Laylla and Chelle honor the life and legacy of Pamela Colman Smith, the brilliant artist behind the iconic Rider-Waite-Smith (or what Laylla calls the Smith-Waite) tarot deck. Overlooked until recently, Pamelaâs work has influenced countless readers and seekers for over a century, yet her story remains shrouded in mystery and intrigue.
Join the witches as they delve into Pamelaâs life as a (possibly) queer, (possibly) mixed-race artist and occultist, her connections with the Golden Dawn, and the fascinating symbolism she infused into each card. Theyâll explore how Pamelaâs vision transformed tarot into a visual language that continues to inspire modern witchcraft and divination.
Tune in as they celebrate this powerful ancestress and unsung hero of tarot, uncovering the artistry, spirit, and intuition she brought to her craftâand why she deserves a place of honor in the hearts of all who read the cards. This episode is a beautiful blend of history, homage, and magic, perfect for connecting with the spirit of an artist who forever changed the world of tarot.

Get ready to light some candles and clutch your crystals, because this week on Back on the Broomstick, Chelle and Laylla are sharing one of their most unforgettableâand unnervingâparanormal experiences; the time they recorded a Ouija board session in a notorious haunted house, an encounter so chilling it made Chelle swear off ever stepping foot in the place again.
Our witchy hosts then take you on a journey through the fascinating history of spirit communication, tracing sĂ©ances from Victorian parlors to modern-day living rooms. Youâll discover the surprising origins of the Ouija board, which began as a simple parlor game but evolved into one of the most feared and misunderstood tools in paranormal investigation.
The episode tackles the age-old debate: are Ouija boards truly portals for demonic energy, or have they been unfairly demonized by pop culture? Chelle and Laylla weave together historical accounts, personal experiences, and spiritual insights. Theyâll also share their own hard-earned tips for safe spirit communication (pro tip: maybe donât start off with questions like âIs anyone evil here?â). Their discussion expands into more ghostly encounters from their personal vaults and the various ways spirits may attempt to connect with the living, sharing touching stories of how departed loved ones have sent signs to their families.
Whether youâre a skeptic or a true believer, this episode is packed with eerie insights, nervous laughter, and magical advice that will have you looking over your shoulderâand maybe reaching for your own spirit board (with proper precautions, of course!). Send us your ghost stories, because the spirit world loves an audience, and weâre here for it!

It's almost Samhain! The spooky season is the perfect time to cuddle up with a good witchy movie. Laylla and Chelle talk about some of our favorite Halloween classics to uncover the real magic behind the Hollywood spells. With blankets wrapped tight, hot tea in hand, and snacks aplenty, our witches have put in the *tough* work of rewatching beloved witchy flicks to answer the burning question: Is there real magic in these movies, or is Hollywood just spinning broomsticks for cash? And is there any truth to one of these movies being cursed by a real life witch?
From the sisterhood of "Practical Magic" to the teenage angst in "The Craft," and the delightful camp of "Hocus Pocus," these films have become staples of the spooky season; but just how much of the spellwork is authentic? And hold on to your broomsticks because there's a new witch in townâDisney's "Agatha All Along." Is this modern addition to the witchy canon casting actual spells or just riding the wave of witchy trends?
In this episode, Laylla and Chelle uncover some true witchcraft secrets hidden in their favorite spooky films. From creepy sounding code names for herbs to real-life witchy practices making an appearance on the big screen. You might be surprised to learn just how many genuine magical elements snuck their way into these films, and that even some of the dialogue contains actual spells!
If you've ever wondered whether Hollywood's witches are stirring up more than just special effects, tune in as our real witches break down the enchantments, the truths, and the tricks behind these Halloween favorites. It's a cauldron of movie magic, myth, and a sprinkle of mayhem as we celebrate the witchiest time of the year!
Expect some laughs, a few "ah-ha" moments, and possibly a strong urge to rewatch these classics with fresh eyes and a new appreciation for the witchcraft hidden beneath the cinematic spells!

Poem read by Rev. Laura GonzĂĄlez at Parliament of Worlds Religions
OUR MOTHER by Christian Ortiz Velarde
Our Mother, who art in heaven and on earth and everywhere,
Blessed be your beauty and your abundance.
Bring to our hearts the key that opens the portal of love.
Let each being be in conscious freedom with other beings,
And that the exercise of sacred jubilation be part of our existence,
May we welcome you at our table to share the holy food of your fertile womb.
Our Mother, who art in heaven and on earth and everywhere,
May you guide our steps,
May the rhythm of our hearts be one with the heart of the earth,
And so worship his blessed song.
May the stars guide us in the dark nights.
And the sun and moon embrace our bodies.
Oh Great Spirit.
Oh Great Mother.
Oh HOLY WOMAN.
Dedicated to:
Dora Velarde (My Mother/Source/Body/Soul), with love, light and gratitude.
