Dani Fernandez (comedian/host with some real Bruja blood in her!) joins us as we shed some tears for swipe culture, learn what it’s like to be attracted to nice guys (say what?!), and realize it’s time for more male allies to help in women’s fight for respect. Woof! Leah and Rach are both heart-tired regarding the #MeToo movement and from being *trick*-or-treated into dates disguised as business meetings. In closing, we give Dani (@msdanifernandez) a Goddess Oracle Card reading where one of our fav Goddesses makes a comeback to encourage her.

In a Basic Witches first, Rach and Leah are accidentally totally stoned, but still manage to converse about the power of music, the long-game of creative careers, and the magical unknown with our guest, the insanely talented beatboxer/live-looper, Box of Beats (Brandon Martinez). B.O.B. (not the one that believes the Earth is flat) tells us how surrendering to life makes magic happen and that no one is ever supposed to understand this ish. The mega-musican blesses us with his dope AF beatboxing, but in closing, we bless him with a Goddess Oracle Card reading.

*Warning: Do not listen to this sitting down or driving because you will want to DANCE YOUR FACE OFF.*

Just call out her name, and you know wherever you are, she’ll come cuddlin’: it’s Pro Witch and Pro Cuddler, Christina Hepburn! From Christina’s cuddle sesh with The Hill’s Speidi (yes, that Speidi) to corn making hornets work for them (yaaas, corn!), we’ve got the birds and the bees covered in this episode. We'll learn about “heart hugs”, “dry willies”, and how spooning is like, sooo mainstream. After Christina, Rachel, and Leah’s on-air hand orgy, they chat about consent as it applies to cuddling and how if our society was more comfortable with touch, men & women could be better platonic friends. In closing, Christina (@chrihepburn) gets a very peaceful Goddess Oracle Card reading. You're gonna heal - er, hear* - all about it!

Alison Rich: Harvard grad, actor/writer, and… Scientology tourist? In this hot hot ep, we dive into the magic of not knowing, intuitive eating, and Rach & Leah each define what being a “witch” means to them. After being “dream-adjacent” at a little show called Saturday Night Live, Alison walks us through her journey of getting and losing that job and yet, it was all for her maximum benefit. And don’t worry - we finally revisit Rachel’s break-up and she somehow ends up passing along some good, tangible dating advice! In closing, Rachel & Leah give Alison (@alisonrich123) a Goddess Oracle Card reading.
