Happy Summer Solstice witches! To cap off Gemini season, our hosts chat about Gemini's Hellenismos journey and how it's changed over the years. 

Happy New Moon New Book and Happy Gemini month! Our hosts discuss Jamie Waggoner's Hades: Myth, Magic and Devotion. It won't be the episode you expect, but it is the episode you need! 

What's up witches and happy Sagittarius Full Moon! Feels fitting to be talking about protection during a Sag moon, especially when our hosts chat about the intersection of protection and technology. We knew we had to revisit protection after reading The Evil Eye, so if you liked May's previous episode, you're primed and ready for this one!

Ever wondered about the Evil Eye? Did you grow up with a family superstition or feel like its a silly old wives tale? Gemini and Scorpio dive into The Evil Eye: The History, Mystery and Magic of the Quiet Curse by Antonio Pagliarulo, the Italian Witch, and learn a lot! 

You know her, you love her, welcome back Monica Bodirsky ! Not only do our three hosts discuss Monica's new Awakening Tarot (tl;dl: buy it, we love it!), but she teases ANOTHER NEW DECK, as well as so many cool things you just have to tune in to hear them all. Come for the tarot, stay for spiritual therapy. 

"Talk about a witch in time[!]" For this intense eclipse episode, Scorpio and Gemini talk about the power of personal narrative and the importance of self-confidence while discussing Sybil Leek's Diary of a Witch. If you want Scorpio to write a memoir and/or want to know Gemini's opinion on eclipses, this is episode for you!

Happy Libra Full Moon (and start of eclipse season 2024)! Join our hosts as they discuss the Divine Feminine in their traditions, inspired by last episode's book, Orishas, Goddess and Voodoo Queens, by Lilith Dorsey.

For the Pisces New Moon, Scorpio and Gemini discuss Orishas, Goddesses, and Voodoo Queens: The Divine Feminine in the African Religious Traditions by Lilith Dorsey. Full of stories and essential info about the feminine entities, spirits, deities and ancestors of African Traditional Religions, this book is an important read, prompting important conversations (and some Scorpio lore for the dedicated...

In the spirit of Marion Gibson's Witchcraft (our last episode, if you haven't heard it!), today our hosts talk about Scorpio's Espiritismo - what is it, what was it like to be raised in a spiritual practice and what Scorpio wants you to know about the Espiritismo that she grew up with. This episode isn't a How To Guide, but instead a journey through Scorpio's personal history, or at least as much...

For February's New Moon, New Book, Scorpio and Gemini talk to Marion Gibson, professor, historian and author of the recently released Witchcraft: A History in 13 Trials. One part delightful conversation, one part book-review-turned-existential-crisis, this is a must hear episode for the witches and witch-adjacent alike!   From the University of Exeter : Marion is a Professor of Renaissance and Mag...

What's up witches and happy Leo Full Moon! Join our hosts Gemini and Scorpio, as well as friends of the pod Cawnawyn Mor and Morgana of Modern Druid as they discuss their relationships with the Great Queen Herself, The Morrigan.

Happy Capricorn New Moon and happy first New Moon, New Book of the new year! Today's pod is all about Stephanie Woodfield's Priestess of the Morrigan: Prayers, Rituals & Devotional Work to the Great Queen. In true NM, NB fashion, Gemini has an existential crisis, but we also get some new Scorpio lore at the end, as well as some intermittent discussion of New Year's Resolutions. Welcome back fo...

Happy Cancer Full Moon and happy year FIVE!!! wrap up! We love y'all so much and are so grateful that we got to do this for five years (and that we get to do it even bigger and better for who knows how many more?!) 

For the last New Moon, New Book of 2023 (ohmygods!!!) Scorpio and Gemini read Karl Herr's Hex and Spellwork: The Magical Practices of the Pennsylvania Dutch, a book that wasn't what either expected! An interesting end to the 5th year of Witchspace Podcast to say the least. 

Thank you to  Moon Serpent and Bone Magical Night Market for sponsoring this "mini"-podcast! Amy welcomes us to the 5th Annual Yule Market, Scorpio and Gemini discuss Yule in the headspace of Year 1, and we hear a spotlight from one of the vendors in attendence! 

We can bet you've seen them too - shoddily made tarot and oracle decks with a big QR code on the back, some even impersonating popular decks published by the big wigs themselves. Gemini and Scorpio hosted new friends Sasha Graham and MJ Cullinane, as well as our beloved Monica Bodirsky to talk about the havoc these counterfeit products are wreaking on the witchcraft community.  Find our guests onl...

What's up witches? For November's New Moon, New Book, your hosts read Baba Yaga's Book of Witchcraft by Madame Pamita. Besides being enamored by the book's structure and it's loving approach to Ukrainian magic, Gemini and Scorpio discuss why they read books with magic they won't do and whether or not they are tenderheaded. 

What's up witches? Instead of talking about Samhain again in Year 5, we decided to talk about Samhain! Specifically, what's the deal with witches being SO into Halloween, what Scorpio's perfect Samhain would look like and the pressure on witchy girls to be perfect Samhain baddies on the 'gram and otherwise. If you are having trouble deciding between Halloween and Samhain, join us, because we kind...

Dr. Barbara Black Koltuv does a deep meditation into the history and mythology surrounding Lilith and our beloved hosts do an episode reminiscent of Margaret Murray in Season One. Also, Gemini has a lot of feelings, some of which you might not expect! This one is chock full. Of what? You'll have to tune in and find out! Note: This episode originally aired on 10/14/23 and was updated on 10/17/23. 

Thank you to  Moon Serpent and Bone Magical Night Market for sponsoring this "mini"-podcast!

We can't wait to see you on October's very own Friday the 13th f...

Drawn in by his beautiful artwork and skill with divination, it was a no-brainer to invite Steven Bright onto the podcast. What we didn't expect (and maybe he didn't either) was just how impactful and insightful our conversation would be. In a year that seems, at it's core, to be about the shadow work one does to find and define their individual path, Steven's artwork and insight are like the Herm...

Welcome to The Witching Year, a memoir written by Diana Helmuth about her year-and-a-day journey into modern witchcraft. Not only did we read The Witching Year, but we brought Diana on to talk all thing new witch, old witch and in-between witch. And if you're thinking - hey, how come I haven't heard of this book before? That's because it's currently avaible for pre-order and dropping on October 3r...

En nuestro último episodio de 2023 Escorpión habla sobre otro Espiritismo de Puerto Rico. En esta filosofía se crio ella y nos da una introducción.

Happy Supermoon witches! This episode comes in as a Gemini special request and while it literally covers Oedipus, Hubris and the reading philosophy "Death of the Author", there's lots more discussed, in between and around, including but not limited to Scorpio's Starbies order. 

Happy Leo New Moon witches! Not only did our hosts want to discuss some awesome zines they picked up from Catland , but Gemini goes fully looney tunes TWICE this episode (once about Bird Law and once about Bats!). Tune in if you're ready to learn and not particularly picky about what!
