Occulture en PodcastL’Affaire des Sorcières de SalemLa célèbre affaire des Procès des Sorcières de Salem, qui s'est déroulée dans une petite ville des États-Unis proche de Boston à la fin du XVIIème siècle, revient souvent comme une référence en thermes de chasse aux sorcières. Pourtant cette histoire diffère des chasses ayant pu se produire sur le vieux continent et de nombreuses théories existent pour expliquer les phénomènes de "tourmentes", de crises et d'accusations de sorcellerie qui aboutirent à un grand nombre d'arrestation et plus dramatiquement à la mort de 29 personnes.

It was an appropriate theme there, because of the time of the year, and I still think it's appropriate here in the northern hemisphere because we're right in the middle of winter, which, if you deal with such seasons, you get it.

She's got a new book of poetry out now called Scorpio, which has garnered some really nice press recently. I think the poems mimic the persona of the astrological sign of Scorpio, the traits and characteristics present in those of us born from October 23 to November 21.
