Listener discretion is advised in this episode. We get kinky, dirty, and have a whole lot of fun discussing Major Arcana XV - The Devil. Think power, BDSM, the Matrix, David Bowie's bulge, addictions, snakes, goats billowing black sabbath smoke from the top of a snow storming mountain. Only the Gothest of witches need apply. Tune in, if you dare!
