  1. Digital Protection Magic: Energetic Wards, Emoji Sigils and Freezer Spells

    Episode 184

    Show notes

    The internet can be a scary place, especially when you're putting yourself out there and making your magic visible. So how do you protect your energy online without shrinking yourself or letting the haters win?

    We're diving into social media protection magic, from freezer spells for people bringing negative energy your way to turning everyday emojis into sigils and weaving energetic wards around your online presence. We also explore the less magical (but just as important) side of protection: doing the inner work, embracing authenticity, setting boundaries around what you share, and learning to let people misunderstand you.

    Whether you're a seasoned witch, a spiritual business owner, or simply trying to feel more comfortable showing up online, this conversation is full of practical ideas for protecting your peace while still being unapologetically yourself.

  2. Haunted Dolls, Ghost Cats and Signs From the Other Side: Your Spooky Stories

    Episode 183

    Show notes

    What do you do when a ghost knocks a switchblade out of your dad’s hand? Or when the haunted doll you were warned about starts playing Frère Jacques in the middle of the night?

    For Samhain, we’re reading your real ghost stories in our Listener Shares segment, and reacting live with ZERO IDEA what’s coming. We hear about a haunted Victorian basement and setting boundaries with spirits, a porcelain doll that refused to sink, and Morris, the ghost cat of the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, America’s most haunted hotel.

    Plus, signs from loved ones after death that had us in tears: a flurry of white feathers, a very cheeky message from a late husband, and a birthday balloon that floated across a room to rest beside a photo of Nanny.

  4. Protection Magic for Your Home: Wards, Crystals, Herbs & More

    Episode 181

    Show notes

    Do you actually need to protect your home like it’s magical Fort Knox? Probably not.

    We’re kicking off our protection magic series by talking about all the ways we protect our homes without making it a whole scary thing. We get into plant wards, crystals, spell jars, salt, herbs, energetic boundaries, and some very simple ways to make your space feel protected.

    We also dive into how to know when your home protection needs a refresh, why protection magic doesn’t need to come from fear, and why sometimes the best protection magic is just… better boundaries.

    Plus, naturally, there are men hiding in bushes, chaotic cats, smoke cleansing at Pilates, and a surprising amount of Planned Parenthood merch. You know, normal protection magic stuff.

  5. Unfiltered Witchy Q&A: Baneful Magic, Tarot, Ancestors & Fighting the Gods

    Episode 180

    Show notes

    What happens when you hand us your witchiest questions and give us a microphone? Apparently, we start talking about hexes, dating as a witch, and which gods we think we could take in a fight.

    In this Q&A episode, we’re chatting about our favorite spooky season magical practices, ancestor altars, and the types of magic we simply are not interested in. We get into hexes vs. curses, baneful magic, and how to introduce your witchy side to a new partner without making it A Whole Thing.

    We’re also answering the truly important questions, like which deities we’d fight, whether Molly or Madison would win against each other, and the dumbest things we’ve ever asked our tarot cards.

    Grab your coffee, tea, or emotional support tarot deck and settle in… things get weird.

  6. The Truth About Moldavite: Meaning, Myths & Real Stories

    Episode 179

    Show notes

    You asked for it, and we’re finally going there… Moldavite!

    In the first instalment of Demysties Share, we’re sharing our personal experiences with one of the internet’s most talked-about stones and reacting to your wild Moldavite stories. We chat about what Moldavite actually is, its spiritual meaning, and why it became such a huge (and often fearmongered) topic on WitchTok.

    Molly also opens up about her Moldavite video that went viral with over 25 million views, how it changed the trajectory of her life, and the complicated reality of experiencing that level of visibility overnight.

    From relationships ending and careers changing to the downright unhinged stories the internet has blamed on Moldavite, we’re separating the stone from the fear and asking ‘Does Moldavite really destroy your life, or does it simply make it harder to ignore what needs to change?’

    Check out the infamous Moldavite TikTok from Molly here: https://www.tiktok.com/@m0dizzl3/video/6933371736842833158

    P.S. please don’t DM us about Moldavite and its uses or intentions as it will not be answered! Please and thank you, love y’all.

  7. Butt Sugar: The Story Our Patreon Can’t Stop Talking About [ACOMAM UNLOCKED]

    Episode 178

    Show notes

    You’ve heard us talk about butt sugar. You may have wondered what on earth we were talking about. Well, the time has finally come.

    After our original episode mysteriously disappeared, we’re bringing one of our most talked-about and beloved Patreon bonus episodes to the main feed. Madison shares the truly chaotic story of Percy’s neutering, an unexpected emergency vet visit, a lot of lube, and the moment a vet pulled out a bag labelled “butt sugar.” And somehow, that isn’t even the most unhinged part of the story.

    From an unfortunate photo being sent to the completely wrong person to trying to write a book while managing Percy’s recovery, this episode is pure chaos from start to finish. This is definitely not our usual Demystify Magic episode, but there’s a reason our Patreon members still talk about it. Enjoy the journey into butt sugar.

  8. The Dark Origins of Starseeds: Racism, Antisemitism and New Age Spirituality

    Episode 177

    Show notes

    What if a belief you’ve seen all over New Age spirituality has a history you’ve never been told?

    This week we’re diving deep into the origins of Starseeds and following the trail from Lemuria and Theosophy to William Dudley Pelley and the ideas that shaped modern Starseed culture.

    We explore how a scientific theory about lemurs became a lost civilization, how racial hierarchies became woven into spiritual teachings, and how those ideas evolved into beliefs about advanced souls, alien races and even reptilian beings.

    This isn’t about shaming anyone who has connected with Starseed beliefs. It’s about understanding where these ideas came from, recognising the history they carry, and deciding what we want to take forward in our own spiritual practices.

  10. Ragnarök in Norse Mythology: Balder’s Death and Heimdall’s Warning

    Episode 175

    Show notes

    What happens when the Norse gods know the end of the world is coming, but there’s nothing they can do to stop it?

    We’re diving into Ragnarök through the stories of two very different deities: Balder, god of light, beauty and joy, and Heimdall, the watchful guardian of Asgard. We explore Balder’s tragic death as the first unmistakable sign that Ragnarök is coming, Heimdall’s role in sounding the final warning, and how these two gods effectively bookend the Norse apocalypse.

    We also chat about Balder’s connection to grief, hope and the return of light, alongside Heimdall’s associations with protection, boundaries, perception and discernment. Plus, we discuss ways to work with both deities, their offerings, symbols and correspondences.

  11. Freya and Loki: The Outsiders of Norse Mythology Explained

    Episode 174

    Show notes

    What happens when love, beauty, war, magic and chaos collide in Norse mythology? In this episode, we’re diving into Freya and Loki, two figures who both exist on the edges of the worlds they inhabit.

    We explore Freya as the powerful goddess of love, beauty, war, death and seiðr magic, including her famous necklace, her connection to Odin and her role among the honored dead. We also discuss signs Freya may be reaching out and ways to work with her energy.

    Then we turn to Loki, the trickster, shapeshifter and blood brother of Odin, exploring his outsider status, his role in Ragnarok and what his chaos can teach us. Plus, we explore the fascinating duality of these two complex figures and what they reveal about power, identity and embracing the parts of ourselves that don't fit neatly into one box.

  12. Thor and Tyr Explained: Working With Norse Gods of Protection and Justice

    Episode 173

    Show notes

    What does protection look like when you can’t simply fight your way through the problem? In this episode of our Norse Pantheon series, we explore Thor and Tyr, two powerful Norse gods of protection who approach it in very different ways.

    We explore Thor, the god of thunder, strength and protection, including his infamous hammer, his battles with giants, and the surprising lessons hidden in his greatest “failures.” Then we turn to Tyr, the god of law, justice and oaths, and the story of how he sacrificed his hand to keep his word and bind Fenrir.

    We also chat about what it might look like to work with Thor and Tyr in your own practice, from protection magic and physical strength to oath work, justice, contracts and doing the right thing when it comes at a cost. Plus, we get into their offerings, correspondences, signs they may be reaching out, and why Pilates might just count as devotional practice.

    Episode 172

    Show notes

    We’re kicking off our Norse Pantheon series with Odin and Frigg, two incredibly powerful deities with very different relationships to knowledge, magic and fate.

    We dive into Odin, the All-Father and god of wisdom, war, poetry and runes, including his infamous sacrifices in pursuit of knowledge, his connection to Ragnarok, and what it might look like to work with him in your own practice.

    Then we explore Frigg, the queen of the Aesir, goddess of marriage, motherhood and foreknowledge. We explore her ability to know the fate of every being, the weight of carrying knowledge that cannot be changed, and her connection to weaving, home and hearth magic.

    We also explore what makes Odin and Frigg such a fascinating pairing, and how working with both can offer support when you're facing a truth you can't change.

  14. The Science of EFT Tapping: How Tapping Really Can Reduce Stress and Anxiety With Jacqui Acree

    Episode 171

    Show notes

    What if you could stop spiralling, calm your nervous system and actually create some space between something happening and your reaction to it?

    In this episode, we’re joined by EFT practitioner Jacqui Acree to talk all things EFT tapping, nervous system regulation and why tapping might be far more interesting than you think.

    We get into what is EFT, what’s happening in your brain and body when you tap, and why it can be so helpful for stress, anxiety, emotional overwhelm and those reactions that sometimes seem to come out of nowhere.

    Jacqui shares how tapping helped her process her own intense reactions, why our present-day responses can be connected to past experiences, and how tapping can help us access a different perspective without bypassing difficult emotions.

  16. What Is a Grimoire? History, Myths & How to Make Your Own

    Episode 169

    Show notes

    What even is a grimoire? Does it have to be leather-bound, handwritten, and passed down through generations? (Spoiler: absolutely not.) This week, we're diving into the history of grimoires, Book of Shadows, and magical journals, exploring where they came from, how they've evolved over time, and why there's so much confusion around what they're "supposed" to be.

    We're also sharing what our own grimoires actually look like, from digital notebooks and Notion pages to chaotic journals, collages, and junk journaling. Along the way, we bust some of the biggest grimoire myths, chat about the surprisingly fascinating history behind them, and share plenty of ideas to help you create a magical record that actually works for you.

    Whether you're starting your very first grimoire or looking for fresh inspiration, this episode is your reminder that there are no grimoire police, and your practice gets to look however you want it to.

  17. Why This Tarot Reader Is Suing Pennsylvania Over an 1861 Law with Beck Ravenswood

    Episode 168

    Show notes

    What happens when a tarot reader is told they could face jail time simply for doing their job?

    We’re joined by Beck Ravenswood, witch, tarot reader, and owner of The Serpent’s Key, to talk about the 1861 Pennsylvania law that makes fortune telling a crime and the federal lawsuit they’re fighting to have it struck down.

    Beck takes us inside the moment local police showed up at their shop, why they refused to back down, and how a viral TikTok turned their experience into a much bigger conversation about religious freedom, discrimination, and the rights of spiritual practitioners.

    We also dig into the troubling history behind fortune-telling laws, the importance of knowing your legal rights, and why this case could have an impact far beyond one tarot reader or one state.

    Plus, Beck shares how the witchcraft community can get involved through collective ritual and real-world action, and why magical intention should always be met with mundane action.

    This is a powerful conversation about community, courage, and what it means to stand up when outdated laws are still being used against marginalized practices.

  20. The Spiritual Practices We're Actually Doing Right Now

    Episode 166

    Show notes

    Have you ever looked at your spiritual practice and realized it looks completely different than it did a year ago? We're catching up on what our practices look like right now from astrology forecasts, tarot readings, and Buddhism to hot Pilates, community, and navigating spiritual imposter syndrome.

    We share what's grounding us in this season of life, the practices we're leaning into, and why growth often requires us to step into new identities before we feel fully ready. If your spiritual path has been shifting lately, this conversation will feel like a chat with friends who get it.
