From your host Barbara

Hello, Keelian friends and family!

It’s been a little while since we talked with a Witch, isn’t it?

So, I called up Cheryl Costa, who has been a Witch for quite a while. In addition, she’s a teacher, an author, a filmmaker, UFO researcher and a Buddhist.

We settled in the night we recorded, and had so much fun getting to know each other that we nearly forgot to turn on the recording equipment! (I am such a professional podcaster, y’all!)

We talked about Witchcraft, Magick, Buddhism, UFOs, History and Mystery.

There’s a lot in here, and a lot that is good for everyone to hear—especially when it comes to how to practice magick effecively. And -why- to practice magic.k in the first place.

I don’t want to give too much away. Just listen, and hopefully enjoy.

Cheryl’s coming back sometime soon to talk about UFO’s UFO statistics and most importantly, UFOs and the Woo…….

As always, here is the list of books we discussed as well as a listing of Cheryl’s books.

The Spiral Dance by Starhawk
Women Who Fly by Serinity Young
Magickal Musings of a Rogue Witch by Cheryl Costa
The UFO Beat by Cheryl Costa
UFO Sightings Desk Reference: United States of America 2001-2020 by Cheryl Costa
UFOs in Ohio and Where to Find Them by Cheryl Costa—there are also 49 more titles in this series, one for each state.

A note about the books: The Desk Reference is full of analysis of sightings from both the MUFON and NUFORC databases—and it is amazing. It’s all facts and figures and tables and charts, so it’s not a reading book—it is literally for researchers who want some crunched data. Here it is, crunchy as a bowl of Grape Nuts…..but more useful.

The UFO Beat is the opposite of the Desk Reference. Here, Cheryl gives stories that came from the data, in all their narrative glory. This is a fun book to read—but do understand, most of the stories in it come from New York, because she was writing for a small New York State weekly paper.

I’ve only had a chance to glance at the Magickal Musings of a Rogue Witch, but what I saw looked plenty good. I’ll write a review and post it on Amazon after I’ve read it.
