Welcome back, Witches! This week we’re continuing our Occultists series with Part 6, where we dive into the lives and legacies of Mary the Jewess and Zosimos of Panopolis, two of the earliest and most influential figures in the world of alchemy. From groundbreaking laboratory techniques to philosophical writings that blended science, mysticism, and spirituality, their work helped shape the foundations of Western alchemical tradition. So get in, Loser, because this week we’re stepping into the ancient world of alchemy.

Welcome back, Witches! This week, we’re diving into the world of offerings- where they come from, what they are, and how they’ve been used across cultures and magical traditions. From ancient practices to modern devotional acts, we’re unpacking why offerings matter, what makes an offering meaningful, and how to choose something aligned rather than performative. Whether you work with deities, ancestors, spirits, or the land itself, this episode is all about intention, relationship, and respect. So get in, Loser—because your altar (and your understanding) is about to get a serious glow-up.
