Hello everyone, I'm Jinx Monsoon and welcome to a brand new episode of Hi Jinx with me Jinx Monsoon.

Today, my guest is Erica Feldman, who is an author as well as the founder and headwitching charge

at House Witch in Salem, Massachusetts, which you may know as a little bit of a

witch-efficientado destination. Today, we talk about the destigmatization of witches and witchcraft

in our modern society. We talk about the growing trend of spirituality and we talk about how she

navigates the world as a shop owner who is staunchly anti-capitalist. All today on Hi Jinx,

so hunker down, buckle up, and sink your trompers into a brand new episode of Hi Jinx.

Hello everyone, I'm Jinx Monsoon and welcome to Hi Jinx, a podcast where I, an internationally tolerated

Mercury and Gemini, but I will and House Witch, you know, for better or worse sort of defies

explanation, I would say, but we are a radical intersectional feminist queer anti-capitalist

witch store in the heart of Salem, Massachusetts. And you know, we focus a lot on

witchcraft related specifically to sort of personal empowerment,

hexing the patriarchy, toppling capitalism, but also making your home feel really cozy.
