Lammas (or Lughnasadh depending on your preference) is either a celebration of the first harvest of the absolute height of summer. In early August, the days remain long, but the first stirrings of the harvest surround us. It's a time to celebrate community, bread, food, trees, and perhaps a summer cocktail.

In this episode of the podcast Jason shares his favorite Lammas (and Lammas adjacent) books for this time of year.  

It's the final episode of 2021, where we discuss goals for the new year, the history of calendars, and The Great Wheel of Wicca.

For our last Witchy episode of 2021, we decided to do a more organic format of the show like we do in our patron-exclusive Cauldron-side Chats. Today we're talking about our favorite nonfictional characters, both in books and on the screen, and what their zodiac signs would be, as well as playing a guessing game of the birth charts of some of our favorite celebrities. Listen to Laura get pretty much everything spot on and Maria, well, just trying her best. Bonus, we talk about what kinds of witches we think our partners would be and what kind of cryptids we would be ourselves!

Please note we are taking a small winter break with our last episode of 2021 releasing December 15th, and we will back up with episodes January 12th!

From The Archives: Archived episodes feature content we recorded on another platform in a slightly different format.

Winter solstice, the longest night, Yule, Christmas - So many celebrations at this time of year. What's a witch to do? 

Phoenix and Gwion, The Witches Next Door, recount favourite solstice rituals, spells, and practices connected to this time of year.

Cheer or Fear? Our spooky episode is here! The witches are talking gift wrap, surprise packages, and things both eerie and Christmas-y. Maria covers the grisly Lawson Family Massacre, and Laura covers several Germanic and Scandinavian Christmas folklore and cryptids (unpopular opinion: we think Krampus is a hottie)! Would you judge this episode as impish or admirable? Listen and find out!

Samhain and Halloween are just around the corner, and we are so stoked to get into the history of Samhain, how it gave birth to Halloween, and how you can celebrate this Sabbat in your witchy practice! Plus, Maria shares a blood-curdling TikTok video, we talk about our upcoming Halloween costumes, and we learn that Teletubbies have been part of Samhain this whole time! Samhain Blessings, witches!

The Autumn Equinox is right around the corner! Mabon, otherwise known as Haustblot, is a Sabbat celebration that goes waaayy back. So we're walking you through the history, meaning, and ways you can adorn your altar and prepare for the festivities! Also tune in to hear about Maria's releasing ritual, the story of how Laura and Maria met, and a delicious cornbread casserole recipe you gotta try!

Its Litha. Go!
Join us for our Midsummer episode! We talk the traditional and muse on the modern. Charlye gets historical, she shares tales of The Sun God, forgiveness, and the Fae. Macy gives us the low down on how to celebrate this day on a budget, and a pretty spot on Rap God verse.

Join us this Litha for some Hay Stew and Chicken Milk, Fried Green Tomatoes, and really awesome Road to El Dorado covers.

The witches are also honored to announce the very first WBAH charity fundraiser! Join us in giving to Operation Honey Bee - and help save the bees!
