Today I’m going to tell you the story of Hypatia but first I want to share with you stories from the present that I guess I shouldn’t have been shocked to read about but I was.  The long ago witchcraft trials and subsequent murder of people is not safely buried in the world’s past but alive and gaining momentum in some areas. 

The bulk of this episode is something I recorded in 2023 and I was going through files and thought this one needed to be shared. I am reminded just how pissed off I was and still am at things going on in our world and country. 

You can join our online coven by going HERE and signing up! You will have access to our online grimoire, meditations, rituals, and so much more! I also do card pulls weekly and monthly in our Marco Polo chat group! We share our witchy and daily lives in there and it's a lot of fun!
