Winter solstice is less than a month away, and what better way to celebrate our mid-season break than with a tale of a witch: one of the earliest symbols of feminism.
Today, hear the story of Sydney artist, counterculturist and occultist Rosaleen Norton.
Norton defied the norms of 1950s Australia to create revolutionary art and push others to expand their views of the world.
In this episode, you’ll learn about Norton’s unusual upbringing, how she used trances and sex magic to commune with higher beings and astral project, the meaning behind her distinctive artworks, and how she came to be known as the witch of Kings Cross.
Enjoy.

Bea Arthur: Golden Girl
In Hollywood, if you’re a woman older than 55, you’re practically invisible.
It’s a symptom of a broader societal problem, but in 1985, a show debuted starring three women, all over the age of 60.
The Golden Girls became a roaring success and helped redefine the role of older women in Hollywood. While Bea Arthur’s career hit new heights with the series, her love of storytelling and theatre began much earlier.
In this episode you’ll learn about Bea’s fight for success, how she discovered her trademark sense of humour and how her legacy lives on today.
Listen in.
