Welcome to the Solarium! Join hosts Chelle and Laylla in their enchanting herbal haven, brimming with aromatic teas, mystical smoking blends, beloved books, crystals, divination tools, and much more. In this episode, they delve into the realm of classic witchcraft literature, focusing on four influential books published before 1990. So, grab your coziest mug of tea, grab a joint or some calming incense, and step into The Solarium!
First off the witches brew a mug of tea from Black Cat Curiosity Shoppe, one of Chelle's favorite places to grab hand crafted tea blends in Salem. And they both roll up a little cannabis and a soothing blend of herbs to make sure their hangout sesh has a relaxing vibe.
Once the cares of the world melt away, Chelle opens up about Scott Cunningham's "Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs", and why its a publication she deems essential for every herb witch's collection. She explains why Laurie Cabot's "The Power of the Witch," is the one she always recommends to new witchlings and why she will always keep a copy in her library.
Meanwhile, Laylla revisits the magical archives with Margot Adler's "Drawing Down the Moon" and Starhawk's "The Spiral Dance." The duo discusses how these pioneering works have sculpted the landscape of modern witchcraft, noting that despite some initial shortcomings in research and cultural sensitivity, the authors have attempted to fix these problems with later editions. Despite the original issues, these books still contain valuable history and information that would benefit today's witches.
Laylla and Chelle are also excited to announce their participation in the upcoming Sacred Space Conference, where they'll be conducting workshops alongside esteemed figures in the witchcraft and pagan spheres. Discover the fantastic lineup of workshops and learn how to register at the Sacred Space Foundation.
We can't wait to share our thoughts on these magical reads and our upcoming adventures with you! Tune in for a blend of herbal enjoyment, literary discussion, and a sprinkle of excitement for the upcoming pagan festival season!
