John is also known by his shamanic name John Crow and is known to me from attending one of his repatterning workshops and watching him perform some of his poetry at The Find The Others Festival in 2014. He's always been someone I've wanted to invite on the podcast and reading his latest book became the opportunity I'd been waiting for. His story of becoming the custodian of Crossbones Graveyard and his relationship with the Goose and the 23 year magical working and now his move to Glastonbury is amazing. After you've heard the show trust me you'll want to buy the book and I've got to say it's one of the best books on magic I've ever read.

I invited my old friend Tabitha Bast onto the podcast so we could talk about her blog The Boys Are Alright. I subscribe to this and so receive her posts as a newsletter and I am fascinated by her feminist based approach to writing about boys and men and how she facilitates meaningful conversations around the issues man and boys face. She explains in our conversation her motivations for this work and how male issues are in some ways often overlooked. She also works as a relationships counsellor and so also talks about some things that help the lockdown weary with their relationships. Tabitha is a wonderful woman and friend, and I think that the container of our friendship adds a real quality this conversation.
