81. Reflections

Mar 28 2025 32 mins

This month on the show we’re talking about the importance of taking stock and realizing that the person you used to be isn’t the person that you are — and how important it is to document who you are now so that you might know yourself better later. Or something. It makes sense if you listen, I swear. Remember you can always buy Trae’s Books and visit Trae

80. A Couple of Things…

Feb 21 2025 35 mins

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 Tr

79. The Telepathy Tapes and the Dangers of ‘Magical Autism’

Jan 24 2025 31 mins

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. Remember you can always buy T

Dec 27 2024 31 mins

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. Stuff’s not necessarily the best, so I kind of had a few things I needed to get out of my system. But I’m still here, still fighting, and still sticking by you. Remember you can always buy Trae’s Books (And, of course, do

Nov 29 2024 99 mins

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!

75. Plans.

Sep 27 2024 28 mins

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. That’s what this episode is about. Sort of. Kind of. In a way. I think. Read Trae’s Books: The Witch and the Rose ISBN: 9798869132666 Available Via: Amazon / Kindle /

74. Homeopathy is Bulls***.

Aug 30 2024 38 mins

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. And I think, by the end of it, you’ll agree with me. Further Reading: * What is the lawsuit against CVS and Walmart? Chains targeted over homeopathic product sales (USA Today) * ‘

72. Arrogance.

The entire #ReturnTheStone debacle over the last couple of weeks on WitchTok is honestly just a symptom of a a larger problem. One of the core, underlying issues that is the cause of a lot of these issues in the Modern Witchcraft Movement is arrogance, and it’s about time we talk about it. Reminder! The annual Q&A episode is coming up soon, and I need your questions! Sub
