It was an absolute pleasure to chat with you! Thank you! ❤️🔥🫶
Thank you so much! What an interesting talk with so many aspects. I grew up in East Germany in near the Polish border. My family has ancestors from Lower Silesia. Also in the region I grew up in a lot of slavic folk tales and traditions are still told. My grandma always told me folk tales. It is beautiful to see that these traditions are still alive and I honestly did not know about this huge cultural diversity. I really agree and connect with the fact, that connecting with the land and the mythology of it is important and can bring many insights. Blessings to both of you.
This is a perfect video for my polish-german ancestors
Sending you both much love form Poznań ❤
I really appreciate the discussion of complex Silesian identity and history! My family is from a town in America that is entirely made up of families who immigrated together from Silesia, and the range of cultural identities among these people who all come from one village is so interesting. Imagine walking into a bar in Wisconsin, USA and hearing German, Polish, Silesian, and Carpatho-Rusyn 😂
I am a reconnecting Polish, Russian, Volga Germanic diaspora and thank you both so much for this
Thank you so much for this interview!
I learned a lot about my lower silesian roots, its so interesting!
This was so fascinating! I really loved Joanna's thoughts on "owning" land and the stories about the elder trees. So many beautiful moments in this, thanks to both of you for sharing!
Many thanks to you both for sharing this beautiful and fascinating conversation!! It expanded my mind and opened doors to additional fun and exciting research for me to discover. My ancestors are Polish and German, and I love learning about the legends and lore. Thank you!! 💛💛💛
This was a lovely conversation. Thank you.
✨️ Wow! This was interesting. My ancestors are Lemko and were from Zernica Wyzna Poland. And my grandmothers side was slovak from Perachyn, which is now ukraine. Ive been learning and incorporating the folk healer molfark/molfarka and whispers magic into my practice.
Great interview. I hadn't heard of the Polish Folk Witch before now :) Thank you for promoting other members of the magical community.
Absolutely fascinating
I could listen to you both go on for days on end. I was disappointed when the talk was done :) I learned a lot and I very much appreciate the sharing.
Thank you so much!
It was great to watch, so interesting! 😍
The moisture as the life force makes so much sense when we look at the myth of Aurora (Jutrzenka), the giver of dew, being captured by the Lord of Underworld and as a result a horrible draught coming to the land.
So your family is from Kłodzko area! Just recently I've been reading a legend about Kłodzko and it's supposed pagan female ruler, Valeska. Have you heard about it? If not, I could send some texts your way :)
Thank you! I already know about the story of Valeska and it's very fascinating!
Loved this. Thank you both so much
Fantastic interview. I love this
This was absolutely amazing and so interesting. To put my feet in the land my great grandmother loved, wow! I get emotional just thinking about it.
So interesting! Thank you both!
What you said about regional variations in folk magic at 13:50 really resonated with us. These are notable in Croatia too. Along the Adriatic coast, Italian influences are prevalent, while the North exhibits a blend of Hungarian elements. In the East, traditions align with eastern Slavic countries, and mountainous areas bear similarities to Turkish folklore, influenced by historical ties with the Ottoman rule and neighboring Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Would you be interested in discussing this further?

Thank you for sharing this interesting tidbit about Croatian folk magic!
However, I do think that having a full-blown discussion about regionality in magical practices in a comment section would gat a bit tiresome
That's not what we meant, haha. Definitely too long for the comments, not too long for a collab-style video though! 😉
Pagan faith is a belief in the forces of nature, where people of that time were more connected and had a greater sense of places of power. But true faith is elsewhere - listen to people who can travel astrally and it is not about traveling from place to place but about traveling to the spiritual sphere.
