Fire Lyte is the author of a brand new book, The Dabbler's Guide to Witchcraft, and a long-time podcaster and host of the show Inciting a Riot. I had the pleasure of sitting down and speaking with him about the inspiration behind his new book, the importance of intersectional science in magical spaces, and even mention of that time the Internet erupted over a piece of malachite.

Sun Among Stars is a wonderfully written devotional to Brigid written by Mael Brigde. It isn't out just yet, but I had the pleasure of speaking with Mael about her book and Brigid in her life. This week, listen to our chat about the inspiration behind Mael's book, how she came to know Brigid, and some of her most beloved stories of Brighid, both Goddess and Saint.

So, gatekeeping and cancel culture...two heavy topics that are talked about in the wider occult community fairly often. As with most broad topics like this, I’m mainly going to focus on witchcraft and polytheism because that’s what I have experience with. However, these topics can generally be applied to almost any other community even outside the occult. I also need you to understand that these two concepts are heavily nuanced, like most things, and I won’t be able to cover all the nuance in just one episode.

This concept of wintering was introduced to me through Katherine's book. Having thoroughly enjoyed it myself, I thought it would be wonderful to bring it to you, as well! Although not specifically witchy or polytheistic, I feel like we can all benefit from wintering every now and then.

As patrons have requested, this month I explored the need for occult community, some different reasons why community is important, and some red flags to watch for. Communities are an integral part of growing our practices whether we realize it or not. When we're part of a community, we are shown new perspectives, we learn new things, and we even make friends.

Growing spiritually is a journey that is subjective to each individual person. It's going to look different for everyone and the goals are different, too.

Announcement: I will be taking a break from the podcast for at least two months (March and April 2021) and possibly longer. 

What do you think of when you hear the term “love spell”? Do you imagine a witch sitting in their room, writing down the traits they desire in a partner? Do you picture the scene from Practical Magic where little Sally Owens creates a love spell called Amas Veritas, dreaming up a man that doesn’t exist, so she’ll never die of a broken heart? Do you think of love potions and magical desire from unsuspecting partners? But what happens when you start to get deep into love magic? Can you take things too far? And are there things you shouldn’t do when it comes to love spells?
