In episode one of this two part series, Coraley sits down with Mirey Faema, Registered Clinical Counsellor, and Avery Hubert, University Instructor, to deconstruct the concept of the "too much" woman. How does the messaging of being too much show up in society, professional environments and in interpersonal relationships?

This episode delves into some big topics: feminism, harm done by patriarchal systems, privilege, micro-aggressions and the shifting expectations of gender norms - but the undercurrent of the conversation remains the same - perspective shapes how we interact with the world. And perspective has the power to transmute our lived experience and how we show up for others.

Episode two of our three-part mini-series on Canadian witchcraft examines what shaped witchcraft in the aftermath of the witch trials of New France. Rather than disappear, witchcraft went domestic, as it did in other countries where the old ways were forced to hide in plain site. Over time, as attitudes toward non-christian ways of thinking softened, the craft began to weave itself into the mainstream again, with some distinctly Canadian practices, such as Odyssian Wicca, emerging. Canada is also the home of the first Canadian church of witchcraft, The Wiccan Church of Canada, which helped to further push pagan practices out of the realm of hidden familial or cultural belief into accepted, publicly digestible, spiritual systems.

In the sleepy stretch of the season, we enter The Lull Between — a soft pause, a breath, a moment to gather what the first half of the journey has offered. This mid-season recap is part reflection, part grounding, and part reminder that slowing down is also a kind of magic.

If you’re moving through your own quiet season, you’ll find something here: clarity, conversation, and a little witch-lit warmth to carry you forward.

Founding Shadows begins a special three-part mini-series on the hidden history of witchcraft in Canada.
