Ep 008 - Things That Go Bump pt 1
Hex Positive
10/01/20 • 91 min
Happy Month of Halloween, witches! We're kicking things off with a bang. Or perhaps a BOO. Guest Host Jenn, aka TheOuijaGirl of tumblr fame, joins me in the virtual studio to talk about...and debunk...some modern myths about ghosts and the paranormal. We talk about those "ancient pagan ritual" spirit games, the origin of 3am as the witching hour (spoiler: it isn't), why the original Ouija boards were way too sexy, why TV ghost hunters are just RUDE, and lots more!
Follow TheOuijaGirl at http://TheOuijaGirl.tumblr.com.
Make sure you rate & review the show on your favorite podcatcher, and tune in every week this month for lots of Halloween fun!
Come visit my table at the RVA Coven Samhain Market!

Sorry it's a bit late this month, my darlings! My usual recording schedule got flipped a bit, what with a certain special project and getting ready for the May anniversary. But here you go!
We're back to the fairy tales this month with a little attraction spell from The Sisters Grimmoire, Vol I. This is a three-day spell to help bring an ideal person into your life and create an easily-recognized sign to signal their arrival.

Ep. 029 - Outgrowing Our Cocoons with Trae Dorn
Hex Positive
05/01/22 • 91 min
Happy Podcastiversary! Hex Positive is officially two years old and I thought I'd celebrate with an important discussion about growth. We all start out with ideas and impressions that we must unlearn, re-examine, and correct over time. This constant cycle of critical thinking and re-evaluation in response to new information is a normal and necessary part of a healthy practice. It is how we grow as practitioners and as people.
And in an effort to lead by example, I sat down with my podcast senpai Trae Dorn, resident lovable curmudgeon and host of our sibling show BS-Free Witchcraft, to talk about the bullshit we used to believe as novice witches and how we outgrew those ideas. You'll have to make your own mistakes and learn your own lessons, but perhaps by hearing our stories, you can avoid one or two of those pitfalls.

Sometimes, a witch just needs a break. Let’s all take a moment to go touch some grass...and talk about what that means. (Thank you for sticking with me through the hiatus!)

Hex Positive
07/01/23 • 93 min
Margaret Murray was a celebrated author, historian, folklorist, Egyptologist, archaeologist, anthropologist, first-wave feminist, and the first woman to be appointed to the position of lecturer in archaeology in the UK. So why so we get so annoyed whenever her name is mentioned in conversations about witchcraft? Well, it all has to do with a book Margaret wrote back in 1921...which just so happened to go on to have a profound influence on the roots of the modern witchcraft movement.
Nerd & Tie senpai and host of BS-Free Witchcraft Trae Dorn joins me in the virtual studio to discuss the thoroughly-discredited witch-cult hypothesis, Murray's various writings and accomplishments, and why modern paganism might not have caught on so strongly without her.

Lozzie’s back, friends and neighbors! And this month, we’re sitting down to talk about everybody’s favorite coven - the Witches of Lancre, from Discworld. Longtime fans of the show have heard the works of Sir Terry Pratchet (RIP) and the wisdom of Granny Weatherwax quoted many times on the show, but what other lessons might the Lancre coven have for us over the course of their many odysseys, quests, holidays, and general mucking about? (Tangents include which fantasy character is Legolas’ hot grimy dad, why certain tourists are so bloody annoying when they go abroad, which Discworld quote made Lozzie snarf tea out her nose, and what Bree and the sainted Sir Terry’s origin stories have in common.)
If you love Discworld, this episode is for you. If you’ve never heard of Discworld or are only passing familiar, consider this your introduction. Bit late for the Glorious 25th of May, but all the same - Here’s to Truth, Justice, Freedom, Reasonably Priced Love, and a Hard-Boiled Egg!

Equal Rites - Wyrd Sisters - Witches Abroad - Lords and Ladies - Maskerade - Carpe Jugulum

Ep. 017 - Hex-Scuse Me!
Hex Positive
06/01/21 • 44 min
You wanted it, you got it! After a full year, it's the long-awaited hex talk. Or hex education, if you will. This month, I'm diving into the basics of baneful magic, what it is, how to do it, and how to protect yourself during your magical mud-slinging.
(I do recommend listening to Ep. 3 "Hex Positive" before this episode if you haven't already done so, especially if you have questions about the Threefold Law.)
Come by my table at the Pride Witch Market on Sunday June 13th!

While you're all patiently riding out the podcast hiatus, here's a little treat to tide you over!
Earlier this year, Lozzie and I were panelists at the Critical Thinking Witch Collective online convention and we did a LIVE run of Stardust Sessions during our joint session on modern witchcraft, with special guest moderator Lee Curtis-Rogers of Do The Magical Thing. We wore our fanciest hats and had a lovely chat about how pop culture and modern witchcraft reflect and represent each other, delving into some of our favorite examples along the way. The audio is available here and the video version, with hats included, is available on my Patreon. (Extra special thanks to Maya for helping me locate the files - you're a peach!)
Stay tuned for the winter season - if I find time to breathe while we're moving house, I may pop some Patreon extras here in the feed.
Hex Positive will return in 2023!

Hex Positive
01/01/23 • 36 min
In this special hiatus presentation of my Patreon series "Stardust Sessions with Lozzie Stardust and Bree NicGarran," we’re fulfilling a promise made in our inaugural episode and having a go at King James the Sixth of Scotland and the First of England. Same guy, weird title, and as the scholars called him - the Wisest Fool in Christendom. Or as Lozzie calls him The Godliest Boy Who Ever Godly-Boyed.
In this series, we’ll be covering the life of King Jimmy from his early years as a boy king of Scotland through his involvement with a number of witch trials, his reign as King of England, and his contributions to literature and religion, which were by no means insignificant. By the end, you’ll probably have a much better understanding of why I boo every time the man’s name is mentioned.
Fair warning: We are not the least bit reverent. Also, we may have accidentally strolled out of the loo with our skirts tucked into our knickers at some point during the discussion.
