24. The Craft (1996)

It’s strange to think that a 90s teenage horror/urban fantasy film would be massively culturally important to the modern witchcraft movement, but for a generation of witches that’s exactly what The Craft is. In this super long episode of the podcast (seriously — it’s almost an hour and a half), I sit down with Hex Positive‘s Bree NicGarran for a chat about the film. We tackle the themes, plot, and cultural impact of this movie, along with some fun tangents along the way.

Buckle up, because one of these times the light’s not gonna be green.

16. Let’s Get Spooky (Again)! ft. Bree NicGarran

It’s that spooky time of year again. With Halloween and Samhain coming up in a few days, it’s time to talk about ghost stories again. This time around I’m joined by the author of Grovedaughter Witchery: Practical Spellcraft and The Sisters Grimmoire Bree NicGarran as we talk about our personal experiences with the paranormal. Like last year, this is an extended, hour long episode.

Oh, and I complain about deer for a minute in there. Because deer are annoying.
