Greeting’s heathens and witches,
Welcome to Pub Chat! These episodes are for us to have a more free-form way to discuss listener questions, shorter subjects, as well as magical happenings, musings, and of course, go off on tangents.

Yule is celebrated from November through January with parties, feasts, decorations, and presents! In modern times, Santa is synonymous with the Yule season, so it’s fitting that we look at a Santa movie and discuss it!

Samhain is third and final harvest festival, which takes place on the October 31 (April 30 southern hemisphere), which is about halfway between the autumn equinox and the winter solstice. It’s a time for mute dinners, dumb suppers, costumes, trick or treating, jack-o-lanterns, divination, bonfires, and all that fun Halloween stuff.
When you think of Halloween or Samhain you probably think of the full moon at night. The moon has been of the more romanticized and popular focal points for magic throughout time. It waxes and wanes, sometimes disappearing entirely. Furthermore, sometimes it’s out during the day!
In this episode, we’ll be discussing the magical properties of the moon, its cycles, and how you can use them in your practice. We also provide correspondences, discuss our experiences with lunar magic, and go on some fun tangents!
Pub Chat: The Abramelin Ritual - A Dark Song (2016) Review

Greeting’s heathens and witches,
Welcome to Pub Chat! These episodes are for us to have a more free-form way to discuss listener questions, shorter subjects, as well as magical happenings, musings, and of course, go off on tangents.
In this week's Pub Chat we decided to analyze the Abramelin Ritual as it’s presented in the 2016 horror movie, A Dark Song. Not unlike Magic in Media, this review and discussion will go into what the movie presents with regard to its plot and the ritual and compare that to the history and magical structures that we know and understand. So, grab yourself something to drink and join us for a spooky season themed discussion… Ohh, and fear not, there is much vamping and many side quests!
Also, yes there was some sort of card error in my camera which corrupted the video files, so no video for most of this one. Sorry about that but you still get to listen to us at least! lol
