Book Review: "The Lore of Scotland: A Guide to Scottish Legends"
Thankyou 💗that was cool
Thankyou for joining in on the chat! Be sure to check out Fio's re-release of thier book Ecstatic Witchcraft!
@@BenStimpsonAuthor it's definitely on my horizon!
What a great interview! I love her too. Great questions Ben. Thank you.
Byron is fabulous, we don't speak often enough, something I'm going to need to change! Thankyou for stopping by
EXCELLENT review! I’m planning to record my own review of this delightful Baba Yaga book soon, and I am going to recommend viewers to your video! I’m impressed with the research and knowledge you share, and I can’t wait to go listen to your interview with Madame Pamita. Well done, sir! New subscriber here. 😊
it was a fabulous interview, I only got to interact with madame Pamita through that interview but was struck by how much work had gone into this. I hope she releases more Ukrainian specific books in the future, so good. Thankyou for the sub!
This is a fantastic interview. It resonated deeply. You gained a follower! I have loved Jake Richards for years. Thank you for the information on other authors as well. I am excited to add them to my library.
Thankyou so much for your kind words, I hope you enjoy the other interviews. I'm hoping to get the podcast started back up, I took a hiatus to write a few more books myself so do stay tuned. Jake was a wonderful guest to have on and I loved what we ended up talking about on here
Excellent discussion. Thank you for interviewing him!
LOL
??
Enjoying Standing not Falling atm. Nice to hear a fellow Aussie talk about these things
Do check out my interview with Dorian Manticore (Melbourne) and Fio (Everywhere) as well, both of whom are very much aligned with Lee's approach!
@@BenStimpsonAuthor Thanks Ben.
I love this interview with Amy!! ❤
What a great interview. I really enjoyed it, especially the stuff around training and group ritual. 🙂
This was such an amazing interview. I'm really enjoying Conjuring Dirt (I'm about half way through), so this has come out at just the right time for me to fully appreciate everything Taren was saying here. Also, thank you @HouseofWitchcraft for your amazing comments about my book. ☺
awwww Craig, thankyou for listening!!!
The candy artwork Lee refers to is by Felix Gonzalez-Torres. Which piece it is specifically is hard to identify, as there are several related works (all about deaths from AIDS) that are often only distinguished by the color of the candy or its wrapper. He is one of my favorite artists, though, and I recommend checking out his work.
Thankyou for that further context!
Absolutely love your podcast style channel! When I'm at work I plug in my ear phones and listen. My work is for the most part repetitive data entry and your voice is so soothing too, very interesting guests as well.
thankyou so much for your kind words, it's always nice to hear how our chats are taken up by listeners. I have many more interesting chats to come, stay tuned! and thankyou for joining us!
Hello again Ben! Another great interview. I am enjoying your chats with Authors and Practitioners very much. I remember in my childhood, my wonderful Great Aunt would read to me during summer days, when I stayed with her. She loved to read from a huge book of Grimm's Tales, and I sat in awe of the stories.
Thankyou for joining us John! I also loved the Grimm's tales!
❤I love Jake’s interviews! I love ❤️ his Conjure Cards! He’s also a wonderful Appalachia medicine man story teller. He’s probably gonna be the last of his kind. He is so genuine and a old soul.
I really enjoyed my chat with him! Luckily, Appalacian folk magic is on the resurgence and there are many many conjureman and cunningfolk practicing down there, I highly recommend Cory Hutcheson's New World Witchery
@@BenStimpsonAuthor That is so fantastic to hear! I didn’t know there were that many! I will definitely find that author.
Many of the other guests I have on my podcast are revitilizing North American folk magic, it's a very exciting thing. Do check out my interview with Brandon Weston who is an Ozarker, and Matthew Venus who co-organizes a conference every year of modern folkloric practitioners @@dawn670
I came to this video searching to see Matthew Venus because I am contemplating taking a class of his. I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation between Ben and Matthew. Ben asked some really interesting questions, and Matthew was a very refreshing breath of spirituality on many topics. Watching this video has definitely made me decide to take Matthew's class! Thank you Ben for hosting a fantastic and thought provoking show!
Thankyou so much John, I'm pleased our discussion had an impact in you deciding to take a class with Matthew... they're pretty excellent in my opinion, and so I hope you enjoy the class! I strive to have decent and gritty conversations with my guests and I think we succeeded here. Matthew is hosting again with Jacqui of the Couldron Black the spring online Agora, many of my other guests will also be presenting, I hope you'll consider joining us for that virtual weekend? Thankyou again for your comments!
Thank you Ben. I also subscribed to your channel. I can see your dedication to lively, educational, and relevant content. That is rare these days on social media. ❤
This was a great interview. I have all of Nicholas Pearson's books on stones, he's by far my favorite author on this topic. This was so much fun!
This was a great interview. You always ask the questions I am thinking as I am listening. As a queer witch, it's so comforting to see queer practitioners. I appreciate you and your work. Thank you.
Thankyou so much Windpanther, we have so many queer practitioners in this field that we need to spotlight! Thankyou for joining us along for the ride :)
Also, wait! I just realized you’re the author of Ancestral Whispers. I have a copy on my shelf. I haven’t started on it yet but I can’t wait to dive into it!
I hope you enjoy it, if you do please consider doing a review on amazon or goodreads, it helps the algorithm! Have a great rest of the weekend Mark
This is the first video of yours I’ve ever seen and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I adore Devin and his work so this was a real treat. Thank you for having him on! You have a new subscriber!
Thankyou! I'm pleased you enjoyed our chat, he's a doll isn't he. I have some more fabulous guests coming up, and do check us out on Spotify where the audio versions are located. The new seasons starts on Tuesday!
wonderful guest and amazing perspective she shared...but this "gay devil" agenda being pushed by the host is stuck in an adolescent mindset. There is enough of the "gay evil scapegoat" in film and media, for goodness sake, don't add to it. Wise and well queer ancestors find it thoroughly repugnant. What did you really learn in your Ancestral Healing?
Best wishes for your reading in 2024.
Great interview!
Jhenah Telyndru #JhenahTelyndru
I took so many notes on this one. Thank you both. The bit about being willing to explore your edges while uncomfortable is standing out for me.
I do enjoy listening to Mat getting interviewed and understanding him on a deeper level. This interview is very thought provoking and filled with great insights into witchcraft. He is a very knowledgeable, down to earth person that I could listen to all day. So glad I stumbled across your vlogs Ben. Blessings to you from Australia
Isn't he just lovely? Please do check out my conversations with other colleagues in the Pagansphere... I'm having a few authors from Australia coming on soon including Lee Morgan, Fio Gede Parma and Dorian Manticore of Melbourne. Keep an eye out here or on my spotify :) Thankyou for joining Mat and I!
I love Mat's books, and this was such an interesting interview, thank you both very much <3
I have BOTH books. I'm learning so much! It's so true... you can be a "clair" yet fumble the ball when it comes to spellwork. Learning to meditate is my issue. Reading about his childhood was BEAUTIFUL how magic seemed to come to him as a child in profound need. The books are down to earth and they feed you in a way of getting a 10 course meal yet wanting more.
Found you both on the Ancestral Magic Summit!!
I hope you enjoyed the summit! I'm pleased you came and listened to our chat!
Great podcast, Ben. We chatted on the FB group Catholic Folk Magic. I did find some commonalities with Lyndon and my own experience and current practice. Looking forward to watching more your podcasts!
Love her
Thank you very much for having me on! I had a great time hanging out with you.
I feel the same way about Harry Potter, Storm. No book has been as influential to me as that one and the amount of wisdom is unmatched. I consider the text sacred, but It's very disappointing that Rowling is a transphobe and I feel betrayed.
I am from Czech Republic and I was looking for some book that would tell me about witchcraft in our Slavic countries and I can tell,that a lot of things I saw as a kid or we learned at school about our folklore traditions are written in this book. It is very good book and I would recommend it to anybody who wants to know about slavic witchcraft as this is true telling. Baba Yaga is well known in our country and some things that are talked about in book we did at home or our grandmas were doing and had no idea that it is basically magic. Good book, well written, like the story of Vasylyna.
really curious if you ended up picking this up and what you thought of it!?
Yes but for me it's all the negative energy in my work environment 😑
Thank you for this important review. I'm purchasing this book, even if it must travel to the other side of the globe.
Gracias Simón, Espero que lo disfrutes tanto como yo. Gracias por ver
Most of my oils and candles come from the dollar tree
