We’re putting the folklore of Ed and Lorraine Warren under a microscope in this episode. Madison leads a fiery deep dive while Molly brings outside research and big questions.
We unpack how the Warrens’ self-made legend from “demonologists” to pop-culture darlings via The Conjuring collides with allegations, contradictions, and media spin. Plus we take a deep look into the reasoning why Matt Rife bought the Annabelle house and his new brand deal campaign with E.L.F Cosmetics.

From shampoo bottles to shower curtains, your bathroom is secretly full of magical tools waiting to be put to work. In this episode of our Mundane Magic series, we explore how everyday routines, from singing badly in the shower for throat chakra healing to charging your body wash with manifestation energy, can become rituals of release and renewal. Yes, even toilet cleaning makes an appearance as a spell for abundance.
We’ll share bathroom witchery in all its forms: skincare as self-love spells, shower curtains as energy filters, and cleansing practices that shift more than just your skin. Plus, hear new takes on cord-cutting rituals, crystal allies for letting go, and why swapping your toothbrush at the solstice can reset your energy. Expect laughter, playful magic, and plenty of inspiration to see your bathroom not just as a room of routine, but as a sacred space for transformation.

Think your kitchen is just for cooking? Think again. It’s actually the most magical room in your home. This week’s episode mixes unhinged banter with a dash of kitchen witchery, kicking off with a chaotic round of “F*ck, Marry, Kill,” plenty of tangents about MGK, pets, and beverage obsessions, before grounding into the true magic of the home… the kitchen.
From the ritual of morning coffee to the abundance of a stocked fridge, we share how everyday tasks can become kitchen witch rituals that spark creativity, nourishment, and energy. You’ll learn how the kitchen connects to fire energy and the solar plexus chakra, plus get practical tips for simmer pots, rotating stovetop burners, and leaving offerings for your home spirit. Expect laughter, pasta-shape spells, and plenty of inspiration to see your kitchen as the heart of both body and magic.

Laundry doesn’t have to suck your soul, what if it could recharge it instead? In this episode, we head to the laundry room to reframe the most dreaded chore into a space for energetic renewal. From folding affirmations into your clothes to banishing stains with a spell, we’re sharing low-effort rituals that make laundry feel (dare we say?) a little bit sacred.
We also talk crystals, comfy underwear, intuitive sock-finding, and why your hamper might need a cleanse. It’s practical, playful, and filled with ways to turn routine into ritual, one load at a time.

Ever wondered what happens when your favorite witches tackle a Q&A during Mercury retrograde? This week, we’re leaning all the way into the cozy chaos, celebrating “mundane magic” moments like surviving ten years without a dentist visit (and somehow no cavities!), sharing Shania Twain bucket-list adventures, and laughing our way through the most delightfully random questions from our Patreon community. It’s low-effort, high-fun magic, and we’re letting you in on all the silliness.
We also dive into thoughtful topics like how we introduce kids to spiritual practices without pressure, navigating breakups with self-love before spellwork, and what being truly connected feels like for each of us. If you’re ready for a mix of witchy wisdom, humor, and heart, this episode is for you.

We’re deep in Mercury retrograde chaos and honestly? You can tell. From strange travel moments to internet failures and rogue flossers on planes (yes, really), we’re unpacking all the weird, frustrating, and hilarious ways this retrograde has shown up in our lives.
In this episode, we talk about what Mercury retrograde and its shadow phases really mean, why they hit so hard, and how to work with the energy instead of against it. Madison pulls tarot for both the retrograde and the post-shadow phase, Molly drops a hockey metaphor you didn’t see coming, and we both admit we’re getting through it with tea, naps, and a lot of deep sighing. If it feels like nothing’s going to plan lately, you’re not alone, and this one’s for you.

If you’ve ever wondered how other witches weave magic into their everyday lives, or questioned if your rituals “count”... this episode is for you. We’re handing the mic to our brilliant community to share what a day in the life of a modern witch really looks like.
In this episode, we’re celebrating it all, grounding walks with dogs (hi, Bandit), crystal-charged coffee, bedtime candle rituals, and moments of magic between toddler wrangling and commutes. Some routines are elaborate, others simple, but ALL are powerful.
Plus we talk about permission, perfectionism, and why your spiritual practice is already more than enough. Whether you’re drawing runes in your mug or manifesting ease through Stardew Valley, your magic is valid!

If you’ve ever wondered whether you need nature’s permission to take that feather, or blamed the fairies for stealing your keys, this episode is for you. We’re diving into the messy magic of spiritual consent, how to work with the energy around you (instead of forcing your will onto it), and why your offerings might be getting ignored.
In this first-ever Spiritual Tidbits episode, we’re bringing the chaos: book baby breakthroughs, Bojangles-level manifestations, and a hot take on angel numbers that doesn’t require Google. Plus, we finally talk about the fae, why they get a bad rap, how to leave offerings with actual energetic boundaries, and what TikTok fear-mongering gets totally wrong.
Whether you’re deep in your witchy era or just spiritually curious with strong opinions about fast food, this episode is your permission slip to do it your way!

In this special Q&A episode, we're answering your most burning questions, from stepping into your teacher era to running a business with a squiggly brain. We chat about what it actually feels like to start teaching before you feel “ready,” how to infuse your writing with ritual and intention, and simple ways to make your garden a living altar (yes, even if the squirrels eat your seedlings).
We also get real about what it’s like to run a business with ADHD, why structure can be a double-edged sword, the power of accountability, and the importance of outsourcing the stuff that drains your magic. Whether you’re navigating fear, planting new intentions (literally or figuratively), or trying to find the flow in your creative practice, this episode is here to remind you: it’s okay to do it scared.

We’re diving headfirst into spring cleaning, witchy style! This episode is all about harnessing that fresh seasonal energy to clear your space and renew your spirit.
From tackling chaotic closets and cable nests to turning humble dryer lint into spellwork and calling on the fae to help you mop, we’re blending practical to-dos with a healthy dose of magic. Molly shares how spring cleaning aligns with the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) view of renewal, while Madison explores the emotional weight of those grimy shower curtain liners and dusty altars.
We’re also talking about the power of figurines, the mysteries of lawn witchery, and offering you a little sneak peek at Molly’s upcoming book. So, whether you’re elbow-deep in decluttering or still in denial about that dryer vent, grab your broom, this episode is your invitation to infuse a little magic into your cleaning ritual.

In this heartwarming and hilarious episode, we’re joined by a VERY special guest, Madison’s mom and co-conspirator in both life and business, Christy Howard! Known lovingly as “the mom in Florida” to many, Christy shares her deeply personal spiritual journey, from a midlife panic attack to discovering her calling and opening The Healing Hedge Witch.
We dive into what it’s really like to parent a witchy kid, why your spiritual practice doesn’t need to be flashy to be powerful, and how menopause has shaped her relationship with intuition, ritual, and cronehood. Christy also reflects on raising Madison with openness, humor, and a deep respect for her autonomy and shares some surprising psychic stories from Madison’s childhood.
Whether you're navigating a spiritual awakening, embracing the crone era, or just want to hear a truly magical story about four rescued kittens, this episode is a must-listen.
In this chaotic Q&A episode we take a detour from our usual structure to answer your submitted questions! From feeling disconnected from your spirituality to spell fails and Sims-based candle magic (yes, really), we dive into how everyday routines can spark magic moments.
We share our current favourite tarot decks and cards, how to imbue emojis and objects with intention, and the messy magic of starting to read professionally. Plus tune in to hear more about spirit guides and a heartwarming chat about grief, growth, and giving ourselves grace.
With the Winter Solstice just days away (December 21st) we wanted to record a collective tarot reading & meditation to share with you the lessons and guidance you may need to hear as we move into this new season. Madison performs a tarot reading, interpreting the cards as a call for rest and self-care during the busy holiday season.
Molly guides you through a meditation perfect for those who are struggling to get into the mode of rest and receiving, or those of you who feel like you are swept up in the busy and are ready to feel restful. This is an active meditation, but you may also want to revisit it when you’re able to be still and focused.
Whether you want to use spell jars for manifestation, protection, or simply adding more magic to your life – in this episode we’ll walk you through each step of making your spell jar (BTW– it’s WAYYY easier than you might think!)

By the end, you'll not only understand how spell jars work but also be equipped with the knowledge and skills to create your own and harness their magic in your life.
What happens when magic meets meaningful action? In this episode, we talk with Gina Luker, a generational witch, soft life mentor, and founder of Illumine Magazine, about how she blends witchcraft, activism, and community care.

When life feels cluttered, communication gets sticky, or you’re craving clarity, it might be time to reconnect with the Air element. In this episode, we explore how Air shows up through breath, boundaries, communication, and even grief, drawing from traditions like witchcraft, tarot, and Traditional Chinese Medicine. From the lungs and large intestine to the heart chakra and the suit of swords, we look at how this element influences both mind and body.
We also share simple, grounding ways to work with Air in your daily life, think breathwork, smoke cleansing, sound rituals, and letting the wind do its thing. Whether you’ve felt disconnected from this element or just want to understand it more deeply, this episode offers both insight and a little lightness along the way.
What if your lack of motivation, your worry spirals, and even your digestive issues all pointed back to one thing… your connection to the Earth element?

Through the lenses of Traditional Chinese Medicine, chakra work, and tarot, we explore how Earth shows up in our bodies, our boundaries, and our relationship with money and support.
You'll learn how to recognize when your Earth energy is out of balance, what it means to feel truly grounded, and how to reconnect through simple, tangible rituals. From food choices and floor-sitting to crystal work and setting boundaries, this episode invites you to spend a week getting back to basics and rooting into what really sustains you.
