On this episode of the podcast we are joined by Salma of Bayt Zuhal (House of Saturn). We begin with a deep dive into Gnawa culture and ceremony, as well as how it compares with other traditions in Morocco and elsewhere. As apart of this exploration we get into the various spirit categories of the Gnawa Lila ceremony. After speaking a little bit about Sufism, we move into discussing more about Salma's personal journey as well as the notion of 'Ancestral Futurism,' so emphasized by her House of Saturn platform. This last portion can be found on Patreon with the full episode.
