In each season of The Modern Crone, I bring the real-deal magic-makers to the table to chat about their lives, bridging the worlds of the visible and invisible, spirit and matter. I share my own stories of people, pilgrimage and paranormal, with the intent of redefining what it is to live a modern spiritual life.Real people, real stories and a whole lot of mind-blowing, spirit-stirring conversations.
