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.

This week, Lisa and Sarah investigate the history of astrology and discuss what, if anything, is written in the stars.
They track astrology from its ancient origins to modern-day, AI-powered apps, check their own compatibility (will these two ever get married?), and invite us all to learn a little more about ourselves through our birth charts.
Whether you're witch-curious or a longtime practitioner, join these only-sometimes-skeptical explorers on their spiritual journey—this time, in the stars.
