| 0:00.0 | Hey, everyone. Welcome to Seeking Witchcraft. Today I have on a super special guest, which some of you may recognize for my constant book recommendation, Thorne Mooney. So thank you, Thorne so much for coming on. Would you give yourself a quick introduction? |
| 0:14.0 | Sure, Ashley. Hey, thanks for having me. My name is Thorne Mooney, and I write write books and I'm on the internet. |
| 0:21.6 | I've got one book out right now called Traditional Wicca that came out in 2018. |
| 0:26.6 | I'm working on a second book, but the first book is about how to get involved in initiatory Wicca. |
| 0:34.6 | I had been, I mean, I've been involved in witchcraft communities for decades, |
| 0:40.0 | and I was frustrated as a member of a gardenarian group with how dated our resources are. There were |
| 0:47.3 | so many books that folks were still recommending from the 50s through the 80s, and it just seemed kind of ludicrous to me that there hadn't been anything written in recent years. |

| 1:40.0 | But I guess to start, I'd love if we can talk about your book. So I've recommended it in the past before, but I think it's best to kind of hear it from the author themselves. |
| 1:49.0 | So would you want to talk a little bit about it? |
| 1:51.1 | So anybody who's brand new or listening kind of has an idea of what it's about? |
| 1:54.6 | Sure. |
| 1:55.2 | In retrospect, I sort of wonder if maybe I shouldn't have been a little bit smarter with the title. |
