HAPPY HALLOWEEN! This year we're talking about sacrifice - including human sacrifice so TRIGGER WARNING: death and child loss/sacrifice. Every Halloween we examine some of the myths and legends that make up the image of The Halloween Witch, and the ways it differs from real witchcraft. In this episode you'll learn what sacrifice and offerings mean to modern witches, how to make them in your own practice, and some of the interesting difference across cultures and religions. Then we get spooky - human sacrifice, and hurting children - is a big bad ugly part of the popular fiction about evil witches. Where did this come from, and why do these ideas persist? Also... where and why were ancient people sacrificing humans in the first place?! This is not an episode to listen to with your kids or trick or treaters, sorry everyone! But I hope you find it as fascinating, infuriating, and magical I did. Happy Halloween!

Hello again witches, seekers, and friends - and thank you for tuning in to The Fat Feminist Witch Podcast for my annual Very Fat Feminist Halloween Special! Every year at Halloween we examine some of the stories, tropes, and stereotypes that have contributed to the image of the Halloween Witch, the ways we celebrate her and the holiday, and how that image impacts real modern witches. This year we're not talking specifically about witches, but about magical practitioners whose legends and religious beliefs have contributed to our favourite Halloween Horrors. Though most modern zombie movies fit well into the science fiction genre, at one time they were filled with evil magic performed by "Voodoo witch doctors". Before that, the story and name of the zombi and of raising the dead was a real practice in Haitian Vodou. Lilith Dorsey, author of Voodoo and African Traditional Religion joins me to talk about zombis and zombies, the vodou origins, their hollywood present, and a possible future where the genre can embrace it's magical roots. Visit Voodoo Universe, Lilith's Patheos blog and her website lilithdorsey.com to learn more about her! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Hello friends! Thank you so much for tuning in today I'm really excited to be back! Today's episode is an exploration for the eye in magic, be it third or evil, belonging to an Egyptian god or floating atop a glowing pyramid. I'm going to tell you how to diagnose the presence of the evil eye and ways to shake it off, and how to balance the energy of your brow chakra. Are you a big music fan? If you use Spotify to listen to the show look for the version of this episode labeled B-SIDE - I've filled the episode with music breaks featuring songs about eyes, vision, clairvoyance, and some that resonate with the third eye itself. You can find the whole playlist, including songs I didn't end up using, here. The book referenced with the evil eye cure is Italian Folk Magic by Mary-Grace Fahrun (amazon.com | amazon.ca) You can watch her video demonstrating the cure on her YouTube Channel - link. You can also find Agatha De Santis's fabulous film Malocchio on YouTube - link. Like what you hear on The Fat Feminist Witch Podcast?

Hey friends! Thank you for joining me on this chilly fall Friday the 13th! Today I'm talking about numerology and working with numbers even if you have a math-related learning disability like Dyscalculia, which I have! Even with my issues, Numerology is both shockingly simple, and accurate. I'm also talking about some other uses for numbers in your magical practice outside of the art of numerology.   Get your Personal Numerology print-out HERE!   The books I used for research are: In Focus Numerology by Sasha Fenton The Ultimate Guide to Numerology by Tania Gabrielle The Numerology Handbook by Tania Gabrielle   Thank you to my advertisers for this episode: Better Help - Want to get 10% off your first month of online counselling through Betterhelp? visit http://betterhelp.com/fatfeministwitch WeMoon - get 15% off your entire order with coupon code FEMINIST at HTTP://wemoon.ws The Twelfth House Podcast - Listen on Spotify now!   Connect with me!   The Blog: http://thefatfeministwitch.com Facebook: The Fat Feminist Witch Twitter: @fatfemnistwitch Instagram: FatFeministWitch Pinterest: FatFemnistWitch   Listen on Spotify!   Support the show!   Patreon: http://patreon.com/thefatfeministwitch Buy me a ☕ : https://ko-fi.com/thefatfeministwitch Advertise on The Fat Feminist Witch: http://advertisecast.com/thefatfeministwitch     As always the opening and closing track is Back To The 90s (Douglas Mulvey AKA D-REX) / CC BY 4.0)

Hey friends and thank you so much for tuning in to the show! Today's episode is pumpkin spiced and full of practical magic. I'll be talking about the magical properties of pumpkins and the spice blend we use to flavour them – ie how magical IS your pumpkin spice latte, really? I'm also talking a bit about Practical Magic! This 90s rom-com is so popular with witches of my generation and the continuation of the series of books on which the movie is based has only dragged us all further and further into the world of the Owens witches. The newest installment – Magic Lessons – which tells the story of the OG Owens witch Maria has just come out. If it's even half as good as Practical Magic and The Rules of Magic it should definitely be on your to-read list.     Thank you to my advertisers for this episode: Better Help - Want to get 10% off your first month of online counselling through Betterhelp? visit http://betterhelp.com/fatfeministwitch Green Moon Apothecary - Get 10% off your first order with the code FFW10!

Hey friends! And thank you so much for joining me today – on this beautiful very first day of October! That's right, it is, officially, the season of the witch! This year's Halloween season is especially special because the month of October is bookended by these 2 beautiful full moons. Tonight's full moon is the Harvest moon in the sign of Aries, while on Halloween night we have the supreme pleasure of a blue moon in Taurus. Today I am incredibly excited to welcome in the Season of the Witch with an interview with Michael Herkes, author of The GLAM witch, all about his personal practice as a devotee of Lilith, and The Complete Book of Moon Spells which came out  July 14th! Get The Complete Book of Moon Spells and The GLAM Witch from Bookshop.com You can find out more about Michael at his website theglamwitch.com, on Instagram at instagram.com/the.glam.witch, in Witch Way Magazine witchwaymagazine.com, and at Gather the Witches: A Virtual Samhain Celebration October 24-25!   Today's special interview with Michael Herkes is sponsored by the lovely witches at Green Moon Apothecary, a subscription box service for cannawitches, or witches who use cannabis for magic, self-care, and fun.   Website: www.greenmoon.ca Social: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/green.moon.apothecary/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gmapothecary/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/gmapothecary Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.ca/greenmoonapothecary/pins/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/0elcjayhu21r1imwnnsdzd8hr (Green Moon Apothecary)   The Grimoire Journal: A Place to Record Spells, Rituals, Recipes, and More is available RIGHT NOW! >Order Here   My first book - GREEN WITCHCRAFT: A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO DISCOVERING THE MAGIC OF PLANTS, HERBS, CRYSTALS, AND BEYOND is now on sale!

Today's topic is magical protection – using spells and rituals to protect your body, home, emotions, psychic self, and friends. This is the second episode in my new series of episodes about baneful bitchcraft – curses, hexes, and taboo magic for revenge and destruction. Protection spells aren't inherently baneful, of course, but many are used in self-defence. It's also pretty prudent to cast protection spells on yourself before casting curses or as part of a larger ritual. I've also got a review for Miss Aida's new book - Hoodoo Cleansing and Protection Magic!   Thank you to my advertisers for this episode: Better Help - Want to get 10% off your first month of online counselling through Betterhelp? visit http://betterhelp.com/fatfeministwitch and my newest advertiser - Wylde Faun!

Good evening stargazers and thank you so much for joining me today as we talk about what I call cosmic conjure or star magic. This is a branch of magic that draws energy from celestial sources, follows cosmic or astrological seasons and directives, and features spirits and deities of an extra-terrestrial nature. In this episode I'll teach you how to find a star of power and draw down stellar energy, how to work with the fixed stars of antiquity, and their associated terrestrial material magica, and sharing some some star magic spells and rituals I've created over the years.    Links and Books: Star Magic by Sandra Kynes Earth, Air, Fire, & Water by Scott Cunningham Brady's Book of Fixed Stars by Bernadette Brady https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behenian_fixed_star https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crux https://timenomad.app/documentation/fixed-stars-in-astrological-chart.html https://timenomad.app/posts/astrology/philosophy/2019/05/03/fixed-stars-in-astrology.html https://www.constellationsofwords.com/categories/natalrobson.htm https://thefatfeministwitch.com/2019/03/06/magic-rocks-from-outer-space/ https://thefatfeministwitch.com/2018/10/02/sketchy-herbs-magic-rocks-borage-galaxyite/ https://thefatfeministwitch.com/2017/08/11/30daysmagicalroots-day-11-write-a-spell/ https://milky-way.kiwi/november/te-waka-o-tama-rereti/ https://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/skat-radiant-for-delta-aquarid-meteors Calculate Planetary Days/Hours - https://www.lunarium.co.uk/planets/hours.jsp   The Grimoire Journal: A Place to Record Spells, Rituals, Recipes, and More is available RIGHT NOW! >Order Here   My first book - GREEN WITCHCRAFT: A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO DISCOVERING THE MAGIC OF PLANTS, HERBS, CRYSTALS, AND BEYOND is now on sale!

(I've been watching old episodes of CRIBS...) We are all staying home a little more than usual and I recently moved to a new place, so the magic of home and hearth is at the forefront of my mind. Today we're talking about how to use magic to make the energy of your bedroom more conducive to your intentions or needs, setting up bedroom altars, colour magic, crystals, and casting spells in your most intimate space.   “The most important ceremonies aren't the ones full of pomp and flash. They are the little everyday things we do with the people we love, and these rituals and rites of passage are what fuel and protect us best.” ― Sara Bourgeois, Festively Hexed   I have a new book coming out!

Hello everyone and thank you for tuning in to episode 68 clear knowing – all about the powers of psychic intuition. This method of experiencing psychic phenomena or receiving spiritual messages involves a sudden and unshakable KNOWING. A claircognizant person will suddenly know the answer to a problem, they'll just know they have to turn right here even though the directions say go straight, they just KNOW when someone is lying and they know it like they know their own name. It's not a guess, it's a clear fact that you cannot disbelieve because everything in you is saying THIS IS IT. Despite the fact that this is probably one of the most common psychic abilities, it's one we rarely talk about and that can even be pushed aside or considered minor!  the crystals discussed in today's episode can all be found in The Complete Crystal Handbook by Cassandra Eason Want to develop your psychic abilities? check out Develop Your ESP by Nina Ashby   Special thanks to our newest advertiser: Wild Magick.

Hello friends and thank you so much for tuning in to episode 63 of the podcast. Today's episode is kind of an extension from an episode I put out last year called Witches, Midwives and Doulas all about the role of midwives, herbalists, and medicine women in the history of witchcraft and women's rights.

I'm going to talk a little about attitudes about abortion and conception and how that affected women and witches, and I've got some practical information about sketchy herbs and magic rocks and deities you can use in magic for reproductive freedom!   More info:  Wise Woman Herbal For The Childbearing Year by Susun Weed The Glam Witch by Michael Herkes (all about Lilith!)
