New World Witchery - The Search for American Traditional Witchcraft 
Thank you so much for this podcast, I loved it. I really liked how personal the podcast was, how both of you shared your experiences and thoughts, and also your interview with author Signe Pike. How she described her experiences were wonderful!
My own experiences with nature spirits have been mixed, I listen very carefully to my feelings and instincts and if I have the feeling of move it, I get out there very quickly. Thinking back to the podcast I think Signe Pike mentioned something similar to this. I really want to buy her book, sounds very good
