    S1-E8 Beyond the Binary

    This episode is a conversation with Dr. Alice Elizabeth Wilson in honor of the magic and the practitioners who don't fit into tidy gender boxes, those who move through life with fierce ambiguity and who defy labels. Together, we explore the Crone not as a fixed role bound to womanhood or age, but as a powerful, liminal archetype that resists patriarchal structures and binary thinking. Join in our discussion of how the Crone's energy can help us move toward a more fluid and expansive magical path. More about Alice! Check out Witches, Sluts, Feminists here!

    S1-E3 The Art of Release

    This first episode of 2025 looks at ways to further close the chapter of 2024 and step gracefully into the new year. This episode dives into the art of letting go—not just as an act of release, but as a powerful ritual of renewal and weaving new paths forward, with a new take on the traditional cord cutting when it's time to lighten our load so we can move forward in the best way possible. Please feel free to use these words of power for your ritual of release: As I weave these threads of mine, My past and future intertwine. One for my sorrow, one to be healed, Resilient reminders that I shall not yield.  This project is a labor of love with no strings attached!
