✨ Disclaimer: This podcast is here to both educate and entertain our beloved fiber fam. While we’re diving into the magical, mystical world of fiber arts and the occult, please remember, it’s all shared with love, curiosity, and a pinch of playful yarn gremlin energy. We’re not here to promote any particular belief system or tell you to hex your ex (no matter how tempting). Always craft with care, respect traditions, and do what feels right for you!

Join host Gea on this enchanted, yarn-tinged episode of Skein and Tell as she casts a cozy spotlight on the magical world where fiber arts and the occult intertwine. That’s right, bestie! We’re talking about spells stitched with purpose, protective pouches crocheted with intention, and the mystical history of yarn-based magic that’s older than your favorite granny square.

Whether you’re already knotting sigils into your WIPs or just now wondering if your stash has auras (it might), this episode is for the curious witches, history nerds, stitchy spellcasters, and everyone who’s ever believed their yarn might be just a little bit magic.

You’ll learn:

• How fiber crafts have been used in rituals for centuries, from the Fates to folk magic
• Why stitches carry energy (and how to channel that into your projects)
• Protective pouches, love amulets, and hexed knots, real fiber-based spellwork explained
• How to craft your own magical makes with color, texture, and intention
• Weaving, spinning, and the enchanted lore behind the humble yarn twist

Plus, don’t miss:

• Weird Yarn Monday, where we head to New Zealand for Possum Yarn, a sustainable, ultra-soft, slightly controversial fiber made from invasive fluff monsters. Cozy meets conservation
• Archaeology of Yarn with Yarndiana Jones, as we unravel the spinning wheel’s epic journey from ancient spindle to fairy-tale icon. Spoiler: it changed everything!

Whether you’re crafting prosperity pouches, stitching spells for self-love, or just vibing with some magical making energy, this episode will have you feeling empowered, enchanted, and maybe just a little bit witchy.

Because every stitch tells a story, and sometimes, it’s a spell.
Love you bestie, bye! 🧶💖🔮
