Mandrake Root and Gnomes

This week, the witches are covering dirty little friends - Mandrake root and gnomes!

It's that time of year again - Midsummer! In their second trip around the wheel of the year, the witches are covering the history of Litha or Midsummer celebrations around the world.

Phallic Magics, Fenugreek, and Priapus

WARNING - This is an episode with graphic content...the witches are talking about penis magic so there is discussion of a very sexual nature. Be warned!

Nick is covering phallic magics and introduces us to the most hung god, Priapus. Shannon talks about Fenugreek which is both great for Indian food and for prosperity magic.

Oak Trees, Storm Magic, and Taranis

It's time for spring storms, and Nick and Shannon are on theme this week. Nick talks about the Celtic god of storms (but also, maybe all weather), Taranis! He also gives a great intro to storm magic...just use caution since he is an Aries and not all recommendations are...the safest?

Shannon talks about the MIGHTY oak tree. The Vikings made their ships out of it, so of course it's a bomb choice for magical tools. She also gives a great recipe for making magical ink using Oak Galls!
