They talk about the album cover, the process of recording the album, and the stories behind some of the tracks. SJ shares her experiences in the music industry and the importance of community support. The conversation highlights the journey of a young artist finding her voice and creating music that resonates with her audience. Haphazard is an album that holds a special place in SJ Tucker's heart, as it represents her journey as a musician and her connection to the pagan community. The album features songs that reflect her experiences and emotions, from the story of Inanna and Ereshkigal in 'Crystal Cave' to the empowerment anthem 'Stick It'. SJ shares the stories behind each song, including the influence of her dear friend and collaborator, Catherynne Valente. The album captures Tucker's growth as an artist and her commitment to authenticity and self-expression.

You may have noticed that we, the hosts of the Wigglian Way podcast, went through a challenging period in which our Coven broke up, and we then faced various health and mental health issues. 

As a result, our attitude towards public paganism and ceremony declined, and we did not have the energy or vision for it. However, as we are starting to heal from our physical and mental health issues, our attitude is changing, and we are getting back to our previous selves, where we want to engage in the community again.
