Hey everyone. Welcome back to Seeking Witchcraft. I'm your host, Ashley, and today I have on a special

return guest, Amy Blackthorn. Amy is here to discuss the social media influence on witchcraft

and is the co-author of a new book called Social Media Spellbook, 366 Ways to Get Witchie on the Web

with Natalie Zamen. Welcome Amy to the show. Thank you so much.

Of course. Or I should really say back to the show. It's been a while, but oh my gosh, I'm so excited

to have you back on. I'm pretty sure it was 2020. So that's, oh my gosh. I'm pretty sure you're right.

That's, wow, that feels like a whole lifetime ago. Yes. Well, Amy, for those who have possibly not listened to the episode in 2020, could you say a little bit about your background?

Blackthorns botanical wellness was next. And then this, September 1st, actually, sacred plant

magic comes out, which is, it's meant to be a sequel to Blackthorn Botanical Magic. So it's developing

a spirit practice connecting with the spirits of individual plants, as well as the spirits of overarching

plants like peppermint or

lavender or nutmeg. Awesome. Well, you're just killing it with the books. And congratulations on the

upcoming book and this book that we're going to talk about a little later today, of course. And

I did want to also say your protection magic book was a book that we read for my Patreon book club
