Hi Witches

Join me for an interview with Shannon Wild discussing her craft and new music - we touch on animism, Pan, initiations on the Isle of Avalon and alchemising pain and rage into creative endeavours.

Shannon Pearl is a neo-folk musician and witch-pop pioneer from the Northeast of England. Trained as a Priestess and named a Sacred Sound Carrier on the Isle of Avalon, her spellbinding music has been described as "Haunting and ethereal" more than once and often leaves audiences bewitched. Taking inspiration from folklore, ancient tradition and nature and providing a visual spectacle on stage - her music and interwoven story telling will take you deep into the realms of the unknown in a sensory experience you won't forget. As well as this she is a Sacred Celebrant and can marry people within the pagan faith. She leads community based Moon Circles in her hometown of Sunderland and has just released a brand new Kulning EP named Fae Fälla.

Shannons book recommendations are -

Corrag - Susan Fletcher

The Last Witch of Scotland - Philip Paris

Folklore and Customs of Rural England - Margaret Baker

Weird Walk - Stewart Lee

Stone Circles - Colin Richards and Vivki Cummings

Robert Mcfarlane - The Old Ways/Underland
