Colin Stagg, a lonely virgin who dabbled in a bit of Wicca and nude sunbathing, was hunted by the police and the press who both wanted his head as a trophy for the brutal killing of Rachel Nickell. Yet, as they followed the wrong scent, the real killer was free to strike again.

In the second installment of our seven-part series on the Aspects of Deity, the witches turn their attention to the God in his middle face: the Oak King, the Father, the Warrior, and the beating heart of the Sun at its height. This is the God in his full maturity; strong-backed, green-crowned, and alive with the fierce joy of summer.Laylla and Chelle unpack where this Father/Warrior archetype comes from in modern witchcraft, tracing the Oak King's tangled roots through folklore, Wicca, the Horned God mythos, and the ever-evolving Wheel of the Year. From the midsummer battle with the Holly King, to his role as the wild consort of the Goddess, to his deep connection with the turning of the seasons, the witches explore how this bright, solar force shows up in myth and in lived witchcraft today.They also dig into the bigger question: what does sacred masculinity look like for witches who grew up with Christian Father-God baggage or pop culture's devil-horn stereotypes? The Oak King reminds us that strength can be tender, that passion can be holy, and that the body, sweating, laughing, loving, and alive is a temple all its own. He's the god of green forests and hot sun, the Witch-Father who guards the boundaries of the land and teaches us to walk them with courage.Join us for stories, lore, laughter, and a whole lot of leafy green energy as we meet the God in his middle face,; the Oak King in all his vibrant, responsible, moss-scented glory.Got a question?

In this Halloween “snack” episode, Ophira Eisenberg reconnects with horror writer and fellow Brooklyn parent Brooke Mackenzie to dig deeper into her psychic and supernatural experiences. Brooke explains that she once asked “the powers that be” to remove her ability to see ghosts through deep meditation—but kept one lingering gift: premonition dreams that sometimes predict people's deaths, a trait she says runs in her family. She recalls her one-year-old daughter giggling at an empty rocking chair and saying “Papa,” suggesting that the connection might continue in the next generation. The two trade stories about Halloween costumes and stolen stoop decorations before diving into Brooke's past involvement with Wicca, her vast crystal collection (so large her husband gives her a “quota”), and how she uses crystals for rituals—including fertility and protection rituals aided by quartz, selenite, and Herkimer diamonds. Brooke describes working as a tutor, balancing motherhood with writing horror, and how she still fears demons, exorcisms, and her own mortality. She swears she'll never touch a Ouija board again after one terrifying encounter that ended with a shop owner insisting it be stored in a freezer. The conversation wraps on a lighter note about pillowcase trick-or-treating and Brooke's hopes to publish children's books someday—just maybe with a crystal or two close by for good juju.

Wait, what's so gay about witches, you ask?First of all — sit down.When I was a young f/hag in the late '90s, Wicca was having a moment. The Halliwell sisters ruled the WB, Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock were burying men in their back gardens, and I gobbled the GAGathon down with glee.Only later did I realize what made these witchy bitchies so alluring: it wasn't (just) that they were different — it was that they were powerful.Outsiders who could fight back. Like the X-men...or democratic socialists.But were they always outsiders? No! In the ancient world, everyone dabbled in magic. Pagans love a hag with a herb garden.Then Christianity came along and ruined everything. AS ALWAYS.By the 20th century, witchcraft was beginning to mean "freedom" to a lot of repressed Westerners. Which might explain why nearly half of Wiccans today identify as queer.Join us for this Halloween special as we trace The Craft™ from ancient love spells to Victorian occultists, with brilliant guest Professor Marion Gibson.Together we ask:

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay decide to live deliciously while wrapping up Spooky Sleazon with a modern horror classic, 'The Witch.' After tending to his chores, Bombay opens up the episode by telling a story when he received a slew of sultry snaps from a girl who practices Wicca and it somehow ended horribly. Then the boys jump into the movie that went on to define A24 horror — back when that meant something — and discuss the epitome of a slow burn horror done right. There's talk of Robert Eggers' impressive craft and attention to detail that makes him an occult Wes Anderson, for a movie that would seem a slog but breezes by and culminates in a bonkers third act. Of course the fellas have to give some love to Anya Taylor-Joy's breakout performance, and Ralph Ineson's haunting voice. Don't worry, they also spend sufficient time praising the GOAT goat performance from Black Phillip, and bemoan the fact he wasn't given zany 'Leprechaun'-esque zany sequels.

On the podcast, we have covered the Salem Witch Trials and other witch hunts in America and Europe. When we originally produced the Witches in America episode, we touched on a couple of the witch hunts that took place before the Salem outbreak, some Native American witches and then a couple of infamous witches, the River Witch of Marietta and the Bell Witch. We are still going to include some of that here, but the witch hunt material got a more thorough treatment in Episode 307, so we pulled that out. This Redux will explore some other witch narratives from America that we didn't cover before and update the material on the Bell Witch. Most of the people accused of witchcraft in the past, weren't actually witches, but that does not mean that there were not or are not really witches in America. Witchcraft has long been practiced in America and Wicca is an accepted religious practice in our modern era. Join us as we explore witches in America.

Samhain/Halloween when the veil between the worlds is thin and if you are cunning you just may see what lies beyond. In fact, you just may see what lies are keeping you tethered to the construct of "normalcy". This is a warm and hearty chat where we explore the current state of affairs in the craft, paganism, Wicca, and the natural magical pathways therein that are so linked to the idea of the "Witch" in the modern round.

Halloween is upon us! Costumes, trick-or-treating, and plenty of controversy! In today's episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie look at whether or not witches and witchcraft are something Christians should be concerned with. Many costumes involve witches, but is it wrong to dress that way? We dig into the history of witches and witchcraft, dating all the way back to early biblical references. We then look at modern Wicca and even talk through some popular fantasy series that involve witchcraft, like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and The Chronicles of Narnia to talk through how Christians should deal with these forms of entertainment. Take a listen and we hope this is helpful for you in your walk with the Lord this Halloween season!The 17:17 podcast is a ministry of Roseville Baptist Church (MN) that seeks to tackle cultural issues and societal questions from a biblical worldview so that listeners discover what the Bible has to say about the key issues they face on a daily basis.

Phil Svitek and Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) unpack Paulo Coelho's Brida, a spiritual coming-of-age novel that blends witchcraft, love, and the search for destiny. We trace Coelho's remarkable journey—from rebellious lyricist and political prisoner to world-renowned author of The Alchemist—and how his fascination with faith, mysticism, and personal legend shaped Brida's twin paths of the Sun (reason, discipline) and Moon (intuition, ritual). We explore the novel's central relationships—Brida, Magus, Wicca, and Lorens—and what they reveal about soulmates, free will, and spiritual growth. Along the way, we discuss memorable quotes, recurring symbols, and whether Brida's ultimate choice reflects courage or denial.Up next in our Bookmarked series:Exile and the Kingdom – Albert Camus (Nov 2025)Violet Thistlewaite Is Not a Villain Anymore – Emily Krempholtz (Dec 2025)Marisa pick (Jan 2026)Marisa pick (Feb 2026)The Lost Bookshop – Evie Woods (Mar 2026)Marisa pick (Apr 2026)How to Solve Your Own Murder – Kristen Perrin (May 2026)

In this episode, Morgan revisits the distinctions and connections between Wicca, witchcraft, and paganism, addressing common misconceptions and providing a comprehensive overview of each. She emphasizes that paganism is a broad umbrella encompassing various spiritual paths, while witchcraft is a practice of magick that can exist independently of any religion. Wicca, on the other hand, is a recognized religion with specific beliefs and practices. Morgan also shares her personal growth and evolving perspectives on these topics, encouraging listeners to embrace their identities and practices without fear.

In this lost episode of THE CIRCLE IS podCAST, Rachel True and Mat Auryn welcome witchcraft author and third degree high priest Jason Mankey for a conversation that discusses the hidden history of music, where crossroads magick, hoodoo folklore, and esoteric influence shaped the pulse of blues and rock long before anyone spoke of “occult music.” From there the dialogue drifts into the nature of practice itself, touching on everyday sorcery, personal power, and subtle ways of working energy in daily life. They explore the question of initiation and whether formal lineage is required for authentic practice, opening a thoughtful exchange on tradition, self-dedication, and the many ways a witch steps fully onto their path. The episode also brings forward Jason's newest work, a biography of Raymond Buckland that offers a rare look into the life of one of modern witchcraft's most influential figures. The result is a rich exchange on art as spellcraft, magick as a lived reality, and the evolving legacy of the Craft.Jason's Links:Raise the Horns blog: https://www.patheos.com/blogs/panmankey/author/jmankey/Jason's Books: https://www.llewellyn.com/author.php?author_id=4751Jason's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/panmankey/?hl=enJason's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063557306920Our Links:Gathering of The Witches Online Event: https://insighteventsusa.com/gathering-of-the-witches-2025/ref/82/Rachel True Website: https://truehearttarot.comMat Auryn Website: https://auryn.netModern Witch Podcast Network: https://modernwitch.comMat's Omega Retreats: https://www.auryn.net/omegaTrue Heart Intuitive Tarot, Guidebook And Deck: https://a.co/d/9ZNyRu1The Psychic Art of Tarot: Opening Your Inner Eye for More Insightful Readings: https://a.co/d/dUBT1bZPsychic Witch: A Metaphysical Guide to Meditation, Magick & Manifestation: https://a.co/d/bHelDwUMastering Magick: A Course in Spellcasting for the Psychic Witch: https://amzn.to/3VesGalPisces Witch: Unlock the Magic of Your Sun Sign: https://a.co/d/cGqcG61

Show Notes Episode 511: Something Wiccan This Way Comes Part 3 of Spooktacular 2025 This week Host Dave Bledsoe was arrested at the Lizard Lounge in Bohemia for getting hammered, stripping off all his clothes and proclaiming he was performing Witchy Woman by the Eagles “skyclad”. (Again) On the show this week we look at the state of modern witchcraft when we talk about the Wiccans. Along the way we learn that Dave DID try not be a godless heathen. (Just not very hard.) Then we dive right into that time the Romans did some Roman shit to people in what would become Wales. (Somehow, this IS relevant) before coming back to talk about an English Post Clerk who decided that pretending to believe in witchcraft might get him laid. (Unfair and untrue, Gerald was probably ACE) Then we follow the rise of Wicca as a religion as it spread around the world in the 70s until it exploded in the late 90s. (Alyson Hannigan was just so damn cute!) We explain how Wicca got popular then Hollywood made it suck and how Wicca is today.  Finally, Dave explains why he isn't a Wiccan. (They kicked him out of the coven for being too eager to get Skyclad.) Our Sponsor this week is Coven FInder,because a coven of one isn't a coven at all! We open with Nat Geo explaining Wicca and close with Liam St John is risking himself with the Three Fold Law.

In this special Business of Woo-themed episode of The Skeptical Shaman podcast, host Rachel White (of TOTEM Readings) chats with friend of the show Britt Sundkulla-Sinclair of Golden Thread Alchemy all about her transition from part-time working witch, astrologer and death doula to a full-time Woo-based business owner!And, not only does Britt describe what this transition has been like-- and what it demands in terms of working hours, promotional/ unpaid efforts, and very early mornings-- but she also explores the strange devolution in human interaction (and mutual respect) that has been accelerating since the Covid-19 pandemic. Clients and customers of the Woo just aren't behaving the same anymore, requiring Woo-based business owners to make some necessary but unpleasant changes like: charging for previously free events, making rules at group workshops re: topics to not discuss, and requiring deposits or up-front payment for one-on-one sessions.But it's not all Debbie Downer sh*t! Within all of this minutea and restructuring are tremendous silver linings, perhaps the most important of which is that this cycle is separating the tourists and casuals from the serious, life-long, real deal experts. If you're a Woo-based business owner navigating these trying times, just remember: every day that you don't give up, you're passively taking market share from those that do!And that means that you'll get to continue to be of service, fulfill your life's purpose, and continue to "touch the Woo" every damn day!LINKS:Rachel's Website: https://www.totemreadings.comTOTEM Readings Substack: https://totemrach.substack.comRachel's Other Links: https://linktr.ee/totemrachPlease support the Sponsors of The Skeptical Shaman Podcast:The TOTEM Flower Essence Deck: https://a.co/d/gw16LsGThe TOTEM Tarot Deck: https://totemreadingsatx.etsy.com/listing/1492934343The TOTEM Flower Essences: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TotemReadingsATXTOTEM Spiritual Transformation Coaching: https://www.totemreadings.com/coachingTOTEM Business of Woo Mentoring: https://www.totemreadings.com/business-of-wooBritt's LINKS:Website: https://www.goldenthreadalchemy.comSubstack: https://goldenthreadalchemy.substack.com/Please note: The views and opinions expressed on The Skeptical Shaman do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

In this special Business of Woo-themed episode of The Skeptical Shaman podcast, host Rachel White (of TOTEM Readings) chats with Cardsy B (of the Hex and the City podcast) all about what life is really like as a full-time working witch in residence at one of Manhattan's premier boutique hotels.And, while there's some literal magic in Cardsy's workdays, there is also the reality of the Business of Woo: the increasing exertion required to maintain healthy client boundaries, navigate parasocial dynamics, and process untethered-- and often nasty-- criticism that cuts to the core of your character.The bottom line? You can't make everybody happy all of the time, so Woo-based business owners and full-time psychic practitioners need to establish codified "shop policies" that enable them to stay consistent while conserving their precious energy while working with the general public. In this episode, Rachel and Cardsy chat about what a psychic session is supposed to deliver. Spoiler alert: getting a tarot reading or psychic sessions isn't actually a good way to manage anxiety, nor can a reading or session actually shift the material reality of your life. It's just a diagnostic, and one that the client should come away from feeling empowered and ready to tackle the world of free will-- just with better data;)LINKS:Rachel's Website: https://www.totemreadings.comTOTEM Readings Substack: https://totemrach.substack.comRachel's Other Links: https://linktr.ee/totemrachPlease support the Sponsors of The Skeptical Shaman Podcast:The TOTEM Flower Essence Deck: https://a.co/d/gw16LsGThe TOTEM Tarot Deck:https://totemreadingsatx.etsy.com/listing/1492934343The TOTEM Flower Essences: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TotemReadingsATXCardsy B's LINKS:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cardsyb/Linktree: https://bio.cardsyb.com/Please note: The views and opinions expressed on The Skeptical Shaman do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

Wicca's getting dragged on WitchTok again this time for being racist, appropriated, or just plain outdated. But is it really that simple? In this episode, we take a hard look at Gerald Gardner's colonial baggage, the real roots of Wicca, and where cultural appropriation actually shows up in modern witchcraft. We'll cut through the noise, define appropriation clearly, and talk about how Wiccans today can practice in ways that are ethical, respectful, and real.This isn't about canceling Wicca it's about unlearning the blind spots and reclaiming the parts of the tradition worth keeping.

In this episode of Cultish, we sit continue our conversation with Jeremy Jenkins—Pastor from North Carolina and founder of All Things All People—to dive deep into the world of Wicca and Neo-Paganism. What draws people to these modern spiritual movements? How do they connect with ancient practices and beliefs about the unseen realm? And most importantly, how should Christians understand, engage, and respond to those exploring these paths? Join us as Jeremy shares his insights, pastoral experience, and apologetic perspective on the growing influence of Wicca and Neo-Paganism in today's culture. Partner With Us & Be Part of the Mission to Change Lives: HERESHOP OUR MERCH: HEREAll Things All People: HEREPurchase Jeremy's Book: HERE

1ER PODCAST DEL MISTERIO EN HABLA HISPANA DESDE 1993 TEMPORADA 32 DE LA LUZ DEL MISTERIO Vive el Misterio... Pasa, ponte cómodo y disfruta... FROM LONDON: Comenzamos la tercera experiencia de la temporada 32 de La nueva Luz del Misterio. Una experiencia única de comunicación de La Luz del Misterio esta semana a las impactantes imágenes muestran el impacto directo de un misil sobre un OVNI en China Una impactante explosión se registró después de que un misil aparentemente destruyera un objeto volador no identificado, lo que desató numerosas teorías sobre el verdadero impacto. Residentes de la provincia china de Shandong grabaron un objeto brillante y lento volando cerca del suelo momentos antes de que pareciera desintegrarse en un destello brillante y caer a la Tierra. Luego haremos un homenaje a la figura de Bram Stoker y sus escarceo con el mundo del misterio. Bram Stoker se asoció profundamente con el misterio y el terror, principalmente a través de su icónica novela Drácula, que estableció el arquetipo del vampiro moderno y fusionó mitos y realidad para crear una historia gótica. Su propia vida también estuvo marcada por el misterio, ya que de niño enfermizo se recuperó milagrosamente y, tras su muerte en 1912, su figura quedó eclipsada, pero su obra fue y sigue siendo fundamental en el género. Su madre le contaba historias de terror y misterio durante su infancia, una experiencia que influyó profundamente en su obra posterior. Cerraremos La Luz del Misterio de esta semana con un reportaje conociedo la Golden Dawn. La Orden Hermética de la Aurora Dorada (en latín: Ordo Hermeticus Aurorae Aureae, en inglés: Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn) fue una sociedad secreta dedicada al estudio y la práctica del ocultismo, el hermetismo y la metafísica entre finales del siglo XIX y comienzos del siglo XX. Es conocida como una orden mágica. Estuvo activa en Gran Bretaña y centró sus prácticas en la teúrgia y el desarrollo espiritual. Muchos de los conceptos actuales de rituales y de magia, como la Wicca y el Thelema, fueron inspirados por la Aurora Dorada, que se convirtió en una de las organizaciones más influyentes del ocultismo occidental del siglo XX. Un viaje apasionante hacia la historia de ser humano que puedes conocer a través de La Luz del Misterio en London Radio World y sus plataformas. ——————————————————— Síguenos a través de: edenex.es ZTR Radio.online London Radio World En Ivoox Itunes Spotify Amazon YouTube Si deseas apoyarnos: https://www.ivoox.com/ajx-apoyar_i1_support_29070_1.html Más información: laluzdelmisterioradio.blogspot.com laluzdelmisterio@gmail.com

What happens when Italian folk traditions cross the Atlantic? This video explores how Italian witchcraft, especially the healing practice of Segnature, has been reimagined, reinvented, and often misrepresented in the United States. From Leland's Aradia to Wicca-inspired “Stregheria,” we'll look at how Italian-American communities blended folklore, Catholic devotion, and Pagan spirituality to create new forms of practice. But are these the same as the vernacular traditions in Italy, or something entirely different?This video is a recording of the paper I presented at the World Congress of the International Association for the History of Religions, held at Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland.Join me as we unpack the myths, the reinventions, and the cultural translations behind Italian witchcraft in America.CONNECT & SUPPORT

Everyone wants to be a witch these days. But what about the ones who kept the craft alive in secret, in shadow, and under fire? In this episode, I am pulling back the glittery veil of WitchTok and “starter kits” to talk about the real history of witchcraft's survival.From the repeal of the Witchcraft Act in 1951 and the rise of Wicca in the 1960s, to the Satanic Panic of the 80s, and the trend-driven witch surge of today, we'll trace how witchcraft keeps cycling through pop culture. We'll also examine what gets lost in the noise. This is a call to respect: for the witches who risked their freedom, for the elders who kept the flame lit when it was not safe, and for the unnamed folk witches who healed, protected, and endured.If you have ever wondered what it really means to claim the word “witch,” this episode will challenge you to go deeper than hashtags and crystal bundles.
