Author Chris Allaun joins me in this episode to discuss his book The Black Book of Johnathan Knotbristle: A Devil’s Parable and Guide for Witches. Chris discusses the value of teaching through story, learning by listening to nature, merging ecstatic and traditional folkloric witchcraft, the power of imagination, and Mother Goose as a book of magical spells.
The Elements with Deborah Lipp

Aisling: Visions of Ireland
Aisling is the Irish for dream or vision, and it may take the form of a vision poem. The genre was developed as a part of the wider Irish language poetry field at the end of the 17th century, going into the 18th. More broadly, aisling is a vision which is said to connect the seer strongly with the landscape and identity of Ireland and its sacred sites.
