This is our first show back after some tech issues. Meaning, part of it was recorded before January 6th, 2021, and part was recorded after the terrorist attack by white supremest T supporters. We touch oh so briefly ( maybe 30 seconds) on the fact that we do not support or condone, nor have we ever, #45, and wish #25 would be invoked ASAP.

Such a complicated issue. Or is it? Well listen and find out! There are conflicting sources and definitely a whole big bag of opinions… ah opinions – everyone has one. Including us! Detta started as a Wiccan and is moving toward Irish Witchcraft ( but still loves and uses a lot her Wiccan roots). Corey has done some research on Wicca over the years as she has deepened her life as a witch. We discuss this, share what we love share what we are critical of and as always encourage you to follow your instincts and let any judgements you may trip on – kick that rock out of your way and continue on the path YOU choose. We would love to hear from you! What do you think? Do you practice Wicca? Do you practice Witchcraft? Do you practice both? If you liked the show we hope you take the time to give us a review! Thanks for listening! Wiccan Resources: Authors: Scott Cunningham ( anything he wrote ) The Witch's Bible – Janet and Stewart Farrar Doreen Valiente – The Charge of The Goddess Drawing Down The Moon – Margaret Adler 78 Degrees of Wisdom: A book of Tarot – Pollock AND yes – I (Detta) am going here people – she is controversial. Love or Hate or – like me – eh – conflicted- Silver Ravenwolf. I don't agree with all of her research or practices, but some are just fine. Llewellen Books – the Witches Datebook, The Witches Almanac and so many more. And most recently I started listening to The Modern Guide to Witchcraft by Skye Alexander. I'll let you know what I think. History of Witchcraft Books ( Salem Specific) Six Women of Salem: The Untold Story of the Accused and Their Accusers in Salem -Roach The Salem Witch Trials: A Day-by-Day Chronicle of a Community Under Siege Storm Of Witchcraft – Baker History of Witchcraft Malleus Maleficarum – This is a condemnation of Witchcraft but gives you context for what women went through. The Witch-Hunt in Early Modern Europe – Levack The Visions of Isobel Gowdie: Magic, Witchcraft and Dark Shamanism in Seventeenth-century Scotland – Wilby If you can get your hands on any of Máire MacNeill's work. Most is out of print. You can find some information on Jstor.org Throughout the rest of the season Detta will be providing some books titles over the next couple weeks that are specific to Irish Witchcraft, some history and lore for British, Scottish and Jewish – women and possibly witchcraft.

Welcome Our beautiful guest Natalie! Founder of Heart of Hathor IG @heart.of.hathor FB @heartofhathor27 Detta here: As I say in the podcast I believe the study of Witchcraft is a little like a liberal arts education – you study other subjects that may inform your practice, those studies may enhance your practice or you may decide it was interesting but nothing to do with your work. Light Language work has many similarities with witchcraft and embraces many of the same principals. Spark: Corey and Detta had the SAME SPARK! Warrior Goddess Witchcraft You can also find her on IG @warriorgoddesswitchcraft Her instagram page is inspiring, her podcast enchanting, and she is a delightful human being.

Today we share a brief moment in memory of RBG. The energy of grief and flowing. Then we focus on raising energy for spell work, honoring, and celebration and grounding that energy to keep you safe.

Happy Tuesday ( and New moon this September 17th) Today we talk about The Autumnal Equinox Mabon. Which we pronounce in a very American way ( sorry) We celebrate the Sabbat (sab-uht) in the Northern hemisphere on September 21st through 29th ( specifically September 22nd) this year. Corey gives a great history lesson and introduces many correspondences – herbs, crystals and colors. ( Boston public library and personal insight). Please do your research on Aiden Kelly and recognize that Mabon is a Neo- Pagan term. We don’t do a deep dive as this ep is about CELEBRATION! We discuss the type of spell work and ritual that this season boost and do some heavy lifting in exploring intentions and our opinions on how best to work with this new season, give some ideas for doing the work with all the “stuff”. Detta gives a structure outline for her ritual practice. We are moving into the dark part of the year. There is amazing and powerful work to be done! Next week we do a deep dive into energy raising and share some specific work that we do during our rituals. We will be sharing some exercises, spell structures, and some actual spell grammary with all the dressings (corresponding – herbs, crystals, celestial timings etc) that we encourage you to make your own. We hope you join us!
