  • I've listened to every episode. Sfinga, Key, and salt are unapologetically authentic in their approach to the occult and how it's a part of their everyday life. They embody what it means to truly have an animistic approach, and how doing so changes us. Come listen, be changed. A podcast this poignant is rare and refreshing. a hundred thanks!-Dancing 🦊
