Podcasts about magickal

Friends, I've been doing this podcast for over eight years and one thing I've noticed since the beginning: guests always want to talk about spirituality. I know, I know, it's self-selecting. I'M the one who wants to talk about it. Sure, that's true. But also, everyone is EXCITED to discuss it when I bring it up. It's like it's on the tip of everyone's tongues and has been for a decade. Now, it's starting to be fully pronounced, like a spell shouted into the air. I'm sure you've seen it too: whether it's the convergence of witchcraft and feminism, the popularization of political wellness which has ritual components, the appearance of crystals in the Los Angeles mayoral race, the conspiratorial intimations about black magick during lockdowns... People have been trying to interpret the world through a spiritual lens that religion doesn't seem up to - but the political realm has so overwhelmed people's perceptions that instead of being TRANSFORMED by spiritual encounter, they're merely grafting it onto already-established, politicized worldviews.This includes political pundits and secularized media ridiculing spiritual perspectives as a distraction from their failure to scrutinize 60 hour work weeks, economic bamboozling, or outdated attitudes about gender.I've done my best to mediate this, because I could see it all coming (not bragging, promise, you can hear me discuss it on early episodes!). I've tried to occupy a sort of cultural position that was largely held in the past by de-witchers, fairy doctors, alchemical scientists and more, people who separated what's true and false when it came to spiritual paths, critiques, and pursuits. They constituted a whole classes of laborers people largely disappeared by the materialist, academic, and professional world.But we can't wait any longer, we need experts in this field. An expert I trust and appreciate so deeply on these matters is Thomas Waters, lecturer in history at Imperial College London (and AEWCH 98 guest) So we talk together about magick's role today, and the new magickal realm we find ourselves in.I'm so excited to share this episode with you. support the show: patreon.com/connerhabibbuy Magick: Decoding the Visual Culture of Spells, Illusions and Psychic Powers by Thomas Waters from an indie bookshop buy Cursed BritainA History of Witchcraft and Black Magic in Modern Times by Thomas Waters from an indie bookshop

Pull up a chair in the Solarium, pour something warm, and prepare for a very bookish, very witchy catch-up with Laylla and Chelle.This time around, the witches are flipping pages, checking the stars, and knocking a few titles off of their ever-growing magical to-read pile. They explore the music, folklore, and enchantment woven through Irish tradition in Draíocht Ceoil: The Sound of Magic in Irish Traditions by Geraldine Moorkens Byrne, then wander into the shadowy halls of the psyche with Aliza Einhorn's Tarot of the Unconscious, a fascinating look at the connections between tarot, psychoanalysis, symbolism, and everything lurking just beneath the surface.They also crack open Patricia Telesco's Your Book of Shadows and talk about what it offers witches looking to create a magical record that actually feels personal rather than like something copied out of someone else's grimoire. Then it is time to consult the heavens with Wyatt's Astrological Year Calendar 2026 from AstrologicalYear.com and Theresa Reed's The Book of Astrological Returns, exploring how astrology can become something you work with throughout the year instead of something you only remember when Mercury starts acting suspicious.And because no proper Solarium gathering is complete without a little tea, Laylla and Chelle catch up on what has been happening in the wider Pagan community, including Beck Ravenswood's ongoing fight against Pennsylvania's old divination law and the larger questions it raises about religious freedom, fortune telling, and why laws written for another century are still haunting modern witches.There is also plenty of Pagan Pride Day talk, upcoming events, community happenings, books worth adding to your shelf, and the usual wandering conversations that happen when two witches are left alone with caffeine, new magical supplies, and opinions.Come hang out in the Solarium. The books are open, the tea is hot, and apparently Pennsylvania law still needs an exorcism.Got a question? Send the witches a message here!Support the showWant to send us a letter?

Last time we admitted defeat in our attempts try to summarise a fifty-plus album discography. This time our play P6 turns up with an actual diagram (which you can see right here) and we spend an hour and a half trying to work out whether that's a genuinely useful map or just a very elegant way of saying "it's complicated."We get into what actually meant when they called one period of their music “solar music” and the other “moon music”, both to themselves and to people writing about them afterwards. We begin with Scatology and then go into a long stretch on Coil as a queer band specifically: not queer-adjacent, not later reclaimed as queer, but a band who were writing directly out of the AIDS crisis while the gay mainstream press was too frightened to touch them. We talk about the rejected Hellraiser score, Clive Barker's actual bowels, and how a soundtrack too creepy for a horror franchise ended up as one of the most bootlegged, most fought-over corners of their catalogue.We get into Trent Reznor giving them free run of a New Orleans studio for their aborted album Backwards, the slow drift into drone and ritual with Time Machines, and the posthumous artefact economy that's grown up around the band.There's a lot of Coil in this episode that isn't really music in any conventional sense; arguably a lot of it is more like documentation. Documentation of a relationship, of a pandemic that was devastating their community, and of two people slowly working out what they were for. Whether that makes the later, harder-to-love records worth the effort is something we argue about without really resolving. We'd say give it a go anyway – you might find something you love.Chapters 00:00 – Welcome back, and the state of the venues in Glasgow00:04 – Phil's solar/moon diagram, and the pivot point of Horse Rotorvator00:07 – Scatology as manifesto: no personality cult, just "this is us"00:12 – Defining solar vs moon in Coil's own terms00:16 – "Kill a queer for Christ": the hostility Coil were writing against00:20 – Coil as a queer band, not a queer-adjacent one00:24 – The AIDS pandemic as the actual subject of the solar period00:27 – Why Coil succeeded where Frankie Goes to Hollywood and the "gay icons" of the 80s didn't00:31 – The Spanner case, outlaw community, and the limits of gay respectability00:35 – The artefact economy begins: box sets, reissues, and "picking at the corpse of Coil"00:36 – The rejected Hellraiser score and Clive Barker's bowels00:44 – Love's Secret Domain, clubbing, and ecstasy as a response to the fear of touch00:48 – Derek Jarman, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, and Phil's own ordination00:55 – Into moon music: The Angelic Conversation and the shift toward mysticism00:57 – Trent Reznor, free studio time, and Nine Inch Nails' debt to Horse Rotorvator01:02 – Membership shifts: Danny Hyde, Drew McDowell, and Thighpaulsandra01:04 – Black Light District and the "dank, downbeat" transitional period01:14 – Moving toward live performance and the birth of Coil's occult stage identity01:19 – Balance's addiction, Funeral Music for Lady Diana, and the Foxtrot testimony01:26 – Post-9/11 visuals, prisoners, and a return to transgression on stage01:27 – Closing thought: boredom, labour, and what it cost to make this music

Coil have a reputation for being genuinely difficult: ritualistic, transgressive, the kind of band you approach the way you'd approach a locked door marked "occult correspondence, keep out." So it's a bit disarming that this episode opens with hand-written Christmas cards from Jhonn Balance and Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson, sent to a teenage psychiatric nursing student in Paisley who wrote to them out of genuine fandom. Coil, it turns out, wrote back.The student in question is Phil Eaglesham, or P6 as he is perhaps better known, formerly of Desalvo, Stretchheads and currently of OMO and Security. He's returning after breaking our brains once already with Cabaret Volatire, and this time he's turned up armed with decades of correspondence, first-hand context, and a refusal to let Coil calcify into myth. We trace the band from Jhonn Balance's teenage letters to Throbbing Gristle, through Psychic TV and the deliberately porous, ceremony-blurred confrontation of early industrial music, into the Temple of Psychic Youth and its uncomfortably close relationship to actual cult structure. We get into the brass dildos sent to record labels as a two-fingered thank-you-for-nothing. We get into AIDS-era queer culture, MDMA, and the particular kind of self-medicating grief that eventually caught up with Balance. And we get into why a band this steeped in the esoteric and apocalyptic was, underneath it, trying to build something more human and more DIY than the mysticism suggests.Jhon Balance himself suggested that Coil would forgotten within ten years after their end. They weren't. Whether that's a triumph of the work outlasting the intent, or proof that even planned obsolescence can't out-manoeuvre a good back catalogue, is something you can decide for yourselves. And we'll give you a bit of time to do that, because there's a whole second episode of this still to come next week.Highlights00:00 – Welcome back, Phil Eaglesham00:04 – Setting the scene: resources, Tony Dickey, and the Coil album map00:06 – The letters: correspondence with a psychiatric hospital00:10 – Reading list: England's Hidden Reverse and Everything Keeps Dissolving00:14 – A quick word from our sponsors (that's you)00:16 – Origins: Jhonn Balance, Throbbing Gristle, and teenage letter-writing00:20 – Psychic TV forms, Warner Brothers money, and the 23 brass dildos00:23 – Temple of Psychic Youth and its uncomfortable proximity to cult logic00:27 – Coil as an alternative: queerness, esotericism, without the cult of personality00:29 – Ecstasy, connection, and the AIDS-era comedown that became alcoholism00:32 – "In ten years, nobody will remember" — legacy, reissues, and Mute Records00:34 – Sleazy in Bangkok, and his death in 201000:39 – Peter Christopherson's design career: Hipgnosis, Pink Floyd, Sex Pistols00:42 – The boy shop window, the leg, and the police raid00:44 – Industrial music's roots in performance art and danger music

Let's Chat!!Boo, bitches — we're fact-checking the cauldron.In this episode of C3: Crystals, Cauldrons, & Cocktails, we take a calm, clear look at some of the loudest myths floating around witchy spaces:• “You didn't cleanse enough.” • “You'll accidentally summon a demon.” • “Doubt cancels your spell.” • “You're not activated.”Spoiler: magic is not WiFi, demons are not hiding behind your tealight candle, and being human does not disqualify you from practicing.This is not a call-out. It's a call-in — toward discernment, history, and a steadier kind of power.Sip the cocktail of the week and let's bring clarity back to the craft.Support the showUntil then, Stay Witchy!!River's Etsy Store: www.batsandbaublesinc.etsy.comWebsite: www.c3witchypodcast.comMerch: www.c3witchypodcastmerch.comOur wonderful logo is done by: www.nellamarinadraws.etsy.comIntro and Outro Audio:podcast intro & outro music:Góða Nótt by Alexander NakaradaLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/4754-g-a-n-ttLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-liceSound from Zapsplat.com – Witches Cauldrons bubbling

We spend a lot of time noticing the world. Cataloguing what's there, what's beautiful, what's in our way. But how often do we turn that around and ask: what if the world is doing something back?In this episode, we explore reciprocal attention, a practice in walking through a place as if attention moves in both directions. Not looking for signs, not interpreting, just asking one question for five minutes: what here notices me?This is how people connected with the land for most of human history, not as a passive backdrop but as a responsive presence. The practice sounds subtle, but it changes something fundamental about how present you are in your own body.Perfect for: anyone who walks on autopilot while their mind is three conversations away, or who wants to feel more genuinely connected to the physical world rather than just passing through it.-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --All of the Magick:The A Pinch of Magick App:iPhone - download on the App StoreAndroid - download pn the Google PlayOur (free) Magickal Communities: Join UsMagickal JournalFive Minutes of Magick Amazon UKFive Minutes of Magick Amazon USWebsitewww.MagickalHabits.comInstagramFor Magick: Click hereFor a Sacred Pause in Nature: Click hereFor CharmCasting: Click here

In today's episode, I'm, joined by Maisie as we talk about labels, lineage, witchcraft, druidry, play, grief, learning, motherhood, ageing, and the quiet rebellion of choosing joy and wonder in a world that often tells us to grow up, get sensible, and stop believing in magick.In this episode we explore:Do I call myself a witch? And what does that even mean?Maisie asks about labels. About the word witch. About hesitation, responsibility, history, and whether claiming a title feels empowering or heavy.I share my own relationship with the word, including its modern reclamation, its painful history as an accusation rather than an identity, and why I still choose to stand in it openly. Not because everyone should, but because visibility creates permission.We also talk about why some people feel more at home with words like druid, eclectic, or hedge, and why none of these need to be fixed forever.Structure, rhythm, and why we crave them after religionMaisie reflects on how A Pinch of Magick and the app provide structure without dogma, especially for those who've stepped away from organised religion.We talk about why humans need rhythm. Why cycles like the moon, seasons, and daily practices anchor us. And how magick can offer routine without control, and reverence without fear.The witch wound and the weight of historyWe speak candidly about the witch wound. About fear, grief, and the reality that witchcraft accusations were rarely about power or wisdom, and far more often about vulnerability, misogyny, poverty, and control.I share reflections from historical research on cunning folk, muttering women, court records, and why the word witch still carries such emotional charge today.Divination as humanity's oldest instinctFrom marbles in a childhood box to red skies and shepherds' warnings, we explore divination not as fortune-telling, but as humanity's oldest way of making meaning.We talk about tarot, oracles, entrails, medicine, economics, and how prediction, pattern-reading, and intuition have always been part of everyday life.Root Essence and living by an inner compassMaisie shares her experience of the Root Essence course (available in the app) and discovering her guiding phrase: magickal play.We talk about how knowing your root essence becomes a decision-making compass, especially when you're prone to overthinking, self-judgement, or taking life too seriously.Ageing, cronehood, and second adolescencesOur conversation turns to age, menopause, crone energy, and the relief of no longer needing permission.We talk about midlife as a second adolescence. A time of rebellion, wisdom, sovereignty, and deep discernment. A moment where life doesn't narrow, but clarifies..Everyday magick and reclaiming the mundaneFrom birthday candles and tooth fairies to hoovering with intention, we talk about how magick was never separate from daily life until it was made so.We explore how ordinary moments become sacred when approached symbolically. Cleaning. Cooking. Writing. Walking. Lighting a candle. Releasing energy.Whimsy as survivalMaisie shares how embracing play, fandom, costuming, travel, and creative joy has become a form of resilience in a heavy world.We talk about holding rage in one hand and whimsy in the other. About joy as nourishment and bout choosing wonder as an act of quiet rebellion.Today's episode reminds you that if you've ever made a wish, noticed a sign, played pretend, or felt awe at the world around you, you were already participating in magick.-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --All of the Magick:The A Pinch of Magick App:IPhone - download on the App StoreAndroid - download pn the Google PlayOur (free) magickal Community: Facebook GroupMagickal JournalsExplore on Amazon Rebecca's Author PageWebsiteRebeccaAnuwen.comMagickalHabits.comInstagramFor Magick: Click hereFor a Sacred Pause in Nature: Click hereFor CharmCasting: Click hereFor Merlin, my Dog: Click here

Send us a textJoin hosts Leandra Witchwood and Elyse Welles in this special “Kitchen Witch's Hearth” episode, where they take listeners straight into the heart of their craft — the kitchen. This cozy cooking session celebrates the magic of everyday ingredients. As they prepare a simple apple crisp with plums and oats, the witches discuss why using up seasonal produce is an act of gratitude to the land. They reveal the pentagram hidden inside a cross-cut apple and explain how this five-pointed star connects to the five elements. Each spice carries meaning: cinnamon brings action, healing and prosperity; nutmeg is associated with luck, money and fidelity; and cloves offer protection and purification. The hosts also talk about the prosperity and grounding energy of oats, and share knife-skills tips, kitchen rituals and personal stories.Listeners who enjoy fall recipes, kitchen witchcraft, magickal herbalism or hearth-witch traditions will find inspiration and practical wisdom in this episode. The video version is not yet released, but will be shared soon.

This week on Magnolia Street, we turn the page, literally and metaphorically, to explore magickal inks! From the smoke-darkened chambers of ancient scribes to the secret pages of modern grimoires, these enchanted inks have inscribed spells, drawn talismans, and summoned unseen forces. In today's episode, we dive into the hidden history and esoteric significance of magical inks. We'll uncover ancient recipes with strange yet powerful ingredients, from oak gall to dragon's blood resin, and even blood… yes, real blood. We'll also explore the folklore of invisible inks that reveal themselves through fire or time. Whether used to protect, conceal, summon, or transform, magical inks remind us that words are more than marks on a page; they are living spells etched in liquid intention. Join us as we trace these extraordinary elixirs across cultures and centuries, from the laboratories of ancient alchemists to the desks of modern poets, and of course through the pages of the Owens family grimoire in Alice Hoffman's enchanting Practical Magic series! SOCIALS:⁠Link Tree⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERO SOURCES DISCLAIMER:The Magnolia Street Podcast intends to discuss the movie, “Practical Magic” in its entirety.

My relationship with herbs goes back even further than when I started practicing intentional witchcraft. Long before I started learning about their metaphysical properties or their medicinal qualities, I was playing around with their flavors in cooking and teas. It was my budding magickal practice that formally introduced me to their energetics, a door-opener I think many, many witches are presented with.And so today's episode of That Witch Podcast is to formally introduce you to the magick of herbalism and what role this can play in your own lifestyle. We'll discuss what defines an ‘herb,' what is ‘herbalism,' and most importantly, what are the different ways you can partner with these botanical heroes as a modern with and energy practitioner.In this episode I mention:Anima Mundi Herbals Mountain Rose Herbs A Box of Magick by Jamie Della The many works by Rosemary Gladstar Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magickal Herbs by Scott Cunningham Llewellyn's Book of Correspondences by Sandra Kynes ★|| T H E  N E I G H B O R H O O D ||YouTube: That Witch Next DoorEmail Newsletter: thatwitchnextdoor.comInstagram: @thatwitch.nextdoorTikTok: @thatwitch.nextdoorPinterest: @thatwitchdaniContact: thatwitchnextdoor.com/conjurethatwitch
