Sky, Dirt, Spirit: What Folk Cosmology Mean to Me

from Busted Broom · host Samantha G.

In this episode, we're diving into the wild, tangled roots of folk cosmology. What does it mean to see the world through a magical lens shaped by land, stars, ancestors, and spirits? We're not talking textbook science or big religion. This is the kind of cosmology built from dirt under your nails and stories whispered by firelight. We'll explore how different cultures mapped the unseen world, how those views shaped their rituals, and how it all ties into the ways modern witches and magical folks still work today. This is for anyone who’s ever felt like the wind carried a message or that the moon was watching. Come get cosmic in the most earthy way possible.
