You can buy a crystal necklace or a stamped “talisman” online, but it won’t hold power until you put it to work. In this episode, we break down the real difference between a charm, an amulet, and a talisman not by definition, but by use. From pocket-worn coins to hidden scripture scraps and bone bundles carried against the skin, we talk about how magical objects don’t come pre-enchanted they become powerful through touch, sweat, fear, prayer, and being carried through real life. If it’s not worn down, it’s not working it’s just décor.

Everyone’s talking about “quantum manifestation” and “AI ascension,” like witchcraft suddenly needs Wi-Fi to be valid. In this episode, Sammie breaks down the techno-spiritual hype, from people channeling chatbots to witches using algorithms for divination, and asks the real question: Is this evolution, or just another shiny distraction?

Expect sarcasm, science, and a reminder that the magic isn’t in your phone. It’s in you.

Wicca’s getting dragged on WitchTok again this time for being racist, appropriated, or just plain outdated. But is it really that simple? In this episode, we take a hard look at Gerald Gardner’s colonial baggage, the real roots of Wicca, and where cultural appropriation actually shows up in modern witchcraft. We’ll cut through the noise, define appropriation clearly, and talk about how Wiccans today can practice in ways that are ethical, respectful, and real.

This isn’t about canceling Wicca it’s about unlearning the blind spots and reclaiming the parts of the tradition worth keeping.

Everyone's rushing to Samhain, but the most potent magic of the season is happening right now. This is the forgotten time: the weird, quiet, liminal space after the Equinox but before the veil-ripping chaos.

Forget the aesthetic rush to the next holiday. This episode is about the real, hard work of the waning season. We dive into the unglamorous but crucial work of Maintenance Magic: clearing out the stagnant energy of summer, recharging your wards, and properly disposing of old spell remains.

This isn't about fluffy rituals; it's about Witchy Practicality. We show you how to use the quieter autumn dusk for simple Ancestor Listening and dream work, preparing you for the deep darkness ahead. Learn what you need to be doing now—like collecting the last viable herbs and stocking up your witch's toolkit—to ensure you survive the winter.

Your magic doesn't have to run on the commercial calendar. This is a show for witches who know that the power is in the slow, intentional exhale and the dirt under your nails, not the glitter. Slow down, get to work, and stop rushing your craft.

The Quiet Between the Festivals

This is my favorite time of year, not for the rituals, but for the work. This is the season when I personally feel the magic intensify, when my senses sharpen, and my spirit awakens.

In this episode, I'm taking you into my own practice for the post-equinox season. I'll talk about how I use this time to harvest the spiritual seeds I've sewn throughout the year, reflecting on the lessons learned and the energy spent. This is also when I feel most connected to my ancestors, a time when the veil thins and their presence feels close. I'll share how I honor their energy and how it fuels some of my most powerful workings of the year.

This isn't about celebrating the holiday; it's about celebrating the cycle. It's about why the witch's favorite season is often when the light begins to fade, because that is when the real magic begins.

Everyone wants to be a witch these days. But what about the ones who kept the craft alive in secret, in shadow, and under fire? In this episode, I am pulling back the glittery veil of WitchTok and “starter kits” to talk about the real history of witchcraft’s survival.

From the repeal of the Witchcraft Act in 1951 and the rise of Wicca in the 1960s, to the Satanic Panic of the 80s, and the trend-driven witch surge of today, we’ll trace how witchcraft keeps cycling through pop culture. We’ll also examine what gets lost in the noise. This is a call to respect: for the witches who risked their freedom, for the elders who kept the flame lit when it was not safe, and for the unnamed folk witches who healed, protected, and endured.

If you have ever wondered what it really means to claim the word “witch,” this episode will challenge you to go deeper than hashtags and crystal bundles.
