Ever walk into a crystal store and wonder, why tf is that crystal shaped like a heart? What does it mean if the crystal is pointy? Does getting a crystal that's the shape of a pyramid REALLY matter? Are crystal skulls just badass home decor, or do they have a specific purpose? G & E dive into crystal shapes and how to wield their power...for good, of course.

It's not news to anyone that G & E love animals, but are the beloved pets in their homes also familiars? The Crones discuss what (or whom) can be considered a familiar spirit based on conventional wisdom, historical documentation, and intuition. They explore the idea of the familiar spirit across cultures and their affiliation, if any, with elementals. G & E also introduce Phil, the newest member of Eliza's household. The conversation devolves into skepticism of the fae and inter-spiritual diplomacy.
