About this episode
The episode discusses the rise of anti-Wiccan sentiment on social media and features a conversation with Thumper Forge about debunking myths surrounding Wicca.
If you spend any amount of time on social media these days, especially TikTok, you'll find a surprising amount of anti-Wiccan sentiment... and a lot of it's pretty weird. Thumper Forge, Gardnerian Wiccan and author of the forthcoming The Chaos Apple, joins me as we, frankly, debunk some of the worst of it and talk about why we think this has happened.
