Being an Ambassador To Others - On Fairy Doctoring and Joan of Arc | Briar of the Greene Chapel

This week, we welcome traditional witch, cunning woman, and fairy doctor, Briar of the Greene Chapel, onto the pod to talk about their practice within the context of French fairy seership, holding right relations with the good neighbors, and their work as a fairy doctor. We also explore their recently published research on the potential connections between the fairy faith and the story of Joan of Arc. What does hospitality mean to the fae? What are the burdens and responsibilities of those who have been marked? How might we, as humans, best navigate the mercurial logic of the fae and their liminality? What is the importance of accepting we already live in an enchanted world? And, what does all of this have to do with Joan? All this and more, on today’s episode of SaturnVox
