S3, Episode 3: The Magic of Aging and Not Giving any F's

Season 3 · Episode 3

Monday, June 1, 2026 • Duration 49:31

Send us Fan Mail

Neva and Maria talk about how getting older reshapes witchcraft, spirituality, and identity from performance and aesthetics into something grounded, honest, and livable. Along the way, they unpack the millennial “witchy” era, call out common new age traps, and land on practices that help them hold both rage and love without bypassing themselves.

• aging as a shift from aesthetic to authenticity
• millennial witch starter pack nostalgia and the pressure to look witchy
• not giving a fuck as a spiritual upgrade
• nature connection through tree hugging, offerings, and garden meditation
• twin flames as a cover for toxic dynamics
• love and light as spiritual bypassing and why shadow work matters
• fury vs hate and learning where to put big emotions
• repeating numbers, signs, and assigning meaning with intention
• ethical questions around crystals and spiritual consumerism

S3, Episode 2: Would You Rather: Witchy Edition!

Season 3 · Episode 2

Monday, May 25, 2026 • Duration 46:28

Send us Fan Mail

Neva and Maria trade their usual deep dives for witchy would-you-rather chaos that somehow turns into real talk about truth, growth, and what actually supports a spiritual practice. Between haunted houses, glitter dilemmas, and shadow work, they keep coming back to the same point: choose what helps you move forward, not what looks perfect.

• choosing a truth-telling tarot deck over a gentle one
• ritual mishaps like candles tipping and forgetting a manifestation midstream
• incense vibes versus permanent glitter and what “sparkly” really costs
• mildly annoying ghosts versus constant inconvenient synchronicities
• why we pick a chaotic episode people love over “perfect” nobody hears
• naming perfectionism as a harmful mindset and choosing growth instead
• losing crystals versus losing tarot decks plus ethics and community support
• guides speaking in riddles versus memes and how we actually get messages
• shadow work as weekly practice and the therapy overlap
• working with moon cycles versus working with seasons and the pressure to keep up
• magic tied to emotions versus intention and why intention keeps us out of trouble
• cozy cottage witch versus chaotic urban alleyway witch and why we are both
• what brings us joy right now including plant babies, gardening, and rewriting old stories
• oracle card pull on sound healing, taking action, and letting the path unfold as you move

They discuss a variety of movies, characters, and themes, reflecting on the complex feelings that arose during their formative years relating to sexual orientation and identity.
