  • Beautifully human and inhuman

    Radical Elphame is one of the most thoughtful and poignant podcasts I've listened to. Chad is a gracious host and spins a web of connection and conversation that enchants, uplifts, and leads listeners to good questions. This is a must-listen for any curious karcists and anyone with a pull towards Fairy or experiences of Strangeness.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Embodying the Ancestors with Frankie Castanea (Chaotic Witch Aunt)
Q: Are we skipping important steps when we start calling our beloved dead ancestors without due process?
Castanea agrees that rituals around death and passage matter, and says communities could restore shared practices that help the dead become ancestors through remembrance, grief, and ongoing acts of care.
Embodying the Ancestors with Frankie Castanea (Chaotic Witch Aunt)
Q: What general advice would you give people in the diaspora who want to connect with ancestral magical practices in a good way?
Castanea recommends starting with the culture of the diaspora, finding community and elders, and approaching traditions through respectful dialogue, curiosity, and responsibility rather than expecting complete agreement.
Macha's Harvest with Morgan Daimler
Q: Do you see The Wild Hunt as initiatory on a spiritual level for encountering something supernatural?
Yes, there is a strong initiatory undertone in many stories, where respectful or helpful encounters lead to blessings or rewards, while offending the hunt can bring serious consequences; the initiatory aspect is especially pronounced in witch traditions and German folklore.
Macha's Harvest with Morgan Daimler
Q: What is The Wild Hunt?
The Wild Hunt is a broad genre of airborne spirits often accompanied by hounds and a hunter, with manifestations that vary by culture; it's not a single entity but a spectrum of beings tied to seasonal cycles and liminal spaces.
Bigfoot is My Witchfather with Robyn Valentine
Q: What has becoming a parent affected that practice for you in terms of prioritization and what type of magic is important now?
Parenthood shifted priorities toward practical, protective magic and redefined how and when I engage in rituals, emphasizing efficiency and energy management while maintaining depth, intimacy, and responsible practice within a busy family life.
