Wands and Fronds

Thank you for your patience - we know this one was late, but we promise there is a VERY valid excuse. Now, onto the show! This week, join Shannon and Nick as they make some very dated home security references in a conversation about home protection magic (hint, more Witch's Ladders, less lasers). Every grandma's favorite piece of bathroom decor, the Spider Plant, gets the love and attention it tru...

Join Shannon and Nick for their premier Q&A! They discuss open and closed witchcraft practices, ouija boards, their personal practices, and how Nick once owned a marvelous, robust, collection of Hawaiian shirts. This very special episode is brought to you by our amazing listeners, and lots of wine spritzers.  To contact these witches (and get info on where to mail a bag of rubies), you can email W...

Join Shannon and Nick as they share a powerful cord-cutting spell for the dumpster fire that was 2020, the first ACTUAL houseplant on the podcast that just so happens to be super trendy at the moment (hoyas!), and why "Dark Buddhism" is more than just a little sus (can you say, spirituality for sociopaths?). They also give some hot takes about Jason the Argonaut during a passionate defense of the...

Join Shannon and Nick as they cover the magic of the wonder-herb Echinacea, and welcome Wands & Fronds first guest, Nick's Uncle Gaius. They rant and rave about keeping Saturn in Saturnalia, why we need to #StopTheSteal (Christians stealing pagan traditions that is), and Nick shares recipes for some tasty, and magical, cocktail potions. To contact these witches (and get info on where to mail a bag...

Join Shannon and Nick as they cover Shannon's favorite dumpster-dive plant, Poinsettias! Nick dishes on a highly questionable virtual new-age practice, and shares tips on how to turn your favorite grandma brooch into a bonafide piece of magical armor. They also do some ridiculous British accents (sorry England) and discuss forest Santa a.k.a. the Holly King. Most importantly, we discover that both...

Join Shannon and Nick as they discuss all things Yule! From mistletoe and holly, to blood painted walls, you'll learn about the hardcore history of this holiday, how to celebrate in decidedly less gruesome ways, and enjoy Nick's attempts at Scandinavian. To contact these witches, you can email WandsandFrondsPod@gmail.com or message them on Instagram @WandsandFrondsPod.

Join Shannon and Nick as they discuss a pungent and lovable plant dude, garlic, how to protect yourself from vampires (and really anything else, but especially vampires), and why you should think twice before using home remedies for yeast infections...like, seriously, you maybe want to see a doctor about that. If you wanna get real Roman, and learn when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em, you'll lov...

Join Shannon and Nick on a beverage-filled adventure as they discuss wine, reading tea leaves, and why it's questionable to put armpit nutmeg into a mulled beverage for your prospective lover (we're also surprised this needed saying). The deity profile focuses on the host with the most, the king of debauchery, and Nick's personal fave, Dionysus. To contact these witches, you can email WandsandFron...

Join Shannon and Nick as they discuss the most iconic herb of all time - sage! They also cover an intro to kitchen witchery just in time for the holidays, talk about how Christianity tried to ruin our girl Hekate, and discuss the reasons you should reconsider hexing your uncle this holiday season...or don't - we're not here to judge (well, we'll judge a LITTLE). To contact these witches, you can e...

Join Shannon and Nick for a walk on the dark side. This week they lurk in the shadows with the darling datura stramonium, discuss why you should think twice before trusting white guys with dreads, and finally dive in deep on the topic of shadow work. Please reach out to WandsandFrondsPod@gmail.com to contact these witches.

Join Shannon and Nick for a (slightly delirious) election week episode! They dive into the actual magic of bath time, talk about the 10 million magical uses of rosemary, and show their age as they attempt to discuss TikTok drama. Please reach out to WandsandFrondsPod@gmail.com to contact these witches.

Join Shannon and Nick for a festive, Sabbat-themed episode! They dive into the uses of Calendula, the history of Samhain, and get judgy about some sketchy blood magic. Please reach out to WandsandFrondsPod@gmail.com to contact these witches.

In the world premier of Wands and Fronds, get to know your co-hosts! Shannon and Nick discuss their (very long) shared history, their magical practices, the houseplants they love, and the greenbelt residents they don't. Please reach out to WandsandFrondsPod@gmail.com to contact these witches.
