S3 E8 Witch Dysmorphia?

You know when you;ve been unable to do any work on your path, for whatever reasons, and you start to feel like you're maybe not actually a witch anymore,... and you can't help but be surrounded by witches doing their craft all over the place? Posting videos of spell casting, jinx throwing, their altars, their rituals? You can't get away from it, and it just serves as a "brain weasel", telling you you're not a good enough witch... I thought we needed a word for that, so until we get one, I'm just...

S3 E4 F*CK THE PATRIARCHY

This is the raw audio. It is unedited! It's like when sitcoms from the 90s would do a live recording... anything can happen!

S2 E42 Witchcraft In The Broom Closet

I've always been so envious of the freedom my completely-out-of-the-broom-closet witch friends seem to enjoy. And while I know the grass is always greener on the other side, I know there are pitfalls and pratfalls for those witches who get to live out and proud, just as there are for those of us witches who have at least one foot in the broom closet. How valid are witches who have to practice from behind the broom closet door? Find me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter & TikTok Find Twisted.Twi...

Halloween was on October 31st, but Samhain - Astrologically - isn't until November 6th at 10:50pm Central US time this year.

Halloween on October 31st is not the same as Samhain. I mean, it is... but it isn't. This week, I take you through a brief, somewhat sketchy look at the History of the Halloween holiday, from its humble beginnings to its near ban due to muggings, and to now, which is all about the sweets, babes.
