Episode 3 - Religion and the Paranormal
Guest: Thorn Mooney
Spooky Sisterhood Council member Andronike James and I got to chat with our friend Thorn Mooney about everyone’s favorite family dinner topic- religion! As a religious studies scholar and a well-known social media presence on the topic of witchcraft, Thorn brought a wealth of knowledge to the table. And we know you’re wondering…yes. We do talk about why “everything” is a demon! More importantly, we take a moment to celebrate pop culture witchcraft.
