Errata: Mastering Magick
It has come to my attention that there’s a minor error in Mastering Magick, that made it into the audiobook version as well.

The Representation of Witches in Hocus Pocus 2
I recently had the honor and pleasure of being asked by a journalist from Newsweek to give my thoughts on the portrayal of Hocus Pocus, Hocus Pocus 2, and how real witches felt about how witches were being portrayed during the seeming rise of a new Satanic Panic. You can read the full article by clicking here, and it’s worth reading as other fantastic witches gave their thoughts as well.
With interviews like these, they often have to, understandably, limit what you say down to a few sentences...
