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!
