Join us in this episode, for an intriguing conversation with Witch, Author, and Tarot Card Reader: Judika Illes! Judika is a lifelong student, lover and practitioner of the magical arts. She is the author of several books on Witchcraft, spells, and spirits, including the best selling: Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells and Encyclopedia of Spirits, Pure Magic, Daily Magic, Encyclopedia of Witchcraft and her latest book: Witches, A Compendium. Judika is a professional tarot card reader as well as an Aromatherapist. She is a native New Yorker and Judika teaches in the US and internationally online and in person.
Judika tells us how she grew up being a magical person and an avid reader. She learned to read at age 3 as an only child. Her family read quite a bit too. Her mother loved fairy tales and read them to her. Judika always identified with the Witch. Her mother also had admiration for the Witches. We chat about TV shows such as Bewitched and The Adams Family and some of the shows that Judika watched growing up. She was impressed with the TV Witches such as Samantha and Morticia. They were contemporary Witches that fueled Judika’s passion and interest for Witchcraft. She remembers reading Sybil Leek’s “Diary of a Witch” and seeing Sybil on TV and she made a big impression on Judika when she was young.
Eventually Judika started looking for a publisher. One of them liked her chapter on magic spells but turned down her manuscript. Judika expanded this into what eventually became “Earth Magic” , her first of many published books. Her book Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells changed everything for Judika.
We discuss Judika’s newest book: Witches A Compendium and how she describes it as a love letter to Witches and Witchcraft. She explores the diversity and celebrates historical, famous, literary, movie/TV Witches with this amazing book. Clearly, the word Witch means a lot of different things to different people. Judika believes that a Witch is ultimately about power and independence no matter what type of Witch a person is.
