Talk about a new moon, new book! This episode runs the gamut - Gemini and Scorpio talk about Gerald Gardner, the Devil, fairies, Baba Yaga and the importance of permission in a little over an hour as they discuss Kelden's The Crooked Path. 

What's up witches and happy Full Moon Eclipse (with Mars in Retrograde 😬)! While we don't actually plan our drops astrologically, this episode is the perfect companion to chaotic eclipse energy. Feeling tired? Stressed? Like you're a terrible witch? Your beloved hosts discuss all the various aspects of what happens when spellwork doesn't quite work the way you wanted. Come for some restful energy...

What's up witches? Gemini thought Espiritismo by Hector Salva was going to be a deep-dive into the practice Scorpio learned growing up... and she was kinda right! Dive into the "science of the spirit" and find out the places that Scorpio's espiritismo differs in this Aries New Moon drop! 

Happy Spooky Season witches and welcome to a fun table talk with friends of the podcast Melissa from LightClub Curiosities and Amy from Otherworldly Waxes! Gemini, Scorpio and guests discuss spooky Halloween topics while also providing helpful advice for people struggling with the spiritual and supernatural. A pleasure to record, we are sure it will be a pleasure to listen to!

What's up witches and welcome to an episode about words. Scorpio and Gemini discuss the concepts of "ancient", "magic words", and "spells" as they anaylze Claude Lecouteux's dissertation level work. 

Happy Full Moon witches! We got Monica Bodirsky and Morgana of Modern Druid together to talk about Activism and Witchcraft - what does it mean, how does a witch do activism, and what it means to each of us. If you're feeling fired up (or, conversely, overwhelmed), this episode has discussions and advice to help you carve your path.

Did you hear that rumor going around that Gemini had a baby? Well it's true! This jam-packed episode covers the book Witchy Mama, by Melanie Marquis and Emily Francis, as well as gives Scorpio the opportunity to ask her burning questions about how motherhood is affecting her cohost. If you were curious, here's where we spill the milk! 

What's up (with empaths), witches? For the Aquarius Full Moon, Gemini and Scorpio discuss empaths - what are they, how to help them, and overall what's up! Full disclosure: This episode was recorded prior to Gemini's maternity leave (and aged liked fine wine), but it is also the LAST pre-recorded episode! 

Progressive Witchcraft is a book from 2004 that couldn't be more relevant for 2022. Not just your traditional Witchspace book analysis, Scorpio and Gemini also break down what being progressive means in These Unprecedented Times. (Keep an ear out at the end of this episode for some explanations you might have missed if you're not following @witchspaceco on instragram!) 

Unlike today's Capricorn Full Moon, this episode of Witchspace podcast asks you to get a little child-like as we explore our tips for a witchy summer! This episode is fun and fancy free, with our hosts discussing how they plan to spend the incredibly hot summer months. But don't worry, Gemini is still shook by Scorpio's insight, as per usual! 

Though this isn't quite a "witch book", there's a ton to discuss in Sam van Schaik's anthropological text on Buddhist magic! Our hosts run the gamut of practical, historical, philosophical and theological commentary. Just don't use this episode as a drinking game where you take a shot every time Gemini says "context" 😵 

What's up witches! Do you meditate? Gemini and Scorpio discuss some of the different types of meditation, from the expected (like transcendental mantra meditation) and the not so much (like hexing!). And of course, Gemini has her mind blown again, because that seems to be the theme of this season! Happy Sagittarius Super Moon! 

You'd think a book called The Poison Path Herbal would lead to a somber, macabre discussion, but then you clearly wouldn't be thinking about a discussion between Gemini and Scorpio! Our intrepid hosts discuss Coby Michael's recent book with vim, vigor and lots of laughs (though there are certainly some morbid moments). Are you ready to walk down the poison path with us? 

This moon, Scorpio and Gemini reflect on their personal relationships to aging in the craft and how society can (and does) shape the way we grow, both as individuals and as a witch community. Whether you're a maiden, mother, or a crone, this episode asks us to consider what aging means to us and how we do or do not represent age in our practice!

If you've never heard of Nicholaj Frisvold or of the African diasporic religion Palo Mayombe, this New Moon, New Book episode will be full of new knowledge and culture. Our hosts discuss the history and development of the religion, as well as the ways mainstream culture has demonized Palo and its sister practices. Following on the heels of the Full Moon episode, there's discussion of mediumship, p...

Inspired by this month's New Moon, New Book, Scorpio and Gemini dive into the realm of psychics and mediumship, but don't worry! They also discuss such beloved topics as "Capitalism is a plague", "your kid might be weird but that's okay" and "we really need to do an episode about aging in the craft". You might not come out of this episode with a concrete definition of a psychic, but you will certa...

What's up witches and welcome to the astrological new year! For this Aries New Moon, our hosts tackle Power of the Witch, by Laurie Cabot, prolific and famous Official Witch of Salem. This book gets rave reviews and sparks some interesting conversations about gender and child-rearing, as well as our regularly scheduled segment, Gemini wants to fistfight Gerald Gardner! 

What's up witches and welcome to another of Gemini's existential crises! Think of this podcast as "Wicca Plus", as our hosts discuss how they have mixed traditions and what mixing traditions with Wicca might look like in the future. Also, throw in some "time is a construct" and "non-judgement is harder than it looks" for an unexpectedly deep episode for the Virgo Full Moon! 

We had a fun time with this one, witches. The March ✨New Moon, New Book✨ is Philip Carr-Gomm's Druid Mysteries, a book that spawned so many conversations, we couldn't possibly fit them into one episode! 

What's up witches and welcome to a new addition to the Witchspace Rotation! We have really been enjoying doing interviews for you, but sometimes we want to dive deeper into specific topics with our guests - and thus the table talk was born. For our first installment, we spoke to musician and skeptic Anne Bennett about the way that Science interacts with our magical and spiritual practices, as well...

Dive into Cerridwen: Celtic Goddess of Inspiration with Gemini and Scorpio for the February ✨New Moon, New Book✨! Whether you have already perused Hughes' library, like Scorpio, or are just being introduced to Cerridwen and Welsh tradition, like Gemini, this episode has something for everyone. 

Another astrologically serendipitous podcast drop - Gemini and Scorpio interview musician and witch Cawnawyn Mor for the Cancer Full Moon of January 2022! If you only know Cawnawyn because she made our new intro music, you are in for a treat! This is the perfect episode for music lovers, baby witches and creatives alike. Once you've heard it all, head over to Smashing Ivory Productions to see ever...

Welcome to 2022 witches! The inaugural episode of Season 4 tackles Everyday Witchcraft: Making Time for Spirit in a Too-Busy World, by Deborah Blake and our hosts loved every minute of it! If you've ever felt too busy to be a "real witch", this book gives you permission to say screw that and live the witchy truth you've always wanted! 

What's up witches and welcome to another December Q&A! We can't believe it's the end of our THIRD YEAR as a podcast, so we had to celebrate by answering your questions from our Instagram stories, as well as teasing some new Witchspace features. Let us know what you think!
