WELCOME to Halloweentime, witches!  Scarlet and Blackbird are here with the seasonal flicks, and are finally ready to discuss one of their favorites - Argento's cult classic 1977 horror film Suspiria and the remake made in 2018.  Both of these movies have so much to offer, and the witches are ready to break it down.  Join them for a ride into a voluptuously dark tale in which directors give us shockingly magnificent color usage and absolutely creepy music.  Grab that popcorn and a blanket and prepare thyself!

Welp, if you are easily offended by rants and sarcasm, this may not be the episode for you.  Scarlet and Blackbird go on an epic internet journey of all things FALL-O-WEEN (you read that correctly) and check out the latest and greatest in Halloween decor that is for people who cannot or will not participate in the true spirit of Halloween.  It is an irreverent barrel of laughs that the witches fall into, and they want you to join them in the downward spiral that leads only to one place - a church parking lot trunk event, the scariest of all places.  Happy Spooky Season!

Join the witches this week as Scarlet tells Blackbird all about the Headless Rite she performed.  Learn about the great goddess and force of Nuit (Nut) and all of her dominion!  As always, the witches bring their own flavor to rituals they create, and this is no exception.  Inspired by the class both the witches are currently taking through the Blackthorne School, Scarlet wrote this version of the rite that speaks more directly to her own brand of witchcraft.  Join us for all the fantastic surprises that happened during this ritual! 

Darklings, this week your favorite goths are taking a bit of a break - but still remaining adjacent - to their travels in the Hail Hekate series being offered by The Blackthorne School and Jack Grayle.  They've written a ritual to a very powerful hypercosmic goddess together, and Blackbird has written and performed some baneful magic that she can't wait to share with you.  Learn about some ancient Egyptian deities, travel to faraway lands, hear some blood-curdling words of malevolence...this episode has it all!  Grab a sack full of olives and enjoy!

This week, the witches share what they have learned about TRUE NAMES and MAGICAL VOICES!  This part of the lecture series offered by Jack Grayle and the Blackthorne School really has your living room/passenger seat friends thinking deeply about how they present themselves when working magic and how these lessons are relating to their own workings.  Listen and learn!  A surprise visit by Mr. Herman at the end, so stay tuned to hear his very own magical voice!  

Hey witches, your gothest friends are back at it again and are discussing more technologies of ancient sorcery used in late antiquity to compel the gods to do your bidding.  This one is a wide range of topics - we cover birds!  Boston!  90's dance music!  And yes, Hekate.  Learn how to make a strophalos!  Learn about what it does!  Join the witches as they continue their journey of the class given by Jack Grayle, author of The Hekataeon, through the Blackthorne School.  

We are diving deep into sorcerous devotion this week!  Blackbird and Scarlet continue their journey through the course being offered on Hekate by Jack Grayle through The Blackthorne School.  This week, the witches learn more epithets than they knew before, and learn how to prepare for magic working in the context of this series of classes.  It's a fun ride through late antiquity, and the witches are so glad you will join them!  

The witches hope you are on board for this journey into the depths and heights of their' minds as they continue their discussion on the Forked Path Hekate series offered by the Blackthorne School.  In a dizzying display of esoteric shower thoughts, Blackbird reacts to her first taste of this lecture series, while Scarlet shares not only her takeaways but also her poetic interpretation skills.  It's a fun one, and the witches hope you have as much mind-blowing fun as they did!  

Oh ho ho hohohohhho witches, have we got something for you in the coming weeks!  Scarlet and Blackbird are about to get schooled in all things Hekate.  Embark on this epic journey with the ladies as they dive into the excitement of a course offered by the Blackthorne School on Hekate by none other than the author of The Hekataeon, Jack Grayle.  The witches have discussed this book several times, but Scarlet signed up for the course first and wanted Blackbird's hot takes on everything she learned in the first of 13 weeks (spoiler alert - Blackbird signs up for the course immediately after recording this episode!)  Get ready for your mind to be expanded by at least 3 if not 18 times.  

Witches!!  Join Blackbird and Scarlet as they regale you with tales of their dark and witchy communion in The City That Never Sleeps!  They will take you on their journey to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where they spent a great deal of time in the Egyptian Wing.  Also learn about a great restaurant that has a datura theme!  Not on the menu, but very delish.  It was a great time in a great city, if only for a day!  Join in and listen ASAP!
