Episode Details

Don't let the title of tonight's show fool you!  I was pleased to meet Amanda Yates Garcia, known as the Oracle of Los Angeles, after she gave a presentation on the history of witchcraft at the mainstream and prestigious Hammer Museum in Los Angeles last month.  Amanda was initiated into witchcraft by her mother at age 13 and has been practicing magic and divination ever since.  A woman with an impressive resume who has managed to move freely and seemingly effortlessly within the mainstream garnering acceptance and admirers, she speaks to me tonight about her personal mojo and magical praxis which covers topics ranging from Love Spells to Money Magic and Psychic Self-Defense. She's the host of KCHUNG's Oracle Hour radio show, she leads a monthly mystery school, and she leads public rituals in very visible places like the Women's Center for Creative Work, Human Resources and Side Street Projects.  Yes, she lives in very liberal and "blue" Los Angeles, but I think she's stumbled on something and we'll get to the bottom of her success in our chat tonight!
