You'll learn that familiars aren't always animals, and in fact, historically, animals aren't the most common type of familiar. And the polar bear story Dodie shares from her time in the Great White North is one of Elyse's favorites we've ever had told here on the show! Dodie Graham McKay is a writer, green witch, and filmmaker. She is inspired to document and share stories that capture the beauty of nature and the visible and invisible realms of magic and witchcraft. She is the author of the books Earth Magic: The Elements of Witchcraft (Llewellyn, 2021), and A Witch’s Ally: Building a Magical Relationship with Animal Familiars & Companions (Llewellyn, 2024), and her documentary films include The WinniPagans, Starry Nights and the Fibe TV 4-part series Exploring the Sacred.

Send us a textAnd now for something completely different: Storytime! But first, we're getting cerebral. In this episode of the Magick Kitchen Podcast, Elyse and Leandra share their perspectives on decolonizing mythology. We discuss the truth about working with deities, and the reality of personal gnosis. We also discuss the importance of critical contexts for the classical portrayals of gods, the complexity of translation, and end the episode with some bardic storytelling of our favorite Sumerian myths about Inanna, and Tiamat. (ad music: A Robust Crew by Darren-Curtis | https://soundcloud.com/desperate-measurez Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US)🌙Struggling to find your rhythm on your spiritual and magickal path?
