  • Episode 015 - Let's Get Wyrd with Lozzie Stardust

    In this special bonus episode originally aired on Patreon, Lozzie Stardust joins me in the virtual studio for a discussion of witchcraft and history surrounding The Scottish Play. You know, Macbeth? (HOT POTATO, OFF HIS DRAWERS, PUCK WILL MAKE AMENDS...ouch!) We give some fun historical context to the story and the witchy goings-on in the play, get off on several tangents, and generally have a rollicking good time. By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes!

  • Episode 014 - American Druidry with Dana O'Driscoll
    This month, I sat down with author, painter, permaculturist, and the head of the Ancient Order of Druids in America, Dana O’Driscoll. We had a lovely chat about druidry, caring for the land, adapting ancient traditions to modern realities, and how to incorporate nature-based spirituality into your everyday life, no matter where you live. (Witness me trying to keep it together through some personal revelations.) Check out Dana’s beautiful hand-painted oracle decks and her forthcoming book, “Sacred Actions: Earth-Centered Sustainable Practices,” and visit her blog and Etsy shop at the links below!

  • Witch Ways, Ep. 10 - Apple of my Eye
    You wanted it, you got it! In this episode of Witch Ways, I'm happy to present "Apple of my Eye," an adaptation of the love spell that I cast for myself some years ago, which lead to a magical meet-cute with the man who would later become my wonderful husband. This spell will be available as part of the Relationships section of The Sisters Grimmoire, Vol. II, and is a special sneak peek at my latest book.

  • Ep. 013 - Consent and Modern Love Magic
    Happy February! Time for overpriced candy, cheesy romantic ads, and a serious talk about modern love magic. Specifically, why consent needs to be a part of it. (And of course, this is not to say that magic which seeks to circumvent or overwhelm free will does not exist or does not work. This is certainly a thing that exists. It’s well-established in quite a few old-world traditions like strega and curandero, among others, and even modern-day witchcraft books talk about persuasion and glamour and command magic. And all this is fine. I just want to be clear that I take personal issue when free will is undermined or ignored in love magic, specifically.)

  • Ep. 012 - Witching from the Broom Closet

    It's easy to find advice and information on creative ways to gather supplies and practice your craft. But what's a witch to do when your living situation makes open practice impossible? This month, I dive into a plethora of tips for all my darling stealth witches out there - how to gather supplies, cast spells, conduct research, venerate your chosen deities, and generally survive as a witch when you're stuck in the broom closet. (And yes, I also talk about that particular expression.)

    A transcript of this episode is available here.

  • BONUS - Witchsongs with S.J. Tucker

    Happy Holidays, witches! As a special treat, I'm releasing a super special guest episode of Hex Positive! Pardon my joyous cackling as I welcome the absolutely fabulous S.J. Tucker to the show for a chat about music, magic, and all the ways they intersect. We get gloriously off-topic in all directions, giggle a bunch, and Sooj delivers a surprise that brings me to tears. Stay tuned after the chat for Sooj's marvelous song, "Witchka!"

    May you raise your eyes and never bow your head. We are not alone.
