Summary

Interview starts at 28:45

Todd Elliott, The Cunning Farmer joins us to chat about his sacred and magical philosophy on farming, nature and agriculture. We get into his amazing recent book "The Cunning Farmer - Agrarian Magical Practices, Mythology, and Folklore", the cunning folk, petitions and offerings, singing to the plants, eclipses and crops, geomancy, the cardinal directions, solar and lunar cycles, the Seasons, astronomers, astrologers, animism, Neo-Platonism, Christianity, and Hermeticism.

We also touch on ancient wheat, the Mayan calendars, precession, re sacralizing agriculture, the wheel of the year, the four elements, hemispheric differences, the Hopewell mounds, Serpent mound, and intelligence and communication being everywhere.

"finally, an earth-magic book written by someone who actually touches earth." John Michael Greer

Todd Elliott is a farmer, earth worker, Reiki master, Druid, and was certified as an Astrological Magician by Renaissance Astrology. A lifelong student of mythology, religion, spirituality, folklore, and esoterica, he lives, works, writes, and studies on a small ridgetop farm in north central Kentucky, where he and his family ethically raise vegetables, fruits, and livestock.
