The Frightful Howls You May Hear: Animist Immersion with Albert Björn Shiell
Quote:Sfinga and B. Key are joined by the incredible Albert Björn Shiell, witch, sorcerer, and student of English and Icelandic folk magical traditions. Albert goes over his experience studying oral and literary traditions of Icelandic magic, and muses on the nature of integrating into not only a new culture and language, but a foreign country's animist landscape. The gang discusses what it means to actually breathe an animist life through conscious relationality with the natural world, all while sharing a few laughs over common misconceptions of each of their traditions.
'Historically, we may regard materialism as a system of dogma set up to combat orthodox dogma...Accordingly we find that, as ancient orthodoxies disintegrate, materialism more and more gives way to scepticism.'
