I've been struggling to start this thing I want to do for several years now. And what time but the present to finally get started, I guess. I might go into my history someday. It doesn't really feel like the tone I want to set right in the beginning, and it's just all too close right now. But the punchline is that I've had a real rock bottom kind of year, and if I don't do something for myself that makes me happy, I'm going to stop doing anything at all.
I'm a pagan, but I have never really been a part of the community in any way. I wanted to start Spirit Rapping because I was getting frustrated looking for pagan podcasts and content. To me, they mostly feel either dense and inaccessible, or too fluffy and light on context. I steer clear of stuff like WitchTok and Witchstagram generally - not a fan of how much science-denying "wellness" content I see on a lot of these accounts. It's a topic for another day, but it's just never feel like it's intended for me.
I want Spirit Rapping to be a general catchall for discussion about anything spooky, spiritualist, paranormal or horror. Movie reviews, research discussions, paranormal investigations, cultural debate, cryptid hunting, legend tripping, whatever. Everyone is welcome here, regardless of faith or association. Your choices and beliefs are valid and accepted here, as long as they aren't harming yourself or others in any way. (But I reserve the right to define and justify what that means.)
Coming soon, a very belated and probably rambling run-down of this year's 31 for 31. This is the first year I've actually made it through all 31, with a little bonus content to boot. I'm glad I'm here, I'm glad you're here. I'm Molly Coffin. Hope you enjoy the ride. ✌
