In this episode, we're going into the side of darker magic for Samhain and discussing the aspects of witchcraft and magical ingredients that might make the modern witch squeamish. Content warning: blood, menstrual blood, urine, bone magic, and discussions of using animal parts and spirits ethically in your magic.
This episode is the final of three episodes of our Samhain spooktacular: three themed episodes in which we look within and tackle the shadow work of the collective consciousness: the witch wound, witch wars, and the dark side of witchcraft.
