What does it mean to practise Wicca as an initiatory tradition today, and how does the legacy of figures such as Doreen Valiente continue to shape modern Witchcraft?In this livestream, I will be joined by Rufus Harrington, a Wiccan priest and long-standing initiate of the Craft, trustee of the Doreen Valiente Foundation, psychotherapist, and teacher of magical practice. Together, we will explore the history, practice, and inner logic of Wicca beyond the stereotypes: initiation, ritual, secrecy, the Horned God, the role of the priesthood, and the relationship between magic, psychology, and transformation.Rufus brings a rare combination of lived initiatory experience, historical connection to key figures in modern Witchcraft, and professional expertise in psychotherapy. This conversation will be especially valuable for anyone interested in British Traditional Wicca, Alexandrian and Gardnerian lineages, Doreen Valiente, Enochian magic, Pagan priesthood, and the deeper question of how magical traditions survive, adapt, and remain meaningful in the present.CONTACT DETAILS: cbtclinics@btopenworld.comCONNECT & SUPPORT

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Magick Kitchen Podcast, Leandra Witchwood and Elyse Welles explore the patriarchal wounding of the divine feminine and what it actually means to reclaim feminine power in a world built on imbalance. This conversation goes far beyond gender binaries and into the spiritual, emotional, and cultural conditioning that teaches people to stay small, abandon themselves, and seek external approval.Together, they unpack the difference between the divine feminine and toxic femininity, the misuse of sacred union in witchcraft history, the wounds created by patriarchy, and the ways those wounds show up in everyday life through self-abandonment, purity culture, people-pleasing, competition, and fear of being seen. They also speak about feminine archetypes, healing, sisterhood, boundaries, and how to return to a more cyclical, embodied, life-giving path.If you are working to heal the feminine wound, reconnect with your intuition, and reclaim your wholeness, this episode is a powerful place to begin. Explore Elyse's Divine Feminine Masterclass here: Seekers of the Sacred Wild  Take Leandra's quiz here: Which Divine Feminine Archetype Calls to You?Join monthly coven classes and experiences.  A Five-Day Audio Program to Clear the Noise and Transform Your Practice.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Magick Kitchen Podcast, Leandra Witchwood and Elyse Welles dive deeper into protection magic and the ethical nuance of baneful magick. This is not a fear-driven conversation about cursing for revenge. It is a grounded discussion about boundaries, spiritual self-protection, and what it means to keep yourself safe in difficult times.Together, they explore why protection magic is really a form of boundary-setting, why boundaries can feel painful even when they are necessary, and how mirror spells, bindings, cord cutting, and energetic cleansing can be used without creating harmful ties. They also unpack the difference between banishing and cursing, why intention matters, and how to think about protection in relationships, creative work, and everyday life.If you have ever wondered when stronger magical boundaries are appropriate, how to protect your energy without losing your integrity, or how to cut cords while still holding love, this episode offers a thoughtful, practical place to begin.Join monthly coven classes and experiences.  LeandraWitchwood.com The Healing Our Feminine Wounding Immersive is a sacred retreat devoted to untangling inherited shame, silence, and survival patterns carried in the feminine body.

Let's Chat!!Boo, bitches! This week on episode 211 of C3: Crystals, Cauldrons, & Cocktails, we're diving deep into protection magick — and not the dramatic “everything is cursed” kind. We're talking REAL protection for real witches living real lives. Energy shielding, home wards, wearable protection, return-to-sender work, situational protection, and how to stop leaking your energy into every chaotic situation that wanders into your orbit. Grab your bells, your boundaries, and your emotional support water bottle… (or cocktail of choice, of course!) because this episode is just funny, practical, and witchy enough to make your front door nervous. 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

Y'all made this happen...Ignore us conflating secular and non-secular! We're talking about religion in witchcraftWhat started as a running joke about toenails unfortunately, hid a horrifying truth: Nail clippings, and other“taglocks,” actually do have a long history in witchcraft. So .... we had to talk about it... Thanks...Then we have a surprisingly thoughtful conversation about secular vs religious witchcraft, egregores, animism, gods, skepticism, ritual, and whether belief itself can create meaning, power, or even divinity.Irish Pagan School, Lora O'Brienloraobrien.ieGet Yer Anahata's Ticketsanahataspurpose.comDelegating upwardwitchhut.questTrailer for Blood in the Snow by TheKetchupPantherhttps://youtu.be/KiqRltWhoXs?si=dOJ0xh4NFFbQlfiowitchbitchamateurhour.comPlay Skyrim With Charlyetwitch.tv/charlye_withawhyWant to help support the Podcast?

Together, they explore why tarot does not have to be intimidating, how the Minor Arcana can become more accessible, and why rigid meanings often get in the way of real spiritual insight.They also dive into Laura's work on the Witches' Ally Oracle, the relationship between art and divination, and the importance of building connection with the decks and tools you actually use.

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

Let's Chat!!Welcome back to this mini episode of Cauldrons of Chaos—where the spells are strong, the vibes are aligned, and no one remembers where they put the athame.In this mini episode, we're talking about witchcraft fitness—the very real, very sweaty workout you didn't sign up for but somehow completed anyway.From barefoot sprints across the house mid-ritual, to arm day via stubborn lighters, to core engagement while stirring intentions (and maybe a cocktail), this is the kind of movement no gym app tracks—but your body absolutely does.We're breaking down how spells double as cardio, why sweeping “with intention” is still exercise, and how your familiar is secretly the final boss of functional fitness.No matching leggings required. No aesthetic altar needed. Just candles, chaos, and calves that noticed.Because if you're sweating… the spell is working.Boo-bitches. Stay hydrated.

What does it really mean to call yourself a witch in 2025?In this deeply honest and expansive conversation, I'm joined by Maritza Schafer, founder of Bruja School and teacher of the Liberation Magic Method. Together, we explore reclaiming spiritual power, healing the witch wound, dismantling spiritual individualism, and why embodied, community-rooted witchcraft matters now more than ever.We talk about ancestral wisdom, spiritual connection beyond religion, manifesting in a broken system, and the courage it takes to say, “Yes, I'm a witch.”Maritza Schäfer is the founder of Bruja School, where she teaches the Liberation Magic Method. Her teachings center around a simple premise: the secret to life (and everything you truly want) is spiritual connection, free from religious trauma and new age b.s. Grounded in her Indigenous Chilean and Mediterranean lineage, Maritza blends ancestral wisdom with practical coaching. She equips people with powerful spiritual tools and real magic to create meaningful lives and bring transformation to their communities.If you've ever felt the tension between mysticism and practicality… between capitalism and community… between hiding and fully owning your magic… this episode is for you.✨ In this episode we explore:-What it truly means to be a witch today-The difference between spirituality and religion-Liberation Magic and embodied power-Manifestation without spiritual bypassing-Why community is essential for healing-Reclaiming ancestral wisdom-Navigating visibility and the “broom closet”-The collapse of old systems and spiritual leadershipWork with MaritzaConnect with Maritza on InstagramFollow Maritza on FacebookSign up for the Witch Wound Masterclass: What It Is & How to Heal It, with Eileen on Feb 18th Take the Which Witch Are You QuizOrder Awaken to the Magic Within Connect with Eileen on Instagram Follow Eileen on Insight Timer Send Eileen an email If this episode stirred something in you, please:Like

Let's Chat!!Boo Bitches!Not all witches work in covens. Some of us thrive in quiet rooms, late-night rituals, and energy that doesn't require a group chat.In this episode of C3: Crystals, Cauldrons & Cocktails, we're diving into the power of solitary witchery—its history, its misconceptions, its shadow sides, and why practicing alone can be one of the most powerful choices you make.Solitary doesn't mean isolated. It means intentional.Grab a cocktail and let's talk independence, autonomy, and magic without witnesses.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

Send us a textThis time in the Magick Kitchen Podcast, Leandra Witchwood and Elyse Welles are joined by bestselling author and beloved witchcraft teacher Deborah Blake for a grounded, practical conversation on respectful, responsible deity work for witches and pagans.Together, they explore what changes when deity isn't “a box you visit,” but part of everyday life, and why cultural context matters when working with ancient pantheons in the modern world. Deborah shares how her upcoming book, Everyday Witch's Book of Deities (out in April and currently available for preorder), approaches deity work with both historical background and real-world practice. You'll also hear thoughtful discussion on syncretism (when gods and goddesses overlap across cultures), what “perfect love and perfect trust” can mean in lived experience, and how to start small if you think a deity may be reaching out, including the physical signs both hosts and Deborah notice in their own work.Find Deborah at deborahblakeauthor.comLoose-leaf Tea and Sacred Apothecary The Healing Our Feminine Wounding Immersive is a sacred retreat devoted to untangling inherited shame, silence, and survival patterns carried in the feminine body.

What does modern witchcraft actually look like when you move past aesthetics, trends, and internet rules? In this episode, we sit down with Lorraine Monteagut, PhD, queer Latin witch, astrologer, and author of Modern Witchcraft for Dummies and Brujas: The Magic and Power of Witches of Color. We talk about finding your own entry point into magic with curiosity, context, and care. We explore beginner overwhelm, ethical practice, cultural roots, syncretism, and why learning the history behind modern magical practices matters more than “doing it right.”The conversation also moves into the real-life side of magic, from burnout, major transitions, and rebuilding community, to reconnecting with spiritual practice during seasons of change. If you've ever felt unsure where to start, worried about appropriation, or disconnected from your practice during a life shift, this episode offers grounding perspective and permission to meet yourself exactly where you are.Find out more about Lorraine over on:InstagramWebsite And Lorraine's books below:Brujas: The Magic and Power of Witches of Color Modern Witchcraft for DummiesJoin our Patreon for bonus episodes, magical downloads, and unhinged side quests: https://www.patreon.com/demystifymagicPre-order Molly's book Mundane Magic A Lazy Witch's Guide to Hacking Your Brain, Building a Daily Practice, and Getting Stuff DonePreorder Mundane Magic & Join the Virtual Book Tour⁠: Celebrate the release of Molly's new book with an exclusive online event on Feb 21, 12 PM EST.

* This is an audio-only version of my interview with Rufus Harrington, trustee of The Doreen Valiente Foundation. I am so excited to share this special conversation with Rufus Harrington about the legendary Doreen Valiente!As a thank you for your incredible support, this interview is being released as a free bonus episode for both my dedicated Patreon members as well as my YouTube community. Happy Yule!In this insightful conversation, I sat down with Rufus Harrington, a psychologist and long-standing practitioner of the craft, who currently serves as a trustee for the Doreen Valiente Foundation.This interview traces the life and spiritual impact of the woman widely known as the "Mother of Modern Witchcraft." We begin by exploring Rufus's own journey into Wicca and how his professional background in psychology provides a unique lens through which he views the evolution of the pagan community.The Heart of the Conversation: Who was Doreen Valiente? We dive into a biography of this pivotal figure, moving beyond her titles to understand her as a poet, a researcher, and a spiritual revolutionary.The Gardnerian Connection: Rufus distinguishes Valiente's contributions from those of her contemporary, Gerald Gardner, highlighting how her poetic voice and ethical framework shaped the Craft as we know it today.The Foundation's Mission: Rufus discusses the vital work of preserving sacred artifacts, rare writings, and the personal legacy of a woman who sought to bring the magic of the old world into the modern era.Spirituality in Practice: From the "Charge of the Goddess" to her scholarly research, we discuss the enduring resonance of Valiente's work and why it remains "alive" for practitioners in the 21st century.Whether you are a long-time practitioner or simply curious about the history of modern spirituality, this interview offers a deep dive into the stewardship of a legacy. Rufus shares personal reflections on his role as a trustee and offers guidance on where seekers can find authentic resources to further their own studies.PROGRAM NOTESHome | Doreen ValienteBooks by Doreen Valiente (Author of Natural Magic)Natural Magic: Valiente, Doreen: 8601404398032: Amazon.com: BooksTHE ATLANTIS BOOKSHOP | The living history of magicHome - Museum of Witchcraft and MagicLifting the Veil: A Witches' Guide to Trance-Prophesy, Drawing Down the Moon and Ecstatic Ritual: Farrar, Janet, Bone, Gavin: 9780719831621: Amazon.com: BooksWhat Witches Do: A Modern Coven Revealed: Farrar, Stewart: 9780719831539: Amazon.com: BooksAradia or the Gospel of the Witches: The Founding Book of Modern Witchcraft, Containing History, Traditions, Dianic Goddesses and Folklore of Wicca: Leland, Charles Godfrey: 9781985818026: Amazon.com: BooksHigh Magic's Aid - Kindle edition by Gardner, Gerald .

Send us a textIn this thought-provoking episode of the Magick Kitchen Podcast, Leandra Witchwood and Elyse Welles dive deep into one of the most urgent topics in modern spirituality — the rise of AI in witchcraft. From spellwriting and herbalism to tarot and dream interpretation, witches everywhere are turning to AI for answers — but at what cost?Leandra and Elyse unpack the hidden dangers of using artificial intelligence for magical work, including misinformation, environmental damage, and the loss of personal intuition.

In February 1933, while the world was entering the age of radio and automobiles, individuals from the town of Soalhaes, Portugal burned a woman accused of witchcraft. The victim was Arminda de Jesus, a 32-year-old mother of two children, known locally for her kindness and for helping her troubled neighbor. That same neighbor would accuse her of witchcraft, leading to an exorcism ritual that spiraled tragically out of control and ended in Arminda's death. Through meticulous research in Portuguese archives, Dr. Inês Tadeu from the University of Madeira has reconstructed this forgotten case using trial records and newspaper accounts. She joins us to discuss how witchcraft beliefs persisted into the twentieth century, and why some communities still struggle to confront these dark aspects of our humanity. Together, we explore how a simple accusation of witchcraft could end in murder in 1930s Europe, and why Arminda's story remained buried for so long.

Hail Hekate Triformis, The Triple Goddess. The Unifying The Three Selves Meditation is a foundational practice for connecting with Hekate while aligning our personal energy field consisting of The Three Selves. These three selves represent the lower self (root), the middle self (heart), and the higher self (crown). The meditation process involves connecting with one's breath, relaxing the body, and focusing on the root, heart, and crown selves. By contemplating Hekate Triformis, we perceive our own tri-fold nature mirrored in her three forms. The Unifying The Three Selves Meditation can be found in Keeping Her Keys: An Introduction to Hekate's Modern Witchcraft, Entering Hekate's Garden: The Magick, Medicine and Mystery of Plant Spirit Witchcraft, and Entering Hekate's Cave: The Journey Through Darkness To Wholeness. Join Covina for a supportive coven community, dedicated to Hekate, where we explore this meditation as part of our daily sacred practice, known as Quotidia.
