Episode 264 - Modron: Meeting the Celtic Mother Goddess with Kelle BanDea
In the flow of healing waters and the urgent cry of the Earth, we hear the voice of the Celtic mother goddess Modron, also known as Matrona. A goddess of fertility, abundance and healing, but also of grief and loss and ancestral wisdom, she is still present, although hidden, in today's world. We find her myths in the tales of the Mabinogi, the Welsh Triads and modern tales of Avalon, and her image and veneration in the ancient religions of Celtic Gaul, where she first emerged as a river goddess.We can trace echoes of her in ancient Indo-European texts and possibly even further back to the agricultural myths of the Neolithic. She is even present in the stars. Modron - Meeting the Celtic Mother Goddess takes a deep dive into this often overlooked goddess who has inspired our modern myths, combining solid academic research with suggestions for personal practice and ritual, from a modern day dedicant and scholar of Goddess veneration. Modron is emerging from the depths. Will you answer her Call?Substack: https://kellebandea.substack.comX: https://x.com/DeaKelleFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100050923191257Kelle is a naturalistic pagan and greenwitch of Roma/Traveller heritage.

Episode 263 - The Night House with Danielle Dulsky
Welcoming back Danielle today for a conversation about fairy tales as living, breathing repositories of ancient wisdom and magick. In The Night House: Folklore, Fairy Tales, Rites, and Magick for the Wise and Wild, bestselling author and word-witch Danielle Dulsky peels back the layers of these timeless narratives to reveal their potent role as guides for navigating today’s world. Rich with insight and a deep reverence for the ancestral art of storytelling, Dulsky’s latest work reclaims the hidden power of fairy tales as spell books, treasure chests, and sacred rites.Historically kept and transmitted by women, fairy tales are distinguishable from other types of folk tales for their magickal and supernatural elements, and because of this, they were often dismissed as trivial domestic fantasies for women and children. The Night House illuminates how this marginalization kept these stories safe from the witch-hunter’s noose and allowed women to safely store and transmit their ancient and sacred wisdom. Each of The Night House’s nine chapters is a door to an otherworldly realm, unveiling the spiritual and practical magick embedded in tales like “Little Red Riding Hood “and “Cinderella.” By decoding their “glamour spells” and ancestral rites, Dulksy offers a path for readers to reconnect with the Earth, their ancestors, and their own spirits. Mythic images and Jungian universal archetypes arise, and “old ways” are made visible, revealing the call to continue the medicinal work of story keeping for the modern world. Find Danielle: The Night House: https://amzn.to/3R7NuP3Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wolfwomanwitchWebsite: DanielleDulsky.ComDanielle Dulsky is the author of The Night House and numerous other titles including Woman Most Wild, The Holy Wild Grimoire, and Bones & Honey. A heathen visionary, painter, poet, storyteller, and word-witch, she teaches internationally and has facilitated circles, embodiment trainings, communal spell work, and seasonal rituals since 2007. She is the founder of The Hag School and believes in the emerging power of wild collectives and sudden circles of curious dreamers, cunning witches, and rebellious artists in healing our ailing world.

Episode 258 - Magical AI Grimoire with Davezilla
Today I'm chatting with Davezilla about tech, the internet/apps, AI, and their place in witchcraft.Magical AI Grimoire helps you to understand how to work with technology in the practice of your magic. Whether you’re trying to use promptcraft to perfect a spell, ChatGPT to outline and strengthen a ritual, or Midjourney AI to recreate what you’ve only seen on the astral plane, Davezilla will be your guide. AI apps can write spells, tell you how to perform them, and give you a list of materials needed. AI learns and adapts to you, and likewise as you transform, so transforms your AI. It’s symbiosis on a chaos magic level. Witches and magicians have been using computers to organize sabbats and ceremonies for years. Astrology apps were some of the first applications written, and in most covens, it’s a good bet that at least one of the members works with computers. All across the globe, witches and magicians are finding that technology can have a spiritual essence and mind of its own or, rather, that the spirit world enjoys playing with tech as much as we do. The internet could be one more astral plane, for all we know. Davezilla provides context and history for the evolving uses of AI—from Alexa to Spotify to ChatGPT and beyond—and leads the reader through a new magical realm with responsibility and clarity of insight.Find Davezilla:Website: https://hexsupport.club Book: Magical AI Grimoire (Weiser Books) Tarot Deck: Tarot of the Unexplained (Weiser Books)Davezilla is a longtime member of the Detroit pagan community, with over forty years of experience in occult/new age religions.

Chatting today about so many topics with author Raven Digitalis, including navigating the world as an empath and his latest work of fiction, Black Magick.Darkness is interpretive. It’s in our nature to explore the shadows. Through the 13 stories presented in Black Magick, the reader is transported into mysterious settings that blur the line between fiction and reality.
