S3 Ep4: Community Folk Magic with Donyelle Headington
I am so thrilled to have Donyelle Headington, local Minneapolis folk ways practitioner, on the podcast! Donyelle Headington is the founder and lead practitioner of Folkway LLC, a living sanctuary where ancestral traditions, community care, and healing justice converge. Donyelle was raised within African American and Northern/Eastern European families and co-raised by a Colombian family. That mix taught her that food, story, and ceremony bind us back to ourselves.
Her practice blends sacred listening, Curanderismo, spiritual herbalism, African Diasporic wisdom, Afrocentric Kemetic studies, and Norse Germanic wise woman ways (Völva Stav). She also work across traditions as an invited guest in a Mesoamerican Indigenous tradition. Donyelle is a practicing healer and folk magician based in Minneapolis, MN.
In this episode, we talk about balancing different folklore traditions, creating community spaces, and ancestor work as liberation.

Cultural Appropriation and Exploring Practices Outside Your Lineage
Cultural appropriation is a challenging topic in the occult community, and it is also a topic that is incredibly nuanced. It's important to understand why cultural appropriation happens, what it looks like, and how to avoid it. It's also important not to silo our experiences, to segregate ourselves from other areas of the pagan community. In this episode Siri goes deep on these nuances and helps listeners understand their importance.
