Vikki Bramshaw, Author, Folklorist, New Forest Folklore

In this episode, I will be talking to Vikki Bramshaw. She has been an author for nearly twenty years, covering esoteric and historical topics. Vikki is currently working on the biography of Sybil Leek, which we discuss. We also talk about magic, theatre, and authenticity over lineage folk practices and venture into the world of Dionysus, animism, and cross-cultural parallels.

Vikki is also active in the New Forest Folklore Society, which was founded in 2025. The society brings together researchers, historians, and enthusiasts of New Forest folklore. She is running several projects to gather stories and promote the study and understanding of its unique cultural and environmental significance. As a quick overview of Vikki's books, we talk about Craft of the Wise, Dionysus Excited to Frenzy, as well as the Hecate anthologies.
