Katta Kis

This month romance author Katta Kis joined me to chat about the controversial classic, The Satanic Witch, originally published as The Compleat Witch or What to do When Virtue Fails. I'm not sure what either of us really expected but I think we both left feeling like we'd learned more about Anton LaVey's personal peccadilloes that we did about Satanism. Katta and I discuss the sexism, context, and LaVey's general obsession with what now seems like very traditional ideas of what it means to be a woman.You can pick up a copy of Katta's latest book Love at the Rock Show wherever you buy books and find links to social media, events, etc on her website.Next month, Cassandra Snow will be joining me to discuss Rachel Pollack's Seventy-eight Degrees of Wisdom. The book has been in print since it was first released in two parts in 1980, so there are second hand copies galore as well as a newish release from Weiser with a new preface by Pollack. Digital and audiobook versions are also available, so check your local library too.WitchLit listeners receive 15% off their purchases at La Panthére Studio with the code WITCHLIT.Please support Black, Indigenous, queer, trans, and women-owned, local, independent bookstores and occult shops.Transcripts of all episodes are available at witchlitpod.com.
