Animism and Animistic Witchcraft with Althaea Sebastiani

Fabulous Folklore with Icy

Althaea Sebastiani is a spiritworker and religious educator whose work focuses on helping people navigate the realities of deep spiritual practice. Their work is punctuated by strong emphasis on doing the work and encourages learning through direct experience.

A spirit-led witch with nearly 30 years’ experience, their personal practice is land-based and devotional, focused on being responsive to the spirits of the land wherever their travels take them and doing right by the Gods Who have called them into Their service.

In this chat we explore what animism is, how it relates to witchcraft, whether the gods from Earth would show up on other planets, and why the 'craft' part of witchcraft is so important!
