In this week's episode, I have Bere Parra on the show to share her wisdom on something that's often misunderstood within the witchcraft community - Satanism and the LHP. Bere Parra is a Mexican theistic satanic witch. She majored in Hispanic Literature but her professional experience has been rather eclectic. She has innate and acquired strong knowledge of human nature and interest in the occult practices, which led to her 'coming out of the broom closet' in 2018. She mainly works with Satan, whom she considers her father figure and main guiding light, and in 2020 she’s also entered a close collaboration with Asmodeus. Her mission is to shine a light on the 'uncomfortable' truths and shadows, and to guide others into a life of pleasure and personal truth.

Anne-Solange Noble has been International Rights Manager at Gallimard since 1992. She was born and raised in Montreal, Canada and graduated from McGill University in Hispanic Literature. After spending two years in Mexico she went to Paris where she studied International Relations at the Institut d'Études Politiques de Paris. In 1985 she landed a job in rights negotiations with Flammarion. Seven years later she moved to Gallimard to do the same thing, and has been there ever since. Recently her focus has been on licensing English-language rights for Gallimard fiction and non-fiction to American and British publishers. We met at her offices in the Rive Gauche district of Paris to talk about her role, and the obstacles she's faced selling into these English markets over the past three decades.
