This month I wanted to talk about a couple of things that wouldn’t necessarily fill out a whole episode on their own. First off, after last month’s episode I wanted to clarify some of my thoughts on psychics. Secondly, I wanted to talk about bias and what we do with evidence that runs contrary to our beliefs. It should be a fun one though. Remember you can always buy Trae’s Books , and find me at Evercon Feb 28th-March 2nd, 2025.

One of the biggest podcasts out there right now is The Telepathy Tapes. It’s topping the podcast charts on both Apple and Spotify’s American listings, but it perpetrates an incredibly dangerous idea about people with autism. But none of this is new, and we’ve seen this kind of trend before. So it’s about time we talked about it.

This month we’re going to do something a little different — I’m going to just talk to you about how I’m doing right now.

It’s been about a year since Hex Positive ‘s Bree NicGarran showed up to review a piece of witchcraft media with Trae, and with how terrible the world is, why not take a break and listen to two witches reviewing the latest piece of the Marvel Cinematic Universe — Agatha All Along !

You do your best in this life to try and figure out what you’re doing. You write everything down, you make a schedule, and you plan. And sometimes those plans work out and sometimes they don’t.

Homeopathy is harmful and complete and total bull. I can’t emphasize that enough. In this episode we’re diving into the history of Homeopathy, what it is, and why it’s bad.

The entire #ReturnTheStone debacle over the last couple of weeks on WitchTok is honestly just a symptom of a a larger problem.

When the publicist for Weiser Books reached out to the show asking if I wanted a review copy of Annwyn Avalon’s new book “Celtic Goddess Grimoire,” I don’t really think they knew what they were getting into.

Sometimes in this community folks have a habit of making things about them that… aren’t. So that’s what we’re addressing this time around.

One of the most frustrating conversations we keep having to have in the modern witchcraft movement is about cultural appropriation. And while we’ve repeatedly touched on this before, I’ve never focused an episode purely on the topic. So let’s do that. Let’s talk about exactly what it is and why it’s such a problem.

A question that is significantly harder to answer than most people think is “What is Witchcraft?” This month I’m going to try to answer that, and if I fail you’ll be at least as confused as I am by the end.

Combating misinformation has always been one of the primary missions of this show, and honestly? It just gets exhausting sometimes. Why are people in this community so willing to uncritically pass on bad information? Why can’t people be bothered to do the minimum to verify what they’re saying’s correct? It’s incredibly frustrating.
