“Where Did That Wand Come From?” – Ethical Sourcing in Modern Pagan Practice

This week, your favourite coven of conversationalists—Margo, Maeve, Gwen, and Brian—gather 'round the mic to stir the cauldron on a vital topic in today’s magical landscape: Ethical sourcing.

Have you ever stopped to wonder where your cloak came from? That gorgeous crystal on your altar? That intricately carved wand that showed up two days after a Temu impulse-buy binge?

Sure, your altar looks fabulous… but do you know where that wand came from?
Was your cloak stitched with care, - or churned out by a fast-fashion goblin via "fast fashion" express?
And let’s not even start on those suspiciously cheap amethyst towers...

✨ In this episode, we ask the hard questions:

  • Can a tool hold power if it was made under exploitative conditions?
  • Why do so many of us hold our magical tools to higher sourcing standards than the smartphones in our pockets?
  • Is energy affected by intention alone, or does the origin of an item matter?
  • Can thrifted finds and antique market treasures hold new life in our practice if they’re cleansed and consecrated properly?
  • Will your ritual fall flat if your cauldron was ... um, “liberated” from grandma’s attic without permission?

We also deep-dive into witchy thrifting, DIY, and the powerful magic in homemade tools—all while exploring the ethical and energetic implications of the items we bring into our sacred spaces.

So grab your ethically-sourced tea, light that responsibly-harvested sage (or maybe reach for rosemary instead? ), and join us for a lively chat that’s equal parts thought-provoking and enchantingly practical.

💬 Got thoughts or stories about your own ethically-sourced (or not-so-ethical) magical tools? Drop us a message on Instagram or wherever you listen—we’d love to hear from you!
