Happy Halloween and Blessed Samhain, witches!

Marshall the Witch of Southern Light joins me again to talk about his new book The Red Mother for this Hallows bonus episode. We chat about writing the sophomore book, magical storytelling, and going deep on the lore of the characters he brought to life in Cunning Words.

We're taking a bit of a season break and we'll return on November 20th to kick off a whole new episode of WitchLit.

You can purchase both of Marshall's books from Amazon and Barnes and Noble or have your local witchy shop order them and suggest they carry them, too! You can follow Marshall on Instagram, TikTok, and Threads and list to Southern Bramble: A Podcast of Crooked Ways he co-hosts with Austin BanexBramble.

Please support Black, indigenous, queer, trans, and women-owned, local, independent bookstores and occult shops.

Marielle Thompson joined me to chat about how her love for Edinburgh and its history inspired her latest novel The Last Witch in Edinburgh, which covers ideas of identity, belonging, and the politics of witch trials, wrapped in a love letter to her former home. We also talk about the power of representation in books, witchcraft (of course), and weaving folklore into contemporary narratives.

Author Kate Freuler joins me to talk about her new book Magic at the Crossroads: The Devil in Modern Witchcraft. We discuss the intersection of witchcraft and the devil, the impact of cultural myths, and how writing can be therapeutic. We also go deep on the complexities of modern witchcraft, societal misconceptions, and cultural panics.

Magic at the Crossroads is available wherever you buy books or direct from Llewellyn. You can find out more about Kate's work at her website and by following her on Instagram.
