A warm and blessed Winter Solstice, my witchy friends! In the final episode of 2024 I am talking about connection, darkness, and the balancing act of real vs. not real that witches are having to perfect now more than ever.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

This year we're talking about sacrifice - including human sacrifice so TRIGGER WARNING: death and child loss/sacrifice.

Every Halloween we examine some of the myths and legends that make up the image of The Halloween Witch, and the ways it differs from real witchcraft. In this episode you'll learn what sacrifice and offerings mean to modern witches, how to make them in your own practice, and some of the interesting difference across cultures and religions. Then we get spooky - human sacrifice, and hurting children - is a big bad ugly part of the popular fiction about evil witches. Where did this come from, and why do these ideas persist? Also... where and why were ancient people sacrificing humans in the first place?!

This is not an episode to listen to with your kids or trick or treaters, sorry everyone! But I hope you find it as fascinating, infuriating, and magical I did.

Happy Halloween!
