In this episode, we're kicking off season 8 and the witchiest month of the year with a corvid conversation. We talk all about the myth and science behind what makes crows and ravens so witchy. Join Elyse in an interview with Rick de Yampert, author of the new book "Crows and Ravens: Mystery, Myth, and Magic of Sacred Corvids".

Rick de Yampert is a Florida resident and long-time journalist who spent twenty-three years as the arts and entertainment writer for the Daytona Beach News-Journal. He presents workshops and performs on sitar and Native American flutes at Pagan festivals in the Southeast, and in Unitarian Universalist churches. Rick has studied Hindu sacred sound, shamanic drumming, Goddess worship, Taoism, and more. His crow art has been displayed at galleries and art festivals around Florida.
