S5E7 - Animal Harm in Witchcraft

Send us Fan Mail Elyse & Leandra investigate the difficult topic and historical precedence of animal harm in witchcraft. We look at how modern witchcraft has changed the relationship witches have with energy, and discuss moral consequences of animal harm in light of recent conversations on social media. We also look at the usage of animals in magick in potentially more ethical ways, like feathers, found bones, or whiskers.
