Mom's Strange Magic - The Podcast
Welcome to Mom's Strange Magic. Welcome to Mom's Strange Magic, hosted by Kim Upton, a lifelong wanderer in folk ways and old spiritual traditions.
Think of this as a digital hearth. A place to slow down, hear a story, and maybe find yourself in it. You'll find topics ranging from the old ways of community care, to the things your ancestors carried, to the parts of yourself that don't fit neatly anywhere else.
