- Compelling and enjoyable
I recently came to Mancy and have been binging since the first episode. As someone who loves history, culture, and magic, this podcast hits the spot. If you love history of culture, this is for you even if you aren’t drawn to magic. If you’re interested in magic and spirituality, this is definitely for you. RJ and Elle are a dynamic duo and absolutely worth listening to.

Birthday cakes, for example, were part of an ancient ritual to appea... more
