That Witch Life

Miss Remy is back to talk about the Spring Equinox and Ostara rites! We also explore the changes we’ve all undergone since the pandemic began, as well as the Possibility of Possibilities. What will the world be like when we can all be out and about again? What does Spring have to do with it? Kanani shares her favorite Ostara story, Hilary shares a meme, and Courtney falls apart. A listener discovered they are a descendant of James VI–the “Witch-Hunter King.” How can they work with these problematic ancestors? On Patreon: Kanani shares her other favorite Ostara story.

A new show about Witches??? We are joined by three members of the production team of Thorn Trees, an independently produced series about a grieving witch who recruits a repentant witch-hunter in Elizabethan England to help save her family from a corrupt Bishop intent on murder. The team chats with us about the journey to creating this piece, the challenge of indie production, and the desire to tell a different story. Digressions include birth stones, ash and doughnut theft, and head-biting. A listener has heard "that time of the month" is the best for Magick...but what if they feel like crap at "that time"? On Patreon: Extended, ad-free episode plus deep-dive with the creators.
