In this episode we sat down with our new bestie Witch Team: Kate and Kristin from the Magick & Alchemy Podcast by Tamed Wild. We explored our ways into and through our magic. We are Word Witches, Dirt Witches, Sonic Witches, City Mice and Country Mice seeking guides wherever we look. Goats, rats, eggs, plants, stars. We are all Poets. From the streets of Manhattan to the fields of Portugal, we can feel St Elmo’s fire burning in us.
Check out Part 1 of our collab, where Missing Witches appeared on the M&A pod!
