Summary

Tayannah Lee McQuillar is a writer and researcher who focuses on shining a light on Black and Indigenous American spiritual and cultural history. She is the author of Rootwork: Using the Folk Magic of Black America for Love, Money, and Success, Astrology for Mystics, and the poetic novella Creole Fire, which imagines a relationship between historical occult figures Marie Laveau and Paschal Beverly Randolph. She is also the creator of two divination decks: The Sibyls Oraculum: Oracles of the Black Doves of Africa, and The Hoodoo Tarot, both illustrated by Katelan Foisy. Tayannah also does ancestor readings and comes from a long line of Hoodoo practitioners.

On this episode, Tayannah discusses mindful ancestor work, Black American occultism, and how poetry and history can go hand in hand.

Pam also speaks about pairing magic with material action, and answers a listener question about how specific to get in one’s spells.

Our sponsors for this episode are Crystals of Quartz, Kismet Berlin, BetterHelp, Wishcraft Goods, and Zouz Incense
