In episode 157 of the Magick & Alchemy podcast, hosts Kristin Lisenby and Kate Belew bid farewell to season five and welcome in Prophetic Girl Summer. In this conversation, they revisit the stories of priestesses, nymphs, and clairvoyant baddies who have historically said, “I told you so.” They meet Helice and Cassandra, contemplate yearning as a spell, and consider the influence of internet aphorisms in a modern world.
