TEA with Folklore Writer Ben Stimpson
Summary
Halo Quinn interviews author and therapist Ben Stimson about his book *Of Doves and Ravens*, which explores authentic Welsh folklore and magical practitioners. They discuss the importance of grounding stories in specific landscapes rather than decontextualizing them, contrasting this with the individualistic tendencies of modern neo-paganism. The conversation highlights how diaspora communities adapt traditions and critiques the commodification of spiritual practice, advocating for deeper, place-based community connections.
