  • Lovely way to start off the month

    I adore this show. I listen to it at the beginning of the month to start it off on the right foot and when to do certain rituals/cleanses during the month. Love the voices and advice/tips and tricks. Highly recommend adding this to your routine.

    Long time listener and friend of the show who has fallen behind in her listening. It is nearly May and I am now cozying up to Snake Festival. What a joy! These festival episodes are delightful gifts. Thank you NWW team!

  • Absolutely my favorite pagan podcast

    I have not gotten into many pagan podcasts, despite being very interested in the topic. This podcast is informative without being arrogant, lighthearted while dealing with big topics, and their dynamic is so cute & wonderful. I love their regular episodes, but I very much look forward to their almanac episodes as well.

  • Cozy vibes

    Love the coziness of this pod, and i especially love Cory’s voice.. probably one of the most soothing voices I’ve ever heard (and that’s coming from someone who listens to a lot of ASMR!). Cory, you could do some amazing ASMR !!💕
