Episode 106 - COVEN with Laura Hokstad

Thank you so much everyone for joining me today on the Fat Feminist Witch Podcast. This week I have a really exciting DOUBLE FEATURE! I had a privilege to interview two of the stars of the new documentary about modern witches COVEN, which premiered last month on CBC.


In this episode I'm talking with Laura Hokstad, a tarot reader and witch who is searching for a way to connect with others, and herself, through witchcraft. She visits some local covens and priestesses, each who have their own ways of bringing other witches together, and then she leaves Canada to explore ancestors in her past who are part of some of the biggest events in the history of witch trials.


There is a transcription available for this episode, which you can download at the following link:

Episode 99 - The End

Episode 99 - The End

After 7 amazing, wonderful, magical years ranting, raving, and wand-waving as The Fat Feminist Witch, I have decided to hang up my pointed hat and shift my focus toward my health and independence. In my final episode I talk about what the show, and all of you, have meant to me over the years. I cry a little bit, just a heads up. 

Thank you for listening, sharing, commenting, supporting, blurbing, writing, laughing, and connecting with me. I hope that we find ourselves on the same witchy path again in the future.

My website, https://thefatfeministwitch.wordpress.com will stay up, as will the podcast here on Anchor, but no new episodes will be released. The patreon page is shutting down, but the private facebook group will be available for those who are already members. I will continue to use twitter in the same non-professional way I have been using it for years, haha! 

I have been compiling episodes into themed playlists on Spotify and you can find them all, along with playlists I made for specific episodes and witchy purposes, at the following link.

https://open.spotify.com/folder/47d561a1b54ebe92


I hope you all have a Happy New Year's eve, and year, and a fabulous and magical future. I love you!

This episode was recorded in front of a live virtual audience, haha! This episode was recorded live on twitter as a fundraiser for my kitty cat Alley - who I am happy to report is doing very well! In the episode I give a quick run down on the story for those unfamiliar, talk about it's affect on me personally, the show's combination of Japanese/Shinto and Greco-Roman mythology, and of course ways you can work moony magic at home with crystals and planetary magic.

Episode 94 B-Side - ZOMBI - A Very Fat Feminist Halloween Special!

Episodes with music are only available on Spotify.

Hello again witches, seekers, and friends - and thank you for tuning in to The Fat Feminist Witch Podcast for my annual Very Fat Feminist Halloween Special - the b-side! I've got 13 fantastic tracks about african traditional religion, death, ancestors, and of course - zombies. 

This year we're not talking specifically about witches, but about magical practitioners whose legends and religious beliefs have contributed to our favourite Halloween Horrors. Though most modern zombie movies fit well into the science fiction genre, at one time they were filled with evil magic performed by "Voodoo witch doctors". Before that, the story and name of the zombi and of raising the dead was a real practice in Haitian Vodou.

Lilith Dorsey, author of Voodoo and African Traditional Religion joins me to talk about zombis and zombies, the vodou origins, their hollywood present, and a possible future where the genre can embrace it's magical roots.

Visit Voodoo Universe, Lilith's Patheos blog and her website lilithdorsey.com to learn more about her!

Track list:

  1. Voodoo Priestess by Screamin Jay Hawkins
  2. I Walk on Guilded Splinters by Dr. John
  3. Zombi by Dragon Ritual Drummers
  4. Ghede by Bonnie Devlin
  5. Bruha Bembe by Dr. John
  6. A Chant for Ancestors by Bonnie Devlin
  7. Rattlin' Bones by Preservation Hall Jazz Band
  8. Simbi Dlo by Artists for Peace and Justice
  9. Rara by the Drummers of the Societe Absolument Guinin
  10. Zombie by the Cranberries
  11. Deathless by Ibeyi
  12. I Put a Spell on You by Screamin Jay Hawkins

Episode 94 - ZOMBI - A Very Fat Feminist Halloween Special!

Hello again witches, seekers, and friends - and thank you for tuning in to The Fat Feminist Witch Podcast for my annual Very Fat Feminist Halloween Special! 

Every year at Halloween we examine some of the stories, tropes, and stereotypes that have contributed to the image of the Halloween Witch, the ways we celebrate her and the holiday, and how that image impacts real modern witches. This year we're not talking specifically about witches, but about magical practitioners whose legends and religious beliefs have contributed to our favourite Halloween Horrors. Though most modern zombie movies fit well into the science fiction genre, at one time they were filled with evil magic performed by "Voodoo witch doctors". Before that, the story and name of the zombi and of raising the dead was a real practice in Haitian Vodou.

Episode 91 B-Side - Eye See You

Episode 91 B-Side - Eye See You

Episodes with music are only available on Spotify.

Hello friends! Thank you so much for tuning in today I’m really excited to be back! Today’s episode is an exploration for the eye in magic, be it third or evil, belonging to an Egyptian god or floating atop a glowing pyramid. I’m going to tell you how to diagnose the presence of the evil eye and ways to shake it off, and how to balance the energy of your brow chakra.

This episode is called the B-SIDE because it's filled with music breaks featuring songs about eyes, vision, clairvoyance, and some that resonate with the third eye itself.

You can find the whole playlist, including songs I didn't end up using, here. These are the songs in the episode in order:

Bette Davis Eyes - Kim Carnes

The Third Eye - Roy Ayers Ubiquity

Third Eye - Florence + The Machine

Clearvoyance - Gogol Bordello

Electric Indigo - The Paper Kites

Circus - Britney Spears #FreeBritney

Fade Into You  - Mazzy Star

Dance of the Clairvoyants - Pearl Jam

Evil Eye - Billy Idol

Evil Eye - Franz Ferdinand

Woke Up This Morning - Alabama 3


The book referenced with the evil eye cure is Italian Folk Magic by Mary-Grace Fahrun (amazon.com | amazon.ca)

You can watch her video demonstrating the cure on her YouTube Channel - link.

You can also find Agatha De Santis's fabulous film Malocchio on YouTube - link.

Episode 90 - Muse-icology RE-RE-RE-REMIX!

Episode 90 - Muse-icology RE-RE-RE-REMIX!

Episodes with music are only available on Spotify.

Hello my witchy friends and a blessed Summer Solstice to all! Today's episode is a remix of episode 67 - Muse-icology, all about the magic of music! In that episode I spoke about the witchiest song of all time - I Put a Spell on You by Screamin' J Hawkins - tibetan singing bowls, musical divination and here's the really fun part - the musical notes that resonate with our chakras. In the OG ep I wasn't allowed to include any of the songs I mentioned, but now that I am hosted on Anchor this is possible, as long as you're listening on Spotify (it's free!). Including a few tweeks and updates, this episode now features a song for each chakra going from root to crown, and the song that inspired the episode's title - Musicology by Prince. 

If you like the idea of using pop music to work with your chakras, and think these songs are good or even just... interesting, you've gotta see the rest of the playlist. It's truly weird and strangely perfect. 

http://bit.ly/chakrakeys

Don't like my song choices, but want to make your own chakra keys playlist? COOL. Just go to tunebat.com, and search songs by key! (stick with majors) I'd love to see what you come up with! Pot it on Instagram and tag me @fatfeministwitch or use #chakrakeys.

Root - C
Sacral - D
Solar Plexus - E
Heart - F
Throat - G
Third Eye - A
Crown - B


I also made a playlist of some of my favourite voodoo-laden tracks by Screamin J when I created this episode, and you can still find that at the following link.

The article about the origins of singing bowls can be found here – The Star – Tibetan Singing Bowls Aren’t Tibetan, Sincerely, a Tibetan Person

Episode 80 - Baneful Bitchcraft: they protec/they attac

Episode 80 - Baneful Bitchcraft: they protec/they attac

Today’s topic is magical protection – using spells and rituals to protect your body, home, emotions, psychic self, and friends. This is the second episode in my new series of episodes about baneful bitchcraft – curses, hexes, and taboo magic for revenge and destruction. Protection spells aren’t inherently baneful, of course, but many are used in self-defence. It’s also pretty prudent to cast protection spells on yourself before casting curses or as part of a larger ritual. I've also got a review for Miss Aida's new book - Hoodoo Cleansing and Protection Magic!   Thank you to my advertisers for this episode: Better Help - Want to get 10% off your first month of online counselling through Betterhelp? visit http://betterhelp.com/fatfeministwitch and my newest advertiser - Wylde Faun!

Episode 68 - Clear Knowing

Episode 68 - Clear Knowing

Hello everyone and thank you for tuning in to episode 68 clear knowing – all about the powers of psychic intuition. This method of experiencing psychic phenomena or receiving spiritual messages involves a sudden and unshakable KNOWING. A claircognizant person will suddenly know the answer to a problem, they’ll just know they have to turn right here even though the directions say go straight, they just KNOW when someone is lying and they know it like they know their own name. It’s not a guess, it’s a clear fact that you cannot disbelieve because everything in you is saying THIS IS IT. Despite the fact that this is probably one of the most common psychic abilities, it’s one we rarely talk about and that can even be pushed aside or considered minor!  the crystals discussed in today's episode can all be found in The Complete Crystal Handbook by Cassandra Eason Want to develop your psychic abilities? check out Develop Your ESP by Nina Ashby   Special thanks to our newest advertiser: Wild Magick.

Today I’ve got a review of the Herbcrafter's tarot, which I also use to deliver your February tarot scopes but first I want to talk a little about witchy media and the pagan sabbat of Imbolc, celebrated February 1st and/or 2nd. We're talking about hedge witches, hearth witches, their differences and similarities, and WACKY PSYCHEDELICS. Plus I've got new tarotscopes for the month of February!

Episode 63 - Witches, Midwives, and... abortionists?

Episode 63 - Witches, Midwives, and... abortionists?

Hello friends and thank you so much for tuning in to episode 63 of the podcast. Today’s episode is kind of an extension from an episode I put out last year called Witches, Midwives and Doulas all about the role of midwives, herbalists, and medicine women in the history of witchcraft and women’s rights. Today we’re focusing on another aspect of that role – the abortionist. I’m going to talk a little about attitudes about abortion and conception and how that affected women and witches, and I’ve got some practical information about sketchy herbs and magic rocks and deities you can use in magic for reproductive freedom!   More info:  Wise Woman Herbal For The Childbearing Year by Susun Weed The Glam Witch by Michael Herkes (all about Lilith!)
