Our Special Guest Chris Bilardi

Join us for an amazing show centering on a topic almost lost to history, that of the theory and practice of Pow Wow. Pow Wow, or Braucherei, as it is known by its practitioners, is a system of folk magic that has its roots in Christian and Pre-Christian Germany, but its character is wholly American - the quintessential American magical system. The foremost expert in the area is Christopher Bilardi. He joins us tonight for an in-depth discussion on a fascinating subject. Mr. Bilardi is the author of The Red Church, or the Art of Pennsylvania German Braucherei (Pendraig Press, 2009)
