Author Tamsin Davis-Langley (writing under "Misha Magdalene") joins me for the hour.
Visit: https://mishamagdalene.com/
From the author's website:
My name* is Misha Magdalene. I’m a multi-classed, multi-geek, multi- witch with a degree in gender studies and a slightly odd sense of humor. I’m an initiate of multiple lines of traditional witchcraft, including the Anderson Feri tradition and Gardnerian Wicca. I’ve also been known to dabble recklessly in both modern ceremonial magic and grimoiric goetia. I’ve been blogging since 2001, negotiating the online world since 1987, playing Dungeons & Dragons since 1981, and listening to weird music since birth. I live in the Pacific Northwest with my polymath partner, several tons of books, far too much coffee-making apparatus, and two adorably destructive black cats. My gender pronouns are they/them, and I’m always delighted to share the lengthy (and grammatically correct!) history of the singular “they” in English.
