Two Witches Talking

Episode 52: Outdated Witchcraft Laws


Listen Later

Did you know that laws regulating practices associated with witchcraft, divination, and fortune-telling still exist across the United States — and in many countries around the world? In this episode of Two Witches Talking, Megan and Morgan dig into the surprising and often overlooked legal landscape facing practitioners today. From state-specific licensing requirements to outright bans, the witches walk through the patchwork of American regulations and explore some of the ongoing legal battles that are actively shaping the rights of witches and diviners in the modern era.

They also zoom out to look at international witchcraft laws, many of which have deep roots in colonialism and continue to have serious consequences for practitioners in affected regions. They discuss the historical context behind how these laws came to exist, what repeals and reforms have looked like in recent years, and what all of this means culturally for those who practice today. Whether you're a practitioner yourself or just witchcraft-curious, this episode will leave you thinking about the intersection of magick, law, and cultural identity in a whole new way.
