Whelp, we're a little late this month, but we have two topics that are both near and dear to our hearts. Hanny is covering the history and magic of bells. Liz is covering echidnas, both science-y and witchy! We would love to hear how you use both of these in your practice!

This month Hanny and Liz interview Australian author and flower farmer Eliza Henry-Jones. Eliza's latest book 'Salt and Skin' contains witchcraft themes that both Hanny and Liz adore. During the interview we talk to Eliza about her inspiration for the book, The Orkney Islands, themes of Salt and Skin, and the magic Eliza finds within her life.
Plot: "Grief-stricken over the loss of her husband, Luda Managan and her two teenaged children try to make a home for themselves on a collection of harsh and haunted Scottish islands.Luda, a photographer, is mesmerised by the extraordinary magic of the islands and soon finds herself condemned by the local community after publishing images documenting the death of a local child. Alienated, Luda turns her attention to the records from the 17th century island witch-hunts and the fragmented life stories of the executed women. Min, restless and strong, tries to fill up the space in their family left by her father. She soon finds comfort in the depths of the icy North Sea and in an unlikely friendship with the elderly and irreverent local ‘witch’..."

Calendar or not calendar? That is this question! This month we do a deep dive into calendars. What types of calendars are out there? How do we create our own calendar? Does it have to be by the sun? What's a lunisolar solar calendar? How can it impact on our practice? We cover this and so much more!

We can't believe it's taken 32 episodes for librarian witches to talk about researching witchcraft! Better late than never I guess.
Home - Grey Literature - Subject guides at Monash UniversityFinding and evaluating information - Library (monash.edu)Enhance your thinking - Learn HQ (monash.edu)
This episode is more of a discussion format. We talk about different kinds of resources, how to critically think and evaluate what you're reading. Are resources good or bad? How do we know?

Hi Everyone,
This month Liz and Hanny are (eeep a week late!), but we are celebrating our 2nd anniversary! It's been two years since we started the podcast. This month Hannah goes first discussing ideas for house blessings and cleansings. Liz explores the sustainability of a popular witchy product - sandalwood. Particularly focusing on two main Australian exports. In the podcast we mention Dr Mitchell, but that's the ABC journalists' name. Please see Dr McLellan for the scientific study.

For our second tipsy tale, Hanny is reading two different Irish Folktales. The first story is called: The Queen Beneath the Hill. It is about a fiddler called Ruairi who has an unexpected encounter on a hill.
The second story is called 'The Piper and the Pooka of November' where a man called Liam ends up in a tricky situation with a Pooka.
Both stories are from: ‘Celtic Tales of the Strange’ by Joanne Asala and illustrated by Marlene Ekman
***IMPORTANT***
If swearing and fiddling-with-oneself innuendos are not your thing, you're gonna wanna sit this one out... okay! Okay!Witch Bites Socials:
