The Danger of Cults (and the Fiddle Leaf Fig)

TRIGGER WARNING: In this week’s episode, Shannon and Nick discuss cults, religious trauma, and other subjects that might be triggering for some listeners. Please take care of yourself. Join Shannon and Nick for a dive into the murky waters of CULTS! Don’t worry though, they don’t expect you to have twenty folding chairs available at any time (an actual requirement from one of the aforementioned cults), but you will hear Nick report on the experiences of a close friend who was in a cult for a time. They have a long talk about TERFs in the witch community (something that Wands and Fronds vehemently opposes), and specifically discuss the very public and very awful comments made by the founder of Dianic Wicca. On the lighter side of things, Shannon covers a plant with a CULT FOLLOWING (get it?), the Fiddle Leaf Fig. She also accidentally offends wandering Greek poets (again, big apologies), and shares a ritual to help you heal from religious trauma syndrome. To get in touch with these witches to share rubies, invitations to Atlantis, suggestions for Nick’s north-facing balcony, or to just let Shannon have it for her careless comments aimed at the wandering poet community, you can email [email protected] or message them on Instagram @WandsandFrondsPod.
