Witchcraft Off the Beaten Path

You know when you;ve been unable to do any work on your path, for whatever reasons, and you start to feel like you're maybe not actually a witch anymore,... and you can't help but be surrounded by witches doing their craft all over the place? Posting videos of spell casting, jinx throwing, their altars, their rituals? You can't get away from it, and it just serves as a "brain weasel", telling you you're not a good enough witch... I thought we needed a word for that, so until we get one, I'm just calling it Witch Dysmorphia.

SJ Tucker's Parking Lot Concert at Aunt Eek's here in Amarillo! We had a blast, the sun came out right before night fall, the rain prior to the show cooled off the air, and all was right in the world. I loved getting to meet so many of you! This is the first Video Podcast episode of Witchcraft Off the Beaten Path - might not be the last!  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/molly-dyer/message

So, what happens when SJ Tucker calls and says "I'm gonna be traveling through Amarillo in a couple of months... would you mind if I stayed with you while I'm there on my way to a gig in Arizona?" ?  You plan a parking lot concert at Aunt Eek's Books & Curiosities. And a podcast episode from the sofa of your living room. And of course, it's no ordinary episode. It's Witches in Jammies with Snacks.

Here it is - the 100th Episode! So... okay. It's actually the 101st episode, but I felt like the last episode "Fuck the Patriarchy" was sort of necessary. You might hear yourself in this episode!

This is the raw audio. It is unedited! It's like when sitcoms from the 90s would do a live recording... anything can happen! Not much happened, but I sniffled a few times, my dog had a loud, and I burped once.  212-679-6018 is the number for the National Lawyers Guild. ***I am restricted on Facebook right now.

My friend Amy agreed to eat some snacks with me while in our jammies! We chatted about Gatekeeping in witchcraft, she had an epiphany that she shared with me. We also talked about some delicious cheese, Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs perfumes, and Sucreabeille Perfumes and Incences; There was talk about Amy's FICTION writing (YES! SHE IS WRITING FICTION) as well as her 6th and 7th published tomes. We talked about witchcraft in movies, and a bunch of other things you'll just have to listen to hear about. I always love it when Amy comes by, but that's only made better by the presence of snacks.  Find Amy Blackthorn here and here and here Find me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter & TikTok  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/molly-dyer/message

I *finally* got to talk to Australian witch, psychic reader, and founder of SpellBox, a popular metaphysical store in Melbourne, Australia, and author of the new book "Becoming the Witch; The Art of Magick". We had a great talk about not only her book, but using imagination in witchcraft, the differences between Southern Hemisphere and Northern Hemisphere witchcraft and paganism, and she gave a beautiful reading of a lovely ritual from her book.  Find Danae Moon Thorp here.

I've always been so envious of the freedom my completely-out-of-the-broom-closet witch friends seem to enjoy. And while I know the grass is always greener on the other side, I know there are pitfalls and pratfalls for those witches who get to live out and proud, just as there are for those of us witches who have at least one foot in the broom closet. How valid are witches who have to practice from behind the broom closet door?  Find me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter & TikTok  Find Twisted.Twigs, Suzee at TerminallyHomosexual and Zandra at Appalachian.Molotov on TikTok --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/molly-dyer/message

Halloween was on October 31st, but Samhain - Astrologically - isn't until November 6th at 10:50pm Central US time this year. It's a Cross-quarter day (between the equinoxes and solstices) so it happens when the sun is in 15º Scorpio. It's coming! Here are a few things you can do to celebrate astrological Samhain including Ancestor Altars to venerate your ancestors, baking Soul Cakes, and scrying when the veil is its absolute thinnest. Here's the Soul Cakes Recipe from this episode: 1 stick of unsalted butter, softened 4 TBS sugar 1 1/2 Cups flour ¼ tsp salt Preheat oven to 350º. Cream together the butter and sugar. Sift flour and salt into the bowl, and mix until it's smooth. Divide the dough into two parts, and shape each half into a flat circle about half an inch thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and, using the tines of a fork, press perforations into the disc from one side to the other in the spokes of a wheel, like a pie. Make 8 wedges on each disc. This will make it easier to break apart once it's baked and cooled. Bake for 25 minutes or until light brown.

Halloween on October 31st is not the same as Samhain. I mean, it is... but it isn't. This week, I take you through a brief, somewhat sketchy look at the History of the Halloween holiday, from its humble beginnings to its near ban due to muggings, and to now, which is all about the sweets, babes.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/molly-dyer/message

Mortellus joins me for a chat about ghosts, but it might not be what you think it is. More mind blowing revelations about ghosts, imposter syndrome, luscious lady titties and accessory nipples, cheeky t-shirts, cute girls with clipboards, haunting our sofas, butt stuff, cenotaphs, bedazzling corpses and several other topics that may or may not be relevant to this episode.
