Cone&Candle

What is folk magic and how is it still present in our lives?From healing herbs and spells to saucy love spells with questionable ingredients, and we take a look at some mandrake myths. this episode is a bit cheeky and maybe not for our youngest listeners.

We are delighted to explore the magic of words and poetry with our beloved dr. Phyllis Koehler. not only do we talk about words rhythm and cadence, but also about the magic that words carry and what they have meant in Phyllis her journey. as cherry on top she shares some of her works that have left us gasping and maybe a bit horny.Enjoy!

We are fan-girling a bit today as we are talking to the great Catherine Starr. She is phenominal with Tarot and has lifted it from its 2d form into real flesh and blood. Catherine takes us on a journey through her magical life and has us spellbound.

What is it that a witch needs other than a good sense of humour?Stella and Marjolein go through a bunch of the tools that a witch can have in his or her arsenal. Hop on your broom and join is in this conversation!

We sat down with our beloved high priest to talk about the workings of the mind and the descend into magical madness. Ketil talks about his own magical journey, to where we need to drive our mind and some techniques around meditation and trance work.

A little edgy one. We talk about symbols and in particular those who got a bad rep in history. so this might not be an episode for everyone, but we wanted to share the story in it never the less. Stella shares her tantalizing story about how she met Man Woman, a strong healer that was completely tattooed in offensive symbolism and how he completely changed her mind.enjoy!

We dive into the forms of divination. from tarot to rune to magic cheese and cats on keyboards. Marjolein reads tarot for Stella and we talk through many forms of divination and some health and safety around crystal orbs. We had a blast making this episode.

Today we will interview our first guest! Helene has been kindly indulging our questions around her journey towards the divine and how she incorporates this in to her music.

At the core of Wicca lies the 8 sabbaths of the year, also know as the wheel of the year. Why are these days so important to us? What do the moon and the sun have to do with it? Join us to hear how we see and experience this foundational structure of modern day witchcraft.

Why is being called a witch a bad thing? OR is it something to wear like a badge? In this episode we talk about the stigmas around being or calling yourself a witch. How society still has a set image about witches and how they are portrayed in pop-culture.
