Drag queen? Drag GODDESS!

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:

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/47d561a1b54ebe92I hope you all have a Happy New Year's eve, and year, and a fabulous and magical future. I love you!

Hello again witches, seekers, and friends - and thank you for tuning in to The Fat Feminist Witch Podcast! This is technically my Halloween episode, but for many reasons I had to put it off and put it out on November 11th, which happens to be the podcast's birthday! Yay!
In this episode I wax poetic about the most infamous, scary, and charismatic figure in all of halloween lore-- the Devil. Why does the devil intrigue us, how does he get to us, and what is his place in modern witchcraft and society? I also talk about one of my favourite musicians of all time, Robert Johnson, and those of you who listen via spotify can tune in this weekend for the B-SIDE to this episode that features some of his music.

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.
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!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
