Images of witches are synonymous with those of graveyards and cemeteries and for good reason. These places of rest serve as memorials and mausoleums to our ancestors as well as gateways between the realms of the living and the dead. Witches often find cemeteries and graveyards soothing, a place where they are understood, can explore spiritual gifts, gather magical supplies, give offerings, and find solace that doesn't quite exist among the land of the living. Join us as we unlock the magickal mysteries that exist beyond the graveyard gates. And stay tuned for the next episode in our new LIMINAL Series, where we explore in-betwixt places in greater depth.

Welcome to Season 5, Oracles!!! Did your granny or mom have witchy customs, folk remedies, and Old Wives Tales they taught you? Things like: hang a horseshoe above the door to ward off evil and bring good luck. Grow mint out your back door to draw in money. Rub a baby's gums with whiskey to relieve tooth pain. Come with us on our broomsticks as we explore our American witchcraft traditions, specifically when it comes to the magic we learned from our grannies...aka granny magic from the Appalachians, Ozarks, Maryland farmland and Tennessee hills!
Just who is the Allfather, the Norse God of War and King of the Aesir? In this berserk episode and our season 4 finale, Kitty and Allorah introduce you to one of their patron deities - Odin. We tell some of our favorite stories of him, explore a few of his 170+ names, and give recommendations on how to work with Odin in your pagan or heathen practice. Warning: there may be some flyting and laughter throughout.
What is healing, exactly? What is medicine? What is the best way for witches and people in general to maintain a healthy life? In this episode, Kitty and Allorah explore the pros and cons to western medicine AND holistic medicine and seek to find a happy and healthy medium between both medical fields.

In our first Heroes & Villains episode, we'll have tea with the heroic Queen of England, Anne Boleyn. There are two sides to everyone - a light side and a dark side. Our newest continuing series we call Heroes and Villains seeks to better understand the many complex facets of the human experience. The good and the bad. The joy, love and laughter. The greed, jealousy, and fear. In this series we will meet various mystical figures from the past, many that have warranted much controversy over the years. Here on the Otherworldly Oracle Official Podcast, we will tell the “heroes” tales while over on our sister podcast, Mimir's Well, the same figure's villainous side will be investigated. This is to posit that any of us can occupy these roles simultaneously or be both and yet neither, no matter our portrayal in society.
Imagine there was once a place that was technologically, physically and spiritually advanced. Where people lived in harmony with one another and celebrated each other in every facet.

She's the ancient Alpine goddess of women, children, and the afterlife. A psychopomp, healer and shapeshifter. Once a beloved, beautiful deity dressed in all white, the Church demonized her and demoted her to a child-eating Christmas hag. Her name is Berchta. And in our first official episode in our Deity Series, we meet the Bright Lady and learn how and why her cult was suppressed, how Berchta became the leader of the Wild Hunt, how to work with this goddess and much more.
He is the wild guardian of the forest. The face of nature and the force that governs the life, death and rebirth cycles of the earth. He is the Green Man. In this episode, Kitty and Allorah journey into the far reaches of ancient groves to meet the Green Man and determine whether he is fae, elemental, or pagan god. In addition, we theorize whether the Green Man is actually a manifestation of other primal pagan gods like Pan or Cernunnos, as well as link this mysterious figure to modern day May Day processions, sasquatch, Robin Hood and MORE!
Hecate. Lilith. Odin. Baba Yaga. There are certain ancient deities that rule over the domains of magick, sorcery, herbalism, and death. These deities are considered witchcraft goddesses and gods.

And we'll debate whether a familiar can actually be a magical pet or not.
VIKINGS. Sea Wolves. Ferocious invaders from the North. But our seafaring ancestors were much more than the history books describe. They had beliefs, goals, and wanted to do more than survive - they wanted to thrive. In this adventurous episode, Kitty takes us on a journey across the sea to the land of our pagan ancestors - the Danish, Swedish, and Norse Vikings. We will meet some of the most infamous Vikings like Ragnar Lodbrok and Erik the Red and try to understand the way they looked at the gods and the world.

Ahhhh Druids. Celtic. Ancient. Mysterious. The word Druid is thrown around quite a bit when you enter into the exploration of Celtic neo-paganism. But beyond being associated with nature, magick, and Ireland what do we really know about the Druids? In this mystifying episode, Allorah walks us through what we think we know about the history of the Druids, how to incorporate modern Druidry into your practice, and how to connect with your Druid pagan ancestors.

In this otherworldly episode, Kitty and Allorah introduce you to a dozen kinds of household fairies, that is...fae that sometimes choose to take up residence in a human's space.

What witch doesn't love a good fairy tale? Especially one that has a witch in it? Allorah and Kitty adore fairy tales and always have. In this mesmerizing episode, your fave witches take a deep look at the origins of our favorite bedtime stories including the shamanic and darker aspects of Hansel and Gretel, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, Mother Holle and more.

For our fourth season premiere, we've recruited a long-time friend and newly published author George Hares to explore the intriguing world of British Folk Magic with us. George Hares is the author of Barbarous Words: A Compendium of Conjurations, British Folk Magic and Other Popish Charms, of which you can find on Amazon worldwide.

Join us for a magical ride!
This is the season finale, folks, and we thought it'd be perfect to go out with a sabbat bang – discussing our upcoming pagan holy-days, Yule and Litha. I live in the northern hemisphere and Allorah lives in the Southern Hemisphere, so we are talking on our respective sabbats this way our listeners get information on both pagan holy days in the month of December. We'll explore their pagan roots, ancient and modern Yule and Litha traditions, as well as provide their magical associations (herbs, foods, gods, animals, etc.)
A wide variety of cultures have experienced the same mythologies with different names and faces across the vastness of space and time. No idea what I mean? Take a seat around our campfire while we retell some of the most prolific stories known to man and explore their similarities and differences from culture to culture (also called comparative mythology). Including the Hero's Journey, Miraculous Virgin Births, and the Great Flood myths.
Join us as we dig beyond the surface of the human psyche. In this episode we'll be discussing an elusive (sometimes scary) and alluring topic to many: Shadow Work. What is it? How do you do it? What are the benefits? And why is it an integral part of witchcraft? WARNING: This episode will not be for the faint of heart and contains material of an adult nature that may be triggering to some individuals. Neither of the hosts is a professional in the area of psychology and the information given here is purely for reference. We encourage all of our listeners to do their own research on this topic. Listener discretion is advised.
Self-care is something many of us struggle with. We have too much going on in our lives and often we find ourselves caring for everyone else but ourselves. News flash! Self-care is extra important for witches for a myriad of reasons. So in this episode, we talk about how you can incorporate self-care routines and rituals into your daily life. And how to witch-ify your self-care practices with ritual baths, kitchen magic and more!
We all know MAGICK is about your intentions...but is there more to it than that? What if you're feeling uninspired or like your spells are failing? There's SO much to spell casting that isn't often discussed in the witchcraft community. So we welcome you to join us for this spellcrafting hour with Allorah and Kitty...in witch they share all of their personal spell working tips and tricks including creative tools and ingredients, how to dispose of spell remnants properly and MUCH more!

In this special episode, Allorah offers us an in-depth guide on how to study and gain connection with everything from cartomancy (Tarot and Oracle cards) to spirit boards to astrology. Including divination journaling, joining Tarot organizations, and much more!
