We cover a lot of ground including representation of witchcraft, new-paganism, and other esoteric traditions in 1990s fiction; how hard one can suspend one’s disbelief; and how Discordianism and Chaos magic appear in the oddest places.

S9E08 – Mark Norman

keifel — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 08:00:25 +0000

A note that the audio for this episode isn’t the best it could be. We had a few internet connectivity issues and Julian, our editor, did his best with what I gave him.

Folkrist and author Mark Norman of The Folklore Podcast joined me this month to talk about reading and collecting folklore, publishing on niche topics (including pop-culture folklore), and what draws us to the darker stories of the past and present.

S09E06 — Cassandra Snow

victoria — Wed, 17 Sep 2025 07:00:39 +0000

This month author and professional tarot reader Cassandra Snow joins me to discuss Rachel Pollack’s classic Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom. While it’s been called the tarot bible, it does have some detractors. Cassandra and I discuss the impact the book and Pollack has had on tarot reading and practice—both for Cassandra and in general, the breadth of knowledge Pollack brings to the text, and her brilliance as a writer. We also address a few of those criticisms.

You can pick up a copy of Tarot in Other Words, a book of essays by queer tarot readers, authors and deck creators edited by Cassandra, wherever you buy books. You can learn more about Cassandra’s other work, book a tarot reading, and get their social media details from their website.

Next month I’ll be joined by author and editor Judika Illes to discuss the Soviet Era samizdat classic The Master and the Margarita by Mikhail Bulgacov. Originally published as a complete book in Paris in 1967 after being passed around as an underground manuscript for nearly 30 years, the book has been translated into multiple languages. If you are reading along, it is available in English as a paperback and in digital and audiobook formats. My library had all three available.

S9E05 – Katta Kis

keifel — Wed, 20 Aug 2025 07:00:59 +0000

This month romance author Katta Kis joined me to chat about the controversial classic, The Satanic Witch, originally published as The Compleat Witch or What to do When Virtue Fails. I’m not sure what either of us really expected but I think we both left feeling like we’d learned more about Anton LaVey’s personal peccadilloes that we did about Satanism. Katta and I discuss the sexism, context, and LaVey’s general obsession with what now seems like very traditional ideas of what it means to be a woman.

You can pick up a copy of Katta’s latest book Love at the Rock Show wherever you buy books and find links to social media, events, etc on her website.

Next month, Cassandra Snow will be joining me to discuss Rachel Pollack’s Seventy-eight Degrees of Wisdom. The book has been in print since it was first released in two parts in 1980, so there are second hand copies galore as well as a newish release from Weiser with a new preface by Pollack. Digital and audiobook versions are also available, so check your local library too.

keifel — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 07:00:31 +0000

This month, author and tarot deck creator Charles Harrington joined me to discuss The Oracle Glass by Judith Merkle Riley. There’s a lot of ground to cover with a book this expansive, but we hit on what fiction gets right and wrong about reading the future, thoughts on identity and persona, and lots and lots of asides on tarot and the history of the occult.

Charles’s latest book is Tarot and Oracle Card Reading for Dummies and is available wherever books are sold. He has developed and written guide books for several tarot and oracle decks including the The Odyssey Oracle, The Tarot of the Vampires, The Murder of Crows Tarot, available at bookstores and fine occult shops everywhere.

Next month, Katta Kis (Love in the Liner Notes, Love at the Rock Show) will be joining me to talk about Anton LaVey’s 1971 book The Compleat Witch, republished as The Satanic Witch in 1988.

We also talk about how his work connects with his practice and his opinion on AI and what it means for artists. Our discussion happened before the recent AI news about the DeepSeek model and ensuing scramble in the tech world. I find I’m still on the side of the analog.

Summer Hiatus – Rerun – Dr. Alexander Cummins

keifel — Wed, 26 Jul 2023 07:00:00 +0000

Today’s rerelease is my conversation with Dr. Alexander Cummins. We talked about a number of his previous books and his then upcoming book Nazarth: Pillars of Gladness or, a Geomancer’s Angelical Psalter of Calls, containing vessels 19 with which to water the earth — because we love the Early Modern full-paragraph book titles. He offers many courses on his website alexandercummins.com and will be presenting at the Salem Witchcraft and Folklore Festival in August. We’ll be back with new episodes beginning next week on August 2.

Original episode show notes: Dr. Cummins and I talk about the academic and the practical in both writing and magic and how to make the academic practical. If you ever wondered what academics on either side of the pond think about magic, you can get an inside scoop here.

Show notes:
You can purchase all of Dr. Cummins books wherever books are sold or directly from Hadean Press or Revelore Press

Summer Hiatus – Rerun – Margaret Killjoy

keifel — Wed, 19 Jul 2023 07:00:13 +0000

Today’s rerelease is my conversation with Margaret Killjoy. We talked mostly about her book A Country of Ghosts and her Danielle Caine series. Since our conversation she has published two new books We Won’t Be Here Tomorrow and Escape from Incel Island. With the Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness collective, she just completed a Kickstarter for Penumbra City, a role playing game set in “a world where money has lost its luster, and it is a character’s reputation with the various gangs, factions, and coalitions that determine their access to resources.” She is also busy with two podcasts: Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff, a history of organizers, activists, and anarchists, and Live Like the World Is Dying, a podcast with rotating hosts talking about community preparedness.

Original episode show notes: Margaret and I chat about her writing, and her podcasting, and her music, and anarchism, but mostly about writing and her excellent book A Country of Ghosts and the Danielle Caine series of novellas. There may have been fangirling.

Margaret’s work is available wherever books are sold. A Country of Ghosts is available directly from AKPress and you can preorder We Won’t Be Here Tomorrow and Other Stories.

WitchLit is on a summer hiatus while we settle into our new WitchLit HQ and rather than leave a blank space in the feed, we’re taking the old TV network approach and bringing you some summer reruns from our first two seasons. Today’s rerelease is my conversation with Emma Kathryn. We talked about their then new book Witch Life and roaming the woods for mental health as well as that connection to the green world. She has a new book coming out in December 2023, Season Songs: Rediscovering the Magic in the Cycles of Nature, and has started a new podcast project, the Wild Witch Podcast, on Spotify.

Original show notes: Emma Kathryn was great fun to chat with. Her approach to writing, and magic, is practical and infused with her personal charm and wit. We also manage to squeeze some talk of baking — from the recipes in her book — into our chat.

WitchLit is on a summer hiatus while we settle into our new WitchLit HQ and rather than leave a blank space in the feed, we’re taking the old TV network approach and bringing you some summer reruns from our first two seasons. Today’s rerelease is my conversation with Cory Thomas Hutcheson. Cory graciously— gamely?—agreed to be the first guest on WitchLit and was a huge resource for getting WitchLit off the ground. I’m also proud to announce that 1000Volt Press will be publishing his new book with his podcasting cohost Laine Fuller later this summer. Conjuring the Commonplace: A Guide to Everyday Enchantment & Junk Drawer Magic is a treasure trove of folklore and magic made from the mundane and we can’t wait to get it into your hands.

We’re kicking off this podcast with original friend of the pod, Cory Thomas Hutcheson. Cory released the treasure trove of North American folk magic that is New World Witchery in April 2021 and has more work in the pipeline for 2022 and beyond.

Summer Hiatus – ReRun – Lana Popvic Harper

keifel — Wed, 21 Jun 2023 07:00:31 +0000

WitchLit is on a summer hiatus while we settle into our new WitchLit HQ and rather than leave a blank space in the feed, we’re taking the old TV network approach and bringing you some summer reruns from our first two seasons. Today’s rerelease is my conversation with Lana Harper. We talked about her New York Times bestselling Thistle Grove series. The first book Payback’s a Witch, has been followed by From Bad to Cursed, Back in a Spell, and the forthcoming In Charm’s Way out in August 2023. It was a delight to talk queer, witchy romance with Lana. If you haven’t picked up the Thistle Grove series, I highly recommend you add it to your to-be-read pile and spend some time in the enchanted small town she has created.

New York Times best-selling author Lana Harper and I talked writing escapist stories, transitioning from writing YA to adult fiction, and why witches continue to be hot in fiction and popular culture. We also talked about hitting that bestseller list and why it was a doubly sweet victory.

You can purchase Payback’s a Witch and From Bad to Cursed wherever books are sold.

S3E13 – Temperance Alden

keifel — Wed, 04 Jan 2023 08:00:05 +0000

This is the last episode of season three. We’ll be back in three weeks with all new interviews with witchy, pagan, and occult writers and I hope a few more surprises along the way.

After a very serious discussion of notebooks too nice to write in, Temperance and I got to bio-regionalism in witchcraft, best ways to market your witchy books, and the strange number of people whose ashes are haunting the Haunted Mansion ride.

A few things we mentioned:
Find Chronicle Go-To notebooks here:
The original Bunnicula ABC Weekend Specials cartoon is available on YouTube from the Museum of Classic Chicago Television.
The text Temperance mentions is Ars Moriendi (The Art of Dying Well), a pamphlet widely distributed in Europe during the plague years.

Special—A Very Cryptid Christmas panel

keifel — Wed, 05 Oct 2022 00:00:01 +0000

Special Episode – A Very Cryptid Christmas panel

Content note: We’re an explicit rated podcast but just in case you listen with littles or at work or something, this episode is pretty much writing about sex with monsters. Enjoy! Maybe with headphones.

Season 3 will start officially next week, with an interview with Storm Faerywolf.

In the interim here’s a special episode with 6 writer friends about our new anthology coming out October 18 with Moon Tan Press. D.S. Dane, Su Fertall, Gemma Snow, E.C. Spaur, Lulu M, Sylvian (previous guest) and Wednesday Wheeler joined me to talk about why we wrote stories about hot cryptic romance for Christmas/Solstice. D.B. Sieders (upcoming guest) couldn’t join us but she got some words in from her family vacation.

Yes, this episode is basically an ad but I was also honored to work with this group of writers, two of which have their debut romance stories published in this anthology, and I think you’ll enjoy meeting them and finding out a little bit about why we all chose the cryptids we did in order to spread some hot holiday cheer.

In the book you’ll encounter a host of cryptids (and mythical creatures) with romance and/or hookups for everyone.
You can preorder the ebook on multiple platforms: https://books2read.com/u/bQPvJd
Print books will be available later this year (2022).

Mortellus is swiftly becoming—if they aren’t already—the authority on pagan death and dying and the rituals around death and the dead. We covered a lot of ground in our conversation including how Mortellus’s work in the funeral industry weaves into their practice and writing.

Season 1 Update

keifel — Wed, 20 Apr 2022 00:00:09 +0000

WitchLit Pod goes weekly!

This is Victoria dropping into your feed to give you a quick update. The response from writers has been wonderful and we’ve got so many great interviews to share with you that we’re bumping up to a weekly schedule.

Starting next week, April 27th with guest Jason Mankey, there’ll be a new WitchLit episode out every Wednesday. And because making a weekly podcast is a whole other thing, we’re going to take a short break in June before bringing you season two with more great authors and new theme music written just for us.

I also wanted to say thank you to all the guests who’ve already been on the show or done interviews that you’ll get to hear soon. Also, big thanks to everyone who’s messaged to let us know you’re enjoying the show and to the behind the scenes folks who’ve been supportive in other ways.

If you’re a writer of the witchy or the occult and you’d like to be on the show, fill out the Be a Guest form or message me on Instagram @witchlitpod if that’s easier.

Thanks again for listening and for reading witchy.
