Robert Egger's The Witch (2015) with Sophia Somerville

This week we are sharing one from the archives for Halloween! We unpack the gothic folktale The Witch (2015) directed by Robert Eggers in a delicious and bewitching episode joined by ever so talented Sophia Somerville of Southern Spells. Sophia is a Sydney-based writer and creator of ‘Southern Spells’ (southernspells.com). In this episode, we touch on the cynicism of newageism, 90s witch flicks and coming out as a witch. Unwind with a tea, some incense and a tarot deck for this episode.
