Pagan Community Building (…or is the Druid secretly starting a cult?)

This week on Three Witches and a Druid, the gang kicks things off in their now-iconic meeting spot: our wise Druid’s backyard—home to birdsong, dappled sunlight, and a feral patch of Japanese knotweed that might just be plotting world domination. Annoying? Yes. Edible? Also yes. Turns out, in a post-apocalyptic snack emergency, we might all be chewing knotweed and pretending it's kale.

From there, things take a deliciously unhinged turn as the hosts dive into one of their favourite long-running fantasies: building the ultimate pagan community. We’re talking full-on witchy commune energy—sacred fires, gardens overflowing with herbs, shared meals, moon rituals, maybe a goat or 7… the works. And of course, chaos ensues in the best way.

They dish on everything from apocalypse gardening tips to the logistics of communal living, throw shade at zoning laws, and even casually mention the Diefenbunker because why wouldn’t you want your coven to have a Cold War-era hideout?

Expect:

🌿 Big ideas, bigger laughs

🏕️ Pagan utopia planning (with zero HOA drama)

😂 Debates about goat ownership and composting toilets

🏡 The dream of shared pagan housing and land stewardship💬 And a very important question: how do you define a cult?

🥴 The slippery slope from “earth-centred commune” to “oops, now we’re on a watchlist”This episode is for every witch, druid, or magical misfit who’s ever looked around at late-stage capitalism and thought, “You know what? I’d rather live in the woods with my weird friends and make jam.”

CALL TO ACTION:

Got a fantasy commune layout on your Pinterest board? Secretly Googled “buy an island with my coven”? Slide into our DMs or send a message on FB and spill the tea. The hosts want to hear your wildest (or most practical) visions for a real-life pagan community.

Blessed be and beware the backyard jungle,
– The Three Witches and a Druid

The Wheel turns again, and the witches are outdoors, which can only mean one thing: Litha has arrived!

In this delightfully sun-soaked episode, the Three Witches— Maeve, Margo, and Gwen — drag their lawn chairs into Druid Brian’s backyard to soak up the solstice (and maybe a bit of wine) all while diving deep into the longest day of the year.

Surrounded by the scent of wildflowers, the hum of bees, and perhaps... just a whisper of fae mischief in the breeze.

In this episode, the gang is asking some real questions.

What happens in lands where sunlight barely kisses the earth or refuses to sleep at all? Do the sabbats take on new shapes in those corners of the world?

The conversation weaves through myth and mystery as they explore how place and practice intertwine. From the age-old tale of the Holly King and the Oak King, to delicious summer offerings and rituals soaked in sunlight and strawberry juice.

And yes… Brian may or may not call out the gang for sounding like “four old white folks complaining about the weather.” He’s not wrong but let’s be real, Canadian solstice can mean anything from sunburns to frozen cloaks.

Here’s what we’re conjuring up this week:

🌀 The Sun Stands Still – What actually happens on solstice (besides us dramatically lying in the grass like woodland nymphs)?

🌍 Global Witch Problems – How do you do a solstice ritual when the sun never sets… or never shows up?

🔥 Fire, Feast, and Frolicking – Summer solstice traditions from bonfires to berry pies to naked forest dancing (don’t ask who did what).

🌲 The Holly King vs. The Oak King – The ultimate seasonal face-off. Who’s hot right now? Spoiler: It’s not the one with the fur cloak.

With laughter, lore, and a little leafy chaos, this episode is a sun-drenched spell of celebration. Whether you're crafting flower crowns, lighting a fire, or whispering wishes into the wind, this one will spark your solstice spirit.

🔮🌿 So light a candle, pour a glass of something golden, and join us as we welcome the Oak King's rise and the lush magic of summer.

To catch updates, rituals, memes, and more woodland mayhem.

Blessed Litha, witches. Let’s get sun-drunk and spellbound.

In this cozy-chaotic catch-up episode, the witches are back around the ole coffee table with stories, laughter, and a sprinkle of new magic! First up, Mauve shares her enchanting new adventure:

Have Cauldron, Will Travel — a roving ritual roadshow bringing sabbats and community magic to witches across Nova Scotia. Think: pop-up circles, moonlit gatherings, and a sabbath rituals with serious main character energy. All aligned with engaging the magical community all across the province and maybe farther to help out where needed.

But the real heart of this episode?

A deep, soul-stirring (and occasionally giggle-filled) discussion about our next big project: A community-crafted Pagan Book of Prayers.

We're dreaming of a beautiful, ever-growing collection of words woven with intention and magic — a book you can turn to when you need grounding, guidance, or a goddess-powered pep talk.

Morning offerings, evening gratitude's, prayers to the Moon, charms for strength, rites of passage, seasonal invocations, or those little whispered wishes you say when lighting a candle — we want them all.

This isn't about perfection or high poetry (though we love both). It's about authenticity. About creating something sacred and accessible. About capturing the beating heart of modern pagan practice, one prayer at a time.

✨ We’re officially putting out a call to action:

Send us your original prayers, chants, blessings, rituals, and witchy words. Whether it's for Samhain or sunrise, grief or joy, big life shifts or daily devotion — your voice belongs in this.

So grab your quills, typewriters, or enchanted iPhones — and let’s co-create something powerful, personal, and oh-so-magical.

Blessed be, and happy listening. 💜🔥📖
