Welcome to Are We Witches? A podcast for the witch-curious and the skeptical, hosted by two witches-in-training, Lisa Marmur and Sarah Drummond. We’re two friends diving headfirst into the enchanting world of modern witchcraft for the very first time. Together, we’ll explore magical realms, learn how to charge crystals, brew a little mischief, and maybe even tell the future. We have no idea what we’re doing (yet), but we’re here to document the journey—warts and all.  Our quest will take us through the history of witchcraft, unpacking its feminist, divine, beautiful, and problematic aspects. By understanding how magic shaped the world, we hope to uncover where magic still thrives today. If magic is real, we’re here to find it. So, are we witches? Are you? Join us every second Tuesday by the cauldron as we brew up some tea and see where the magic takes us. We couldn’t do it without you. Because, after all, it takes a village to raise a witch.

    Are We Witches...on the Moon?

    This episode is all about the Moon, Earth’s constant companion and the canvas for centuries of magic, myth and meaning. Sarah shares paranormal tricks she’s been holding onto, Lisa explores the complex (and sometimes overstated) links between the Moon and witchcraft, and together they offer Magic for the Masses with a simple Blood Moon ritual for the full moon and lunar eclipse the night of this episode's release! 🌕 Sources for Who?

    Were We Witches?

    Join Lisa and Sarah as they explore the science behind epigenetics, the “witch wound” and inherited trauma as they untangle the complexity of their current lives and the karmic potential of many more. Investigating this first hand, Lisa visits a past life psychic medium with good friend Monique. Having such a strong connection they want to know, is this the first life in which they met? Or have they met before?  Meanwhile Sarah looks for more signs from the universe (is she on the right path?) and our hosts offer a little DIY magic at home (we could all use a little help moving forward, right?). So join them for this deep dive special into past lives as they attempt to answer the question, is this their first time around?

    What's Up, Witches? #4

    On this, the last What's Up, Witches? of 2025, Lisa and Sarah share where the magic has been in the last couple of weeks, discuss what they've been thinking about since the last recording, and dive into some tarot and wine (Nebbiolo this time), to consider their life's purpose. No big deal. Are We Witches? will be back with minisodes over the holidays and new year, and taking some extra time to be with loved ones. -- Follow us on instagram at arewewitches and write to us at arewewitches@gmail.com Any problem you want a magical solution for, please write in for a bit of advice and a magical prescription.

    Are We Witches...With Familiars?

    Familiars take many shapes and sizes; cute, cunning and spectral. Posited as a spiritual companion, Sarah and Lisa wonder what it means to be accompanied by a familiar today. From the witch's black cat archetype to the spirit of a dead man sent from the Fairy Kingdom, the history of familiars is traced back to Early Modern England, where we find the first woman executed for witchcraft assisted by a cat named Sathan (pronounced 'Satan') and the "Witchfinder General" making wild accusations against diabolical animal spirits called Vinegar Tom, Pyewacket, and Grizzel. There is also a tarot spread chosen by a cat (what could he be trying to tell us?), suggestions for supporting your local wildlife, and the calming power of rose quartz helps to soothe a familiar in an anxious moment. This episode is co-hosted by Mina, Otto and Sven, beautiful, faithful familiars to the Are We Witches? podcast.
