Grab your garlic and your favorite crystal, because Megan and Morgan are sinking their teeth into vampires. It’s October, the veil is thin, and we’re digging into where these bloodsuckers came from, why we can’t stop thirsting over them, and how to keep the real-life ones (hello, energy vampires) from draining your battery. We go from ancient Greece to the Black Plague to Victorian drawing rooms to the group chat that always leaves you exhausted. Spooky, funny, and surprisingly useful. In This Episode, We Talk About: Where vampire myths began, starting in ancient Greece How the Black Plague turned a lot of scared people into amateur vampire hunters What modern disease research says about “vampire” traits (science is weird, y’all) Vampire legends around the world, because every culture has its own flavor of nightmare How the Victorians gave us the brooding, cape-wearing vampire we know today  Lilith and her place in vampire mythology Why vampires have been tragically sexy for centuries (we have thoughts) Energy vampires and psychic drainers: how to spot them in everyday life Protection techniques, including shielding and stones Our own stories of energetic boundaries and run-ins with drainers You don’t need a wooden stake. You need good boundaries, a solid shield, and the willingness to leave the conversation. Listen If You...

Grab your flashlight and your skepticism (or don’t, we’re not your mom). This week your favorite witchy aunts wander into cryptid country, from the misty forests of Northern California to a riverbank in Ohio where something with a frog face may or may not have stood up and looked at people. We dig into why Bigfoot has such a grip on California’s culture and identity, the strange history and sightings behind the Loveland Frogman, and the legend of the Moon-eyed people, who they might have been, and where their story comes from. And yes, we’re Aquarians, so there’s a healthy dash of skepticism in there too.  In this episode: California Bigfoot and why the big guy still matters The Loveland Frogman: sightings, history, and a whole lot of “wait, what?” The Moon-eyed people and the theories about their origins Colin and a racoon standoff The skeptical and scientific side of the cryptid question Believer, skeptic, or just here for the vibes?

Grab a mug of something warm and pull up a chair, because we're in the kitchen this week. Megan and Morgan dig into fall kitchen magick, otherwise known as the art of making dinner and casting a spell at the same time, because who has time to do those separately? They talk about the herbs and spices that carry autumn's energy, from sage, rosemary, and thyme for cleansing and protection to the warm spices that make your whole house smell like a candle store (but with intent). They get into the magick hiding in seasonal staples like pumpkins, apples, and citrus, and why the foods of the harvest season carry so much symbolism, especially when Persephone starts packing for her annual trip downstairs. Plus: carving sigils into root vegetables (yes, your potatoes can work for you), food rituals for abundance and protection, why baked goods are basically edible spellwork, and how presentation turns a plate into an offering. They also share some favorite recipes and ways to bring deities and mythology into your kitchen practice without needing a cauldron (but if you have one of those fun Home Goods ones, they want to see it!). In this episode: Why fall is prime time for kitchen magick Fall herbs and spices and their magickal properties Pumpkins, apples, and citrus as magickal ingredients Avalon, Persephone, and the spiritual symbolism of harvest foods Recipes and food rituals for abundance and protection Carving sigils into root vegetables Cleansing and protection with sage, rosemary, and thyme The magick of baked goods and ritual food presentation Stir clockwise, set your intention, and maybe don't tell your family what you carved into the casserole.

The Owens sisters are back, and so are your witchy aunts. Megan and Morgan sat down to discuss Practical Magic 2, and yes, they have opinions. Lots of them. They get into who the sequel did justice and who it didn't, and analyzed how the story was actually put together. They also talked special effects (they’re fine with them!), costumes that made them gasp enviously, and the scenes they have written differently if anyone had bothered to ask two witches with microphones.  Stick around to the end for their ratings, overall verdict, and whether this one earns a spot next to the original in your October rotation or goes straight into the "we don't talk about it" drawer.

Somebody living rent-free in your energy field? Megan and Morgan are grabbing the metaphysical scissors. This week your two witchy aunts dig into cord cutting spells: what they actually are, what they definitely aren't, and why you can't just snip once and expect your ex to vanish from the astral plane forever. They bust the big myths (no, it's not a magickal block button, and no, it's not a one-and-done deal), walk through the different levels of cord cutting, and share how to use visualization, candles, and salt to release ties safely and effectively. Plus, the step everybody skips: filling that empty space afterward so something funky doesn't move right in. And because cutting the cord is only half the job, they talk boundaries, the real work of keeping healthy relationships after the ritual is done. Throw in some personal stories from their own cord-cutting adventures, and you've got an episode that's equal parts practical and "oh honey, we've all been there." In this episode: What cord cutting really is (and the misconceptions that need to go) The different levels and purposes of a cord cut Visualization techniques that actually work Tools and rituals, including candles and salt Why filling the space afterward matters Boundaries after the snip Our own cord-cutting stories How often to cut, and why "permanent" is a myth Grab your scissors (the energetic kind) and listen in. 🕯️✂️ We want your witchy, spooky, or cryptid stories!  Submit them to: [email protected]  Find us online: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twowitchestalking/ YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnwbnRqp1lNrBhomFmy_IYXz7-aNP4HSG&si=1emjGFu0Y15_6lOS  Patreon: https://patreon.com/TwoWitchesTalking

Prepare for Pagan Thanksgiving with the witchy aunts this week on Two Witches Talking. Megan and Morgan explore the significance of Mabon, the Autumn Equinox, and its connections through witchcraft, harvest festivals, and seasonal traditions around the world.  They share personal insights, historical context, and practical magick tips for celebrating this sacred season. You’ll love their ideas for altar decor ideas, gemstones, food, and practices for the autumn season. Witches love autumn, and your witchy aunts do too! Topics Covered: The origins of Mabon & its connection to harvest festivals How to celebrate the autumn equinox magickally Symbolism & correspondences for Mabon, including colors, gemstones, and foods The significance of balance and gratitude during this season Personal practice for reflecting on spiritual growth and setting intentions We want your witchy, spooky, or cryptid stories!  Submit them to: [email protected]  Find us online: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twowitchestalking/ YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnwbnRqp1lNrBhomFmy_IYXz7-aNP4HSG&si=1emjGFu0Y15_6lOS  Patreon: https://patreon.com/TwoWitchesTalking

Anne Hathaway lit a Dolly Parton candle while charging Jupiter Cazimi water and it stopped the aunts’ scroll. Is she a witch? That’s the inspiration for this episode of Two Witches Talking! Together, Megan and Morgan speculate on which celebs might be witches. (This is their opinion, only!) They dig into celebs like Stevie Nicks, Vanessa Hudgens, and Sandra Bullock, and even chat about people like Patrick Swayze, whose beliefs were before their time. Witchcraft or being “witchy” isn’t the same weird label it was decades ago and it’s exciting to see people in the public eye pull Tarot decks out of their bags and light candles on tiktok. So the aunts what to know…who do you think is a witch behind the scenes?

Perimenopause: it's not just hot flashes and forgetting where you put your car keys (though, yes, also that). This episode, Megan and Morgan get real about the brain fog, the body changes, and the emotional rollercoaster of aging as a witch, and why none of it means your magick has to suffer. Spoiler: it might actually get sharper. The aunts dig into practical magick and grounding techniques that work when your hormones are staging a coup, plus herbal remedies and energetic practices specifically for hot flashes (because "just drink more water" doesn’t cut it). They also get into the deeper stuff, like body positivity, self-acceptance, and what it actually looks like to embrace this phase of life with confidence instead of dread. Expect honest talk, a little chaos, and genuinely useful tools: meditation, mindfulness, and grounding practices you can lean on when the fog rolls in. This one's for every witch who's ever wondered if they're losing their mind (you're not, it's just perimenopause).

Grab your protection crystals, because your witchy aunts are talking about a threat scarier than most curses: online scammers. Megan and Morgan dig into the murky underbelly of the online witchcraft world, where AI-generated "spell kits," impersonation accounts, and dropshipping schemes are preying on well-meaning practitioners. If you've ever bought a "hand-poured" candle that mysteriously shipped from three states away in a plain Amazon box, you know how it feels. The aunts break down how scammers are using AI to whip up convincing product photos and fake Book of Shadows pages, how to spot an impersonator account before you send your hard-earned money to a stranger pretending to be your favorite witchy creator, and why "authenticity" has become the internet's most exploited buzzword. It's part cautionary tale, part masterclass in internet street smarts, delivered with the appropriate amount of side-eye. By the end of the episode, you'll have real, practical tools for vetting witchcraft businesses before you buy, because protecting your energy should also mean protecting your bank account.  We want your witchy, spooky, or cryptid stories!  Submit them to: [email protected]  Find us online: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twowitchestalking/ YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnwbnRqp1lNrBhomFmy_IYXz7-aNP4HSG&si=1emjGFu0Y15_6lOS  Patreon: https://patreon.com/TwoWitchesTalking

Did you know you can stir your morning brew and cast a spell? It’s true! This week your witchy aunts are diving into coffee magick, because apparently the "devil's drink" has been holding down altars, spell bags, and skincare routines this whole time AND one of the early popes claimed it must be evil because he liked it so much! They’re talking intention-setting while you stir, grounds that do double duty as exfoliant and protection charm, and why tossing cinnamon or rose into your cup turns breakfast into a whole ritual. Coffee isn't just caffeine, it's an accelerant for your spells and your focus, as well as your will to leave the house. We're getting into the good stuff: dyeing paper and fabric with coffee for spellwork, building ancestor offerings with your leftover grounds, and brewing up abundance and protection rituals that fit into a routine you're already doing anyway. No fancy equipment, no fussy correspondences chart required, just your coffee maker and a little intention. Grab a cup (obviously) and come hang with your witchy aunts while we prove your caffeine addiction was magickal all along.

Ever wonder what a witch actually does all day besides look mysterious and own too many candles? In this episode, Megan and Morgan crack open their actual daily practice: the grounding, rituals, and tools they reach for without even thinking about it anymore. Spoiler: it's less "dramatic moonlit spell" and more "intentional cup of coffee." We’re busy witches! They walk through the ritual tool lineup (athame, incense, candles), talk about why an intention is basically the difference between lighting a candle and doing magick, and get into the daily habits that keep their practice alive: journaling, card pulls, and energy bubbles for when the world is too much.  Whether you're brand new to this or a decade deep and just looking for new rituals to steal, this episode is basically a permission slip to make your practice as simple, weird, or elaborate as you want it to be.

Eclipse season is here, and your witchy aunts are back to tell you why the stars are throwing a cosmic curveball at your plans. Megan and Morgan break down what makes eclipse season different from your typical moon cycle (spoiler: it's a lot more intense, a lot more unpredictable, and yes, there are some good “rules” about what you should and shouldn't be casting right now). They get into the nitty-gritty differences between solar and lunar eclipses, because treating them the same is how you end up manifesting chaos instead of change. If you've ever wondered whether it's safe to start a new spell during an eclipse portal, or why your intuition feels extra loud this time of year, this episode is your permission slip to slow down and actually plan your rituals instead of winging it. The aunts cover eclipse portals, timing your magick for maximum impact, and how to use this astrologically chaotic window for genuine transformation rather than just chaos for chaos's sake. Grab your calendar (and maybe a stiff tea): this one's essential listening before the next eclipse rolls around.

Megan and Morgan both saw The Odyssey on opening weekend and just had to talk about the magick and mythology in the film. They’re keeping it as spoiler-free as possible, and discussing Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of The Odyssey. They’re unpacking the actual witchcraft baked into Homer's epic: Circe’s magick (relatable, some days), Calypso and Odysseus’s experience on an island for seven years, and what it means that many of the "monsters" of this story are powerful women. They talk about why these figures read less like villains and more like the original magickal practitioners: herbalists, enchantresses, and women with power and wisdom. They’re also talking about the cyclops, Nolan’s practical effects, the shades of Hades, and so much more!  We want your witchy, spooky, or cryptid stories!  Submit them to: [email protected]  Find us online: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twowitchestalking/ YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnwbnRqp1lNrBhomFmy_IYXz7-aNP4HSG&si=1emjGFu0Y15_6lOS  Patreon: https://patreon.com/TwoWitchesTalking

There’s a wealth of witchcraft information out there, and one of the best ways to expand your personal practice is to borrow from others’ decks, books, and resources. This week, Megan and Morgan discuss the spells found in the Magickal Spellcards deck, offering insights, adaptations, and insight into how you can make someone else’s spells into your own. This isn't a "buy these cards and you're set" conversation. The witchy aunts get into the real talk: how to actually adapt someone’s suggested rituals so they fit your life instead of forcing yourself into someone else's practice, why that random candle color you grabbed from the dollar store might matter more than you think, and how the stuff sitting in your junk drawer right now could be more magickal than anything on a witchy Etsy shop. Spoiler: your grandmother's sewing tin has main character energy. At the heart of it all is intention, because you can have the fanciest cards, the “perfect” crystals, and a Pinterest-worthy altar, but if you're not actually visualizing what you want, you're basically just playing witchy dress-up. Tune in for a conversation that's part practical toolkit, part permission slip to make your practice actually yours.

Ever wanted to name your house like it's a tiny, protective deity? This week Megan and Morgan get into home warding, from naming your space (yes, your house wants a name, and yes, it'll listen better once it has one) to building protective wards with oils, sigils, and whatever crystals are currently judging you from the windowsill. They dig into the difference between just decorating with crystals and actually using them with intention, because a chunk of black tourmaline sitting on a shelf collecting dust is basically a paperweight. Expect real talk on scent, sigils, and the small daily rituals that keep a space (and the people living in it) from turning into chaos gremlins. It's part practical magick, part "how do I stop my apartment from feeling like a waiting room" with the usual aunt-energy commentary on why your home is an extension of your magick as a witch.
