Pop Culture Witchcraft
In this episode of Uncomfortable, I chat with Tarot Reader + Pop Culture Witch Lindsay Braynen. Lindsay educates me on how witchcraft has influenced pop culture and vice versa; how it’s largely a feminist movement and; how colonialism tried to destroy the spiritual practices of black and indigenous cultures.
