Welcome back, Witches! This week we’re diving into our Taboo Magic episode, where we explore topics like blood magic, necromancy, sex magic, and other practices that are often labeled “forbidden.” Rather than treating them as shock value, we’re looking at their historical roots, cultural contexts, symbolism, and the ways these traditions have been understood across different communities. So get in, Loser — because this week we’re having an honest, thoughtful conversation about the magic that lives at the edges.

Welcome back, Witches! This week we’re continuing our Deities series with a deep dive into two powerful figures from Norse mythology: Freyja and Gullveig.

Along the way, we talk about their connections to seiðr, mystery, and what their legends can teach us about working with powerful feminine forces in magical practice. So get in, Loser, because this week we’re stepping into the world of the Norse gods.

Episode 198: Norse Deities

Welcome back, Witches! This week we’re dropping in with a bonus episode that many of you have been asking for where Sam and I chat about what we’re currently reading, watching, and listening to. For reasons we’re still trying to fully understand, there has been a surprising amount of curiosity about the completely ordinary media that fills our downtime, but honestly we’re here for it. In this episode we share the books on our nightstands, the shows we’ve been hooked on, and the music and podcasts that have been in our regular rotation lately. It’s a little peek into the mundane corners of our lives outside of magic and mythology, and apparently that’s exactly what you all wanted. So get in, Loser, because this week we’re hanging out and talking about what’s been keeping us entertained lately.
