Natural Conversations about Textiles and Witchcraft
As a fiber artist for the last 15 years, and the last couple years I have been investigating the intersection of textiles and magic. This podcast is a relaxed and genuine approach to engaging with these ideas. Mame has the ability to make their guests comfortable to explore the different facets of their practice, and hooks in history tidbits to flesh out the conversation. I highly recommend this podcast to those who are interested in exploring more into the liminal space between threads. I can’t wait to keep following along to see how far the rabbit hole goes!
Spooktacular!
Anything and everything MAME, I am here for 💚
Looking Forward to More
As a fellow witch and fiber artist it’s so nice to hear someone talking about this. I’ve been following Mame on IG for years so it’s also nice to learn more about where she came from and have so many things resonate with my experience.
