    Samhain Explained: History, Rituals, and the Real Meaning of the Thinning Veil

    As the nights stretch longer and the veil between worlds grows thin, Samhain marks a powerful turning point, a moment to honor the dead, release what’s ready to go, and welcome the magic of new beginnings.  In this episode of Demystify Magic, we begin our Wheel of the Year series with a deep (and delightfully nerdy) dive into the history and meaning of Samhain, the ancient Celtic fire festival often called The Witches’ New Year. We unpack the real origins of the Wheel of the Year, explore how Samhain inspired modern Halloween, and share low-effort, high-impact ways to celebrate from ancestor altars and dumb suppers to fire scrying and candle rituals. Along the way, we talk about grief, psychic boundaries, and finding a little warmth and wonder in the darker months ahead. Whether you’re witch-curious or walking the Wheel year after year, this episode will help you honor Samhain with intention, humor, and heart. Tune in and join us as we demystify Samhain, where science meets spirit, and the veil grows thin.

    Mundane Magic: Thresholds, Transitions, and the Energy of In-Between Spaces

    What if the most magical parts of your home were the ones you usually overlook? In this episode of our Mundane Magic series, we’re diving into the hallways, closets, basements, guest rooms, and other “in-between” spaces that tend to collect clutter. These thresholds aren’t just storage zones, they’re energetic portals where you can ground, cleanse, and invite fresh flow into your daily life.  You’ll learn simple, practical ways to work magic in these areas, from crystals like selenite and hematite, to cobweb-clearing rituals for mental clarity, to a kid-friendly nightmare-banishing spray. We also talk about how home repairs, seasonal cleanouts, and even that overflowing coat closet can become intentional acts of energy work.  Pre-order Molly’s book Mundane Magic A Lazy Witch's Guide to Hacking Your Brain, Building a Daily Practice, and Getting Stuff Done ⁠Preorder Mundane Magic & Join the Virtual Book Tour⁠⁠: Celebrate the release of Molly's new book with an exclusive online event on Feb 21, 12 PM EST.

    Behind Ed & Lorraine Warren: How the "Demonologists" Weaponized Fear (and Witchcraft)

    We’re putting the folklore of Ed and Lorraine Warren under a microscope in this episode. Madison leads a fiery deep dive while Molly brings outside research and big questions. We unpack how the Warrens’ self-made legend from “demonologists” to pop-culture darlings via The Conjuring collides with allegations, contradictions, and media spin. Plus we take a deep look into the reasoning why Matt Rife bought the Annabelle house and his new brand deal campaign with E.L.F Cosmetics. Have any thoughts or sources we should read next?
