    Ep.46 / Intention: New Age BS or the Heart of Magical Execution

    This week we dig into intention, maybe the most misused word in modern witchcraft. It got watered down into "set your intention and hope for the best," and then a backlash swung the other way and decided intention is fluff and real magic is all cold hard technique. So we go looking at how it actually worked. The magicians of the grimoires and the PGM didn't hope, they commanded, they issued orders and even threatened the gods themselves, but always on the back of days of purification and fasting and trained will. We get into the curse tablets and their flat commanding voice, the Neoplatonic idea of cosmic sympathy that explains why the herbs and the timing and the correspondences work at all, the Orphic hymns sung to draw a god down by the accuracy of the sound, and the whole apparatus of ceremony as a machine for reaching the state where the will can actually command. I yap about what intention actually is and where it lives, the difference between attention and intention, the evil eye as proof that focused will was always felt as a real force, working with spirits versus working alone, and what it actually means to set an intention Support the show on Patreon! @BetweenIIWorlds ⁠⁠https://patreon.com/betweenIIworlds⁠⁠ Follow me on Insta! @betweeniiworlds ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/betweeniiworlds/

    Ep.45 / Music, Sound and Melodies as Magical Medium

    Today we dive into music and melody as a powerful magical medium. We go through what music actually does to us, how rhythm slips past the thinking mind and opens the door, and the relationship between us, music, and spirits, how they might use it on us and how we use it with them. There is a deep connection between music and necromantic practice as well, the keen and the funeral song, the old belief that the dead can be reached through sound when they can no longer be reached any other way. We cover a lot of ground here, from Orpheus and the underworld to Pan's pipes, the sung spells and barbarous names of the old magicians, the folk charmers who healed by voice, and the musician-spirits like the nøkken who lure and bargain at the water. We get into who tried to control music and why, from the Church and the myth of the devil's interval, then we talk all things practical like how you can actually work with sound in your own craft, spirit playlists, song as spell, and the curating of instruments.

    Ep.44 / The Magica & Maleficia of Invisibility and Concealment

    This week, I talk all things invisibility magic. Across the historical and folk record, invisibility was about concealment: moving unnoticed, escaping enemies, avoiding the authorities, masking yourself from spirits and curses, hiding treasure, concealing your workings, and becoming forgotten on purpose. We move from the Ring of Gyges and the question of what people do when no one can see them, through the eye-ointments of the Greek Magical Papyri, the invisibility stones of Pliny and the medieval lapidaries, and the hagstone that does the opposite and lets you see through a glamour. Then into the grimoires to talk rites on bones... lots of beans and skulls! And even the magic squares of Abramelin and of course the discussion of practical uses for invisibility, some old folk charms and much more.

    Ep.43 / Horse Magic & Equine Folk Traditions

    This week we are talking about horses!! Horses as threshold animals, the psychopomp, the nightmare entity, and one of the most significant and cosmologically loaded creatures to appear across nearly every magical tradition in the world. We cover the Germanic nightmare and the hag-riding tradition, the folk magic of the Horseman's Word and its direct connection to the Toadmen of East Anglia, the horse as a fertility omen and its role in Roman sacrifice, Hekate's lesser known horse epithets and what they actually offer in practice, the shamanic drum as horse and its connection to the witch's broomstick as argued by Mircea Eliade in Shamanism: Archaic Techniques of Ecstasy, hippomancy and the oracular horse traditions of the ancient world, and a full practical section on working with horse materia including horseshoes, horse skulls, horsehair charms, the Man of Might, witch knots, and the Ozark witch bullet. Whether you have never touched a horse or have worked with them your whole life, this one is for you. Thank you for your support, your comments and ratings!

    Ep.42 / Spirit Matter: Fog, Smoke & the Witch’s Breath

    This week I wanted to explore something that has been physically surrounding me lately here on the coast, fog. But the deeper I sat with it, the more I began thinking about breath, mist, smoke, and vapor as something far more spiritual. Across countless traditions throughout history, breath has been understood as the soul itself, the animating force of life, the thing that leaves the body at death and lingers as mist, smoke, or spirit. I talk through folklore, ancient spiritual traditions, funeral customs, and magical practices surrounding breath as spirit matter, exploring everything from Greek pneuma and Hindu prana to graveyard fog, ancestor spirits, incense smoke, and the belief that spirits themselves manifest through vapor and cold air. I also dive deeply into the witch’s breath as a magical tool, discussing breath magic, smoke divination, spirit communication through incense, working with fog water, and why foggy landscapes have so often been treated as thresholds between worlds.

    Ep.41 / The Not-So-Secret Ways Christianity Shaped Witchcraft: Navigating it

    The craft many of us are trying to reclaim did not survive untouched, but was profoundly shaped by centuries of Christian influence, suppression, and syncretism. This episode I yap about the historical entanglement between Christianity and witchcraft, challenging the romantic idea of a pure, fully recoverable “old craft” by acknowledging that much of what we know about pre-Christian practices comes through the records, fears, and theological frameworks of those who sought to condemn or redefine them. Let's examine how the Church not only persecuted witches but actively helped construct the modern image of the witch through demonology, heresy narratives, and old texts while also tracing how folk practices survived by blending with Christian symbols, saints, prayers, feast days, and ritual forms. At the same time, I invite you to confront the personal and collective shadow this history leaves behind; the inherited fears, shame, moral binaries, and spiritual fragmentation that still live within many modern practitioners, especially those healing from religious trauma.

    Ep.40 / The Toad Who Feeds From The Witches Teat

    This episode is all about toads. Their deep history with witchcraft, their role as familiars in English witch trials, and why this ugly, mud-dwelling creature became one of the most feared and revered animals in the magical tradition. We look at the toad bone rite, toad stones.. and even toad doctors. We get into the actual pharmacology of toad skin, what those secretions contain and why that matters for the flying ointment conversation and medicinal uses through history. Finally, a conversation about liminality, about the power that lives in things we find repulsive, and about an animal that has been sitting at the threshold between worlds and one who goes through one of the most transformative metamorphosis. The toad is a long time friend, ally, imp of the witch with much more to unpack. Check me out and support the show on Patreon! ⁠⁠https://patreon.com/betweenIIworlds

    Ep.39 / Thought Forms To Life Forms: Servitors, Tulpas & Egregores

    Today we talk about servitors, tulpas, and egregores. What happens when a servitor goes off script and gains more agency than you intended. Of course there is a conversation on chaos magic and the difference between servitors through the lens of the psychological model and the spirit based model. We go deep into the history, from ancient Egypt's magical workforce to the golem traditions of Jewish mysticism to the moment Austin Osman Spare turned all of it into a technique anyone could use. Then we get practical: how to create one, how to keep it fed without losing control of it, how to maintain that relationship over time, and how to end it cleanly when the work is done. This episode is not entirely a how-to for servitors, but a deeper conversation on the topic of the witch conjuring a life form with purpose into the ether.
