Alt-right spaces used to be easy to spot and avoid. Everyone knew to carefully vet evangelical churches and tread lightly in certain states and towns. However, as people leave evangelical spaces to find more fulfilling spiritual paths, they sometimes bring with them bigoted and harmful ideologies.
It’s one of the growing reasons why any new ideas and mysteries we come across need to be carefully scrutinized before we embrace them. Shannon and I love a history mystery as much as the next pagan, but media literacy and critical thinking are crucial to avoid falling into the alt-right pipeline and finding yourself in very scary situations.
Join Shannon and I this week as we lay a foundation for keeping yourself and your fellow witchlings safe in the craft.

Intro/Outro: Witch Waltz by Kevin MacLeod
Within pagan spaces, there’s often a lot of pressure to make your practice as *aesthetic* as possible. Herbs must be carefully housed in glass bottles and jars, candles must be in vintage-style candlesticks, and your altar should look like it could fit directly into the sets of Mists of Avalon.
Like many conformist views, attempting to adhere to this constantly is just silly. If you love glass jars and aesthetic items, by all means—use them! However, modern witchcraft sometimes requires a modern twist—especially in the kitchen.
Join Shannon and me this week as we examine and share our personal experiences with how modern appliances, ingredients, and cooking techniques can help bake up some truly powerful spellwork.

Intro/Outro: Behind the Sword by Alexander Nakarada
Luck is a lot like apples, sometimes you have a good bunch—good luck—other times you find yourself with rotten apples—bad luck. But there’s a state beyond that where you have no apples at all and need to go out and get some. In regards to luck, this is a luck-free state that sometimes happens during mental, emotional, physical, and psychic numbness.
Join Megan and I in this episode as we explore the magick and spellcraft practices to manifest luck and abundance from a numb or luck-free state of being.

Intro/Outro: Brewing Potions
Luck is a tricky concept, especially when it comes to your magickal practice. Belief in luck—both good and bad—is an ancient concept with a broad lexicon of superstitions, rituals, and traditions. Many of these traditions survive today in the practice of carrying good luck charms and following cultural or familial traditions. The goal is to decrease your bad luck while welcoming in the good.
But do any of these practices have a place in your craft?
Join Shannon and me in our latest episode to learn more about the traditions surrounding luck, the psychological implications of being “lucky” or “unlucky”, and methods for infusing your workings with more serendipitous energy. We also discuss how to avoid luck-based paranoia and the importance of having fun with these traditions.

Intro/Outro: Magical Transition by Kevin MacLeod
Paganism is on the rise, and that’s worth celebrating. Certain spiritual beliefs are no longer compulsory, giving us the opportunity to build and find joy in practices created just for us. However—like any spiritual practice—there are those intent on spreading misinformation, using surface knowledge to manipulate others, and individuals determined to take any and all spiritual practices to the extreme.
In this episode, Megan and I discuss the difference between healthy spirituality and spiritual psychosis, trollspotting, and how to tell a cult leader from a legitimate spiritual practitioner.

Intro/Outro: Aquarium by Kevin MacLeod
Modern society has a tendency to apply modern ideas and symbolism to ancient entities, diluting their original meaning and purpose—especially when it comes to love deities. We’ve all seen the insipid depictions of baby Cupid with his quiver full of love darts, and Aphrodite depicted as a loveable airhead.
However, nothing could be further from the truth. As Shannon and I discuss in our latest episode, love has a multitude of facets—some sweet, some sour, and some downright deadly.

Energy is everything and it is constantly moving, flowing, and changing. These are basic universal truths but can be difficult to wrap our minds around our personal energy, power, and magickal practice.
As practitioners, we raise, work with, and attune to the energies of our surroundings on an almost instinctive level. Sometimes, though, feeling, knowing, and following our personal energies can be some of the most intensive work we do for your growth and empowerment.
Join us in this episode as Megan and I discuss how we’ve become disconnected from the natural flow of energy, and explore how to start feeling and tapping into our own personal energy to heal the disconnection.
