Hello and
thank you once again for joining me down at the crossroads for some
music, magick, and Paganism. Where witches gather for the sabbath,
offerings are made, pacts are signed for musical fame and we cross
paths with today’s most influential Pagans, occultists, and deep
thinkers. I am your bewitching, bald headed, host Chris Orapello
and tonight Tara joins us as we sit back down with the Appalachian
Hillfolks Hoodoer herself Byron Ballard where we seemingly
discuss everything under the Sun and Moon except her recent book
Asfidity and Madstones, a further ramble through
hillfolks hoodoo. The rabbit trails are strong with this one,
but the conversation we have is not to be missed. Tara and I catch
up with Byron as we also discuss her book, social media, and some
of the current issues in the Pagan community.
