Show Notes
This episode is all about the Moon, Earth’s constant companion and the canvas for centuries of magic, myth and meaning.
Sarah shares paranormal tricks she’s been holding onto, Lisa explores the complex (and sometimes overstated) links between the Moon and witchcraft, and together they offer Magic for the Masses with a simple Blood Moon ritual for the full moon and lunar eclipse the night of this episode's release! 🌕

Lisa's tricks are running dangerously low, but fortunately Sarah has a plethora to share! From mysterious spider encounters that might just be messages from the universe, to magnificent Scottish mushrooms, and some very exciting news about a new familiar, Sarah's cup runneth over.
On this episode, Lisa and Sarah ask when self-empowerment becomes self-importance. They get into spiritual superiority, manifestation, main character syndrome, glamour magic, and what happens when the algorithm starts masquerading as an oracle.
