Tips for the Summer Witch

Unlike today's Capricorn Full Moon, this episode of Witchspace podcast asks you to get a little child-like as we explore our tips for a witchy summer! This episode is fun and fancy free, with our hosts discussing how they plan to spend the incredibly hot summer months. But don't worry, Gemini is still shook by Scorpio's insight, as per usual! 

Buddhist Magic, by Sam van Schaik

Though this isn't quite a "witch book", there's a ton to discuss in Sam van Schaik's anthropological text on Buddhist magic! Our hosts run the gamut of practical, historical, philosophical and theological commentary. Just don't use this episode as a drinking game where you take a shot every time Gemini says "context" 😵 

Meditation

What's up witches! Do you meditate? Gemini and Scorpio discuss some of the different types of meditation, from the expected (like transcendental mantra meditation) and the not so much (like hexing!). And of course, Gemini has her mind blown again, because that seems to be the theme of this season! Happy Sagittarius Super Moon! 

Coby Michael, A Witch In Time

You'd think a book called The Poison Path Herbal would lead to a somber, macabre discussion, but then you clearly wouldn't be thinking about a discussion between Gemini and Scorpio! Our intrepid hosts discuss Coby Michael's recent book with vim, vigor and lots of laughs (though there are certainly some morbid moments). Are you ready to walk down the poison path with us? 

Aging and the Craft

This moon, Scorpio and Gemini reflect on their personal relationships to aging in the craft and how society can (and does) shape the way we grow, both as individuals and as a witch community. Whether you're a maiden, mother, or a crone, this episode asks us to consider what aging means to us and how we do or do not represent age in our practice!

Nicholaj De Mattos Frisvold, A Witch In Time

If you've never heard of Nicholaj Frisvold or of the African diasporic religion Palo Mayombe, this New Moon, New Book episode will be full of new knowledge and culture. Our hosts discuss the history and development of the religion, as well as the ways mainstream culture has demonized Palo and its sister practices. Following on the heels of the Full Moon episode, there's discussion of mediumship, possession and some fun asides about cool feats Scorpio would like to try with birds! 

Psychics and Mediums

Inspired by this month's New Moon, New Book, Scorpio and Gemini dive into the realm of psychics and mediumship, but don't worry! They also discuss such beloved topics as "Capitalism is a plague", "your kid might be weird but that's okay" and "we really need to do an episode about aging in the craft". You might not come out of this episode with a concrete definition of a psychic, but you will certainly understand the foundation our hosts are working with as they try to work these concepts out for themselves. 

Laurie Cabot, A Witch In Time

What's up witches and welcome to the astrological new year! For this Aries New Moon, our hosts tackle Power of the Witch, by Laurie Cabot, prolific and famous Official Witch of Salem. This book gets rave reviews and sparks some interesting conversations about gender and child-rearing, as well as our regularly scheduled segment, Gemini wants to fistfight Gerald Gardner! 

Mixing Traditions

What's up witches and welcome to another of Gemini's existential crises! Think of this podcast as "Wicca Plus", as our hosts discuss how they have mixed traditions and what mixing traditions with Wicca might look like in the future. Also, throw in some "time is a construct" and "non-judgement is harder than it looks" for an unexpectedly deep episode for the Virgo Full Moon! 

Philip Carr-Gomm, A Witch In Time

We had a fun time with this one, witches. The March ✨New Moon, New Book✨ is Philip Carr-Gomm's Druid Mysteries, a book that spawned so many conversations, we couldn't possibly fit them into one episode!
