42: Witch in Darkness, Shadow Work, and Spiritual Activism: A Conversation with Kelly-Ann Maddox
Welcome to The Violet Vulture!
In this episode, I’m joined by Kelly-Ann Maddox (she/her). Kelly-Ann is an award-winning professional cardslinger, spiritual counsellor, witchcraft mentor, best-selling author. She specialises in sovereign spirituality, chaos magick, shadow work and self-love.
In this episode, we'll get into the following and then some:
- Rebel Witch, KAM’s first book and the impact it’s had on witches of all ages
- We talk the overlap and differences in our experiences with Catholicism and how this bleeds into other identities
- Community connection, upheaval, the small but tangible signs of gentrification and impending displacement, and nefarious magick
- How collective action against systemic oppression is a moral imperative for all spiritual practitioners and advice on how to move from inaction to something that’s sustainable for you
- What we tend to get wrong about shadow work culturally as it has become more of a buzzword in recent year, Emmy’s favorite shadow work experience and question, and the nuance of cancel culture vs. accountability
- Witch in Darkness: Magick for Tough Times, Bad Days and Moments of Total Catastrophe, KAM’s upcoming second book, and the heart and life experience poured into making it what it is now
If you're ready for a conversation between two Sag Sun/Virgo Moon/Air Risings that’s radical, political, challenge, and full of heart, this one is for you.
