  • SE 05 - EP 113 - Wild Women
    May 9 2025

    The cauldron is bubbling, the conversation is flowing, and the peach cider is definitely enchanted. Join Maeve, Margo, Gwen (your resident witches), and Brian (our wise druid) as they gather once more around their famously magical coffee table to explore the wild, wonderful world of women in paganism.

    This week’s episode is a deep as our favourite hosts take a wild ride through the thickets of women in paganism—.

    From the early days of feminist witchcraft to today’s more gender-inclusive circles, we explore the energy that draws people into the Craft. Is it the divine feminine? The call of the wild? Or maybe just the aesthetic?

    (Let’s be honest—flowy robes and candles are a crowd pleaser... )

    🔥 Topics stirred in the cauldron include:

    • Was modern paganism built on the backs of the women’s power movement?
    • Why so many women feel called to the Craft (and why the cauldron’s now bubbling with more masculine energy too!)
    • Is the spiritual pull about energy, archetypes, or just damn good incense?
    • The evolution of gender roles in pagan spaces—divine feminine, sacred masculine, and everything in between.


    🕯️ And because no good witchy chat exists in a vacuum, we touch on how gender roles and divine archetypes are handled in other religions too—from Christianity to Eastern philosophies, and everything in between.

    Expect a few cackles, a couple of side-eyes at patriarchy, and—of course—a spirited conversation about how the lines between gender, power, and spirituality are being redrawn with every solstice, full moon, and drum circle.

    So, whether you walk with wolves, dance with Dionysus, or just really like herbs and candles—this one’s for the wild in all of us. 🖤🌕

    ✨ Pour a cup of something strong and hit play, witches. The coven is in session.

  • SE 05 EP 112 - Paganism & Clergy
    Apr 25 2025

    This week, it’s Margo, Gwen, Maeve, and Brian— yes, the usual suspects— gathered ‘round our well-loved, wax-stained, definitely-seen-some-things coffee table.

    We’ve got candles burning, notebooks open, and a tasty little black cherry cider from BC on the side (because we’re fancy like that).

    But tonight’s topic? Oh, just a little something light and breezy like... Paganism and Clergy.
    Yep—we’re going there.Paganism and Clergy.

    Let’s be real: it’s not something you hear about every day in the wider world, but in our communities, it’s a conversation that’s long overdue.

    We’re asking the big stuff:

    🕯️ What is "clergy" , Pagan-style?
    🕯️ Do we need it, or are we all just DIY priests and priestesses anyway?
    🕯️ Who gets to say they’re clergy, and is there a secret Pagan paperwork club no one told us about?
    🕯️ Most importantly, what does this look like in practice? From hospital visits and end-of-life care to handfastings and community rituals… does having a go-to spiritual person make a difference?

    We’re getting into it with all the honesty, sass, and side-eye you’d expect. No gatekeeping, no fluff—just a real convo about leadership, service, and support in our modern Pagan lives.

    ✨ CALL TO ACTION: Okay, your turn.
    Have you ever worked with clergy in a Pagan context, or been one? Do you think formal roles help or hurt the path? Got a spicy take on who gets to call themselves a High Priestess?
    We wanna hear it!
    Drop us a message, leave a comment, howl at the moon—whatever works. What do you think?

    🌿 Three Witches and a Druid – Episode: "Magical Gardening" 🌿
    Attention spellcasters and soil lovers!

    Welcome back to another lush and lively episode of Three Witches and a Druid, where the herbs are thriving and the hosts are in full bloom!

    This week, our favourite garden gnomes in disguise—Maeve, Margo, Gwen, and Brian—sprout from their usual cauldron side chatter and dig their hands into the dirt (literally ).

    The coven takes a field trip to the enchanting Lowland Gardens, nestled in Great Village, Nova Scotia. A locally owned greenhouse that's practically bursting with green magic.

    Joining them is a dear friend and fellow druid, Michael, whose family runs the greenhouse and knows his compost from his cauldrons. Together, they chat about:

    🌕 Lunar gardening wisdom— Why the first full moon in June might just be your garden’s best friend.

    🌱 Planting with purpose — From herbs that heal to veggies that vibe - and * random zucchini -ing's *♻️ Sustainable Gardening — How local, earth-friendly gardening connects us more deeply to the land and magic. AND a fascinating deep dive into a more sustainable and earth-friendly heating system for the greenhouse!
    Everyday enchantments — Magical kitchen moments and the alchemy of homemade lemon balm tinctures.
    ☕️ Spilled tea alert! — Hear all about the April Fools' prankthat spiralled into unexpected hilarity… and a good reminder not to believe everything you see online … no matter how magical it may seem.

    Whether you're a seasoned green witch or just now realizing your basil plant might be judging you, this episode is packed with inspiration, laughter, and a little soil under your nails.

    So grab your garden gloves, your moon calendar, and a cup of something herbal—it's time to get magically muddy.

So wonderful to have this amazing group to spend time with and hear their experiences and share their knowledge. It can be difficult to find authentic content for earth based folk and your podcast welcomes everyone from every path and makes all feel welcome. Being on the solitary path can have its challenges at times but I know there are so many others who are on the same journey as I. So many have come from a toxic environment of those that proselytize and spew their harmful and hateful speech and beliefs onto anyone that does not fit their model for salvation. I knew that the God of the Bible could not love and hate his children at the same time, and doubly so for me as my orientation is considered an "abomination" I would be damned to the depths of hell. In one of the episodes where you were talking about how frustrating it is that everyone believes witches worship the devil, and then Brian said, " the devil is actually a deity of the Christian faith " (rough quote), but I nearly fell off my chair. I have never hear this before and it just went through me to my core. It was the one piece of truth that I have been missing all my life. This is simply another form of hate used to control congregates with the fear of a hell that they created from a book of tales based in hate. I know that I alone choose the path of belief that I wish to follow. We are not broken, we are not alone and our great Mother (in all her forms) watches over us every day and has nothing but love for us. For those who have invested the time in reading this review, do not be afraid to discover your path for yourself. do not let anyone tell you that you are hated or not loved or an abomination based on some book of myths written by very angry people. Thank you so much for all that you do and I cannot wait for the next episode!

Feels like being around the campfire with friends!

So inspiring!! Their theories and discussions bring lively conversations to my inner ponderings of the craft with added enthusiasm and wisdom fueled additions that I haven’t thought of! I’ve been practicing formally for about 2/3 years now but I’ve been not so formally practiced and perceived in the realm of magic since childhood, I find this podcast to be a new amazing and informative asset to my research!!! If I could give this 10 stars I would still want to give 20!!!!

Wonderful words!!

Listening to this, I found there was a lot that I had some experience with. In terms of Astral projecting, I came to realize that my father had inadvertently taught me how to do it. He was raised Christian and told me it was his trick for beating his nightmares. as I discovered my spirituality I found I was able to use his trick to move dimensions. I would like to use this to experience past lives but I am currently pregnant and feeling nervous of this kind of travel with the baby.

great show
