Welcome to the seventh episode in our Patreon mostly series, Tripping Through the Tarot

The Fool Tarot Card in the Smith Rider Waite Deck

Content warning for brief mention of suicide and sexually explicit stand up. In this inaugural episode of our new Patreon mostly series, Tripping Through the Tarot, Anjel discusses the first card in the tarot: The Fool, as well as their experiences in the stand up comedy community and what dating a stand up comic has taught them about the nature of humor, and how there is power in speaking the quiet part out loud. They also talk about humor from an evolutionary standpoint and include a quote from Fool: A Novel by Christopher More.

Welcome to the 39th episode of the Science Witch Podcast!

In this episode, Anjel and Enku talk to Trogon, Enku’s Spouse, and Jacque about one of our favorite topics: Tarot.

It is important that we acknowledge the fact that Portland, Oregon is located in the traditional homelands of the Multnomah, Wasco, Cowlitz, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Watlala Bands of Chinook, Tualatin Kalapuya, Molalla, and many other indigenous nations who made their homes along the Columbia and Willamette Rivers. It is our intention in recognizing these communities to honor their lives, their legacies, their elders, their descendants, and the vibrancy and importance of their ongoing work—and to stand in solidarity with them at every opportunity.

Wild Witches Episode 1: Drawing Down the Moon

I wanted to post this conversation between myself and two of my favorite witches, Moondancer and Enku from our Wild Witches Year and a Day class as a bit of lagniappe for y’all listeners. In this discussion we talk about several topics around witchcraft traditions discussed in the book Drawing Down the Moon by Margot Adler and go on to discuss other topics such as witchcraft traditions, and even talk about QAnon and the Tarot is a closed practice debacle.
