Episode 30-Reproductive Rights and Witches

Episode 30:

Welcome to the 30th episode of the Science Witch Podcast!

Anjel protesting the leaked draft of the Supreme Court decision in early May 2022.

In this episode, Enku and Anjel talk about their time visiting one another in the Southeast, getting to meet Seba the Southern Fried Witch and Anjel talks about her time spent visiting New Orleans with their partner. They then chat a little bit about Enku’s herbal product’s business Goat and Thistle, which is a podcast sponsor. Towards the later half of the show, they discuss the recent assault on reproductive rights by the Supreme Court’s draft decision to repeal Roe vs Wade. They also talk about how witches have a long history of being the guardians of the sacred knowledge of birth and death and why it is so important for witches to advocate for reproductive rights.

Before the episode we talk about our Patreon page and the new extended content available to our subscribers.

Wild Witches Episode 7: Dungeons and Dragons and the Satanic Panic at Orycon 2021

Wild Witches Episode 7: Dungeon and Dragons and the Satanic Panic with Puppy and Sean at Orycon 2021
from the Chick Track

For this episode in the Wild Witch Series, Anjel share a recording from a presentation on Dungeons and Dragons and the Satanic Panic presented at Orycon 2021 with the help of their spouse, Puppy and their friend Sean. Content warning for descriptions of child abuse and language association with sexual abuse as well as mentions of child abuse and rape. Mind you that next to none of the allegations turned out to have any validity but I wanted to mention this incase any of our listeners are sensitive to this sort of topic, so listener discretion is advised. In this episode we discuss the history of the Satanic Panic and how it intersected with the fantasy tabletop role playing game Dungeon and Dragons, and how this continues to have reverberations even today. Before we get to the episode, Anjel talks about updates to the Pateron, so check out the Science Witch Podcast on Patreon.
