In this enchanting episode, Emily and Kate are thrilled to welcome back the captivating Rose Aurora (she/her)—sorceress, faerie seer, and trollkvinne! This time, Rose takes us on a deeper journey into her magical world of trolldom, the ancient and powerful tradition of Scandinavian folk magic.
Rose unpacks the layers of the word “troll”—from its roots as a folk magic practice to its connection with supernatural beings. What exactly are trolls, how are they similar or different from elves, and why should we understand them to stay safe? Rose shares her wisdom on how trolldom as a practice and trolls, as supernatural entities, shape her practice and understanding of the mystical world.
Then Emily draws a card from her Winged Enchantment oracle deck for a special message for our listeners this week. Tune in for all the troll tea!
