Wandering around books researching some of my favourite things. #folklore #witches #research #charms #paganscholar

Packing books this week feels a bit like wandering around on a journey. Picking up some books feels like meeting an old friend, the kind of friend you say “let’s get coffee someday, I’d love to catch up” and you mean it.

It was an honour to present at the Virtual Symposium of Pagan Thought and Practice. Every presenter offered thought provoking questions and strategies for surviving perilous times. I asked the question: how do we care for each other in community.

Perhaps belonging is alchemy. An ongoing speculation of self. A magical process of creation of one’s true self.

This reflection is from a presentation I gave at the @labrc.bsky.social Alchemy Conf. last year. Thinking about layers, reimagining words, reimagining worlds.
