| 5/18/26 | Are We Witches...Hexing? | Lisa is back in the land of the living, and Are We Witches? is finally back in the swing of things.This week, we dive into hexes, curses, and humanity’s long fascination with the idea that ritual alone can cause real harm. From the evil eye and bone-pointing traditions to “voodoo death” and the nocebo effect, we explore the strange intersection of fear, belief, psychology, and magic.We also unpack modern witchcraft beliefs around hexing, including the idea that hatred and destructive intent may ultimately harm the person sending it.We have a strict no-hexing policy at Are We Witches? …but we’re endlessly curious about it.Sources for Who, What, Witch, Where?:CANNON, W.B.

| 4/27/26 | Are We Witches...Healing? | Look, it's been a rough patch for these witches, but they're back to talk about the (witch)craft of healing, from herbalism that turned into pharmacology, our friend the placebo effect, and the concepts of energy and remote healing. Lisa's tricks involve the return of a piano with a message of hope, Sarah's cycling adventures go awry, and the witches put a new twist on an old "mancy."--Follow us on instagram at arewewitches and write to us at arewewitches@gmail.comAny problem you want a magical solution for, please write in for a bit of advice and a magical prescription.

| 2/2/26 | Were We Witches? | Join Lisa and Sarah as they explore the science behind epigenetics, the “witch wound” and inherited trauma as they untangle the complexity of their current lives and the karmic potential of many more.Investigating this first hand, Lisa visits a past life psychic medium with good friend Monique. Having such a strong connection they want to know, is this the first life in which they met? Or have they met before? Meanwhile Sarah looks for more signs from the universe (is she on the right path?) and our hosts offer a little DIY magic at home (we could all use a little help moving forward, right?).So join them for this deep dive special into past lives as they attempt to answer the question, is this their first time around?Citations for Who, What, Witch, Where?:https://news.yale.edu/2025/03/06/violent-experiences-alter-genome-ways-persist-generationsMagic for the Masses spell:https://witchcasket.co.uk/blog/letting/—Follow us on instagram at arewewitches and write to us at arewewitches@gmail.comAny problem you want a magical solution for, please write in for a bit of advice and a magical prescription.

| 11/24/25 | Are We Witches...With Familiars? | Familiars take many shapes and sizes; cute, cunning and spectral. Posited as a spiritual companion, Sarah and Lisa wonder what it means to be accompanied by a familiar today.From the witch's black cat archetype to the spirit of a dead man sent from the Fairy Kingdom, the history of familiars is traced back to Early Modern England, where we find the first woman executed for witchcraft assisted by a cat named Sathan (pronounced 'Satan') and the "Witchfinder General" making wild accusations against diabolical animal spirits called Vinegar Tom, Pyewacket, and Grizzel.There is also a tarot spread chosen by a cat (what could he be trying to tell us?), suggestions for supporting your local wildlife, and the calming power of rose quartz helps to soothe a familiar in an anxious moment.This episode is co-hosted by Mina, Otto and Sven, beautiful, faithful familiars to the Are We Witches? podcast.Citations for Who, What Witch, Where?:https://gutenberg.org/cache/epub/14015/pg14015-images.htmlhttps://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Examination_and_Confession_of_certain_Witches_at_Chelmsford_in_the_County_of_EssexHenderson, L.

| 9/15/25 | Are We Witches...In Mythology? | Witches appear across mythology at critical turning points - indispensable in service to heroes, yet often discarded once their role is fulfilled.

| 7/28/25 | Are We Witches...Under the Influence? | This week, Lisa Marmur and Sarah Drummond ask a deliciously intoxicating question: are we witches under the influence? From broomstick balms to biodynamic Burgundy, this episode dives deep into the relationship between witches and altered states, whether induced by plants, potions, mushrooms, or fermented magic. From medieval “flying ointments” made with deadly nightshades to modern ayahuasca ceremonies and the psychedelic rituals of ancient Mesoamerica, we examine what’s history, what’s myth, and what might still be very much in practice.Citations for Who, What Witch, Where?:Carhart-Harris, R. et al.

| 7/14/25 | Are We Witches...In the Forest? | Lisa and Sarah step into the wild to meet the forest witches. From Baba Yaga’s chicken-legged hut deep in the woods to the eerie whispers of the Blair Witch, the forest has always been cast as a place of danger, magic, and transformation.In this episode, we explore the lore and symbolism of the forest witch: the old crone in the clearing, the healer at the edge of the village, the spirit of wild nature itself. We ask: What were forest witches in folklore? And who are they now?Join us as we untangle the roots of this enduring archetype.Whether you're deep in the woods or just witch-curious, this one’s for you.Citations for Who, What Witch, Where?:Dugan, Frank M. “Baba Yaga and the Mushrooms.” FUNGI, vol. 10, no. 2, Summer 2017, pp. 6–18.Johns, A.
