Magical Realism, Pagan Symbolism in Fantasy, and Working Class Writing with Sarah Buhrman 2018-08-01T03:30:09-08:00 Sable Aradia

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

As part of my Kickstarter, I’ve been interviewing people who are doing things that relate to my project, a Paganesque hybrid of a post-apocalyptic sci-fi and Weird Western, with a dash of high fantasy and steampunk, called Once Upon a Time in the Wyrd West! Sarah Buhrman, whom I’ve mentioned before, and whom you probably know from the Pagan Musings Podcast, is also a Pagan fiction writer, author of the Runespells series. She joined me to chat about magical realism, Pagan symbolism in fantasy, and the challenges of being a working class writer. Here’s the video replay for you to enjoy! Please skip ahead to 10:45 to avoid the technical issues with the setup (I was trying to make a utility work that didn’t.)

If you’d like to watch book trailers for the separate parts of Once Upon a Time in the Wyrd West (originally released as an ebook serial,) click here. If you’d like to watch the whole series of interviews for the Wyrd West Telethon, click here.

As of today, I have three and a half days left to fund the Kickstarter or the 109,700 word large-size print trade paperback will not happen! You can pre-order and support the book, or just check out the page and then decide, by clicking on the teaser graphic below. There are other rewards offered at lower tiers, too. Thanks for your support!
