Folklore and fantasy author Karenza Grant lives in west Cornwall, a place steeped in the history and living tradition of folklore and magic. How and why her love for this fascinating subject inspires her writing takes us from the annual washed-up tree trunks on a Cornish beach to the Pyrenees mountains of France, the setting of her current series of Folkoric Fae novels.

Karenza shares how a strange encounter on a cave expedition prompted a lucky escape between the worlds. And when and how we are unwittingly creating our own folklore practices of the modern day.

How does Karenza weave her passion for drawing and pictures into the creation of her books? And what is the next series coming up after Folkoric Fae?

Angela Barker started up a handmade witchcraft products business seven years ago with her friend Sarah Louise Kay and a shared passion for all things magical. Their combined knowledge and experience with herbs, candles, oils, sprays and crystals became Fenix Flames, expanding into a publishing company for Pagan authors within the first eighteen months.

But the huge loss of Sarah's unexpected passing in 2019 has not deterred Angela from carrying on in her honour. Angela now produces all the handmade magical products designed with her own recipes, including the original recipes that the friends created together.

As well as travelling and trading at witchcraft shows and festivals around the country, Angela also teaches workshops on the craft, runs a tarot and reiki practice, and is currently the largest supplier in the UK with her loose incense, handmade for all kinds of magical purposes.

And when she's not creating magic, teaching or travelling, Angela enjoys life at home with her wife, Claudine, and their three cats...
Another inspirational chat illustrating how busy witches weave their creative webs!

Emma Wardall, founder and managing director of the Essex Witch Museum, reveals her passion for telling the stories of those marginalised from society during the witch trials that took place in the county of Essex, England, from 1542 to 1736.

She is currently fundraising with her colleagues to open an in-person museum in Chelmsford, exploring the local stories from this brutal period of history, and preserving them for future generations.

What was believed to be a witch? What was the difference between witches and cunning folk? Why were they persecuted? Who were they?

A fascinating chat about the museum journey so far, visions for the future and exciting news for an entire week of witch trials fun and education coming up in Chelmsford from Oct 27th - Nov 2nd...
