Welcome to Are We Witches?
A podcast for the witch-curious and the skeptical, hosted by two witches-in-training, Lisa Marmur and Sarah Drummond.
We’re two friends diving headfirst into the enchanting world of modern witchcraft for the very first time. Together, we’ll explore magical realms, learn how to charge crystals, brew a little mischief, and maybe even tell the future. We have no idea what we’re doing (yet), but we’re here to document the journey—warts and all.
Our quest will take us through the history of witchcraft, unpacking its feminist, divine, beautiful, and problematic aspects. By understanding how magic shaped the world, we hope to uncover where magic still thrives today.
If magic is real, we’re here to find it.
So, are we witches? Are you?
Join us every second Tuesday by the cauldron as we brew up some tea and see where the magic takes us.
We couldn’t do it without you. Because, after all, it takes a village to raise a witch.

Ghosts never really go out of fashion, they just change platforms. Once they rapped on tables and floated in candlelight; now they flicker on YouTube and whisper through spirit boxes.
As spooky season begins, Lisa and Sarah ask: Are we witches…haunted?
From witch-ghosts in England, Scotland, and Salem to Houdini’s showdown with the Witch of Lime Street, they trace how women became history’s translators between worlds. Plus, a Ouija board experiment and a cemetery ritual for spooky season.
