Strung Out Episode 68 THE VILLAGE WITCHES

Send us Fan Mail"First it is ridiculed, then it is persecuted, then it is marketed."  So says Blake Malliway, quoting one of his teachers from Glastonbury, England.  Blake and Wycke Malliway are the village witches of Rogers Park, Chicago, Illinois, having established a shop on Morse avenue that offers what one would expect a shop for witchcraft to offer.  (To view the shop, watch the Mr. Marty Show by clicking on this link)  Though you ng men, the Malliway Bros. Shop and the courses, spells, wards, charms, candles, relics and bones conjure up something much older and deeper.  That is where their training in Glastonbury, (a "university town of witchcraft") and Cornwall England come into play.  Under the tutelage of practicing village witches, the Malliway Bros. bring to the shores of Lake Michigan some serious magic.  And though they happily embrace the imagery and support for magic that the Harry Potter movies created, they are by no means dabbling in some passing fancy.  These two witches, and the coven of witches, they have formed in this part of Illinois are serious practitioners of the art.   Through it all, they have faced the bias and fear that has been part of the witch practice since time immemorial.  But they have also found a great acceptance in the community, from the curious to those who seek knowledge and those who need a good spell.   Carefree, open and very approachable, the Malliway Brothers are happy to call Rogers Park home.  And we are happy to have two very good village witches. Support the showWe are always grateful to have you listening to STRUNG OUT.    Here are some important links:SUPPORT THE SHOW:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/MartyfineaKMARTIN'S WEBSITE:http://www.MARTINMcCORMACK.COM  (note---you can get my weekly bulletin when you sign up on the list!)MARTIN'S MUSIC: Music | Martin Laurence McCormack (bandcamp.com)Martin McCormack | SpotifyMARTIN'S YOUTUBE CHANNELMartin McCormack - YouTubeFACEBOOKFacebook...
