Between the pages of winter, Mother Deer raised her horns, and the doorway to the stars hinged open.
In episode 6 of the Pointy Hat Press Podcast, Kristin Lisenby & Caitlyn Barone discuss deer folklore, antlered crowns, and the wonderings that inspired their Little Witch Tale, The Deer Mother. They contemplate reindeer, horns, and hoofed women like the Cailleach, Frau Holle, and Artemis.
“The thing is - the greats never go by one single name.” She booped the deer's nose. “Names shapeshift, and what we call someone today is nothing more than a prelude within an endless trilogy. The best characters, the greats, are always changing.”
In episode 5 of the Pointy Hat Press podcast, hosts Kristin Lisenby & Caitlyn Barone narrate The Deer Mother, an original fairy tale from the Little Witch Books library.

What does it mean to ‘tell the bees?’
Many moons ago, magick was part of everyday life. Bees brewed honey and pollinated flowers, but they also worked as household psychopomps, fuzzy messengers that carried our stories between worlds.
Back then, bees were not mere insects but divine couriers, and upon reaching important milestones, families toasted their good fortune with the hive. The buzzing might go on for days (the bees loved any excuse for a party), but once the hoopla died down, a team of pollinators would set out for lands unseen and deliver meaningful news to spirits long gone.
Chapter 4: Literary Spellcraft
Saison 1 · Épisode 4
vendredi 27 décembre 2024 • Durée 52:26
In episode 4 of the Pointy Hat Press Podcast, hosts Kristin Lisenby & Caitlyn Barone discuss literary spellcraft, the power of words, and the altars built from our creativity. They suggest writing can be a doorway to the unconscious, and dismiss the idea of proper spelling, grammar, and literary ‘rules’ according to our education systems. They contemplate channeled writing, singing as a spell, and collaborating with muses via our dreamscapes. They reimagine creative acts as heart-centered quests and suggest that literary magick can be as simple as carrying the intention that books, poetry, and chosen words are spells and portals for creation.
No longer tethered to the earth, what will you find in the land of the birds? In episode 3 of the Pointy Hat Press Podcast, hosts Kristin Lisenby & Caitlyn Barone discuss raven folklore, bird wisdom, and the riddles that inspired their latest Little Witch Tale, The Witch & the Raven. They contemplate the power of our dreams and what-ifs, share some of their recent reads, and try their hand at bird-shaped riddle from Lewis Carroll, ‘why is the raven like a writing desk?’
