From Spellcasting to Podcasting: Life of a Teenage Witch

It's late morning and the sun is high over the tawny Austin suburbs when Viv Bennett wakes up to a world that is both totally mundane and totally magical. Two boys across the street are shooting hoops, and Bennett is downstairs with their 8-year-old brother watching TV. A few weeks into a post-high-school life of juggling online college, a part-time cafe job and other projects, Bennett is feeling anxious. So the teenager turns, on this late summer day, like on all days, to a spiritual routine that brings contentment, peace and a feeling of deep connection to something much larger.
