Join River and Rowan, two queer witches, as they discuss movies, TV shows, music, and podcasts that inspire their craft and communities.

This episode mixes thoughtful criticism, playful banter, and personal recommendations for spooky-season viewing and listening, and invites listeners to share their own witchy media picks.

Two queer witches, River and Rowan, discuss practical approaches to manifestation as they transition into fall—covering tools like manifestation boxes, burning herbs and incense, affirmations, crystals, and everyday DIY items. They emphasize that manifestation requires action and share personal goals, including gardening, master gardener training, poetry, and family planning. The episode blends cozy conversation, crafty projects, and grounded advice for turning intentions into tangible results.

In this episode River and Rowan openly process leaving their coven, share how the change affects their practice and friendships, and explore what their paths look like going forward. They talk about maintaining community across distance, preparing a full moon ritual, and embracing both the grief and the possibilities of a new witchy normal.

River and Rowan, two queer witches, explore personal protection and boundaries—how to listen to your inner voice, recognize energy drains, and set practical limits in both magical and mundane life. They share accessible tools and rituals you can adapt: visualization and shielding, crystals and herbs, sound clearing, working with land spirits, and portable methods that won’t break the bank. Takeaway: make protection personal, respectful, and routine—use what feels right, ask permission of the land, and turn shielding into a simple daily practice.
