Longtime fans of the show have heard the works of Sir Terry Pratchet (RIP) and the wisdom of Granny Weatherwax quoted many times on the show, but what other lessons might the Lancre coven have for us over the course of their many odysseys, quests, holidays, and general mucking about?

Thankfully, there’s refuge from the mad rush here on Hex Positive, where I cozy up with my CritWitchCon buddy Ana Mor to talk about fun and witchy folklore from the holiday season!
