Pointy Hat Press

In episode 16 of the Pointy Hat Press podcast, hosts Kristin Lisenby & Caitlyn Barone interview Jess Adams. Jess is a voice-trained word witch and musician whose creative work bridges the realms of craft and spirit, and explores the liminal space between verbal and non-verbal communication. In this conversation, Jess discusses tarot as a song and music as a way to play with mystery. He contemplates the faces of the High Priestess and the Magician, and explains why divination is a doorway to decorate time. Together, they venture into Horned God territory, where the journey of an artist is a reunion with our desires.
