Send us a textIn this Yuletide episode of the Magick Kitchen Podcast, Leandra Witchwood and Elyse Welles are joined by fiber artist and co-host of the Knit a Spell podcast, Katie Rempe, for a deep and soulful conversation about fiber magic, stitch witchery, and ancestral craft.Together they explore knitting, embroidery, mending, sewing, spinning, and textile arts as ancient magical practices — ways of weaving intention, prayer, and protection directly into everyday life. From blood, sweat, and tears stitched into garments, to repetitive motion as meditation, to crafting as a gateway for intuition and ancestral connection, this episode invites listeners to remember the sacred power held in thread and cloth.The conversation weaves through grief and healing, pandemic-era crafting, reclaiming lost communal arts, ethical making, and how working with fiber can become both spellwork and spiritual refuge. Whether you knit daily or have never picked up a needle, this episode offers a gentle invitation to slow down, listen to your hands, and reconnect with the magic humans have practiced for millennia.The Rebel Mystic Coven is my heart-crafted teaching circle in South-Central Pennsylvania—a sanctuary where curiosity meets mystery and seekers kindle their inner fire. As an Eclectic Coven, we explore a variety of topics and areas of study to help build our awareness, deepen our practices, and develop understanding.  A short, spoken invitation calling women who feel the Dark Goddess stirring to step into embodied power through a nine week initiatory journey with ancient goddesses.

A-Side Breaks Vol. 4 continues the journey — a crate of raw, unfiltered drum science crafted for dancers, DJs, and rhythm junkies who know exactly what that perfect break can do to a room. This volume digs deeper into the DNA of the breakbeat. No nostalgia cosplay, no over-polished gloss — just straight, functional grooves built for cyphers, rehearsals, block parties, and those moments when you need the beat to speak louder than words. Vol. 4 stretches across moods: dusty funk hits, minimalist percussion workouts, tension-builders for battles, and pocket-heavy loops for flow sessions. Each break is produced with intention — to move bodies, spark creativity, and reconnect dancers to the essence of why we listen in the first place. For DJs, these are mix-ready. For B-boys and B-girls, they're footwork fuel. For producers, they're sample-able foundations. It's another chapter in a growing archive of rhythm tools — built from the ground up, no shortcuts, no templates. If you've been rocking with the series, welcome back. If you're discovering it now, tap in — the break is only the beginning.

Episode 2 of our Holiday Interlude dives into the Ring Poem — one of the most spiritually revealing passages in The Lord of the Rings.Using only The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, Doug explores how the poem reveals the spiritual identity of Elves, Dwarves, and Men, and what their Rings of Power actually do in Tolkien's world.Discover how the Rings amplify spiritual nature, why some races resist corruption and others fall into it, and how Tolkien subtly shows the unseen forces at work without ever explaining them directly.This episode is a key step in recovering a supernatural imagination — both for reading Tolkien and for understanding the unseen realm in our own world.In this episode, Doug examines the famous Ring Poem:“Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky…”Far from being just lore, this poem functions as a map of the spiritual order of Middle-earth. By looking closely at each line, Doug highlights the unique spiritual identities of Elves, Dwarves, and Men — and shows how the Rings of Power amplify what is already true within each race.In this episode you'll learn:- Why the Elven Rings preserve, heal, and resist decay- How the Dwarven Rings amplify desire for gold and the ability to create wealth- Why the Rings given to Men lead to domination, and corruption,- How the One Ring embodies the will of the Dark LordDoug also draws on poetry from The Hobbit to show how Tolkien embeds spiritual identity in song and story.By the end of the episode, listeners will recognize the Rings of Power not as magical devices, but as spiritual amplifiers that reveal — and distort — the identity of those who use them.This is a foundational episode for learning to “see” the spiritual forces moving in Tolkien's world, and for recognizing similar patterns in our world and in Scripture.

friske høstluften løftet de knastrende bladene som et teppe rundt føttene til elevene fra Skogskolen.En: The crisp autumn air lifted the crunching leaves like a carpet around the feet of the students from Skogskolen.No: De var på skoletur, med læreren sin, frøken Nygaard, som en streng vokter av gruppens gjenforente linje.En: They were on a school trip, with their teacher, Miss Nygaard, as a

Transcript:Sv: En frisk höstvind blåste genom den svenska skogen, och färgerna på träden sprakade som en målning.En: A fresh autumn wind blew through the @AtLangBrace{sv}{svenska} forest, and the colors of the trees sparkled like a painting.Sv: Linnea gick bredvid sina vänner Erik och Sofia.En: @AtLangBrace{sv}{Linnea} walked beside her friends @AtLangBrace{sv}{Erik} and @AtLangBrace{sv}{Sofia}.Sv: De var ute för att plocka svamp, en årlig tradition de alla älskade.En: They were out to pick mushrooms, an annual tradition they all loved.Sv: Skogen var alltid full av liv, och under hösten var den vackrare än någonsin.En: The forest was always full of life, and in autumn it was more beautiful than ever.Sv: Löven prasslade under deras fötter och små djur kunde höras springa genom buskarna.En: The leaves rustled under their feet, and small animals could be heard running through the bushes.Sv: Men Linnea hade annat i tankarna.En: But @AtLangBrace{sv}{Linnea} had other things on her mind.Sv: Hon hade alltid trivts i skogen, en plats där hon kunde tänka klart och drömma om ett annat liv.En: She had always felt at home in the forest, a place where she could think clearly and dream of another life.Sv: Ett liv som var annorlunda från det förutsägbara hon levde nu.En: A life that was different from the predictable one she lived now.Sv: Det var därför hon letade efter en sällsynt svamp, en symbol för den förändring hon så hett önskade.En: That was why she was searching for a rare mushroom, a symbol of the change she so intensely desired.Sv: "Ser ni någon kantarell där borta?"En: "Do you see any @AtLangBrace{sv}{kantarell} over there?"Sv: frågade Erik och pekade mot en liten kulle.En: asked @AtLangBrace{sv}{Erik}, pointing toward a small hill.Sv: "Nej, bara vanliga svampar," svarade Sofia med ett leende.En: "No, just regular mushrooms," replied @AtLangBrace{sv}{Sofia} with a smile.Sv: Linnea stannade upp, och en känsla av rastlöshet fyllde henne.En: @AtLangBrace{sv}{Linnea} paused, and a feeling of restlessness filled her.Sv: Hon visste att den sällsynta svampen fanns djupare i skogen.En: She knew that the rare mushroom was deeper in the forest.Sv: Men det fanns risker med att gå för långt.En: But there were risks with going too far.Sv: Skogen kunde vara förrädisk och lätt att gå vilse i.En: The forest could be treacherous and easy to get lost in.Sv: "Jag går och tittar lite längre bort," sa Linnea.En: "I'm going to look a little further," said @AtLangBrace{sv}{Linnea}.Sv: Hon försökte låta säker fastän en röst inom henne var tveksam.En: She tried to sound confident even though a voice inside her was doubtful.Sv: "Se till att inte gå för långt, Linnea," varnade Sofia.En: "Make sure not to go too far, @AtLangBrace{sv}{Linnea}," warned @AtLangBrace{sv}{Sofia}.Sv: Med ett djupt andetag vinkade Linnea till sina vänner och började gå djupare in bland träden.En: With a deep breath, @AtLangBrace{sv}{Linnea} waved to her friends and started to walk deeper among the trees.Sv: Skogen blev tätare, och tystnaden omslöt henne.En: The forest became denser, and the silence enveloped her.Sv: Men snart såg hon dem — de sällsynta svamparna med sina gyllene hattar.En: But soon she saw them — the rare mushrooms with their golden caps.Sv: Gömda under ett fikonträd, stod de där som små skatter.En: Hidden under a @AtLangBrace{sv}{fikonträd}, they stood there like little treasures.Sv: Hjärtat slog snabbare av glädje, men en insikt slog henne plötsligt: hon var ensam och hade tappat bort sig.En: Her heart beat faster with joy, but a realization struck her suddenly: she was alone and had lost her way.Sv: Träden såg alla likadana ut, och solen började sätta sig bakom horisonten.En: The trees all looked the same, and the sun began to set behind the horizon.Sv: Men hon visste att hon måste bevara lugnet.En: But she knew she had to keep calm.Sv: Linnea tog några djupa andetag och började analysera omgivningen, fokuserade på att hitta landmärken hon kom ihåg.En: @AtLangBrace{sv}{Linnea} took a few deep breaths and began to analyze the surroundings, focusing on finding landmarks she remembered.Sv: Ett stort stenblock, en ovanligt formad ek.En: A large boulder, an unusually shaped oak.Sv: Bit för bit, hemsökte hon minnet och tog sig tillbaka till säkra marker.En: Bit by bit, she searched her memory and made her way back to safer ground.Sv: När hon kom tillbaka, sprang Erik och Sofia mot henne.En: When she returned, @AtLangBrace{sv}{Erik} and @AtLangBrace{sv}{Sofia} ran toward her.Sv: Linnea bar stolt de sällsynta svamparna i sina händer.En: @AtLangBrace{sv}{Linnea} proudly carried the rare mushrooms in her hands.Sv: Erfarenheten gjorde henne inte bara lyckligare utan gav henne mod.En: The experience made her not only happier but also gave her courage.Sv: Ett nytt beslut växte inom henne att våga förändra sitt liv.En: A new decision grew within her to dare to change her life.Sv: "Jag visste att du skulle hitta något speciellt," sa Erik med en beundrande blick.En: "I knew you would find something special," said @AtLangBrace{sv}{Erik} with an admiring look.Sv: "Det gjorde jag verkligen," svarade Linnea.En: "I really did," replied @AtLangBrace{sv}{Linnea}.Sv: I hjärtat kände hon sig nu lika fri som löven i vinden.En: In her heart, she now felt as free as the leaves in the wind.Sv: Hon var redo att omfamna vilken förändring livet kunde erbjuda.En: She was ready to embrace whatever change life could offer.

Costume designer Mona May explains the immense power of costume design, noting that an actor's clothing instantly conveys their character's "psychology" and socio-economic status. She pulls back the curtain on her process, revealing her large team of artisans—including pattern makers, tailors, and dyers—that allows her to manage large projects like Enchanted and typically stay off-set, contrasting this with the constant presence required for the frequent changes in Clueless. Mona May offers crucial career advice for aspiring designers, emphasizing the need for passion, a love for film, and flexibility to embrace a "gypsy" lifestyle of constant travel. Finally, she discusses her current focus on the Clueless 30th-anniversary book (written with a ghostwriter) and her book tour.Show Clip from The Paris Chong Show with Mona Mayhttps://youtu.be/ggFe8n7f5Eohttps://www.theparischongshow.com

It seems we've always had monsters among us. We've long been enthralled by dragons and and giants, by the likes of Frankenstein and Godzilla and Dracula, by witches and werewolves and countless others. They roam our maps and creation myths; they crop up in our dreams, in our children's books, in our political rhetoric. Where do these beings spring from? What do they do for us? How have they changed over time? And, ultimately, what do our monsters say about their makers? My guests today are Dr. Natalie Lawrence and Dr. Surekha Davies. Both are historians of science and authors of recent books on monsters: Natalie's book is Enchanted creatures: Our monsters and their meanings. Surekha's book is Humans: A monstrous history. Here, Surekha, Natalie, and I talk about monsters as category breakers and boundary walkers—and about how monstrosity is in the eye of the beholder. We walk through a menagerie of monsters—from the apocryphal blemmyes of old travelogues, to a hairy-faced girl in 16th century France, to the figure of Caliban in The Tempest. We discuss the psychological and cultural forces that generate monsters. And we talk about whether anyone would want to live in a world without them. Along the way we touch on, the "monstrification" of social groups; psychoanalysis; our primal fear of snakes; curiosity cabinets; therianthropes and the Cave of the Three Brothers; the relationship between the monstrosity and geography; our long fascination with so-called monstrous births; the Muppet Show; dinosaurs and sea creatures; and the question what monsters might do for children in particular. Alright friends, it's the monstrous season and this is a fun one to help you celebrate. Enjoy!   Notes 3:00 – Grendel's mother has often been a subject of critical discussion and adaptation.
