Episode Description: Jessica B. Harris may have been born and raised in New York City, but she has Tennessee roots through her father and has spent much of her life split between homes in the Northeast and the South – specifically New Orleans. For more than fifty years, she has been a college professor, a writer, and a lecturer, and her many books have earned her a reputation as an authority on food of the African Diaspora, as well as a lifetime achievement award from the James Beard Foundation. A few years back, Netflix adapted her book, High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America , into a 4 part docuseries. And I’m very proud to say that she’s a longtime contributor to Southern Living with a regular column called The Welcome Table. This episode was recorded in the Southern Living Birmingham studios, and Sid and Jessica talked about her mother’s signature mac and cheese, the cast-iron skillet she’d be sure to save if ever her house were on fire, and her dear friend, the late New Orleans chef Leah Chase.

The Stillroom's Grimoire Podcast

In this episode, we delve into the shadowed mysteries of Algol , the so-called Demon Star — a fixed star long associated with power, danger, transformation, and taboo. Often feared and misunderstood, Algol sits at a potent intersection of myth, astrology, and magic. But what happens when we choose to work with its energy rather than fear it? Join the Head Witch as we explore: 🌑 The mythological roots of Algol — Medusa, the Gorgon, and divine rage ✨ Algol in astrology 🗝️ The "Gateway" concept — how Algol can be a portal for shadow integration and deep magical work 🔥 Ritual ideas and magical correspondences for tapping into Algol's transformative power This episode invites you to confront the untamed parts of your magic, reclaim the demonized divine feminine, and step boldly through the Algol Gateway. Trigger warning: We discuss themes of rage, suppression, and power reclamation.
