As the year dies and the longest night creeps in (yes, we are past the solstice, but it took a bit to edit this one), we’re turning our attention to one of folklore’s most enduring, misunderstood, and deeply unbothered figures: the Hag.

In this episode, we wade into swamps, crossroads, and liminal spaces to explore hags across myth, fairy tales, and witchcraft traditions. From crones and night hags to divine old women and winter spirits, we unpack how hags became symbols of fear, power, age, autonomy, and survival, and why they tend to show up when the light is fading.

Are hags villains? Guardians? Witches who opted out of being palatable? Or something much older than all of that?

Light a candle, lock your doors, and enjoy the solstice. The hags are watching.

The table is long. The candles flicker. The air hums with anticipation, because tonight, we eat like gods.

This week on Witch, Yes!, Alicia and Terra pull up their chairs to explore the ancient, primal magic of the feast. From Dionysian bacchanals that blurred the line between divine and mortal, to sacred sabbats where every dish was an offering, to the modern potluck that somehow still holds ritual power: we're serving up the history, symbolism, and sorcery of communal eating.

Why do we break bread together? What makes a meal sacred versus just... dinner? And how did feasts become battlegrounds for status, politics, and straight-up witchcraft? (Spoiler: someone's always poisoning the wine.)

Whether you're hosting a coven dinner or just trying to survive Thanksgiving, we're uncovering how food, magic, and community have been stirring the same cauldron for millennia.

Set the table. Light the candles. Say the blessing, or the curse.

The feast begins now. 🍷🕯️

Your bones ache. Your heartbeat quickens. The moonlight hits just right and—oh no. Oh YES. You’re turning. Welcome to the pack, babe.

This week on Witch, Yes!, we’re howling at the moon and diving into the lore, legends, and lycanthropic history of werewolves!

We’ll sniff out ancient origins, magical transformations, and maybe a few modern wolves among us (spoiler: they’re all in Brooklyn). Grab your silver jewelry—actually, maybe don’t—and join us under the full moon.

Time to put down the silver, and grab some lycanthropy soup for the soul!
