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
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.

Episode 94 B-Side - 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 - 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:
- Voodoo Priestess by Screamin Jay Hawkins
- I Walk on Guilded Splinters by Dr. John
- Zombi by Dragon Ritual Drummers
- Ghede by Bonnie Devlin
- Bruha Bembe by Dr. John
- A Chant for Ancestors by Bonnie Devlin
- Rattlin' Bones by Preservation Hall Jazz Band
- Simbi Dlo by Artists for Peace and Justice
- Rara by the Drummers of the Societe Absolument Guinin
- Zombie by the Cranberries

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
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 91 - Eye See You
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.
Are you a big music fan? If you use Spotify to listen to the show look for the version of this episode labeled B-SIDE - I've filled the episode with music breaks featuring songs about eyes, vision, clairvoyance, and some that resonate with the third eye itself.

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