Description

Thorn Mooney is a religious studies PhD student at UNC Chapel Hill, an author, magical practitioner, and a witch. 

She also has a new book about witches and witchcraft, but this one is for non-practitioners. In her new book, Witches Among Us, Thorn “dispels common misconceptions while delving into what it means to be a witch, including beliefs and practices.” 

Heather Freeman did a YouTube live-streamed interview of Thorn on August 15th, 2024, where they talked about her book, being a magical practitioner in academic spaces, and how the language we use about magic, religion, and witchcraft has meaning and nuance.
