S15 Ep147: The Interview: Sally Smith- The Magic of Amazonian Forest Gods (and other tales!)

Sally is both captivating and intelligent, and both of these traits shine through as she regaled me with multiple stories of magic! Including:



1. How she learned that magic was a VERY REAL THING in the Amazon,

2. How Our Lady of Guadalupe is a very potent healing force,

3. And finally, that the Forest Trickster, Chullachaqui, is alive and well, and looking for those he can lead off into the jungle! 



I suspect Sally's superpower is her sense of humor, because one of her tales comes with a trigger warning...but still, she laughs and reflects on the lesson learned in that encounter~and I think that humor and awe might be what saves us in the end...but Sally is already there, out in front, showing that with both of these traits, even the most mysterious happenings can be faced with grace! (and then shared, so that others can learn as well!)



Please consider rating and reviewing the pod, it means so very much to me!
