About this episode

The episode explores the intersections of witchcraft, feminism, and motherhood as acts of resistance against patriarchy.

Welcome to The Bell Witch Podcast. "Witching in the 21st Century" Opening with a person poem, in this Moot Loot episode of TBWP, Swailes welcomes back Katherine Lucy Haworth of Orange Blossom Old Ways, a shamanic practitioner and witch connected to Pendle Hill. Together, they explore witchcraft, feminism, and motherhood through a political and deeply personal lens. Katherine shares her spiritual journey, her connection to the land and witch trial history, and how home birth became a shamanic initiation. They discuss patriarchy's ongoing harm, the sacredness of women's bodies, and the importance of matriarchy as a model of healing and protection. The episode closes with a poem celebrating resilience and hope. Please take care when listening as heavy topics are discussed- Genocide, Gaza, death and tragedy .
