Missing Witches: Witches Found
Missing Witches is a research-based, feminist, occult storytelling project, created and produced by Risa Dickens and Amy Torok. In this episode, Amy Torok chats with author, teacher and host of the now classic cable access series The Goddess in Art, Starr Goode. They discuss Starr's book Sheela Na Gig, contemporary vulva art, Starr's history of activism in service of the Goddess, publishing a feminist newspaper in 1970 with her roommates (because one of them had a printing press), and the Coven she's been a part of since the 1980s: Nemesis. Starr shares her multi-generational perspective and gives advice for the next generation of Witches. April 7, 2021 (42 minutes)
