Welcome back, Witches! This week we're tackling a listener-requested topic: how to research. Whether you're diving into a new magical practice, exploring folklore, learning about an herb, or investigating a historical claim, knowing how to evaluate information is an important skill. We're pulling back the curtain on our own research process, discussing what we look for when evaluating sources, the red flags that make us question an article's reliability, and how to determine whether information is trustworthy. If you've ever wondered how we sift through the endless amount of information available or wanted tips for strengthening your own research skills, this episode is for you. So get in, Loser — because this week we're sharpening our critical thinking skills and learning how to separate good information from bad.

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.
