“Where Did That Wand Come From?” – Ethical Sourcing in Modern Pagan Practice

This week, your favourite coven of conversationalists—Margo, Maeve, Gwen, and Brian—gather 'round the mic to stir the cauldron on a vital topic in today’s magical landscape: Ethical sourcing.

Have you ever stopped to wonder where your cloak came from? That gorgeous crystal on your altar? That intricately carved wand that showed up two days after a Temu impulse-buy binge?

Sure, your altar looks fabulous… but do you know where that wand came from?
Was your cloak stitched with care, - or churned out by a fast-fashion goblin via "fast fashion" express?
And let’s not even start on those suspiciously cheap amethyst towers...

✨ In this episode, we ask the hard questions:

• Can a tool hold power if it was made under exploitative conditions?
• Why do so many of us hold our magical tools to higher sourcing standards than the smartphones in our pockets?
• Is energy affected by intention alone, or does the origin of an item matter?
• Can thrifted finds and antique market treasures hold new life in our practice if they’re cleansed and consecrated properly?
• Will your ritual fall flat if your cauldron was ... um, “liberated” from grandma’s attic without permission?

We also deep-dive into witchy thrifting, DIY, and the powerful magic in homemade tools—all while exploring the ethical and energetic implications of the items we bring into our sacred spaces.

So grab your ethically-sourced tea, light that responsibly-harvested sage (or maybe reach for rosemary instead? ), and join us for a lively chat that’s equal parts thought-provoking and enchantingly practical.

💬 Got thoughts or stories about your own ethically-sourced (or not-so-ethical) magical tools? Drop us a message on Instagram or wherever you listen—we’d love to hear from you!

The cauldron is bubbling, the conversation is flowing, and the peach cider is definitely enchanted. Join Maeve, Margo, Gwen (your resident witches), and Brian (our wise druid) as they gather once more around their famously magical coffee table to explore the wild, wonderful world of women in paganism.

This week’s episode is a deep as our favourite hosts take a wild ride through the thickets of women in paganism—.

From the early days of feminist witchcraft to today’s more gender-inclusive circles, we explore the energy that draws people into the Craft. Is it the divine feminine? The call of the wild? Or maybe just the aesthetic?

(Let’s be honest—flowy robes and candles are a crowd pleaser... )

🔥 Topics stirred in the cauldron include:

• Was modern paganism built on the backs of the women’s power movement?
• Why so many women feel called to the Craft (and why the cauldron’s now bubbling with more masculine energy too!)
• Is the spiritual pull about energy, archetypes, or just damn good incense?
• The evolution of gender roles in pagan spaces—divine feminine, sacred masculine, and everything in between.

🕯️ And because no good witchy chat exists in a vacuum, we touch on how gender roles and divine archetypes are handled in other religions too—from Christianity to Eastern philosophies, and everything in between.

Expect a few cackles, a couple of side-eyes at patriarchy, and—of course—a spirited conversation about how the lines between gender, power, and spirituality are being redrawn with every solstice, full moon, and drum circle.

So, whether you walk with wolves, dance with Dionysus, or just really like herbs and candles—this one’s for the wild in all of us. 🖤🌕

✨ Pour a cup of something strong and hit play, witches. The coven is in session.

This week, it’s Margo, Gwen, Maeve, and Brian— yes, the usual suspects— gathered ‘round our well-loved, wax-stained, definitely-seen-some-things coffee table.

We’ve got candles burning, notebooks open, and a tasty little black cherry cider from BC on the side (because we’re fancy like that).

But tonight’s topic? Oh, just a little something light and breezy like... Paganism and Clergy.
Yep—we’re going there.Paganism and Clergy.

Let’s be real: it’s not something you hear about every day in the wider world, but in our communities, it’s a conversation that’s long overdue.

We’re asking the big stuff:

🕯️ What is "clergy" , Pagan-style?
🕯️ Do we need it, or are we all just DIY priests and priestesses anyway?
🕯️ Who gets to say they’re clergy, and is there a secret Pagan paperwork club no one told us about?
🕯️ Most importantly, what does this look like in practice? From hospital visits and end-of-life care to handfastings and community rituals… does having a go-to spiritual person make a difference?

We’re getting into it with all the honesty, sass, and side-eye you’d expect. No gatekeeping, no fluff—just a real convo about leadership, service, and support in our modern Pagan lives.

✨ CALL TO ACTION: Okay, your turn.
Have you ever worked with clergy in a Pagan context, or been one? Do you think formal roles help or hurt the path? Got a spicy take on who gets to call themselves a High Priestess?
We wanna hear it!
