    Fat Feminist Halloween Special 2024 - The Witch's Sacrifice

    HAPPY HALLOWEEN! This year we're talking about sacrifice - including human sacrifice so TRIGGER WARNING: death and child loss/sacrifice. Every Halloween we examine some of the myths and legends that make up the image of The Halloween Witch, and the ways it differs from real witchcraft. In this episode you'll learn what sacrifice and offerings mean to modern witches, how to make them in your own practice, and some of the interesting difference across cultures and religions. Then we get spooky - human sacrifice, and hurting children - is a big bad ugly part of the popular fiction about evil witches. Where did this come from, and why do these ideas persist? Also... where and why were ancient people sacrificing humans in the first place?! This is not an episode to listen to with your kids or trick or treaters, sorry everyone! But I hope you find it as fascinating, infuriating, and magical I did. Happy Halloween!

    Episode 106 - COVEN with Laura Hokstad

    Thank you so much everyone for joining me today on the Fat Feminist Witch Podcast. This week I have a really exciting DOUBLE FEATURE! I had a privilege to interview two of the stars of the new documentary about modern witches COVEN, which premiered last month on CBC. In this episode I'm talking with Laura Hokstad, a tarot reader and witch who is searching for a way to connect with others, and herself, through witchcraft. She visits some local covens and priestesses, each who have their own ways of bringing other witches together, and then she leaves Canada to explore ancestors in her past who are part of some of the biggest events in the history of witch trials. There is a transcription available for this episode, which you can download at the following link: Laura Transcript Find out more about COVEN by visiting covendoc.com Find Laura at Storm Crow Manor's Tarot Thursdays to get a tarot card reading! Storm Crow Manor Watch Laura talk about the entertaining ways tarot cards are used in some of your favourite horror films with her series TERROR TAROT on Rue Morgue's YouTube Channel!
