  • "audio-only" should be the default

    "For an audio-only version of this podcast, head on over the spotify." No, that means listening to people talk to each other about what they can see, which is pretty ableist and also annoying. If your podcast is just the audio track of your video program, get it off my podcast feed.

  • Great Podcast

    I often have a hard time listening to magick based podcasts. They often feel overly rehearsed, almost fake in the way they’re being portrayed, but this podcast is nothing like that. It’s very human, feels conversational, without rules. I find myself coming back to this one over and over again.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Exploring Hecate, Queen of the Witches, Goddess at the Crossroads w/ Irisanya Moon
Q: What practical steps can someone take to begin working with Hecate?
Start with source texts, build a simple altar, consider safe, respectful offerings, and explore the Greek Magical Papyri for historical context while adapting practices to avoid harm.
Exploring Hecate, Queen of the Witches, Goddess at the Crossroads w/ Irisanya Moon
Q: How do you approach the idea that Hecate is not just a crone or a fixed archetype?
I emphasize her multiplicity and the idea that myths are living stories; I focus on relational magic and the ways she interfaces with everyday life rather than enforcing a single 'correct' image.
Exploring Hecate, Queen of the Witches, Goddess at the Crossroads w/ Irisanya Moon
Q: What drew you to work with Hecate in the first place?
I was drawn to her as a dark, yet deeply wise and liminal figure who constantly moves between worlds; she's not easily categorized, which makes her relatable for a flexible, modern practice.
Is Herne the Hunter Really an Ancient God? w/ Andrew Anderson
Q: What role does Windsor and the oak play in the Herne tradition?
Windsor provides the geographic anchor for Herne's legend through the Oak and the forest setting, with the oak of Herne sometimes misattributed or reinterpreted over time, illustrating how place and artifact shape myth.
Is Herne the Hunter Really an Ancient God? w/ Andrew Anderson
Q: How do Shakespearean interpretations affect the understanding of Herne?
Shakespeare's depictions, especially in the Merry Wives of Windsor and later folio texts, mix stagecraft with myth, creating a frame in which Herne can be read as both a real figure and a symbolic force, but the exact origins remain debated and complex.
