Episode 163: Something in the Woods Loves You with Jarod Anderson

In episode 163 of the Magick & Alchemy podcast, hosts Kate Belew and Kristin Lisenby interview Jarod Anderson. Jarod is a nature writer, podcaster, poet, and erstwhile academic. In this conversation, Jarod invites listeners into the church of the forest, where the priests and clergy are heron, stick bugs, and squirrels. He offers us perspectives on poetry, on brain weather, and what magic means to him, as well as shares some rituals for helping you remember that you too, are nature. To learn more about Jarod, visit JarodKAnderson.com and follow him on Instagram @thecryptionaturalist and Substack.
