Episode: 2834 Wombs and Witchcraft: Edward Jorden's Suffocation of the Mother (1603).  Today, wombs and witchcraft.

On this episode, Scarlet and Blackbird feel like it's been awhile since you've been given a good series from them, so hey, they are DOING IT!  Scarlet's fever brain has come up with a glorious concoction of "what ifs" this week, and just in time for the holiday food coma you will be enjoying.  The witches discuss what a card would look like in between these two major arcana characters...a little bit of mystery, a little bit of abundance, but the possibilities are really fun to consider.  So please, wear all your new clothes so the Icelandic Christmas Monster Cat does not eat you, but also, pull up next to the fire and listen!  Hope the new year finds us all well and safe.  

Witchcraft and witches throughout history have long captured the imagination, yet hidden away in archives are records of long forgotten cases. Many of these are tragic, some are unusual – perhaps even inexplicable – but all are fascinating in their own right. Devon's Forgotten Witches 1860–1910 (The History Press, 2025) by Mark Norman and Tracey Norman takes a deep dive through these records, bringing to the surface accusations of witchcraft in the county that have languished, unacknowledged, in the British Newspaper Archive for decades. These are the stories of ordinary people whose lives were touched in some way by witchcraft. Tracey Norman and Mark Norman examine these cases within their historical context, pulling together details from various news reports to explore what might really have happened. This work provides an intriguing snapshot of press coverage in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, showing how the public were urged to view those who still put their faith in ‘incredible superstition'. Most importantly, the retelling of these stories gives a new voice to those whom the historical record has silenced. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

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 .

Turning Point USA is arguably the most-powerful vote-getting operation in America, having played an instrumental role in the reelection of Donald Trump. This year for AmFest 2025, they drew tens of thousands of ‘true believers' in the church of Charlie Kirk, and what did they see when they got there? They had a front row seat to a legitimate end times circus, including a replica of the tent where Charlie Kirk was assassinated that also functioned as a selfie station for his most ardent disciples.“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.” 2 Timothy 3:1 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, whatever Turning Point USA was under the leadership of Charlie Kirk it's not anymore, as literally everyone is scrambling for control, money, power and their slice of the hundred million dollar+ empire that is TPUSA. The “grieving widow” looks like she is having the time of her life dressed all in gold and taking the stage in what looks like an MTV music video (if you're old enough to remember what that is). In fact, she's already working to select the next president, and her choice appears to be her very close friend, JD Vance. But all those things are mere child's play compared to the witchcraft and demonism we found while observing the festivities in an event trumpeting the “Christian foundation” of America. Not all is as it seems, and on this episode, you'll be shocked at everything taking place inside the House of Kirk.

Today I'm joined by Catherine for a chat about rediscovering magick, trusting intuition, and allowing creativity to unfold without pressure. I hope you enjoy it!In this episode we explore:1. Reclaiming magick later in lifeCatherine shares her experience of returning to magick after years away. Once deeply connected as a child, she describes how religion and relationships pulled her off that path, and how she now feels a clear calling to reclaim her inherent magick. Not as something new, but as something remembered.2. “Everybody is inherently magickal”Rebecca reframes the idea of being a “newbie witch,” emphasising that magick is not earned or bestowed but reclaimed. This conversation gently dismantles the idea that witchcraft requires lineage, expertise, or perfection, and instead centres embodiment, relationship, and presence.3. Divination as humanity's oldest language of meaningTogether they trace divination far beyond tarot and oracle cards, exploring how humans have always sought meaning. From birds, bones, smoke, stars, and entrails, to modern medicine and prediction-based science, divination is revealed as our instinctive way of making sense of uncertainty.4. Trusting the body after a lifetime of being taught not toThe conversation turns to how many of us were taught, as children, to override hunger, tiredness, discomfort, and intuition. Divination and ritual become ways of gently relearning self-trust and restoring a relationship with the body's wisdom.5. Ritual and relationship From cleansing cards to asking permission before taking a deer bone, Catherine and Rebecca speak about reverence rather than rules. Cards, crystals, bones, and objects are framed not as tools to control outcomes, but as allies we build relationships with over time.6. Slowness as a magickal actCatherine reflects on learning to go slowly in this phase of her life. Gathering objects, thrifting intuitively, nesting into her practice, and allowing curiosity to lead rather than goals. Rebecca affirms that magick has no end point, no checklist, and no finish line.7. Art as spellwork and becomingArt emerges as a central theme. Catherine shares how returning to painting after decades away has become part of her magickal rediscovery. Painting over old work, starting again, and allowing the process to lead mirrors her wider journey of becoming. Rebecca reflects on art as knowledge created through making, not output.8. Noticing as everyday magickFrom winter roses and unexpected tomatoes in December, to robins, daffodils, chalk pits, ancient skull sites, and dandelions breaking through concrete, this episode celebrates noticing as one of the most powerful magickal practices we have.9. Kindness, boundaries, and transmuting angerThe conversation closes with reflections on love, justice, protest magick, and discernment. Witchcraft is named as a path that does not deny anger or grief, but gives us ways to transmute them into action, boundaries, care, and change.This episode is for you if you:feel called back to magick after time awayare learning to trust themselves againfeel overwhelmed by noise, content, and certainty cultureare rediscovering creativity again in your lifewant magick without pressure, hierarchy, or performancebelieve slowness, noticing, and kindness are radical actsJoin us for a conversation that invites you to exhale, to soften, and to remember that you do not need to know where you're going to walk a magickal path.-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --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 textA smile you can't trust. A request for a simple bowl of water. And a town that looks away as windows go dark. We dig into Weapons with clear eyes and sharp questions, unpacking why a strong performance and clever structure still falter when the villain steps into the light too soon. Our take is candid and unflinching: suspense thrives on restraint, and this story shows how timing can elevate dread or deflate it.We break down the film's chaptered perspectives and how they enrich the mystery, then debate a provocative reading: the “aunt” as a parasitic presence hiding in plain sight. From classroom lessons on parasites to eerily convenient backstory gaps, the clues are there if you're watching closely. We also push into the film's moral core—addiction, consent, and control. The teacher's messy coping, Alex's forced caretaking, and that horrifying dinner scene mirror the dynamics of households where power and dependency twist love into obedience. Consent as a rule of possession echoes folklore and modern horror alike, adding a chilling layer of logic to the supernatural.We don't just critique; we imagine how the film could soar. Picture a found-footage approach: Ring cams stitching the midnight exodus, bodycams capturing what human eyes deny, a scavenger's lens catching the rituals no one should see. That format would match the “true story” feel and heighten realism without losing heart. And then there's recovery: after control breaks, the kids and parents don't bounce back—they rebuild, like waking from a coma. It's a rare choice that respects trauma and keeps the fear alive once the credits roll.Expect smart takes, specific scenes, production trivia, and a grounded final verdict: a solid eight with room to haunt even deeper. If you care about how horror works—pacing, point of view, and the ethics of fear—you'll feel right at home here. Listen, subscribe, and tell us where you stand on the reveal: did it undercut the scare, or did it sharpen the stakes? Your turn.

Welcome, my dark souls! In this haunting chapter of Unholy December, we uncover the chilling possession outbreaks that swept through convents in France, Spain, and Italy during the 17th century. From violent public exorcisms to quiet nocturnal terrors, these cases reveal how fear, faith, and control shaped the lives of cloistered women across Europe. Drawing from diaries, trial records, and centuries of historical analysis, this episode exposes the obscure boundary between mysticism, trauma, and the supernatural. A deep, unsettling journey into the archives where some of history's darkest whispers have been waiting. *Listener Discretion is Advised*****************Sources & References:Aldous Huxley, The Devils of Loudun (1952).Michel de Certeau, The Possession at Loudun (1970).Nancy Caciola, Discerning Spirits: Divine and Demonic Possession in the Middle Ages (2003).Edward Peters, The Magician, the Witch, and the Law (1978).John D.

These are not aesthetic tips or spell recipes; they are foundational truths about energy, identity, rest, manifestation, and what it actually means to live as a witch. If you're new to witchcraft, feeling burned out, questioning your practice, or evolving beyond an old spiritual identity, this episode will meet you exactly where you are. In this episode, Morgan covers: Why spells and rituals don't need to be elaborate to be effective How intention and declaration are the true sources of magick Why you're allowed to outgrow old witchcraft identities without guilt The importance of revisiting magickal concepts you once rejected Why rest is sacred and burnout blocks magick How spell results often manifest sideways, not the way you expect Why nurturing your spiritual side is non-negotiable once you're awakened Morgan also shares personal stories from her own practice, including manifestations that took years to unfold, spells that "blew up" before working, and what happens when you try to silence your inner witch. ✨ Bonus Patreon content: Two additional "honorable mention" lessons Morgan learned over 25 years of witchcraft are available exclusively on Patreon.

Alan Stoker is a world-renowned boat racer and the builder of Stoker Boats. An innovator whose career spans the formative decades of Mod VP outboard racing and tunnel-hull development, Stoker was raised in Southern California. This episode was recorded shortly after his third straight victory at the 2024 Parker Enduro. Stoker grew up immersed in boating through his father, John Stoker, owner of John's Custom Marine, where he began working weekends at just 11 years old. He started racing when his dad purchased a kneel-down racer from Ron Hill and spent time in the pits while his father crewed on the world speed record-holding Hustler jet engine boat. John Stoker also competed in the Parker Enduro with a Chrysler-powered Patterson, further cementing racing as a family pursuit. In 1976, when the first Evinrude V-6s were introduced, the Stokers bought a wood-plug Kona bottom, built a wood deck, and raced the Parker Enduro. A step up to a Witchcraft the following year, driving with Earl McKinney, saw the team win 12 out of 13 races. As competition in the V-bottom outboard ranks intensified, a partnership with Ron Baker of Baker Boats provided the Stokers with increasingly faster equipment. With the advent of modified V-bottoms, which eventually evolved into full-blown tunnel boats in the hugely popular Mod VP class, the Stokers were led to design what would become one of the most successful hulls of the era, the Stoker Sport Tunnel (SST) Mod VP. These boats are still being produced today by Eliminator Boats. For its 45 years in operation, John's Custom Marine remained a loyal Outboard Marine Corporation (OMC) dealer. During much of that time, Stoker was often the lone competitor powered by an OMC Evinrude. His many successes behind the wheel in Mod VP competition were rivaled only by his reputation as a highly skilled and innovative engine builder. Stoker later climbed back into the driver's seat alongside his old friend and longtime competitor, the late Greg Foster, to win the Parker Enduro in 2012 and again in 2017. The appeal of running a new V-8 Mercury on one of his 22-foot SST hulls led him to team up with boat owner John Roth, a partnership that dominated the event from 2022 through 2024. An attempt to tie old friend Todd Bowden's record of four consecutive Parker Enduro victories was ultimately thwarted in 2025, when Stoker was forced to withdraw at the last minute due to back issues. If history is any indication, Alan Stoker's story at the Parker Enduro is far from finished.

We're back recording for the first time since Chicago, and we're easing ourselves in with a cozy, slightly chaotic Q&A.We dig into some of the most common questions we receive about deity work, crystals, and the practical side of witchcraft. We explore what it really means to begin a relationship with a deity, why research is always the first step, and how reading mythology and history can help you understand the deeper context behind any spiritual connection. We talk about taking deity work off the pedestal, avoiding ego traps, and building practices that feel grounded instead of performative.We also get into modern approaches to offerings, from translating ancient traditions into everyday acts of care to understanding why correspondences like cinnamon and apples show up so often in spellwork. A listener question about moving countries turns into a surprisingly rich conversation about downsizing crystal collections, choosing the stones that matter most, and thinking about your tools in a more intentional way. And yes, somewhere in the mix, we settle the very serious question of which pasta shape we'd ride into battle.Join 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.

Have you ever lit a candle, whispered an incantation, and watched something uncannily fitting happen days later? Was it magic, or just a well-timed coincidence? In the world of esoteric practice, we are trained to notice patterns, to read signs, to find meaning where others see randomness. But what if some of those connections aren't what they seem? What if we're mistaking correlation for causation, and calling it magic?In this video, we're diving into the most seductive illusion in both magic and conspiracy thinking: the leap from “this happened” to “I caused it.” Drawing on philosophy, psychology, and the history of occult thought, we'll explore why our brains are wired to see patterns, how magical fallacies take root, and how to practise with both conviction and discernment. If you want to refine your craft, sharpen your thinking, and avoid the traps that turn meaningful magic into wishful thinking, stay with me. This might just be the most important spell you ever learn.CONNECT & SUPPORT

A young couple in Denver thought they were simply buying their first home — a modest 1950s ranch with a big yard, a friendly layout, and a long history belonging to only one elderly family. But the moment they began remodeling the basement, the house revealed what the previous owners had quietly left behind. Buried deep in the foundation, they found a polished wooden stick wrapped in green and yellow tassels — an Irish chalet hidden exactly where no one should have ever reached it. And once it was disturbed, nothing in the house felt normal again. Her husband became fixated on the basement, refusing to come upstairs. His personality shifted. His dreams turned violent. And when they uncovered old glass jars sealed into the ceiling — jars filled with nails, hair, and strange liquids — the pieces began forming a shape she didn't want to recognize. Was this Irish folklore? Witchcraft? A curse? Or something darker using the objects these strangers left behind? #realghoststories #hauntedhouse #witchjars #paranormalactivity #irishfolklore #demonicattachment #hauntedbasement #trueghoststory #creepyhome #darkpresence #unexplained #supernaturalstory #witchcrafthistory #ghostpodcast #realhauntings Love real ghost stories?

Hello Witches In today's episode we journey through December folklore, peeling back the Christian veils to reveal the older stranger magic beneath. This episode begins with with St Lucy's Day. Beneath the saint lies lore entwined with Lilith, Lucifer, witches, trolls and wandering spirits — revealing how this 'festival of light' once belonged to the darkest nights of the year. From there, we descend into the symbolism of the sickle — a tool of harvest, severing and fate. We explore its mythic lineage through Morana, Mokosh, Cronus, Saturn, the Grim Reaper and the Druidic priesthood. You will hear about the magical uses of sickles across Europe, their protective and banishing powers and how you might weave this ancient blade into your own witchcraft practice today. We close with a look at Mothers' Night (Modranicht) — the Anglo-Saxon celebration honouring ancestral mothers, protective spirits and the deep feminine that presides over midwinter. Also includes some simple, meaningful ways to honour this sacred night in your personal craft.

“EXORCISM” by Ray Bradbury | When her mailman husband delivered a package of forbidden books to the woman up the street, Elmira Brown finally had proof of what she'd suspected all along — and she wasn't about to let a witch win another election.IN THIS EPISODE: The name Ray Bradbury immediately brings to mind such fictional tales – classics, many of them… some of which I've narrated here in the podcast such as “The Jar”, “Skeleton”, and “The Small Assassin.” But as good as Bradbury was at writing about the paranormal, he could also write comedy – and in tonight's story he combines the two. “Exorcism” is a fun short tale about a nosy housewife who suspects an older woman in town is studying to become a witch… and decides to confront the old lady to voice her disapproval. SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Exorcism” by Ray Bradbury, from the book “The Stories of Ray Bradbury” from Rosetta Books:https://amzn.to/49nrJTGWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
