Magic, Meaning, Culture & Wonder
Your host, Jessica Mason, is a polyglot of pop culture and a polymath of witchcraft. She brings classical training and an abundance of lore (including 100 years of cinema) to her subjects. Start with Episode 1 for the background, and then listen to Episode 9: Frozen 2 ... you will hear her passion, humor, knowledge, AND singing voice.
From the Cailleach to Gale, Psyche to Hans Christian Andersen, Olaf to the Akashic records, it’s all right here!
So fun!
I love this podcast! Jessica has such great conversations with her guests about all of the best witchy movies and shows. I definitely recommend it!
Fun
