Episode 85: Samhain: The Witches’ New Year

Two Witches Talking

Show Notes

We hit 50,000 downloads, so naturally we’re kicking things off with a little victory lap. Thank you, you gorgeous witches. You’re the reason we get to keep doing this. Then we get into it: Samhain, the witches’ new year. Megan and Morgan each share how they actually observe the season, and spoiler alert, it’s perfectly simple for busy witches! Morgan treats Samhain as her personal year in review, looking back at how far she’s come since last Samhain and setting intentions for what’s next. Megan keeps Samhain for honoring the dead, the spirit realm, and some Persephone-guided shadow work. The conversation shows you that you can make your Samhain observances your own! What We Talk About The origins of the jack-o’-lantern and how Samhain and Halloween customs overlap.

Scrying 101: dark mirrors, obsidian, and large crystal points.

Divination tea to help you open up to the spirit world (always do your research before consuming herbs - they can be dangerous for pregnant people or can interact with your prescriptions!)

Stones for protection and the season.

Food for the feast.

Grab your flashlight and your skepticism (or don’t, we’re not your mom). This week your favorite witchy aunts wander into cryptid country, from the misty forests of Northern California to a riverbank in Ohio where something with a frog face may or may not have stood up and looked at people.

Grab a mug of something warm and pull up a chair, because we're in the kitchen this week. Megan and Morgan dig into fall kitchen magick, otherwise known as the art of making dinner and casting a spell at the same time, because who has time to do those separately?

The Owens sisters are back, and so are your witchy aunts. Megan and Morgan sat down to discuss Practical Magic 2, and yes, they have opinions. Lots of them.

Somebody living rent-free in your energy field? Megan and Morgan are grabbing the metaphysical scissors.
