| Ep. 48: Altars | 12 Aug 2024 | 00:35:04 | |
ALTARS! What is an altar exactly? How have different cultures in ancient times used them? And how can I make one for myself? Well, this is the episode for you (cheesy, I know). I had a lot of fun and enjoyment researching this episode. It was also a blast to record. There is some mild swearing in this one - at least one F bomb is dropped and it's early on, so listener discretion is advised. | |||
| Ep. 47: Pachamama, Andean goddess of fertility and the Earth | 05 Aug 2024 | 00:26:46 | |
• Just in time for Lughnasadh/Lammas! Pachamama is an earth fertility goddess who comes from the Andean culture down in South America. She is one of many earth deities known to man and has survived even the Spanish colonization of South America. Pachamana is still worshiped and venerated today in Peru, Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador, Columbia, and northern Argentina.

| Sabbat Spooks 8: The Island of Dolls | 29 Jul 2024 | 00:33:52 | |
• In the canals of south Mexico City rests an island that features hundreds of dolls hanging from trees, building structures, bushes, and any other place imaginable. These dolls, which are in varying degrees of decay, are said to watch visitors who come to the island. Offerings are brought to appease the dolls, as well as to ask for blessings and miracles. But what's the history of this island? What's the legend that has made this place such a popular tourist attraction? Listener beware; you're in for a scare...

| Pod-birth Special: Spirit Communication Session with Jen White | 24 Jul 2024 | 01:18:30 | |
In honor of the first-year anniversary - pod-birth, if you will - I wanted to do something special for me and for you, my wonderful listeners who have given me so much support. I went to Jen at Sacred Moon Circle Apothecary (SMCA) for a Spirit Communication session. Trigger warning: what is discussed in this special episode is very personal and delves into topics that may not be suitable for all audiences. Listener discretion is advised.

Here it is! The last sabbat we'll be covering on the show. As a June baby (20th!), this is a sabbat close to my heart and the one I'm mostly related to. It's the longest day, a time for the sun, for fire, and for celebrating light and life!

| Ep. 34: Hekate. goddess of witchcraft and magick | 08 Apr 2024 | 00:36:53 | |
• She's here! The goddess of witchcraft, magick, the night, necromancy, and crossroads has arrived. Her mythos is both alluring and chilling at times. Hekate can be both delicate and terrible, but one thing holds true: she is power. The one honored above all others by Zeus himself.

| EP. 54: Low-Energy Daily Practice Schedule | 23 Sep 2024 | 00:37:47 | |
As someone who has depression and anxiety, it's hard to focus on things or find the motivation or drive to do much of anything. That makes me feel bad and like I'm failing as a witch, and I don't like that. No one should be made to feel bad about something they can't control. So, I made for myself a low-energy weekly schedule that uses the energies of the individual days of the week to help me stay connected to my witch-ness. And I wanted to share it with you all to help give inspiration or comfort to those of you also in the same boat as me. If you have any other small, daily practices that you enjoy doing and that help you feel connected and whole, feel free to share them! | |||
