I'm gonna be straight with you...

This is my podcast. I'm RJ. I really hope people enjoy this because Elle and I have put a lot of work into it. I'm also an Audiobook narrator and so audio quality is very important to me. I wanted to make a witchy true crime podcast that were serve as a vehicle for historical anthropology. I may not believe in magic, but I still believe it is important to know about. So much of our everyday lives is influenced by ancient magic. Birthday cakes, for example, were part of an ancient ritual to appear Artemis, goddess of the hunt. I hope you'll go along with us on this wild ride of a podcast and maybe learn some cool shit along the way.
