Ep902 – "Cheese Alchemy"
Fermentation, kitchen witchcraft & the magic of dairy

This week, Emily and Kate are joined by very special guests Mateo Kehler and Sam Rheaume of Jasper Hill Farm to dive deeper into their gorgeous zine all about the deliciously magickal world of cheese alchemy, from ancient fermentation practices to why turning milk into brie is basically kitchen witchcraft. Together we dive into the mystical side of food, the rituals we perform without even noticing, and the fine line between science and sorcery when it comes to culturing, aging, and flavoring. We also touch on the joy of "everyday magick" and how working with food can ground us in both humor and ritual. To close, Sam pulls a card from his Woodland Wardens deck with a message to carry into the week ahead. Mmm cheese + magick: the perfect pair! ✨ Follow @witchcastpodcast for more extras! Hex yeah!
