    What are the differences between practicing in a tradition versus being an eclectic, solitary practitioner? Is one better than the other? What are the pros and cons of each? Are they mutually exclusive? What is Wednesday's favorite spooky movie?

    Episode 13 - August 12 Solar Eclipse - In which we discuss the upcoming total solar eclipse as well as our experience at Mystic South 2026
    2026/08/01

    In this episode, we talk about the total solar eclipse happening in Greenland, Iceland, the Atlantic, and parts of Europe on August 12, as well as ideas for what types of workings to do and not do. We discuss this year's Mystic South conference in Atlanta, Lammas workshops at WSTS, and whether firing a shotgun at the eclipse out of fear is a worthwhile thing to do. It kind of all falls apart in the end as usual.


    We recorded this one in the early evening, so enjoy the cricket sounds throughout.

    If you have ever asked yourself:

    • What do I do with a wand anyway?

    • Are wands associated with air or fire? Why can’t we agree?

    • Where can I get a wand? Do I need to go to Olivander’s? Will my wand choose me? Can I zap Draco Malfoy with it? Where do I get a phoenix feather?

    • I want to make my own wand. How do I do that?

    • Hey! There are wands on my tarot cards! What’s that about?

    • Do I need a wand? I have an athame already - how many pointy things do I need?

    then this episode is for you!

    In addition to our discussion of Litha, we fangirl over Josh Gates and all the current delicious summer vibes. There are various rambles about Nicholas Cage movies, how S’mores are sticky, how important vultures are to the environment, how to harvest dandelions for dandelion tea, and weird squirrels. There is also a brief rant about Bermuda grass … because summer!


    Please excuse some of the background noise in this episode. It’s moving into summer and we are both running our air conditioners!
