The witches are finally back, and they want YOU to join them in commiserating on the state of the nation!  Blackbird went to Texas and got to visit Scarlet's Gingerbread House, and they had quite a lot to discuss when it comes to WTF IS GOING ON in Texas and in the country lately.  Set your broom on fire, hop on it and join them in their tirade against All Things Terrible - sometimes it takes a good rant to bring forth creative solutions!  Also, don't forget to check out Scarlet's 31 Days of Witches this year - you can find her in Instagram at @awitchinred.  And as the witches wisely advise - if you are feeling angry or down due to all the wrongness right now, DO SOME TAROT ABOUT IT and maybe take a nap! 

This episode is taking you back...WAY BACK!  Scarlet takes us on a journey alllll the way back to the time of Mycenean Greece - a short linguistics lesson to get us started, and then she compares and contrasts the aspects of the religion of "old old Greece" versus what we normally think of as ancient Greece..  Learn what was the same, learn what was different!  Both are kind of surprising, with deities that you may be familiar with having different qualities than what you were taught to be their traits.  Fascinating topic and a real learning opportunity - so much to find out about everyone's favorite gateway drug into the occult!  School's back in session, y'all, take notes!  

Hey there witch friends!  This week, Scarlet and Blackbird are bringing to you a smorgasbord of stories!  Included for your listening pleasure:  Blackbird's re-ignition of her passion for singing and pretending on the piano; The Perfect Hockey Jersey; Magical signs that go bump in the night that need to be heeded; Smashing Pumpkins, Ethel Cain, Making an Egyptian astral dock, AND SO MUCH MORE!  Join the witches for this grab-bag of topics - you are sure to have a good time! 

This week, your friendly neighborhood witches are taking a deep dive into Lida Pavlova's amazing book of tarot spreads called The Library of Questions.  Join the witches for a thought-provoking discussion regarding some of the spreads they find interesting, as well as some of the spreads they actually did!  This book seemingly can take many forms and has many different uses, so please join in and explore this library immediately with Scarlet and Blackbird!

If you get the title reference, welcome home!!  This week, your witchy friends are talking about - you guessed it - dreams!!  Dreams are a mix of magic, psychology, science, and so much more - your subconscious is giving you messages through your dreams, so take a listen while Scarlet and Blackbird discuss types of dreams they have had and a little history regarding the magic of dreams.  TIps for falling asleep, boosting your dream imagery and remembering them are all part of the discussion.  Enjoy this one with a cup of mugwort tea and drift off! 

The witches are together again to talk more resistance - what have each of them been up to since the last conversation?  Blackbird does some tarot and ocean magic, and Scarlet shares some wisdom from the trusty random quote generator.  Plus:  Fantastic Four, Marvel vs. DC (duh!), plants of resistance, and July 4th is for independence in SNACKING only (witches share their food endeavors!)  Ride along with the ladies with the top down, goth summer is in full swing! 

SURPRISE!  It's a twofer weekend.  The witches have a lot of thoughts about the sun and how to possibly direct not only the healing energy, but also how to wield the destructive elements in our practice toward all the terrifying events that we currently face.  There are many lanes to choose from, but witches have an extra path to take along with those of the mundane - to aim our energy where we want, we have to start somewhere.  What's better than starting at the ultimate beginning?  The sun and its deities are a powerful force if we can only tap into this magic.  Listen with your witch friends as they discuss their ideas for a new ritual!  

Happy Summer Solstice, all!  Blackbird got a new microphone and she could not wait to test it - what better way than to put out a shorty about what day it is1  She's got some tips and fun activities to do for the weekend, and spoiler alert, it's kind of all about interacting with the natural world around you!  You are sure to get at least one good idea or activity from this little episode - if you make friends with a crow, a squirrel, or a chipmunk, how awesome would that be!?  Grab a cool drink and relax in the shade with this fun tiny bit of joy for the LONGEST of days! 

On this episode, your favorite witch friends catch up on Scarlet's many adventures - to Vegas this time, where she had some very deep thoughts about Vegas!! - and both witches share their feelings and techniques on their various sports superstitions and yes, their MAGIC when it comes to their favorite hockey team, the one and only Dallas Stars (sad trombone as they did not make the Cup this year.  Or last year.  Or the year before.)  Despite the team's losses, overall they are still an elite organization, and Scarlet and Blackbird do feel like they invoke power while they are holding their hockey rituals!  Join in for a fun conversation that your ladies have been anticipating, because this is also the first time they are discussing this with each other!  (Can't talk about it DURING the playoffs - it might be bad luck!)  

This week, your witch friends are taking you on adventures of sight!  Of sound!  Of SMELL!  That's right, Scarlet and Blackbird unbox a sampler of goth-themed fragrances, and Scarlet tells all about a cyberpunk themed weekend in the desert.  So much to discuss - plus creating religions, Blackbird's cat's birthday, and a chile relleno burrito.  STOP IT.  But wait!  Do not stop it!  Press play!!
