, activist, founder of a world religion that she never wanted to be a religion, just a means of investigating the wisdom of the gods - theosophy. She was one of the first westerners to convert to Buddhism, the first Russian to gain American citizenship, and the first western woman to make it into the sacred fortified himalayan nation of Tibet where she lived and studied for years. Probably.
She was certainly fiercely independent, a chain smoking, not quite vegetarian, possibly transgender queer, celibate philosopher medium, spectacular synthesizer of eastern and western philosophy, yes I’m talking about the deeply divisive and intentionally elusive Helena P Blavatsky, HPB to her friends.

Missing Witches: Marjorie Cameron - I Am That Dream Of Wings
This episode is about wild creation in the liminal spaces, and it’s about magical thinking and fate, and a remarkable artist witch who had to figure out who she was after the unthinkable atrocities of the second world war, and outside of a powerful man’s powerful idea about her destiny. A man who did the Babylon Working and believed she was the Fire Elemental he had summoned, and maybe in a way she was, but she was also and entirely her own self. Yes this episode is about Marjorie Cameron and Jack Parsons, and it’s about love and how we cope when we lose someone, and it’s about 1960s California and art and drugs and sex magic and becoming gods through art, and how the world changes.
