  • Just so good.

    I’m so happy I stumbled onto this podcast a few months ago. Every episode is a joy to listen to, and Victoria is an excellent host. If you’re a nerd who’s interested in both witchcraft and the writing process, this is literally THE PERFECT podcast. The episodes absolutely fly by, too. That’s when you know it’s good!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Via Hedera
Q: Why did you choose this book?
Via discussed her background in North American folk witchcraft and how the book encapsulates the magic transmitted through childhood interactions.
Awyn Dawn (Season 8)
Q: What advice would you give someone to use the book if one of the issues they're trying to resolve is feeling disconnected from their body or sexual intimacy?
Be prepared that it's going to take a little time and that the spells will require repetition to see progress.
Ron Padrón
Q: Why did you choose this book?
Ron mentions that the book had a significant impact on his decision to pursue painting and ministry, as well as the evolution of his ideas on spiritual activism.
Alice Markham-Cantor
Q: What do you think, if anything, do contemporary witches, who identify as witches, owe to those people who are not witches of any kind, but were accused and executed?
People who are taking on and stepping into that name, that legacy, should pay attention and show solidarity with the most vulnerable and divergent in society today.
Davezilla
Q: Our first question for everybody on the show, especially in this world of hot takes, and social media, and short attention spans, why still write books and make tarot decks in this context?
The tarot deck was something I wanted because there wasn't one that existed that had cryptids and Fortean phenomena.
