About this episode

Patti Negri interviews Jenny C. Bell about her book on inclusive witchcraft and various related topics.

Patti welcomes witchy author Jenny C. Bell back to The Witching Hour to discuss her new book, “Divergent Witchcraft: An Inclusive Approach to Making Magick,” which uses education-based strategies to make beginner witchcraft more accessible through short sections, exercises, and journal prompts. Jenny shares her background as a special education teacher, her Catholic upbringing and early spiritual experiences, and how health and workplace struggles led her to write. They talk about favorite witches in literature (including Ultima from “Bless Me, Ultima”), how witchcraft is becoming more accepted among younger generations, and how feminism and divine feminine/masculine concepts connect to the craft. Jenny recommends meditation, journaling, and altar building as foundational practices, shares paranormal experiences, and explains where to find her work, community, and upcoming projects.
