On this episode, find out what Jason Mamoa smells like! Find out what Scarlet is harboring in her bathroom! Speaking of harbors, that is what the episode is all about this week- the witches discuss what the card could be between the Tower and The Star. No surprises, y'all, a lighthouse is the PERFECT symbol for where this yet-to-exist card falls. If you are jumping from your own personal tower, the best thing you could possibly hope for is, well, hope - but before you reach the hope that the Star brings, Blackbird and Scarlet talk about what could lead you to a more gentle landing. The lighthouse is a perfect image for leading you to safer shores. While you sail the freeway seas on Monday, may your commute be full of magic (because you are checking out this episode!)

The witches hope that everyone is beginning to thaw out, and are wishing everyone an Imbolc to remember! A new beginning is around the corner, even though it doesn't feel like it for some of us - brrr, remove us from this deep freeze! But with the celebration of the full moon, what better cards to contemplate than those that deal with the very nature of change? Scarlet and Blackbird pose thought-provoking questions to each other and to you, dear listeners. What could be the midpoint in between these two cards? As has been customary in this series, the witches are loving the sharing of ideas and collaboration, and are excited to share these with you. Enjoy and thank you for listening!

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!

This is a really special episode, and we are glad to A) be back and B) share these stories and awesome little pieces of magic with you in the form of tales about Scarlet's mother, who recently passed through the veil. Hug your people and happy holidays, everyone - make some hot cider and know that there are people out there who love you. Enjoy this episode and learn about a truly legendary and fiercely amazing woman. Also, watch some Pride and Prejudice!

This episode is taking you back...WAY BACK! Scarlet takes us on a journey alllll the way back to the time of Mycenean Greece - a short linguistics lesson to get us started, and then she compares and contrasts the aspects of the religion of "old old Greece" versus what we normally think of as ancient Greece.. Learn what was the same, learn what was different! Both are kind of surprising, with deities that you may be familiar with having different qualities than what you were taught to be their traits. Fascinating topic and a real learning opportunity - so much to find out about everyone's favorite gateway drug into the occult! School's back in session, y'all, take notes!

This week, your friendly neighborhood witches are taking a deep dive into Lida Pavlova's amazing book of tarot spreads called The Library of Questions.

On this episode, your favorite witch friends catch up on Scarlet's many adventures - to Vegas this time, where she had some very deep thoughts about Vegas!! - and both witches share their feelings and techniques on their various sports superstitions and yes, their MAGIC when it comes to their favorite hockey team, the one and only Dallas Stars (sad trombone as they did not make the Cup this year. Or last year. Or the year before.) Despite the team's losses, overall they are still an elite organization, and Scarlet and Blackbird do feel like they invoke power while they are holding their hockey rituals! Join in for a fun conversation that your ladies have been anticipating, because this is also the first time they are discussing this with each other! (Can't talk about it DURING the playoffs - it might be bad luck!)

Your witch friends are bringing this series to a close with a wrap-up of their final morning at the conference, where they participated in a Sekhmet ritual, then it was back to the wilds of New Jersey to do some goth sightseeing and of course, stop at Sonic for tots.

Listen as Blackbird discusses with Scarlet her super amazing trip to a cute little spot in New Jersey near the Delaware (Dela-here!) River, where she spent a fun afternoon with her tarot heroine, Laetitia Barbier! Ms. Barbier is a tarot and art history scholar, and the witches have spoken of her fantastic book, Tarot and Divination Cards: A Visual Archive. She presented several classes and workshops over the weekend of March 8th, and Blackbird shares what she learned! Please check out Laetitia's Patreon, Instagram, and Substack - well worth looking at all of these, her studies and insights are truly inspiring. Spring is spronging, but stay out of the crazy weather and enjoy this one with a fizzy water laced with Mio (Blackbird is hooked but also convinced her insides are dyed red now). Enjoy!!
