The Real Tituba - Part One - Players in The Salem Witch Trials
Who was Tituba? She's been presented as the victimized slave by writers like Arthur Miller, an anecdotal player in The Salem Witch Trials, and a highly empowered trickster figure who was responsible for bringing down the Puritan establishment. But beneath it all, the truth is much more nuanced and interesting than any of these portrayals. In this video, I begin my exploration of the central players in The Salem Witch Trials by taking a look at one of the most overlooked and misrepresented of the lot. Part 2 coming soon!
It's the Rise of the Witch City! I begin where we left off in the last video and examine the pivotal impact the 1970's had on Halloween in Salem.

The creatures of folklore and myth absolutely captivate me. But it wasn’t until I got into exploring the world of the esoteric that I came upon perhaps the most startling realization about such beings: some of them are actually real. The term “fairy” appears in European folklore as a sort of catch-all term to describe a range of types of spirits. Some other familiar creatures from folklore that have, at times, been lumped in with fairies include goblins and gnomes. But generally these spirits are small in stature, humanoid, and wield magical powers such as enchantment and protection.
My guest today is Morgan Daimler. Morgan has been thinking about fairies and their place in folklore, myth, and spirituality for a long time. She teaches classes and writes about Irish myth, magical practices, fairies, and much more. Her work includes Gods and Goddesses of Ireland, Fairycraft, Irish Paganism, and many more.
I asked Morgan to come on the show because I was fascinated to learn how she views fairies as both mythological figures and ones incorporated in her own spiritual practice as a Wiccan. The conversation was absolutely enchanting and I very much hope you agree.

Is there a way to conceptualize alchemy that's slightly more esoteric than turning lead into gold? In this video, I offer a broad overview of something that's fascinated me for years and has helped me to totally transform my life. In the process of exploring this esoteric alchemy, I wade into the shallow end on topics like: Hermeticism, the Emerald Tablets, Isaac Newton, Carl Jung, mysticism, and much more. I would be absolutely fascinated to hear your thoughts on the topics covered in this video, so please leave a comment below.
