    Totally out of touch honestly. The host talking about her second house and guests talking about spending the summer in Paris really hits different when a lot of us are never going to be able to own a home. The host seems like a kid raised by academics, in comfort, never worrying about how to survive, and you can hear it. Such self indulgent screeds is extremely off-putting and uninformative about actual witchcraft- which belonged to the powerless for centuries. This is hepster craft at its worst... more

    Love the show! Just wanted to mention that I just couldn’t find my way into Emily Dickinson until I watched the Apple TV show with Hailee Steinfeld. Hope this can help you, too!

    My previous review was removed. Wonder why. Do not like the sense of being out of touch with the more earth-bound witchy folk- the host talking about her second house is a turn-off when some of us can never even entertain the idea of owning a home. In the episodes i listened to it sounded like the guests swallowed the DSM-5, talking in pseudo-self-help speak I find really ill suited to this context.

  • ten episodes in, have reservations

    Loved this in the beginning, and maybe it was just the guests I was hearing. But increasingly its interviews with people I cannot relate at all to, who are knee deep in therapy speak like they swallowed the entire DSM-5. If i hear the term "holding space" one more time....or guests who talk about going to Paris at 13 or their second house. People are struggling hard out here and it just seems like it lives in its own bubble outside of real life. Which is a real shame. As a witch i'd like MORE re... more
