Reclaiming Ourselves: Resiliency, Magic, & Building The Skills To Resist / Emma Kathryn

Emma Kathryn, author of Reclaiming Ourselves from Gods&Radicals Press, joins me to discuss her writings exploring the practical steps we all can take to reclaim basic skill sets, such as foraging, cooking, folk medicine, and witchcraft.

A large part of this discussion focuses around the steps we all can take to exert more personal autonomy and cultivate lasting connection to the land, the food we eat, our bodies, and the more-than-human world, and how this is crucial in reclaiming ourselves, building resiliency, and resisting the logic of capitalism. Emma also digs into the magical traditions she practices, in particular Obeah, which includes digging into the history of this spiritual tradition and how this interconnects with her broader work.
