They contemplate fairy tales as prayers, and Danielle shares what she’s learned from guiding people on their writing journeys. She shares advice for people carrying a book in their hearts and introduces us to her latest publication, Bones & Honey: A Heathen Prayer Book.

In episode 122 of the Magick & Alchemy podcast, hosts Kristin Lisenby and Kate Belew contemplate the Witch & the Bitch. Following in the footsteps of Artemis, Hecate, and their sacred hounds, this conversation draws listeners into the Underworld. There, the wolf goddesses Leto and Lupa speak about guardianship, kinship, and reclamation. Medusa arrives next, followed by Asteria and the other moon goddesses turned monsters. Through a mythical lens, they consider the archetypal Bitch, Bitch as a dog, Bitch as a sacred hound, and Bitch as a Witch.
