Welcome to another volume of our Halloween series, Somewhere in the Spooky Skies! This episode, we sit down with for an in-depth conversation with occultist and witch, Sarah Lyons. For someone like me, my knowledge of witches begins and ends with a green-skinned woman either cackling and melting away or belting about defying gravity on Broadway... so Sarah is here to set things straight and navigate us through the complex history of witches, the nature of rituals and practices, and the fascinating and crucial connections between witches and politics/activism. Oh... and we talk UFOs as well! Sarah Lyons is a writer, activist, occultist, and witch. She is the author of the book “Revolutionary Witchcraft, a Guide to Magical Activism” from Running Press. Sarah has been practicing magic for over a decade, and has been deeply involved in New York City’s occult scene for years. She was the witch in residence for Vice, where she had a weekly tarot-based web series, and her writing has appeared in Teen Vogue, Vice, Broadly, Slutist, Fusion, Dirge Magazine, and Dear Darkling. In addition to writing and witchcraft, Sarah is also an organizer with the New York City Democratic Socialists of America.
