Happy New Moon, New Book! Can't believe it wasn't mentioned on the podcast, but this book definitely has Scorpio Moon energy. Courtney Webber's Sacred Tears: A Witch's Guide to Grief is personally vulnerable and deeply insightful about the nature of grief and how we navigate it. While our hosts both agree that this book is a Necessity for navigating both your own griefs and those of your loved ones, please take this episode at your own pace, especially if topics of grief (like infertility, miscarriage, and death) may be triggering to you. 

What's up witches? How do we follow two amazing interviews with two of our host's favorite witches? We could only do it by synthesizing the message of October into one of personal growth and self love, using our creativity to empower us as witches and women. Gemini asks Scorpio three questions to help craft a personal, witchy narrative to ensorcle one's life into something big, deeper and greater.

Happy Halloween witches! Okay, well, Halloween might still be a little ways away, but to celebrate our favorite Scorpio's favorite season, instead of a traditional New Moon, New Book, we have this amazing interview with Lydia O'Connor, Salem's first and only horror hostess. If you know her, you love her, and if you don't, this interview is a great introduction to the lore and the backstory that makes Wretched Lydia so captivating to her audience. And yes, she's a real witch! 

Not only did we get to read and discuss Pam Grossman's new book, Magic Maker: The Enchanted Path to Creativity, before it's release on October 14th, but for this Aries Super Moon, we got to talk to the magical maven herself! This episode has it all - we laughed, we got really close to crying, we had a beautiful conversation about a beautiful book. 

Pam's Bio, from her website: Pam is a writer, curator, and teacher of magical practice and history. She is the host of The Witch Wave podcast (“the Terry Gross of Witches” - Vulture) and the author of Waking the Witch: Reflections on Women, Magic, and Power (Gallery Books / Simon & Schuster) and What Is A Witch (Tin Can Forest Press).

Happy New Moon, New Book witches! It is an absolute honor to bring your Pam Grossman's Magic Maker: The Enchanted Path to Creativity, releasing in October! Spoiler, we loved it, but it also took us on a typical Gemini-Scorpio journey. We discovered that Gemini has never listened to the Smiths and Scorpio recounted her experience with a ouija board and both hosts discussed the ways this book is distinctly applicable to their lives. You are definitely going to want to listen to this before you pre-order the book whereever you pre-order your books! 

Happy Eclipse witches! Originally intended to be a discussion of harvest mythologies, Scorpio and Gemini had a chat about their relationships to the harvest and the various reasons and methods to banish the "shoulds" that are holding you back. 

Happy Virgo New Moon and welcome to our new series, the Great Grimoire Review! Each year, Scorpio and Gemini will grab a grimoire or spellbook from their vast collections and discuss and dissect them on the podcast! Also, there will be a middle section where Gemini becomes deeply philosophical about, and we quote, moral ecology. What books did they bring? You'll have to press play to find out! 

We simply can't turn down an opportunity to talk to Monica Bodirsky on the pod and once again she delivered! There's a little bit for everyone - she discusses her recent time in Salem, her brand new lenormand deck, Wicked Tales, her elemental retreat and the illustrious Obsidian Academy, plus she teases her 2026 plans. 

Happy New Moon witches! Gemini and Scorpio read How to Kill a Witch By Claire Mitchell and Zoe Venditozzi, the Witches of Scotland, and had a LOT to say about it. The subtitle for this episode might just be "The Blood Magic of the Patriarchy" or "Resistance in the Face of a Witch Hunt" because this book managed to be not just a really fun read about a historical period for Scotland, but also a facilitator of conversation about the struggles of living in the version of America that is on fire. Also, we talk about Sinners and how y'all should watch that (not Gemini though, she's soft)!

We're baaaaack witches! For our first episode post maternity leave, we discuss our suggestions for a "dabbler's week" - one week to get into witchcraft for the first time. But don't worry, as usual, it's more than that, with ideas even a seasoned witch can use!
