Show Notes

In this episode of the Mystai Podcast, I am rejoined by Ben Stimpson, Llewellyn author of Ancestral Whispers, and the forthcoming Wise Ones with Crossed Crow. Ben has been a long-time friend & fellow on my own author journey, so it was a pleasure to sit back down with him after 3 years and do a retrospective on how we've both changed.

In this episode we discuss his recent focus on the Cunning Folk in England & Wales, how their accounts differed from European counterparts & explore some contemporary issues and hot topics in modern pagan reconstructions & how we go about constructing narratives of practice.

Ben's book, Ancestral Whispers can be found at Llewellyn here: https://www.llewellyn.com/product.php?ean=9780738774725
