001: How WitchFoot Came to Be
WitchFoot origin story: Is it the Great WitchFoot Project, the Great Conjunction, the Great Resignation or all three!? Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion...
Show Notes:
- Favorite horror movies (Please know that this list really forced us to be brief, but there could have been many more added. We look forward to continuing to explore the genre and growing with it.)
- Favorite quote about living in a house of cards, from Mysticism by Evelyn Underhill (1961) "We must come to this encounter with minds cleared of prejudice and convention, must deliberately break with our inveterate habit of taking the 'visible world' for granted; our lazy assumption that somehow science is 'real' and metaphysics is not. We must pull down our own card houses - descend, as the mystics say, 'into our nothingness - and examine for ourselves the foundations of all possible human experience, before we are in a position to criticize the buildings of the visionaries, the poets and the saints. We must not begin to talk of the unreal world of these dreamers until we have discovered - if we can - a real world with which it may be compared."
- Abraham Hicks (Andrea paraphrases a quote: No amount of effort can make up for lack of alignment.)
- Great Conjunction and Great Mutation
- To pull your own birth chart we recommend Cafe Astrology or Astro Charts. There are many others out there, find one you love!
- How to find your chart ruler and what it means (astrology)
- The Great Resignation (huzzah and ugh)
- F 2020 song (YouTube)
- Living, aka the act of being alive, should be free. This is not a debate. We did it for 200,000 years.
- WitchFoot Astrology Sessions & Natal Charts: Coming soon!
- Dolly Parton quote: "Find out who you are and do it on purpose."

003: The WitchFoot Perspective
What are the three P's of personal responsibility?! Who's Carol P. Christ? How do we stop dramatic stalemates and fucking do something good around here? We're so excited to have you - welcome to the WitchFoot perspective.
Show Notes:
- To pull your own birth chart we recommend Cafe Astrology or Astro Charts. There are many others out there, find one you love!
- Owen Wilson's Saturday Night Live Monologue (YouTube: quote from 1:44 - 2:27)
- Information is inherently neutral (more on that next episode!)
- Caroline Myss and the lectures where we encountered the concept of "energy leaks"
- Another energy leak conversation I love: Mark Duplass and Pete Holmes on You Made it Weird discussing "soul points"
- Diving Deep and Surfacing: Women Writers on Spiritual Quest by Carol P. Christ. We read the 1986 edition which contains a foreword that describes many of her techniques in bringing these types of ideas to groups of women. We highly recommend any edition you can find!
- Carol discusses the four stages of a woman's spiritual and social quest: Nothingness, Awakening, Insight, Naming. WitchFoot discusses "nothingness" and "naming" in this episode. Nothingness being a quality of invalidation and lack of discussion around major themes and prominent feelings and values that many people experience. Lacking templates for the life you were born into. Naming, the final stage, as a response to the understanding, integration and healing that's blossomed into a creative naming process - bringing stories into being by applying new and old words in ways otherwise unseen. Stories that shed light on the vast array of beauty and suffering on earth and allow the shadows to be given space and language. Stories that name women and their complex, beautiful, painful lives so that the patriarchy can't define it for us.
- Nothingness and naming help to illuminate topics close to our hearts like, why horror can be good for everyone (kids too!) - There is a way that horror addresses power dynamics, feelings of alienation and fear and lots of complex societal ills that has made loyal fans out of both of us. More horror in episode 4!
- Carol has a PhD from Yale! She's an absolute incarnation of the goddess and this obituary on her is a gift. Also, check out that website (blog and main site)! Looks like it's kept up by some incredible humans.
- We mentioned historic gridlock (from the perspective of American politics), the Bush v. Gore election and a sense that the powers that be have l
