C3: Crystals, Cauldrons & Cocktails

Let's Chat!!

The spell is finished. The candle is out. The jar behind your coffee maker has developed a government. Now what? 

This week on C3: Crystals, Cauldrons, & Cocktails, River tackles magickal disposal: when to retire a working, what to do with leftover wax and herbs, and whether you can finally wash that damn jar. 

Pour a Closing Chapter cocktail and join her for practical advice, a simple closing ritual, and a reminder that meaningful witchcraft can coexist with a functioning trash can.

You can release what no longer serves you—but apparently the forty-seven jars are still under review.

As Samhain arrives, River is taking stock of unfinished projects, inherited expectations, and the favors that somehow became permanent job descriptions. What deserves to come with you into winter—and what needs an actual exit?

Pour The Last Straw bourbon cocktail and explore three practical workings: the Harvest Sort, the Empty-Handed Release, and the Winter Store Blessing. With boundary-setting advice and a fictional witch whose cupboard stages an intervention, this episode makes room for honest endings, guilt-free rest, and the things that still feed your magick.

Your tarot cards are not your supervisor. Neither is that half-finished craft project.

Ancestors welcome. Jump scares declined.

As Samhain approaches, River brings a little common sense to the thinning veil. We’re talking ancestor remembrance, spiritual boundaries, and why a mysterious crash should prompt a cat investigation before a séance.

Plus, meet Hazel—a witch who asks her ancestors for guidance and gets a family reunion with strong opinions about her money bowl. Expect laughter, a surprisingly heartfelt message, and a simple remembrance practice that doesn’t require an elaborate altar or staying awake past your bedtime.

Honor your people. Keep your boundaries. Check the living suspects first.

Can lending your neighbor salt send your luck walking out the door? Why would borrowing fire on Monday morning cause concern—and how did one inconsiderate borrower ruin the fairy lending library for everybody?

This week on C3: Crystals, Cauldrons, & Cocktails, we’re exploring borrowing and lending folklore, from Irish household superstitions to a cauldron that supposedly gave birth—and then died. We’re also talking about modern witchy boundaries: sharing tarot decks, lending ritual tools, protecting private grimoires, and helping someone without accidentally donating your entire damn furnace.

Pour The Borrowed Spirit cocktail and join us for practical spells for generosity, boundaries, and gratitude, plus a few strong opinions about returning casserole dishes. You can share your salt, keep enough for your own dinner, and put a return date on your good cauldron.

Boo Bitches!

Can your dinner ingredient double as a witchy reminder to protect your peace? Boo, bitches—we’re talking garlic magick!

Join River for a deliciously sassy exploration of garlic folklore, vampire legends, kitchen witchery, and boundaries that don’t require a forty-minute explanation. From protective customs and Bram Stoker’s Dracula to garlic’s surprisingly dramatic chemistry, we’re separating recorded traditions from modern magick—and giving this little bulb plenty of room to shine.

Mix up our savory Fang Off cocktail, try a simple doorway protection charm, and make garlic bread with boundaries. We’re also talking roasted garlic, comfort as protection, and practical precautions for your food and familiars.

Expect ridiculous vampire preparedness, River and Wren’s competing garlic philosophies, and one very important question: before you invite that handsome vampire inside, does he do dishes?

Has your one-card tarot reading become an entire committee meeting? River is calling that meeting to order—and then shutting it down.

In this sassy mini episode of Cauldrons of Chaos, we’re talking about pulling “just one more” clarifying card, switching decks for a more agreeable answer, and asking the same question in a different spiritual hat. Plus, try a simple one-card practice to turn reflection into action and trust your own judgment.

Your tarot deck can offer food for thought. You don’t need the Emperor’s written approval to take a damn nap.

An apple a day keeps… absolutely nobody from asking what’s for dinner. 

Join River for apple magick, autumn folklore, and kitchen witchery—because apparently, we can’t just buy groceries.

Explore the star inside an apple, old Halloween love-divination customs, and orchard wassailing with its surprisingly considerate tree snacks. Then bring the magick home with apple wish spells, prosperity practices, cinnamon simmer pots, love blessings, and remembrance rituals.

We’re also mixing Sweet with a Bite, an apple cider bourbon cocktail with an alcohol-free option, and making baked apples with intention. Expect fascinating “did you knows,” River-and-Wren humor, and a reminder that welcoming sweetness doesn’t mean putting up with bullshit.

Grab your drink, bring an apple, and let’s give your snack a little more purpose.

Some antiques come with history. Others allegedly come with an entity and a complete disregard for your peace.

While River recovers, we’re reopening the After Dark vault for a rerun all about cursed objects! From the Hope Diamond and Annabelle to the Dybbuk Box, the Crying Boy paintings, the Basano Vase, and the Myrtles Plantation mirror, we explore the eerie legends, alleged misfortunes, and reasons to approach these stories with a curious—but skeptical—mind.

Grab your favorite drink and join C3: Crystals, Cauldrons & Cocktails for spooky stories, witchy banter, and a reminder that “haunted” should really be disclosed before checkout.

Boo, Bitches! 

Autumn is here, and we’re releasing our bullshit—but keeping our cardigans. 

In this Cauldrons of Chaos mini episode, River explores simple autumn witchcraft for messy, busy, very human lives: release rituals, celebrating your personal harvest, protecting your peace, and cozy magick that doesn’t require eleven chopped vegetables. 

Grab your favorite mug and join us for practical witchy wisdom, seasonal sass, and a reminder that a leaf cannot manage your calendar.

Boo, Bitches! 

River is back from DragonCon and Alaska, but her voice is still recovering—so this week, she’s opening the coven vault. This After Dark episode was previously available only to paying members.

What is graveyard magick, and why do witches work with cemeteries? River explores ancestor work, spirit communication, the folklore of graveyard dirt, cemetery guardians, and spells tied to protection, transformation, and closure. She also tackles the rule that matters most: respect the dead and their resting places.

Come for the spooky folklore. Stay for the supernatural bouncer.
