In this week’s episode, Lindsay turns the wheel of the year to an underrated witchy holiday: Mabon aka the Fall Equinox. As the Kendall Jackson is poured, the ladies write essays on The Godfather, swear that music is magic, and try to start their own secret society. So grab your favorite zinfandel and get cozy on your wine bench, Ladies Who Live By the Seasons will have you prepping for Mabon in no time.

Do you have a ghost story, local lore, or urban legend you would like to share with the ladies? Email us at LadiesWhoLorePod@gmail.com.
