As we are halfway through the waning sun cycle - halfway to the Winter Solstice, Yule, Return of the Sun WHERE IS THE LIGHT!? Well - it is a great time for Candle Magic. But seriously Candle Magic is always in season.

Today we talk about our obsession of candles themselves but also some candle magic.

*Disclaimer / Fire Safety!

When burning candles or using any flame PLEASE practice fire safety. Have water or a fire extinguisher or if you are using oil have baking soda, sand or dirt close by you as it will act similar to a kitchen fire.

Such a complicated issue. Or is it? Well listen and find out!

There are conflicting sources and definitely a whole big bag of opinions... ah opinions - everyone has one. Including us!

Detta started as a Wiccan and is moving toward Irish Witchcraft ( but still loves and uses a lot her Wiccan roots). Corey has done some research on Wicca over the years as she has deepened her life as a witch. We discuss this, share what we love share what we are critical of and as always encourage you to follow your instincts and let any judgements you may trip on - kick that rock out of your way and continue on the path YOU choose.

We would love to hear from you! What do you think? Do you practice Wicca? Do you practice Witchcraft? Do you practice both?

If you liked the show we hope you take the time to give us a review! Thanks for listening!

Wiccan Resources:

Authors:

Scott Cunningham ( anything he wrote )

The Witch's Bible - Janet and Stewart Farrar

Doreen Valiente - The Charge of The Goddess

78 Degrees of Wisdom: A book of Tarot - Pollock

AND yes - I (Detta) am going here people - she is controversial. Love or Hate or - like me - eh - conflicted- Silver Ravenwolf. I don't agree with all of her research or practices, but some are just fine.

Llewellen Books - the Witches Datebook, The Witches Almanac and so many more.

And most recently I started listening to

The Modern Guide to Witchcraft by Skye Alexander. I'll let you know what I think.

Six Women of Salem: The Untold Story of the Accused and Their Accusers in Salem -Roach

The Salem Witch Trials: A Day-by-Day Chronicle of a Community Under Siege

Storm Of Witchcraft - Baker

History of Witchcraft

Malleus Maleficarum - This is a condemnation of Witchcraft but gives you context for what women went through.

The Witch-Hunt in Early Modern Europe - Levack

The Visions of Isobel Gowdie: Magic, Witchcraft and Dark Shamanism in Seventeenth-century Scotland - Wilby

If you can get your hands on any of Máire MacNeill's work. Most is out of print. You can find some information on Jstor.org 

Throughout the rest of the season Detta will be providing some books titles over the next couple weeks that are specific to Irish Witchcraft, some history and lore for British, Scottish and Jewish - women and possibly witchcraft.
