Summary

Bri Luna returns to the show in celebration of her new book, BLOOD, SEX, MAGIC, a gorgeous visual grimoire teeming with spells, photography, artwork, and personal anecdotes meant to inspire the reader’s own witchcraft and self-expression. Luna is the founder of The HoodWitch, a web platform and lifestyle brand dedicated to empowering, educating, and cultivating community through meaningful rituals supporting self-care and wellness. She is devoted to offering “Everyday Magic for the modern mystic,” through her art, and is an advocate for the use of traditional healing practices to address modern-day challenges. She and her work have been featured internationally and in major publications including Vogue, I.D, and The New York Times.

On this episode, Bri discusses her ancestral spiritual influences, the power of sex magic, and how her aesthetics enhance her witchcraft.

Pam also talks about the rise of the esoteric art movement, and answers a listener question about occultism in academia.
