Podcasts about Witchcraft

Albertus Magnus, the thirteenth-century polymath known as the Universal Doctor, had a problem. To some, he was the greatest natural philosopher of his age. To others, he was a dangerous sorcerer who built talking automatons, disguised himself as a midwife to learn forbidden secrets, and wrote books on summoning demons. Was Albertus Magnus a saint, or was he a sorcerer? The answer to this question would help define the very boundary between science and magic. In this episode, I bring you the story of Albertus Magnus and the Mirror of Astronomy.Researched, written, and produced by Corinne Wieben with original music by Purple Planet.Episode sourcesSupport the showEnchantedPodcast.netBluesky/enchantedpodcast.net

What happens when a generation openly pursues the supernatural while turning away from God, searching for meaning and identity in everything but Him? Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar dive into the rising tide of paganism, astrology, witchcraft, and spiritual experimentation among Gen Z, exploring why young people are so drawn to these practices and what this reveals about both the culture and the church. The guys emphasize that this hunger points to a deeper spiritual void that only Christ can fill, and that understanding it is crucial for anyone seeking to disciple this generation.The guys examine whether Hollywood, social media, and platforms like TikTok are driving this movement or merely amplifying what has been quietly growing for years. They describe a rudderless generation marked by shallow conversions, suppressed truth, and a tendency to credit themselves rather than God for meaning. When sin is never crucified with Christ, the Spirit is quenched, and practices like tarot, astrology, or alternative spirituality rush in to fill the vacuum. Some of the guys share personal experiences from before their salvation, recalling encounters with the spiritual realm that they once dismissed but now recognize as very real.Rather than responding with fear, the conversation moves to hope and practical discernment. Oscar notes that a pagan is often closer to conversion than a hardened materialist, because the longing for transcendence reveals a God-given hunger. As secularism flattens culture into monotony, people seek healing and purpose wherever they can find it. Paganism may offer a sense of community, empowerment, or entertainment, but only Christ provides true identity, restoration, and lasting transformation. Healing is never about managing energies or seeking control—it is found solely in the Savior who gave Himself fully for humanity.The episode concludes with a sober call to vigilance and faithfulness. Witchcraft and paganism promise freedom without moral restraint, yet scripture clearly warns that they defile and deceive, and these influences now touch the church as much as the world. The guys caution that counterfeit spirituality and emotionalism often center on man rather than God, making discernment essential. Studying scripture is the key to recognizing false teachings, because counterfeits constantly evolve. Jesus is not one spiritual option among many; He is the singular way, truth, and life, and genuine repentance requires turning away from every other doorway and following Him completely, embracing the hope and transformation only He can offer.Send us a textThanks for listening!

This is a short but necessary episode. Recorded in the middle of the Tucson Gem Show chaos, Morgan shows up anyway to speak to the heaviness so many witches are feeling right now. With everything happening in the world, especially in the United States, this episode isn't polished or planned. It's honest. It's grounded. And it's coming straight from the heart. Morgan talks about why staying silent doesn't feel neutral anymore, especially for witches who have historically stood with the silenced, the oppressed, and the erased. She shares why she's been focusing on grounding, creating safety at home, and tending to her own energy while still refusing to look away from the loss of human life and the gaslighting happening in real time. This episode is a reminder that self-care and speaking up are not opposites. That protecting your nervous system matters. And that even quiet acts, like grounding, donating, spellwork, or sharing resources, still ripple out into the collective. Topics covered include: Why "silence is compliance" hit hard and changed her perspective The overlap between politics and human lives, and why that line matters Grounding practices for witches during overwhelming times Protecting your energy without disconnecting from your values Magick as support, not bypassing Why it's okay to rest, step back, or turn off the noise when needed This episode isn't here to tell you what to do. It's here to remind you that however you're processing right now, you're not wrong, and you're not alone.

Gen Z is increasingly exploring paganism, astrology, and spiritual experimentation as they search for meaning, identity, and purpose. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar discuss how these practices reflect a God-given hunger for transcendence, but only Christ offers lasting transformation, true healing, and real community. The guys emphasize that the church must respond with discernment, grounded in Scripture, and faithful discipleship to guide young people away from counterfeits and toward the hope, truth, and life found solely in Jesus. They warn that secular influences, social media, and popular culture often amplify curiosity in the supernatural while promoting shallow or false conversions, leaving many spiritually rudderless. The guys highlight the danger of allowing counterfeit spirituality and emotionalism to define worship, noting that practices centered on self rather than God can mislead believers. Ultimately, they remind listeners that Jesus is not one of many spiritual options but the singular way to life, and that true repentance and transformation come only from turning fully to Him.Send us a textThanks for listening!

Aquarius Season is here, and Morgan is done shrinking herself. In this raw, funny, and deeply personal episode, Morgan unpacks what Aquarius Season is really about: rebellion, authenticity, individuality, and finally letting yourself be too much without apology. From growing up in a small town where standing out meant getting bullied, to learning how deeply those wounds shaped her voice, confidence, and self-expression, Morgan shares how Dark Divine Feminine work helped her reclaim the parts of herself she was taught to hide. This episode weaves astrology, personal history, shadow work, and social conditioning into one powerful message: being too much was never the problem. You'll hear: What Aquarius Season energy really activates (even if you're not an Aquarius) Why "too much" became a wound for so many of us How astrology can help you understand your nature instead of fighting it The connection between rebellion, authenticity, and healing Why curating your social media feed can be a form of self-reprogramming How Morgan is reclaiming her voice, style, and power unapologetically This episode is an invitation to stop dimming, stop blending in, and start honoring who you were born to be. ✨ Patreon Bonus Content: Morgan shares a personal, real-time story that fully embodies this Aquarius Season energy shift.

Before her execution, Governor John Winthrop Jr. treated Mary Barnes as a patient. He recorded her symptoms, prescribed medicines, and tracked the costs in his medical notebook. In 1663, she was executed for witchcraft in Hartford, Connecticut.This episode isn't about the execution. It's about fractured communities, failed institutions, and real people with lives that existed long before the gallows. It's about what happens when a doctor's patient becomes a community's scapegoat, when churches wage war with themselves, and when the one leader who had stopped witch executions leaves town at the worst possible moment.Between 1647 and 1663, Connecticut hanged more people for witchcraft than any other New England colony. Then it became the first to implement legal protections that saved lives, twenty-nine years before Salem would erupt. Understanding that transformation requires understanding Hartford's breaking point.Understanding how communities fracture, how institutions fail their people, and how fear finds convenient targets in those who don't fit strict norms teaches us to recognize these patterns, whether in 1663 Hartford or anywhere scapegoating takes root.This is the story of what happened when a doctor's patient became a witch. When religious anchors became battlegrounds. When neighbors turned on neighbors. And eventually, when a community chose differently.In May 2023, Connecticut officially absolved all 34 witch trial victims.The Thing About Witch Hunts examines historical witch trials and contemporary persecution patterns worldwide. Hosts Josh Hutchinson and Sarah Jack explore the context that makes scapegoating possible and how communities can choose differently.*End Witch Hunts is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizationLinksConnecticutwitchtrials.orgListen to more CT Witch Trials Podcast EpisodesBuy the Book: Before Salem: Witch Hunting in the Connecticut River Valley 1647-1663 What books should I read about the Connecticut Witch Trials?

Today we are traveling to Iceland at the height of the witch craze, where sorcery was written in runes, spells were carved into wood, and magic was considered a very real, and very dangerous, force. Joined by Anna, manager of the Museum of Sorcery and Witchcraft in Iceland, we explore the magical practices that shaped everyday life and the brutal persecutions that followed during the Icelandic witch trials.From galdrastafir and spellbooks to the uniquely male dominated executions that set Iceland apart from the rest of Europe, this episode unravels how magic became a crime, and how echoes of these trials still linger in Icelandic folklore today. A chilling, fascinating journey into a lesser-known chapter of witch history, where the line between magic and survival was razor thin.

Surviving the Darkness: Elzanne's Journey Through Ritual Abuse and HealingIn this episode of Discovering Truth with Dan Duval, Dan sits down with guest Elzanne, who courageously shares her testimony as a survivor of satanic ritual abuse and the Hitler Project.  Elzanne recounts deeply traumatic experiences, including severe abuse, mind-control programming, and being forced into witchcraft at a young age. She also opens up about the struggle to process these memories, her journey toward forgiveness, and the profound healing she experienced through the power of Jesus Christ. Her story is a powerful testimony of resilience, faith, and spiritual warfare against the kingdom of darkness.We ENCOURAGE you to do 4 QUICK THINGS!!Sign up to be a podcast memberwww.danduval.comBe sure to check out and like our new Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/DiscoveringTruthNetworkSubscribe to the new podcast YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5nxloF2rt7-dXkjppGHdFAAND Subscribe to our Rumble Channel, where we will post all of our interviews that are TOO HOT for YouTube!DiscoveringTruthNetwork (rumble.com)

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!Long before the Salem Witch Trials, fear of witchcraft was already deeply ingrained in European society—and it crossed the ocean with the first settlers. In this episode of The Grave Talks, we explore how that fear took root in the New World and shaped centuries of paranoia, accusation, and tragedy.We're joined by supernatural historian and author Troy Taylor, whose book One Night in Salem: The Hidden History of the American Witch examines how witchcraft hysteria followed settlers to America and erupted violently in Salem Village. What began as religious fear escalated into mass hysteria—fueled by distrust, fanaticism, and the belief that evil had taken hold—ultimately costing innocent people their lives.But Salem was not the end of America's obsession with witchcraft. In this conversation, Troy traces the hidden history of the American witch beyond 1692, exploring how fear evolved, resurfaced, and continues to influence beliefs today.Find more information about Troy, his books, ghost tours, hunts, and more at his website americanhauntingsink.com#TheGraveTalks #AmericanWitchcraft #SalemWitchTrials #HiddenHistory #TroyTaylor #ParanormalPodcast #HauntedHistory #WitchHysteria #SupernaturalHistory Love real ghost stories?

A young Puritan husband ventures into the forest outside Salem on a secret errand he refuses to name — and the people he encounters on that dark path are not strangers.IN THIS EPISODE: “Young Goodman Brown” — a classic from Nathaniel Hawthorne, modernized specifically for Weird Darkness — follows a young Puritan husband who kisses his wife goodbye at sunset and walks alone into the forest outside Salem village. He won't tell her where he's going or why. He promises to be back by sunrise. But the woods are darker than he expected, and the faces he sees on that shadowy path are ones he recognizes from church, from the village, from his own family. By morning, nothing will look the same to him again.SOURCES and RESOURCES:“Young Goodman Brown” – original story as written by Nathaniel Hawthorne: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/512/512-h/512-h.htm#chap04=====(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

January has never felt like a true reset for Morgan, and in this episode, she explains why. Rather than following the traditional New Year's resolution cycle, Morgan shares how Imbolc has functioned as her real energetic New Year for over 20 years. Drawing from her long-standing relationship with the goddess Brigid, Morgan explores how Imbolc operates as a slow awakening rather than a forced restart. This episode isn't about Sabbat correspondences or ritual instructions. Instead, it focuses on what Imbolc does: how it lights the inner flame of inspiration, clarity, and motivation before action is ever required. For listeners who struggle with New Year's resolutions or feel disconnected from January goal-setting, this episode offers a validating reframe: they may not be behind, they may simply be aligned differently. In this episode, Morgan discusses: Why January 1st often feels energetically disconnected How Imbolc serves as a natural reset point instead of a forced one The difference between inspiration and immediate action How Brigid's energy has shaped Morgan's yearly rhythm Why honoring personal energetic patterns matters more than following the calendar How slow emergence creates sustainable momentum This episode is for witches who value intuition over performance, seasonal flow over hustle, and magick that integrates into real life.

Alison Rowlands, professor of Early Modern European History at the University of Essex, joins Jana Byars to talk about her classic book, Witchcraft Narratives in Germany, Rothenberg, 1561- 1652, out Manchester UP 2003. This conversation took place on the occasion of a new edition, this time a paperback release, in January 2026 Witchcraft Narratives in Germany: Rothenburg, 1561-1652 (Manchester UP, 2026). This meticulously-researched book relies on copious, detailed archival documents concerning people accused of witchcraft in  the German city of Rothenburg ob der Tauber between 1561 and 1652. This city experienced a very restrained pattern of witch-trials and just one execution for witchcraft during that time, unlike some other places in German lands and Europe more broadly. This book explores the social and psychological conflicts that lay behind the making of accusations and confessions of witchcraft and offers insights into other areas of early modern life, such as experiences of and beliefs about communal conflict, magic, motherhood, childhood and illness.

Jim sits down with Steven Intermill, the manager of the Buckland Museum of Witchcraft in Cleveland, Ohio. Steven shares the unlikely path that led him from museum work of a very different kind to becoming the public steward of one of the most important collections of modern witchcraft artifacts in the United States. Along the way, we explore the legacy of Raymond Buckland, often called the father of American witchcraft, and how Buckland's personal collection evolved into a living museum that attracts visitors from around the world. The conversation moves from history to the deeply human side of belief, touching on ritual objects, folklore, and the stories people bring with them when they walk through the museum doors. Steven reflects on misconceptions surrounding witchcraft, the museum's role as a place of education and welcome, and why certain artifacts carry such emotional weight. There are also lighter, surprising moments involving Ouija boards, haunted objects, and why curiosity, not fear, is often the real gateway into the unknown. This is a thoughtful, behind-the-scenes look at a museum that preserves more than objects. It preserves stories, experiences, and a living spiritual tradition.

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.

In this episode of Directed Life, Kap Chatfield, joined by Pastor Jordan Wells, exposes how witchcraft operates through influence, deception, and misplaced authority—especially in politics and culture. The conversation unpacks the spiritual principalities behind influencer culture, the rise of antisemitism, and historical warnings from Nazi Germany to modern-day Israel. This episode calls for discernment, confronts counterfeit power, and closes with prayer against the spirit of Jezebel shaping today's narratives.

Have you ever felt anxiety hit the moment a new opportunity opens up? That tightness in your chest. The nervous system freak-out. The urge to stay small, safe, and familiar. In this episode, Morgan dives deeper into embodiment and explores what actually happens after you decide to step into a new identity. When your old self resurfaces. When fear masquerades as intuition. When your nervous system tries to drag you back to what's comfortable instead of what's aligned. You'll learn how to tell the difference between anxiety and intuitive knowing, why your old identity shows up right before expansion, and the four-step process Morgan personally uses to move through fear, embodiment, and big decisions without self-betrayal. In this episode, we cover: Why anxiety is not intuition (and never has been) How your nervous system reacts when you're about to expand What it really means when your old identity "tests" you The difference between fear, protection, and true intuitive knowing A four-step process to move through big decisions with embodiment Why staying can be a conscious choice, not a failure How to support your decisions with aligned action Links & Resources: Feral Witch Energy Embodiment Activation (Class): https://www.inkedgoddesscreations.com/products/feral-witch-energy-embodiment-activation Join Morgan on her Patreon for exclusive bonus content.

The witches are so excited and are on a roll (is two a roll?) with this new series!  On this episode, Scarlet and Blackbird ponder the shared aspects of two more major arcana cards - The Hanged Man and Death.  Could these shared qualities lead to the meaning of the between card, or will it be more of a vibe, a moment in time, a transition?  Join the ladies to find out where this conversation takes them.  Also, not to brag, but Scarlet gives you some red hot tips for (insert latest slang for "really great") mac & chee.  Snuggle up, grab that comfort snack/blanket/friend and listen!
