E100: Viking Witches with Genevieve Gornichec

Today I chat with Genevieve Gornichec about her Viking myth and history retellings, THE WITCH’S HEART and THE WEAVER AND THE WITCH QUEEN. I appreciate your patience waiting for this episode while I dealt with computer crashes and replacement, but I assure you it’s well worth the wait. We talk about these little known characters and why they remain relevant to our lives. We also chat about shield maidens and craft vs art throughout art history. It’s fascinating and I’m so happy I got to include her in my Month of Witches.
