Show Notes
In this episode, The Anonymous Witch takes us deep into the world of fairies, folklore, and the stories that have survived for generations whispered beside fires, hidden in forests, and carried through old traditions. But this is not the overly-sanitised version of fairies social media often gives you. This episode explores the older folklore. The cautionary tales. The strange beauty and complexity of fairy belief across history. From the origins of fairy lore to the way our ancestors viewed these beings with both respect and caution, Anonymous Witch opens the door to a side of folklore that is fascinating, eerie, and deeply rooted in the land itself. We talk about: 🖤 The historical roots of fairy folklore 🌿 How different cultures viewed the fae 🕯 Why fairies were once deeply respected and feared ✨ The difference between modern fairy aesthetics and traditional lore 🌲 The connection between spirits, land, and old stories If you love folklore, history, old magic, and the quieter corners of witchcraft, this episode is going to pull you straight in. And honestly… we may need Anonymous Witch to come back for a part two 👀 So if you want a future episode on HOW to safely and respectfully begin connecting with fairy energy and folklore traditions… Drop a comment below and let her know ✨ 🎧 Words From The Witches Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & Amazon Music.
More from Between 3 Witches - Witchcraft in plain sight
This week, Wheelie and Anon host a conversation about the things witches spend far too much time on, and whether all that effort actually adds anything to our practice. 👀✨
Season three is here, and we’re beginning right at the beginning with Witchcraft 101! In our first episode of the new season, we’re joined by the wonderful Emma Griffin for an honest, accessible and wonderfully witchy conversation about finding your way into the craft. We explore what witchcraft actually is, where a beginner can start, the pressure to choose a label or path and some of the misconceptions that can make the craft feel far more complicated than it needs to be. Whether you’re completely new to witchcraft, still discovering what your practice looks like or simply fancy returning to the foundations, this episode is a reminder that there is no single “correct” way to be a witch. Expect different perspectives, plenty of practical guidance and the usual Between Three Witches chaos along the way. Make yourself something warm, get comfortable and join us as we welcome Emma and officially begin Season Three of Between Three Witches. 🎙️ Follow the podcast and turn on notifications so you don’t miss the rest of the season. 🌙 Find Gayle, Vikkie and ANON on all the social media platforms ✨ Find Emma: https://www.emmagriffinwitch.co.uk
For our final guest episode of the month, we invited EarthFairy Holistics and Nevermore Aries to join us... which meant FIVE of us around the virtual table. And yes. It went exactly as you’d imagine. 😂 This episode is less about perfectly packaged spirituality and much more about what it actually looks like when five very different spiritual people get together and start talking. We chat about our practices, experiences, beliefs, the things we agree on, the things we definitely don’t, and inevitably disappear down a few completely unexpected rabbit holes along the way. It’s funny, unfiltered, occasionally chaotic and very much Between Three Witches. Grab a cuppa, settle in and come join the conversation. 🎙️ Between Three Witches Featuring EarthFairy Holistics & Nevermore Aries Listen now on Spotify. 🌙
BROOMS, BESOMS & HOME PROTECTION 🧹 In this episode, Vikkie, The Wheelie Green Witch, sweeps us into the fascinating history and magic of the witch’s broom. But the broom has always been far more than a way for witches to fly in stories. From traditional besoms and old household folklore to cleansing rituals and protecting the threshold, Vikkie explores how this everyday tool became such a powerful symbol of witchcraft. We talk about: 🧹 The history and folklore of the witch’s broom 🌿 The difference between a broom and a traditional besom 🕯 Using sweeping as an energetic cleansing practice 🚪 Protecting doors, thresholds and the home ✨ How the direction and position of a broom can carry meaning 🏠 Simple home-protection practices you can try for yourself If you love practical magic, household folklore and discovering the witchcraft hidden within ordinary objects, this episode is for you. And we want to know: do you keep a broom or besom in your home, and is it decorative, practical or magical?

Dreamwork, Hedge Walking & Astral Travel What happens when we close our eyes—and where does the witch go when consciousness begins to wander? In this episode of Between Three Witches, we explore dreams, hedge walking and astral travel through the experiences of both newer and more established practitioners. We discuss the differences between vivid dreams, lucid dreaming, spirit-led experiences, hedge crossing and deliberate astral travel—as well as the difficulty of knowing whether you have travelled somewhere, received a message or simply had a particularly powerful dream. How does a newer witch begin exploring these practices safely? What changes when journeying becomes a familiar part of your path? And do experienced witches always have more control—or have they simply become more comfortable with uncertainty? We share how these practices can feel in real life, from accidental experiences and dream symbolism to intentional journeying, protection, grounding and returning fully to the body. There is no single way to cross the hedge and no test you must pass before your experience becomes valid. Sometimes the practice begins with something as simple as remembering your dreams and learning to recognise the places, beings and patterns that return. Join us as we explore what might be waiting beyond ordinary awareness—and why the journey can look very different depending on where you are on your witchcraft path. Tell us in the comments: have you ever visited a place in a dream that felt more real than dreaming?
