The Witchcast - Episode 49 - Lucy shares Elizabethan Magick, The Witches Ladder and how-to advice on Crafting Covens

By knot of one, the spell’s begun...Blessed be, Witches! This week Lucy goes deep into the second season of A Discovery of Witches, which goes all Outlander on us as Diana and Matthew step back in time - to 1590, to be precise. It’s a feast for the fans of witchy history - alchemist Mary Sidney, The School of Night, Dr John Dee and a host of real-life magickal folks cross paths with our protagonists. Lucy explores real-life weavers, conducts a little how-to on knot magick, explains and explores the Witches Ladder and finds out just how Teresa Palmer (Diana Bishop) found her own elemental magick during the shoot for the show.
The Turn of a Card turns up a question on how to deepen the magick of a coven working from a share house - Lucy explores ways to keep a magickal group fresh, connected, and healthy - as well as how to introduce structure that can really focus your witchcrafting skills while respecting all members’ individual strengths. There are a host of occult-flavoured songs from Stevie Nix (no, it is NOT Rhiannon), the Pretenders and Donovan. A big big thankyou to our sponsors, Kohli Tea, Primal Healing and Blue Angel Publishing, and to the supporters who make the heart of this podcast beat into being every Friday - Patreon family, you are the best! And big thanks as always to Shayne Brian for his sound magick!
Songs:

Sorcerer - Stevie Nicks (featuring Sheryl Crowe)
Hymn to Her - the Pretenders
Season of the Witch - Donovan

As always huge gratitude and love and thanks to all the Lucy Cavendish Patreon supporters, and to all the keen listeners who’ve written in, and to Talented Producer Shayne for making Lucy’s kitchen sound like a magickal recording studio! 
A HUGE THANKYOU to all the Witchcast sponsors – Naomi Manouge at Primal Healing, Blue Angel Publishing, Kohli Tea (having a cuppa right now) and if you would like to become a sponsor of the Witchcast, just head to Lucy’s Patreon page to see how to make this happen!
