Magical October 1 - Shetland Folk Magic & Tarot with Una Blyth

I'm kicking off a month-long series on Fabulous Folklore by talking to magical practitioners and witches in the 21st century. This week, I chat to Ùna Blyth, the Shetland-based folk magic practitioner and tarot reader.

We talk about what witchcraft and magically actually are, how the Shetland Islands offer different opportunities for folk magic, whether tarot is essential to witchcraft, and the misconceptions provoked by the glamourous makeover witchcraft has had in the Instagram Age!

We also discuss Ùna's forthcoming book, Muses No More: Portraits of Occult Women.
