Happy Feast of Saint Olga of Kyiv! There are a great many Saints that lend themselves to magic, to folk expressions, to sorcerous doublings and syncretic masques; and there are some saints whose stories are so bold they become storehouses of witch power and strength in the mere recounting- Olga of Kyiv is notoriously one such Saint!
Join us in this very special episode, where our sister in serpent-shed and good friend Katarina Pejovic and the Goat and the Good Doctor discuss the fantastic St. Olga of Kyiv, recognized in both the Catholic and Orthodox Churches; the demoness “mistress of sorceresses” and oftime mother of Asmodeus, Agrat bat Mahlat; the bark and bite of the fabled Dogwood tree; the bezoar pearl revered as the Toadstone; the power and practice of Naming; the geomantic figure of Rubeus; the Tarot Trump of the Star, and the complex mythological sorceress Medea as our Dead Magician.
