Thank you, as always, to our wonderful sponsors! See below for special deals for listeners! Endora, Glinda, Maleficent, Elsa, Willow…..squee! Jessica Mason of The Mary Sue geeks out with us over our favorite pop culture Witches! We explore how many Witches find their Magickal paths through pop cultures, and how movies and television can make us believe in Magick as well as find hope when it’s not always easy to find. Plus, what to do when a favorite authors or artist reveals a super-problematic nature? Kanani reveals her hatred of a beloved fantasy epic and Courtney shares th best holiday music for Witches (in HER opinion). A listener is interested in mythology or deities representative of child-free women, but keep running into patriarchal crap! Where else can they look? On Patreon: Stories of Nicole Kidman and a Disneyland bathroom, and horror stories on the set of a beloved Witch movie. Audio transcript to follow.
