    Episode 53: Bizarre Witchcraft Accusations From History

    This week on Two Witches Talking, your two witchy aunts are diving deep into one of history's most chaotic and bloody chapters — the “witch” trials. They’re talking about the bizarre, the baffling, and the downright absurd accusations that had entire communities pointing fingers at their neighbors. From King James I's full-blown obsession with witchcraft (seriously, the man wrote a whole book about it) to the Malleus Maleficarum — the notorious witch-hunting manual that basically became the blueprint for hysteria — Megan and Morgan are unpacking the historical and religious forces that made this dark era possible. And oh, the accusations themselves? Buckle up. They’re getting into witch cakes, animal familiars, and the kind of "evidence" that would get laughed out of any courtroom today — and should have then too, because where’s the logic? They explore the deeply tangled social context that turned neighbor against neighbor in Colonial America, and they end on a note that's equal parts sobering and hopeful: the long road to exonerating the accused, some of which took centuries. It's a wild ride through history that reminds us just how dangerous fear and superstition can be, and how important it is that we never forget it.

    Episode 52: Outdated Witchcraft Laws

    Did you know that laws regulating practices associated with witchcraft, divination, and fortune-telling still exist across the United States — and in many countries around the world? In this episode of Two Witches Talking, Megan and Morgan dig into the surprising and often overlooked legal landscape facing practitioners today. From state-specific licensing requirements to outright bans, the witches walk through the patchwork of American regulations and explore some of the ongoing legal battles that are actively shaping the rights of witches and diviners in the modern era. They also zoom out to look at international witchcraft laws, many of which have deep roots in colonialism and continue to have serious consequences for practitioners in affected regions. They discuss the historical context behind how these laws came to exist, what repeals and reforms have looked like in recent years, and what all of this means culturally for those who practice today. Whether you're a practitioner yourself or just witchcraft-curious, this episode will leave you thinking about the intersection of magick, law, and cultural identity in a whole new way.

    Episode 49: Cultural Appropriation in Witchcraft

    In this important and nuanced conversation, Megan and Morgan explore the realities of cultural appropriation within modern witchcraft. They unpack what “closed practices” actually mean, why they exist, and why white practitioners in particular must approach these traditions with humility and accountability. The episode moves beyond surface-level discourse and into deeper reflection: What is the difference between appreciation and appropriation? What does it mean to be invited into a tradition? How do historical trauma, colonization, and systemic oppression shape spiritual boundaries today? Megan and Morgan discuss the responsibility that comes with practicing witchcraft in the modern era, especially for white witches navigating spiritual curiosity in a world where information is widely accessible but not always ethically shared. This episode is not about shame. It’s about awareness. It’s about learning to honor ancestral traditions, respecting community boundaries, and doing the internal work necessary to build a spiritual practice rooted in integrity rather than entitlement. What We Cover in this Episode What “closed practice” really means in spiritual communities Why Hoodoo and Voodoo are not open-access traditions The historical context behind spiritual protection and boundary-setting The difference between cultural exchange and cultural appropriation Why being “invited in” matters—and what that invitation actually entails The responsibility of white witches in modern spiritual spaces How to honor other cultures without appropriating them The importance of exploring your own ancestral roots Why self-reflection is foundational to ethical witchcraft We want your witchy, spooky, or cryptid stories!  Submit them to: TwoWitchesTalkingPod@gmail.com  Find us online: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twowitchestalking/
