🌙✨ Three Witches and a Druid – Festival Fires & Handfasting Knots ✨🌙

This week’s episode is double the magic and packed with stories, laughter, and a seriously anticipated bonus conversation you won’t want to miss.

In Part One :

We have 2 witches and one druid as Margo, Gwen, and Brian gathered ‘round the ole podcast coffee / meade stained table to recap the whirlwind summer festivals: We’re spilling all the dirt (literally) on the summer festivals: AEPG and the first ever Mother, Maiden, Crone Festival. BOTH held on the brand spankin’ new land bought for PANS (Pagan Association of Nova Scotia). The gang chats about the wins, the chaos, and the “oh gods, never again” moments, plus what’s brewing for next year.

(Hint: fundraising, fundraising, fundraising!)

Then… part two. The juicy bit. :

Stick around for Part Two, because we’ve got a must-hear interview with our friend and druid, Karen. Fresh from performing her very first handfasting ceremony! ( woohoo go Karen! )

And no, it's not your average cookie-cutter “tie the knot” ...

Topics covered:

💍 What even is a handfasting anyway?

🪢 Karen’s behind-the-scenes journey : Research, rituals, tying the right knot at the right time, and the “oops” moments that made it unforgettable.

✨ Finding those little sparks of magic that make the ceremony actually feel alive.

🎨 Creative cords, deity-honoring practices, and tailoring ceremonies to the couple’s spirit.

❓ And the spicy convo: is knot-tying or cord-wrapping “appropriation” for non-pagans? Or simply a beautiful spark of shared creativity?

Basically: festivals, fundraising, fires ( OH MY ) and a deep dive into the magic of saying “I do” (with knots). This episode is festival fire, wedding wonder, and practical magic all wrapped up in one.

🎧 Listen now, and maybe start planning your own fundraising spell—or your dream handfasting cords.
