Summary

Steven Intermill is the director of the Buckland Museum of Witchcraft and Magick in Cleveland, Ohio. The Buckland collection includes artifacts from Raymond Buckland, Gerald Gardner, Lady Rowan, Aleister Crowley, Sybil Leek, Anton LaVey, Israel Regardie, Scott Cunningham, and many other leaders of the Pagan community. Featuring artifacts from the original collection, the museum’s mission is to display the tools and imagery of Witchcraft and Magick, while celebrating the First Amendment and the power of outsider art.

Steven got his passion for sharing interesting artifacts from his previous position as the curator of A Christmas Story House & Museum, and his interest in the arcane truly grew while performing with the outré synthesizer act, Telecult Powers. He spends his evenings with spouse Jillian and his three cats Berti, Robat, and Lil Richard.

On this episode, Steven discusses the history of the Buckland Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, the story of its visionary witch founder Raymond Buckland, and the importance of preserving Ray’s magical legacy.

Pam also talks about drawing strength from pioneering Pagans during tumultuous times, and answers a listener question about finding the magic of New York City.
