DatC Film Club 10 - Coven of Sisters (2020)

Hello and thank you once again for joining us down at the crossroads for some music, magick, and Paganism. Where witches gather for the sabbath, offerings are made, pacts are signed for musical fame and we usually cross paths with today's most influential Pagans, occultists, and deep thinkers, but tonight that's not happening because it's film club time. I am your bewitching, bald headed, host Chris Orapello and tonight, Tara and I are joined by a friend as we journey back to the 17th century Basque witch trials to learn about the witch's sabbath. What does a goat in a cassock and a pig in a ruff have in common? Find out by joining us as we watch Pablo Agüero's 2020 film "Coven of Sisters." So make some popcorn. Secure your copy, sit down and get comfortable as we get into tonight's movie.

Where witches gather for the sabbath, offerings are made, pacts are signed for musical fame, and we usually cross paths with today's most influential Pagans, occultists, and deep thinkers, but tonight that isn't happening because it's minisode time! That's right. It's time to get personal. I am your bewitching, baldheaded, host Chris Orapello and tonight Tara and I sit down to discuss a question sent in by a listener regarding covens. Creating them. Establishing them. Running them. Finding members, etc. We take on this huge topic in about an hour. Hopefully there's plenty of food for thought contained within. Without a doubt, it's definitely a topic we may revisit because it's just that gigantic of a thing. So, be sure to let us know what you think.(Click here for the full show notes)

Hello and thank you once again for joining us down at the crossroads for some music, magick, and Paganism. Where witches gather for the sabbath, offerings are made, pacts are signed for musical fame and we cross paths with today's most influential Pagans, occultists, and deep thinkers. I am your bewitching, bald headed, host Chris Orapello and tonight Tara and I meet with podcaster and author Lonnie Scott to discuss his path as a Chaonimist Heathen Sorcerer and more. Lonnie is the midwestern regional steward for The Troth and a future author with Llewellyn books. During the discussion we get into his involvement with Paganism and Heathenry, his experiences with the paranormal and hunting vampires, his first legit WTF moment, his involvement with The Troth, living in Saga Times, Problems within modern Heathenry, its Wiccan roots, and why Lonnie is a bad Heathen. This was an overdue yet frank discussion and we're finally glad to have Lonnie on the show and to address an area of modern practice that we've largely avoided until now. Now, along with our discussion we will be hearing music by Faun, Hey Satan, SJ Tucker, Langfinger, and Wardruna. (Click here for the complete show notes)
