season 2, episode 1 - #knitwitch life and how ritual embues my knitting

welcome to season 2 of the snort & cackle podcast! today, your host ash alberg will be talking about the ritual of knitting and how #knitwitch life manifests in every aspect of their life (at least when shit's healthy). as we head into deep winter here in the northern hemisphere, aka rest season/hibernation mode according to our ancestors, rituals shift and become even more important as we have less sunlight to structure our days and guide our work. ash talks about being a seasonal creature, the constant search for balance (does that even exist?), and how making as a love language helps to make the winter holiday season a little more enjoyable.

each season we read a new book about witchcraft practices around the world with the #snortandcacklebookclub, with a book review by ash and the occasional guest helping us close out the season. this season's #snortandcacklebookclub read is "orishas, goddesses, and voodoo queens" by lilith dorsey.
