We wanted to talk to a Freemason (or in this case Mason), but we got so much more than that! We spoke to Scorpio's mom, Pisces, just in time for this Pisces full moon, and while she couldn't tell us any of the Masonic secrets, she gave a glimpse into how Masonry, Espiritismo and religion blended together to create something magical.

An Interview with Scorpio's Mom

Happy New Moon, New Book! "September came in swinging" as Gemini says towards the end of this episode, as our academic witches tackle Payam Nabarz's The Square and The Circle: The Influences of Freemasonry on Wicca and Paganism and learn a lot more about Freemasonry than they expected to! 

Payam Nabarz, A Freemason In Time

Want to learn about small water? Or maybe you want to talk about East of Eden by John Steinbeck? No? Don't worry, this episode is also packed with actionable magic for your new beginning needs! Back to school, both for academics and for college students? Check! New job? Check! New apartment or home? Check, check, check! But there is also small water and East of Eden, we promise it makes sense :)

New Beginnings and Back to School

Happy New Moon, New Book for this Leo New Moon! Scorpio heard a rumor that Alice Hoffman's Book of Magic was going to made into a movie sequel to Practical Magic (the first of the Hoffman books in this series), so we had to read it and see what we thought the movie would be like. Yes there are spoilers for the book, but Gemini demanded some things be kept secret because they absolutely Blew. Her. Mind! Read it already? Let us know how you think they'll adapt it to film!

Alice Hoffman, Writing About Witches in Time

Happy Capricorn Full Moon witches and welcome to a summer version of our spell bag episode! We loved this in previous years and wanted to bring it back with a twist - only using items we already had in our homes. What did Gemini and Scorpio give each other? How will they use them? What are Gemini's reflections about overconsumption and the nature of play? You know what to do ;)

Summer Spell Bags

If you remember seeing a bunch of tiktoks about the Shadow Work Journal by Keila Shaheen, probably a year to a year and a half ago, you're in luck! We were a little caught up in the hype and had to inspect the text for ourselves. You might not consider it a light, summer reading book, but Scorpio is here to convince you that it actually is! 

The Shadow Work Journal, a WitchTok In Time

Happy Summer Solstice witches! To cap off Gemini season, our hosts chat about Gemini's Hellenismos journey and how it's changed over the years. 

Gemini Season Hellenismos Update!

Happy New Moon New Book and Happy Gemini month! Our hosts discuss Jamie Waggoner's Hades: Myth, Magic and Devotion. It won't be the episode you expect, but it is the episode you need! 

Jamie Waggoner, A Witch In Time

What's up witches and happy Sagittarius Full Moon! Feels fitting to be talking about protection during a Sag moon, especially when our hosts chat about the intersection of protection and technology. We knew we had to revisit protection after reading The Evil Eye, so if you liked May's previous episode, you're primed and ready for this one!

Protection Two: Electric Boogaloo

Ever wondered about the Evil Eye? Did you grow up with a family superstition or feel like its a silly old wives tale? Gemini and Scorpio dive into The Evil Eye: The History, Mystery and Magic of the Quiet Curse by Antonio Pagliarulo, the Italian Witch, and learn a lot! 

Antonio Pagliarulo, A Witch In Time

You know her, you love her, welcome back Monica Bodirsky! Not only do our three hosts discuss Monica's new Awakening Tarot (tl;dl: buy it, we love it!), but she teases ANOTHER NEW DECK, as well as so many cool things you just have to tune in to hear them all. Come for the tarot, stay for spiritual therapy. 

The Awakening Tarot with Monica Bodirsky

"Talk about a witch in time[!]" For this intense eclipse episode, Scorpio and Gemini talk about the power of personal narrative and the importance of self-confidence while discussing Sybil Leek's Diary of a Witch. If you want Scorpio to write a memoir and/or want to know Gemini's opinion on eclipses, this is episode for you!

Sybil Leek, A Witch In Time

Happy Libra Full Moon (and start of eclipse season 2024)! Join our hosts as they discuss the Divine Feminine in their traditions, inspired by last episode's book, Orishas, Goddess and Voodoo Queens, by Lilith Dorsey.

The Divine Feminine

For the Pisces New Moon, Scorpio and Gemini discuss Orishas, Goddesses, and Voodoo Queens: The Divine Feminine in the African Religious Traditions by Lilith Dorsey. Full of stories and essential info about the feminine entities, spirits, deities and ancestors of African Traditional Religions, this book is an important read, prompting important conversations (and some Scorpio lore for the dedicated listener!)

Orishas, Goddesses and Voodoo Queens

In the spirit of Marion Gibson's Witchcraft (our last episode, if you haven't heard it!), today our hosts talk about Scorpio's Espiritismo - what is it, what was it like to be raised in a spiritual practice and what Scorpio wants you to know about the Espiritismo that she grew up with. This episode isn't a How To Guide, but instead a journey through Scorpio's personal history, or at least as much as any scorpio is willing to share. 

Scorpio's Espiritismo

Two academic witches in the Lower Hudson Valley, focused on learning the history, development and paradigms of modern-day witchcraft. Follow us on instagram @witchspaceco or email us at witchspaceco@gmail.com.
