Summary

I have been looking forward to today's episode for a long time. As you know, José's work has featured in two of my own books and his The Book of St Cyprian: The Sorcerer's Treasure really kicked my own practice up a notch when it came out.

We talk mythology, the difference between magic and mysticism, St Cyprian, folk Catholicism, cultural identity… and were-donkeys.

Very good times.
