Are We Witches...With Soulmates?

Are We Witches...With Soulmates?

In this episode of Are We Witches?, Lisa and Sarah buy soulmate readings and drawings from two Etsy psychics: Psychic Alda and ArtZenArtist. The results include tarot cards, astrology, numerology, (suspiciously) mysterious technology, and some disclaimers that gave these hosts the "ick". Join us as we compare the readings, inspect the drawings, and ask whether we've glimpsed our romantic destinies, or whether we've been had by a couple of charlatans. Visit our Instagram [http://www.instagram.com/arewewitches] page to see the results for yourself. -- Follow us on instagram at arewewitches [http://www.instagram.com/arewewitches] and write to us at arewewitches@gmail.com [arewewitches@gmail.com] Any problem you want a magical solution for, please write in for a bit of advice and a magical prescription. It's important we practice as much as possible to get our witchy credentials! We also want to hear how your spells are going, so please write in if you have practiced any magic mentioned in the show. We are new to this community and these practices. All advice, tips and feedback will be gratefully received. After all, it takes a village to raise a witch.

Are We Witches...Hexing?

Lisa is back in the land of the living, and Are We Witches? is finally back in the swing of things. This week, we dive into hexes, curses, and humanity’s long fascination with the idea that ritual alone can cause real harm. From the evil eye and bone-pointing traditions to “voodoo death” and the nocebo effect, we explore the strange intersection of fear, belief, psychology, and magic. We also unpack modern witchcraft beliefs around hexing, including the idea that hatred and destructive intent may ultimately harm the person sending it. We have a strict no-hexing policy at Are We Witches? …but we’re endlessly curious about it. Sources for Who, What, Witch, Where?: CANNON, W.B. (1942), “VOODOO” DEATH.

Are We Witches...Healing?

Look, it's been a rough patch for these witches, but they're back to talk about the (witch)craft of healing, from herbalism that turned into pharmacology, our friend the placebo effect, and the concepts of energy and remote healing. Lisa's tricks involve the return of a piano with a message of hope, Sarah's cycling adventures go awry, and the witches put a new twist on an old "mancy." -- Follow us on instagram at arewewitches [http://www.instagram.com/arewewitches] and write to us at arewewitches@gmail.com [arewewitches@gmail.com] Any problem you want a magical solution for, please write in for a bit of advice and a magical prescription.

What's Up, Witches? #5

Sarah and Lisa revisit some loose ends from previous episodes, including the controversial question of whether the full moon really affects human behaviour. Sarah's tricks involve possibly haunted toothbrushes, and Lisa recounts a recent pain in the neck. -- Follow us on instagram at arewewitches [http://www.instagram.com/arewewitches] and write to us at arewewitches@gmail.com [arewewitches@gmail.com] Any problem you want a magical solution for, please write in for a bit of advice and a magical prescription.

Tarot Vin-isode

In this Tarot Vin-isode from Are We Witches? the Empress is paired with Viognier (a controversial choice with our co-hosts) for a wine tasting and tarot love spread. Lisa is delighted to have a trick to share (at last!) and Sarah is happily blessed by an 11.
