Feast of Torches

Feast of Torches

By Azaizall

“Much like us, magic has grown and thrived. From knowledge passed from our grandmothers, to circles of found families and seeking something more.
Here we will catch glimpses of the past, seeing how they made their way to the present, and where they can go in the future. Though we thrive on the moonlight, it is the fire of wisdom that we seek to ignite.

Welcome to the Feast of Torches.”

Spirit Communication

Spirit Communication

Welcome to the Feast of Torches, on today’s episode we will be feasting upon the topic of Spirits and Spirit Communication, Now during this time of Samhain as the veil’s have thinned. A lot of people seem to have this understanding that oh now that the veil’s have thinned i can get some of that spooky ooky and while this is true to an extent. The Spirit’s are available to us all year round but during this time it may be easier to bring these entities forth. In this episode we learn a bit about different types of spirit's how to best commune with them and building that relationship.

You will also get to witness some of our hilarious banter and possible mental breakdown over Janet Farrar's "The Witches of Wexford, Ireland" (Video will be linked below).
