Thea Anderson joins us back on the show! In this episode, we discuss how to modernize grimoire magic (need a lunar mansion to help braid your hair, anyone?), as well as how astrology can help us unearth the past. Together, we explore: the different ways to conceptualize (and work with) the lunar mansions, as well as Thea’s research on convict leasing, black codes, “pig laws," and the Imperial 95.
