This week, Scarlet and Blackbird continue the series on tarot court cards with the dynamic queens of the deck!  Join the witches in their dive into what each suit's characteristics are, how they read queens in a spread, and whether or not they each have a favorite or are represented commonly by any of the queens.  Grab your chalice of ginger ale, your scepters of chopsticks, and your glorious crown of a turbie twist towel and take a listen! 

In this episode, the witches hold to their very loose promise (?) of talking about the court cards IN ORDER, lookout!  Scarlet breaks down what knights are all about, how the horses on the cards have meaning due to their positions, and both witches discuss how they read knights in their tarot practices.  Also a roundup of Trader Joe's fall offerings, off the rails Spotify daylists and chapter titles, and Blackbird is eluded by space (how does it even work.)  Join your favorite witches in this fun journey they are having through the court cards - is it time yet for mulled cider?  Get some, don those airpods or headphones, and enjoy listening!

This week, Scarlet and Blackbird catch you up on what's new in their lives (s'mores dip!  Ethel Cain!  Yogurt snax!  JD Vance! - wait, no excitement there.) Then the ladies take a dive into the minor arcana, bringing you the first installment about those youthful sprites, the pages!  Discover a little history, what the cards have been and what some new versions are, and let the witches tell you what these cards mean for them when they read.  Grab your almost-fall favorite sweater, some pumpkin spice anything, and pop in those ear buds!  

Witches, it is a round robin of topics comin at ya this week.  Blackbird and Scarlet catch up and commiserate about their summertime illnesses, posit on the cultural happenings of the day (at least regarding the Olympics) and come full circle (all five of them!) with some insights about their relationship with their own intuition and what they use to navigate it.  It's a deep weird dive, but as always, these two are always ready to share what they learn with you!  Find some shade and put those earbuds in.  

This week, Scarlet and Blackbird have a smorgasbord on offer:  Death by banana pudding, the terrible politics of our embroiled nation, and a really fantastic public ritual that Scarlet conducted for her friends entitled "The Coronation of the Bee Queen"!  Learn about Scarlet's process for creating the ritual and how it was received (everyone loved it, duh.)  Get out of your hot and sweaty summertime garb, take a dip in whatever cool body of water is available, and listen while you safely bask in the sun with your 1 million percent sunscreen.  

The witches are back with their hot takes on Oreos!  Gettysburg!  Falconry!  And last but not least, the main topic that has been teased and promised - an entire episode devoted to the wondrous and very historied Moon tarot card.  Learn about how this card transformed (and stayed the same) throughout the ages, and the many elements it possesses.  Blackbird and Scarlet discuss meanings, how they read the card in a spread, and hopefully their discussion will help you develop your abilities or bring about a new perception that you may have not realized before.  Listen under the moonlight and get inspired!

Your two witchfriends are back to talk about disappointing scents, weekend excursions, and their extremely hot (literally!) takes on these two very enigmatic, fiery cards.  Cards of hope and joy are not the normal fare for these lovely creatures of the night, but delve into the light they must at times.  Learn all about these cards and how they have evolved through time, what their symbolism means, and how the witches interpret these when pulled.  Explore the universe within by taking a listen!

The witches are back with their many tales of what they have both been up to!  New Jersey hangin' with a hidden surprise, Dallas eclipse amazingness, The Ultimate Hockey Sads, and many other general updates are coming directly to your earholes in this episode.  Grab a refreshing iced tea or whatever your early summer jam is, put those feet in a pool and catch up with Scarlet and Blackbird!  

Hey everybody!  The witches are back with the final night of their trip to the Land of Baltimore and the Sacred Space Conference.  This was a day full of embodiment for the witches, and Blackbird and Scarlet went to a few amazing rituals and workshops about topics as wide-ranging as plant allies, the body as an ecosystem, and a lot of dancing!  As an added bonus, two of the workshops on this day were hosted by friends of the show, Amy Blackthorn and Laura Tempest Zakroff!  Overall, this conference was a great place to learn some new techniques and gain different perspectives, like we witches are wont to do.  Please enjoy!

Scarlet and Blackbird are back to bring you their impressions of the second day of this magical conference that took place outside of Baltimore at the beginning of the month.  This day was jam-packed:  Messages from Hecate, hare lore, trance dancing, hedge riding, and so much more!  This day was really fun and varied, and the witches were all witched out by the end of the day - but the wrap-up is always a great way for them to process what they've learned.  Grab a cuppa and enjoy!
