What do you wish I asked this guest? What was your "quotable moment" from this episode? When the winds of the Southern wilds whisper secrets of the old ways, Larry Evans, a witch and occult artist, is there to catch them. Today, our conversation weaves through the thicket of his Appalachian heritage and into the heart of his craft, where we find the enchanting intersection of nature, disruption, and the art of jewelry-making from reclaimed copper. The captivating lore of his family's herbal remedies and hunting traditions paints a backdrop to Larry's embrace of witchcraft as more than just spells—it's a dance with the rhythms of the earth itself.

Our foray into historical texts like the "Four Books of Occult Philosophy" and the secrets of the Emerald Tablet offers a rich context for the modern mystic, inviting listeners to explore the archival depths where the roots of magic intertwine with the branches of knowledge.As the tarot's rich tapestry unfolds, we honor the visionary Pamela Colman Smith and the profound influence of decks like the Rider-Waite-Smith, Crowley's Thoth, and the classical Marseille. With an eye towards the future, we tease an upcoming conversation with psychic medium Melissa Saint-Hilaire, foreshadowing a journey into contemporary tarot that promises to be as diverse as it is deep.
