Italian Folk Magic on Bespoken Bones!

It's All Souls' Day, and almost the full moon, and I'm proud to be the latest guest on my new favorite podcast, Bespoken Bones: Ancestors at the Crossroads of Sex, Magick and Science! 

In this interview, host Pavini Moray and I talk about the role of ancestors in Italian folk magic, adopting souls in Purgatory, and why Italian-Americans need to dump Columbus. Listen on the Bespoken Bones website! And, if you use the Apple Podcast app, make sure to subscribe to Bespoken Bones. :) 

As a quick note... the online course that Pavini and I discuss has already sold out. However, you can add your email to be notified when the course runs again here. 

Italian Folk Magic on the Italian American Podcast

As an Italian-American woman, I am a huge fan of the work that Dolores Alfieri and Anthony Fasano are doing through their website, The Italian American Experience. The podcast, the blog, the videos--everything these two put out into the world is such a beautiful representation of our unique cultural heritage. So when Dolores reached out and asked me to be a guest on their podcast, how could I say no? 

I was not disappointed. The conversation we had was intimate, personal, and ground-breaking for both of us. I felt vulnerable speaking so openly about my family history for the first time. A million thanks to Dolores for making this happen. May this conversation spark a light of remembrance for others! 

Full show and links are available on the Italian American Experience, which is well worth checking out. (If you liked this episode, you will love their interview with Robert Orsi, scholar of religious studies and author of The Madonna of 115th Street.)
