Ep. 019 - The Trouble with Tarot

Hex Positive ·

2021/08/02

(UPDATE: Fixed audio issues and restored first half. Thank you for your patience!) Tarot and tarot-reading have been a part of the modern witchcraft movement since the 1960s. But where did these cards and their meanings come from? Are they secretly Ancient Egyptian mystical texts? Do they have their origins among the Romani people? Are they a sacred closed practice that should not be used by outsiders? Nope, nope, and nope. This month, we delve into the actual history of tarot cards, discover

Hex Positive ·

2021/07/01

So there you are - you've done your prep, you've cast your spell, annnnd now you wait. And wait. And wait some more. (How long does this take, anyway?) So how do you know if your spells have worked? And what happens if they don't work at all? This one comes with a little extra philosophizing on why we get so down on ourselves when witchcraft doesn't work the way we expect it to. And of course, some extra affirmations for those of you who need to hear them. Follow the show on Twitter @hex_podcast

Happy February! Time for overpriced candy, cheesy romantic ads, and a serious talk about modern love magic. Specifically, why consent needs to be a part of it. (And of course, this is not to say that magic which seeks to circumvent or overwhelm free will does not exist or does not work. This is certainly a thing that exists. It’s well-established in quite a few old-world traditions like strega and curandero, among others, and even modern-day witchcraft books talk about persuasion and glamour and
