  • Essential part of my practice

    I’ve been listening to Laylla and Chelle now for a few years and I feel like they’re the sisters I’ve never met! The podcast is heartwarming, informative, funny and so helpful to my overall well-being. Wether you’re a practicing witch with years of experience, just starting out, or just curious, I highly recommend this gem.

  • Love this podcast

    I listened to so many! I love that you have different opinions and don’t judge each other for it and you talk more about it instead of saying oh this is the right way don’t do it that way! I hope that makes sense 🤣

  • Always Returning

    I’ve listened for a bout a year now and thought about writing or sending stuff from time to time. Lets start with a review:

    You both are two amazing witches who also have some awesome stories to tell. The show guests and meditations are equally as enjoyable.

    Always returning to listen to the newest episodes plus dive into older ones.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

189: Pokémon, Pythons, and the Art of Divination with JoAnna Farrer
Q: When you do a tarot reading or any type of divination, and you get an answer that you're not expecting, what do you do?
She says to consider whether a situation is changeable, use the reading as one piece of information, and ask follow-up questions about alternative plans. She recalls a geomancy reading that advised her to stop a trip-related reading, which she ignored before the trip was canceled.
189: Pokémon, Pythons, and the Art of Divination with JoAnna Farrer
Q: Do you ever get divination in sheet music? Do you ever get divination in a tune or a melody? Does music provide any divination to you? And if so, how?
Farrer describes music as a possible channel for spiritual inspiration, including songs that feel channeled and spirits using a person's skills to communicate. She also discusses radio-based divination and overheard sounds.
177: Modern Heathenry with Ash Glasse
Q: What does true inclusiveness look like in modern heathenry? You are a part of the Troth organization, part of the board, and that is very inclusive. You know, and you've got the classes and the workshops. What's it like to be completely inclusive, totally inclusive in modern heathenry?
Glasse says inclusion means welcoming people regardless of race, sexuality or gender identity while recognizing that people have different needs. Communities should plan for accessibility and different viewpoints, while drawing a firm boundary against racist and Nazi ideologies.
177: Modern Heathenry with Ash Glasse
Q: Could you explain to us, Ash, what is modern heathenry? Most of our audience are witches, would describe themselves as witches or pagans. There are quite a few heathens in our audience. But for those that aren't, could you explain what is a modern heathen? What do they believe in short? And how is that different from, say, modern witchcraft?
Glasse describes modern Heathenry as a contemporary spiritual practice drawing on historical sources from Scandinavian and nearby regions. It can include magic and witchcraft, but is distinguished by its historical grounding, relationships with Norse gods and spirits, and often animistic worldview.
160: The Witches Answer - Hot Takes From the Cauldron
Q: Is it okay to do multiple spells in a short period, and could it be draining?
Yes, it can be draining if energy is expended in many directions; layering spells with a consistent direction can be effective, but avoid spreading energy too thin.
