Busted Broom

Everyone's rushing to Samhain, but the most potent magic of the season is happening right now. This is the forgotten time: the weird, quiet, liminal space after the Equinox but before the veil-ripping chaos.

Forget the aesthetic rush to the next holiday. This episode is about the real, hard work of the waning season. We dive into the unglamorous but crucial work of Maintenance Magic: clearing out the stagnant energy of summer, recharging your wards, and properly disposing of old spell remains.

This isn't about fluffy rituals; it's about Witchy Practicality. We show you how to use the quieter autumn dusk for simple Ancestor Listening and dream work, preparing you for the deep darkness ahead. Learn what you need to be doing now—like collecting the last viable herbs and stocking up your witch's toolkit—to ensure you survive the winter.

Your magic doesn't have to run on the commercial calendar. This is a show for witches who know that the power is in the slow, intentional exhale and the dirt under your nails, not the glitter. Slow down, get to work, and stop rushing your craft.

The Quiet Between the Festivals

This is my favorite time of year, not for the rituals, but for the work. This is the season when I personally feel the magic intensify, when my senses sharpen, and my spirit awakens.

In this episode, I'm taking you into my own practice for the post-equinox season. I'll talk about how I use this time to harvest the spiritual seeds I've sewn throughout the year, reflecting on the lessons learned and the energy spent. This is also when I feel most connected to my ancestors, a time when the veil thins and their presence feels close. I'll share how I honor their energy and how it fuels some of my most powerful workings of the year.

This isn't about celebrating the holiday; it's about celebrating the cycle. It's about why the witch's favorite season is often when the light begins to fade, because that is when the real magic begins.

Everyone wants to be a witch these days. But what about the ones who kept the craft alive in secret, in shadow, and under fire? In this episode, I am pulling back the glittery veil of WitchTok and “starter kits” to talk about the real history of witchcraft’s survival.

From the repeal of the Witchcraft Act in 1951 and the rise of Wicca in the 1960s, to the Satanic Panic of the 80s, and the trend-driven witch surge of today, we’ll trace how witchcraft keeps cycling through pop culture. We’ll also examine what gets lost in the noise. This is a call to respect: for the witches who risked their freedom, for the elders who kept the flame lit when it was not safe, and for the unnamed folk witches who healed, protected, and endured.

If you have ever wondered what it really means to claim the word “witch,” this episode will challenge you to go deeper than hashtags and crystal bundles.

This episode is a field guide for the city-dwelling witch. In a world that prizes silence and serene nature for magic, we're smashing that idea and finding power in the urban jungle. This isn’t a guide on how to get away from the city; it’s a guide on how to get down with it.

Join us as we explore how to embrace the chaos, turning the city's pulse into a source of power. Learn to find your sacred allies in crows and pigeons, and your tools in the discarded grit, glass, and iron of the streets. This episode will show you how to listen for the magic in a world that never stops and how to craft spells with the raw, vibrant energy that's already all around you.

This episode smashes the glass on the crystal ball. In a world of shiny new tarot decks, we're getting back to the raw, unfiltered truth of divination. This isn't about buying a tool; it's about learning to see the messages the universe is already sending you. Join us as we explore the primal methods of our ancestors: scrying in a bowl of dark water, reading the omens carried by the wind, and finding wisdom in the messy sediment of your morning coffee. Tune in to learn how to trust your gut and see the magic in the everyday world.

Ever notice how witchy spaces don’t always feel the same? On this episode, I share my trip to Michigan and how stepping into a crystal shop there felt free, relaxed, and judgment-free nlike the heavy, watchful vibe I get walking into similar shops in the Bible Belt. We’ll discuss how regional culture influences spiritual spaces, what it means to practice witchcraft in a place where “someone’s always watching,” and why it's essential to create spaces that feel safe and welcoming.

In this episode, I sit down with my daughter, yes, my daughter who happens to be a Christian. Not the preachy, door-knocking kind, but the kind who genuinely chose her path without pressure, guilt trips, or holy threats.

We talk about what it’s like to coexist under one roof when one of us rolls with Jesus and the other rolls herbs. From family dynamics to religious trauma, personal choice to mutual respect, this episode dives into how we’ve built a relationship rooted in love, not conversion. Spoiler: nobody got burned at the stake

In this episode, we're diving into the wild, tangled roots of folk cosmology. What does it mean to see the world through a magical lens shaped by land, stars, ancestors, and spirits? We're not talking textbook science or big religion. This is the kind of cosmology built from dirt under your nails and stories whispered by firelight. We'll explore how different cultures mapped the unseen world, how those views shaped their rituals, and how it all ties into the ways modern witches and magical folks still work today. This is for anyone who’s ever felt like the wind carried a message or that the moon was watching. Come get cosmic in the most earthy way possible.

Welcome to the Busted Broom Podcast. I’m Samantha G, and in this episode, we’re diving into what it feels like when a loved one reaches through the veil. I’m sharing a personal story, and we’ll discuss how to stay open, present, and aware when spirit moves, without chasing clichés or second-guessing your intuition. Real talk, raw grief, that meets you where you are.

Mad? Excellent. That’s magic fuel.

This is folk magic for the over-it, the burnt-out, the boundary-setting witches who are done asking nicely.
If you’ve ever wondered if you’re “too emotional” to do magic his one’s for you.
