Join Mahigan and Austin as they sit in the light of a fireplace waiting for their ominous alembic to come to a boil, as they discuss witchcraft, its intersection with self-care, the trap of consumerism, American attitudes towards spirituality, and the point of purchasing spiritual goods from witches and workers.

Make sure to check out Austin's work at Bane x Bramble, and give him a follow on Instagram! Austin is curating a monthly event in Tampa, FL, that is absolutely worth checking out, and also hosts his own podcast, Southern Bramble.

Sat Upon a Toadstool is a lighthearted podcast dedicated to exploring the lived experience of Witchcraft through the lens of spirit relationship, folk magic, land veneration, and mediation between the world of the living and the next. Your host, Mahigan Saint-Pierre, is comfortably seated in increasingly odd corners of the woods chatting with god-knows-what critter as they sip on strange brews and chat about all things witchcraft, occult, and spiritual.

You can find Mahigan over on Instagram, on Patreon, or on the Kitchen Toad website.
