About this episode
In episode 134 of the Magick & Alchemy podcast, hosts Kate Belew & Kristin Lisenby discuss Summer Magick. They begin by looking up, searching the celestial forest for shooting stars and seasonal harbingers, before moving on to the mythologies of the fixed stars, including Sirius, Algol, and the Pleiades. They also talk about the Muses, nine goddesses of inspiration that we can call on for our summer creative work.
