Fair warning... this episode is a little bit spicier than our regular ones. Mostly because of the holiday, but also some just because we enjoy the topic. Well, we missed the Valentine's Day holiday topic! So instead of waiting a whole year, we decided just to go ahead and enlighten the audience to the ways that pagans celebrated the season before cards and candy were all the rave. Ain't no party like a pagan party!! And this one is definitely one for the books. Raven highlights the Fig tree and some of its significance in the matter. We find some common themes with some biblical passages too. I feel like this episode we also laughed more than any previous ones!

Another topic request from our Q&A episodes is what we discuss this week. Bear has covered a bit of astrology, but not the fundamentals to understanding a chart. So, we remedied that as we do a basic overview of birth charts and some things to look for in a chart. Raven came in and out of the conversation due an error in reading (listen to the episode and it will alllll make sense). But she did tell us that her FB ban story! There are plenty of laughs and jokes in this one. Keep sending topics of things you want to hear about for us to clarify for this year, because we love hearing from you guys!

This episode is the one so many of you have been waiting for.... Deja Vu! Raven helms this massive topic that was requested from our Q&A episode. How oftern should you have it? What does it mean? Listen to find out those answers and more. Bear talks about becoming "Coach Bear" for the meta world, the exciting event this past weekend at Walker Wellness, and a few quick astrology tips from this weekend including the two Zodiac signs that will be the stars of the show this year.

We' back! For part two of this episode, we finish the questions we were sent for the first year recap. Everything from favorite holidays, witchy traditions, our "aha" moments, and the definition of a warlock, can be found in this episode. I loved the response we got from our listeners and the feedback this year! Thank you for the support and listens while we laughed, goofed up, and hopefully educated at least a few people this year. We were also sent a few topics that people wanted to hear more about... so look forward to some talks about alters, Deja Vu, and charts more in depth in the next few weeks. If there's something else you want to hear us cover, feel free to send it in! We'll get to it as soon as we can.

We finally made it! Bear has (mostly) healed from surgery, so we were able to record. We completed a full trip around the sun as your favorite pagan podcasting couple! We got a lot of good questions in response to our Q&A episode. In fact, we had so many good questions, that we had to split it into two episodes! We look at where we started and where we are now as magick folk and as podcasters along with the fun and the bumps that came with the year. Thank you to our friends, families, and listeners that helped make this all possible. Stay tuned for what this year will bring!  If you still had a question you wanted us to read on the air, it's not too late! Send it in and we may be able to cover it in the next episode.

As the year draws to a close (while we record), Bear talks about the astrological season and those that fall under the sign of the Sea Goat, aka Capricorns. From their personalities and likes, to dislikes and weaknesses, find out more about the hardest working sign in the zodiac. Raven talks about the days leading up to January 6 and what Epiphany is all about (also my new stage name). She covers some more historical lessons about this time of year and recaps some good things to do for the new year. I will be having a tonsillectomy and it will be hard for me to communicate for the next few weeks, but we'll be here working on it! 

Again, thank you to all of our fans, followers, friends, and listeners (our WU Crew) for helping have such a fun and exciting year on this new endeavor! We look forward to what the next year has in store. Don't forget, you have a few days left to submit questions for the Q&A episode next!

It's beginning to look a lot like... Yule! Find out how many of our modern Christmas traditions are based on ancient pagan ways. We talk about the 12 Days of Yule and a few ways to celebrate the season. Between the deities, traditions, festivities, and symbolism of this time of year, there's something here for everyone to enjoy!

We got the Spotify Wrap Up report, and we give a big shout out to all our followers for making this first year a successful one! Thank you all for listening, sharing, and rating of our podcast while we tried to make it fun and enlightening to our listeners. 

Don't forget! Our end of the year episode is coming up quickly, and we'd like to do a Q&A episode where we read and respond to things you guys want to know more about from us. Call, text, email, or send us a message on socials with those burning questions!

We are so, so sorry for the delay! This was originally recorded on time, but life decided to get in the way of editing. Sooooo here we are now. Bear discusses the positive and negative attributes of a Sagittarian. We are now in the midst of their time of the year so hold on tight as this fire sign lights the way during the holiday season. Raven talks about something she loves to do around the holidays... simmer pots! From the fruits and the herbs that go into it, and the different types of water she uses, it's all here in this week's episode.

I finally get one of closest friends (irl) to join me for an episode! Raven's work schedule has her away for the week and he stepped in to tell some of his very own.... 'spoopy stories'! Aussie is no stranger to the meta scene and has attended many events in the community over the years. Listen to this man's voice as he tells some of his own real life stories! We attempted to make this happen in conjunction with our last Ghostisode in October. But hey, life happens, and who doesn't want to hear about ghosts in November. Let us know what you think, and we'll have him back again soon!

We recorded on Halloween night! Now, we know you won't hear for a few days, but this should help keep the spoopy feelings going. Raven talks about more of her own personal encounters and dealings while on her job. Bear talks about some local Oklahoma haunted spots that you might be familiar with if you live around here. 

Happy Halloween and Happy Samhain! Send us your ghost stories and we can air them, or possibly have you on to tell it yourself!
