Episode 12: Andrea's a Water Witch!

TW: Language One of the most fascinating things Sara learned about Andrea's family since they became friends is that she and her father are part of a long line of "Water Witches," people who are skilled at locating water sources using a special and mysterious technique called dowsing. We don't just call ourselves witches, we really are witches... and lucky you - dowsing class is now in session! Sara begged Andrea to teach her how to do it, and you guys get to learn about it too! Andrea is going to explain what dowsing and water witching are.  Andrea even interviewed her dad Jim about how he taught her the ancestral practice as a child. Andrea's ancestral line has the proven skills to teach us the right way to water witch, and learning to do it comes with a hilarious and surprising bonus. When Andrea was researching the history of water witching for this episode, she was surprised to learn that the first recorded supernaturally tinged water dowsing back leads back to another nun who later became a Saint - Saint Teresa of Avila.  We'll tell you all about the controversial "miracle" Saint Teresa witnessed! For part two of this conversation, we'll give you an update about Andrea's time in the hospital after surgery, and the high strangeness involved. If you found episode 11.5 interesting, you'll want to stick around for this episode too. While we both obviously knew that all of the strange things happening around Mother Joseph, Emilie Gamelin and Hidden bricks were authentic events as we were living them every day, this one really had us both questioning the very nature of... well, everything. We have no idea what any of this actually means, but we're all in and going to tell you about it and all about our MEGA ROSARIES anyway. Full show notes here! Thanks for listening!
