S6 Ep8: Agrippa Who? Personal Occult Philosophy
This week, we take on armchair philosophers and discuss our own philosophies about magic. The best part about being witches is that we can have our own opinions, and everyone is right for themselves.

The nearest lunar phase to us comes on May 27th, which is the New Moon in Gemini.
Creatives we are loving this week are:
