I had the joy of speaking with Kelden, the author of "The Witch's Sabbath" and "The Crooked Path" while attending an outdoor festival in Minnesota. Listen in as we talk about Traditional Witchcraft, folklore, and the Devil! (And because this was recorded live outdoors, you'll also hear sanitation trucks, the portapoties were getting cleaned while we were chatting.).

Lammas (or Lughnasadh depending on your preference) is either a celebration of the first harvest of the absolute height of summer.
