Rachel Khong’s 2024 novel Real Americans is a gorgeous and sweeping portrayal of an American immigrant family. It is also, in a sense, a novel about magick, about what it means to stop time, and about connections that reverberate across generations. Joining Rebecca as a voice in the river, Rachel explains her use of intuition in facing the blank page and her use of prayer in facing publicity, as well as how she relates to her ancestral past.

Starting from the Middle with Fia Skye
Rebecca has been collecting the offerings of artists and writers Fia and Kai Skye for many years, including art and writings from their studio, Flying Edna. One is a piece of reclaimed wood that carries the words: “You cannot believe in magick all you want, she said, but it's a lot like holding your breath for your whole life because you don't believe in air.” Fia and Rebecca talk about how words are tricky right now, what it might mean if we all saw trees as our aunts and uncles, and dancing naked under the moonlight.

Excavating Intuition with Archaeologist Dr. Smiti Nathan
Archaeologist and YouTuber Dr. Smiti Nathan helps us delight in the magick of the material past. While guided by the rigor of her discipline, her work also revolves around her intuition and her love of storytelling, as she illuminates untold and often undervalued histories. Smiti joins Rebecca to discuss her expansive approach to material history on her YouTube channel, the influence of her Hindu upbringing on her spirituality, and a vision of power that stems from kindness and community.

The Long Solstice with Katherine May
Rebecca begins our second season with an invitation for the winter solstice: to remind ourselves that while we are going into the darkness, we have the tools already inside of us, and outside of us in nature, to move us through.
She was inspired by our guest, Katherine May, and her book called Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times. Rebecca and Katherine talk about being allowed to feel the full spectrum of human emotion, searching for omens between solstice and the new year, and hummingbirds.
