This week is all about Janet! We’re kicking off a few episodes intended to give listeners a closer look at each of the co-hosts of Everyday Animism, and the Hufflepuff in the group obviously deserved to go first.
Spring is coming! Mercury is retrograde! This week is an exploration of season and the themes of spring as they present themselves in both our inner and external lives. Join us in exploring how we show up for the changing season, talk about Brandice's seasonal offering, congratulate Janet on her new website digs, and celebrate a thoughtful review of Kelley's Runic Book of Days.

This week we talk about the internet and technology, and what these things mean to us as animists. We'll definitely continue this conversation, which branched off in too many directions to address with just one episode.

These week we explore Marie Kondo and the KonMari method, our thoughts regarding the cultural conversation and the method itself. We also answer a question from Stuart in Sydney regarding our view of duality as animists, and the takeaways really spoke to both topics. Lots of good nuggets this week.

This is the last episode of both the podcast season and the current nature season, so it's timely that winter solstice is our focus. Learn about winter solstice, how it can be experienced internally along with intentional ritual, and what potential is held in a quiet period of reflecting on both the dark and the return of light. Solstice blessings to all of our listeners.

This week we search for Janet and then discuss animism and art, covering the ways our perception and consumption of creative work can be understood animistically and also exploring the ways in which the art we create transform both the artist and the audience. Brandice apologizes for the Danielle Steele reference.
