[close] This group looks at all the things that happen in our world that show us that there is more to our lives than physical reality. We also live in soul reality. We know when someone is staring at us. Some of us remember previous lives. Shamanic work can heal when Western medicine can't. Many of us have seen ghosts and angels. All of these things mean that there is more to our lives than the physical. This is not a religious group. Belief is not the focus. We welcome religious and non-religious people who are here to share books and conversation about experiences that show we all have souls.

[close] A digital book club focusing on folkloric and traditional magic. By undertaking close readings of folk tales and anthropological and academic texts about folkloric practices, we hoping we can uncover some of the underpinning principles with a view to how we can apply these things to our own lives and practices. We're also interested in how a queer theoretical perspective can trouble our received understanding of 'how things were' and result in new insights about difference and otherness - especially in regards to the archetype of the witch. The moderator's interests are in Appalachian, Irish, English, German and Serbian folk practices as that’s where his ancestral lines lie, but we welcome folks from other cultural heritages, especially people of colour and folks outside of Europe.
