We explore her links to biology, sexuality, desire, queerness, and -of course- witchcraft. Sasha also speaks about some of her idiosyncratic practices wit...
I have gotten quite a few comments on this short essay and reading from 2020. It has been floating in the Abzu of the starnightdwell channel for a year or so now, but in the spirit of the time (Mercury Rx) I thought it would be nice to bring it back. In summary, it is a meditation on the nature of the imagination through the lens of two waters intermingling (or not?).
