As part of a month-long series on Fabulous Folklore about magical practice and witchcraft in the 21st century, I'm chatting to Amaya Rourke, an Ireland-based animist folk witch, diviner, and spirit worker.
We discuss folkloric witchcraft and how it relates to historical practices, the knowledge encoded in folklore and legends, the difference between witches and magicians, and the beauty of the natural world!
