You can buy a crystal necklace or a stamped “talisman” online, but it won’t hold power until you put it to work. In this episode, we break down the real difference between a charm, an amulet, and a talisman not by definition, but by use. From pocket-worn coins to hidden scripture scraps and bone bundles carried against the skin, we talk about how magical objects don’t come pre-enchanted they become powerful through touch, sweat, fear, prayer, and being carried through real life. If it’s not worn down, it’s not working it’s just décor.

Everyone’s talking about “quantum manifestation” and “AI ascension,” like witchcraft suddenly needs Wi-Fi to be valid. In this episode, Sammie breaks down the techno-spiritual hype, from people channeling chatbots to witches using algorithms for divination, and asks the real question: Is this evolution, or just another shiny distraction?
Expect sarcasm, science, and a reminder that the magic isn’t in your phone. It’s in you.

Wicca’s getting dragged on WitchTok again this time for being racist, appropriated, or just plain outdated. But is it really that simple? In this episode, we take a hard look at Gerald Gardner’s colonial baggage, the real roots of Wicca, and where cultural appropriation actually shows up in modern witchcraft. We’ll cut through the noise, define appropriation clearly, and talk about how Wiccans today can practice in ways that are ethical, respectful, and real.
This isn’t about canceling Wicca it’s about unlearning the blind spots and reclaiming the parts of the tradition worth keeping.

Everyone's rushing to Samhain, but the most potent magic of the season is happening right now. This is the forgotten time: the weird, quiet, liminal space after the Equinox but before the veil-ripping chaos.
Forget the aesthetic rush to the next holiday. This episode is about the real, hard work of the waning season. We dive into the unglamorous but crucial work of Maintenance Magic: clearing out the stagnant energy of summer, recharging your wards, and properly disposing of old spell remains.
This isn't about fluffy rituals; it's about Witchy Practicality. We show you how to use the quieter autumn dusk for simple Ancestor Listening and dream work, preparing you for the deep darkness ahead. Learn what you need to be doing now—like collecting the last viable herbs and stocking up your witch's toolkit—to ensure you survive the winter.
Your magic doesn't have to run on the commercial calendar. This is a show for witches who know that the power is in the slow, intentional exhale and the dirt under your nails, not the glitter. Slow down, get to work, and stop rushing your craft.

The Quiet Between the Festivals
This is my favorite time of year, not for the rituals, but for the work. This is the season when I personally feel the magic intensify, when my senses sharpen, and my spirit awakens.
In this episode, I'm taking you into my own practice for the post-equinox season. I'll talk about how I use this time to harvest the spiritual seeds I've sewn throughout the year, reflecting on the lessons learned and the energy spent. This is also when I feel most connected to my ancestors, a time when the veil thins and their presence feels close. I'll share how I honor their energy and how it fuels some of my most powerful workings of the year.
This isn't about celebrating the holiday; it's about celebrating the cycle. It's about why the witch's favorite season is often when the light begins to fade, because that is when the real magic begins.

Everyone wants to be a witch these days. But what about the ones who kept the craft alive in secret, in shadow, and under fire? In this episode, I am pulling back the glittery veil of WitchTok and “starter kits” to talk about the real history of witchcraft’s survival.
From the repeal of the Witchcraft Act in 1951 and the rise of Wicca in the 1960s, to the Satanic Panic of the 80s, and the trend-driven witch surge of today, we’ll trace how witchcraft keeps cycling through pop culture. We’ll also examine what gets lost in the noise. This is a call to respect: for the witches who risked their freedom, for the elders who kept the flame lit when it was not safe, and for the unnamed folk witches who healed, protected, and endured.
If you have ever wondered what it really means to claim the word “witch,” this episode will challenge you to go deeper than hashtags and crystal bundles.

This episode is a field guide for the city-dwelling witch. In a world that prizes silence and serene nature for magic, we're smashing that idea and finding power in the urban jungle. This isn’t a guide on how to get away from the city; it’s a guide on how to get down with it.
Join us as we explore how to embrace the chaos, turning the city's pulse into a source of power. Learn to find your sacred allies in crows and pigeons, and your tools in the discarded grit, glass, and iron of the streets. This episode will show you how to listen for the magic in a world that never stops and how to craft spells with the raw, vibrant energy that's already all around you.

This episode smashes the glass on the crystal ball. In a world of shiny new tarot decks, we're getting back to the raw, unfiltered truth of divination. This isn't about buying a tool; it's about learning to see the messages the universe is already sending you. Join us as we explore the primal methods of our ancestors: scrying in a bowl of dark water, reading the omens carried by the wind, and finding wisdom in the messy sediment of your morning coffee. Tune in to learn how to trust your gut and see the magic in the everyday world.
Ever notice how witchy spaces don’t always feel the same? On this episode, I share my trip to Michigan and how stepping into a crystal shop there felt free, relaxed, and judgment-free nlike the heavy, watchful vibe I get walking into similar shops in the Bible Belt. We’ll discuss how regional culture influences spiritual spaces, what it means to practice witchcraft in a place where “someone’s always watching,” and why it's essential to create spaces that feel safe and welcoming.

In this episode, I sit down with my daughter, yes, my daughter who happens to be a Christian. Not the preachy, door-knocking kind, but the kind who genuinely chose her path without pressure, guilt trips, or holy threats.
We talk about what it’s like to coexist under one roof when one of us rolls with Jesus and the other rolls herbs. From family dynamics to religious trauma, personal choice to mutual respect, this episode dives into how we’ve built a relationship rooted in love, not conversion. Spoiler: nobody got burned at the stake
In this episode, we're diving into the wild, tangled roots of folk cosmology. What does it mean to see the world through a magical lens shaped by land, stars, ancestors, and spirits? We're not talking textbook science or big religion. This is the kind of cosmology built from dirt under your nails and stories whispered by firelight. We'll explore how different cultures mapped the unseen world, how those views shaped their rituals, and how it all ties into the ways modern witches and magical folks still work today. This is for anyone who’s ever felt like the wind carried a message or that the moon was watching. Come get cosmic in the most earthy way possible.
Welcome to the Busted Broom Podcast. I’m Samantha G, and in this episode, we’re diving into what it feels like when a loved one reaches through the veil. I’m sharing a personal story, and we’ll discuss how to stay open, present, and aware when spirit moves, without chasing clichés or second-guessing your intuition. Real talk, raw grief, that meets you where you are.

Mad? Excellent. That’s magic fuel.
In this episode of Busted Broom, Samantha G. pulls no punches on using anger in witchcraft the kind of raw, petty, protective magic your ancestors knew by heart. Learn how to turn your rage into spellwork that works: from freezer jars and mirror flips to cord-cutting and piss jars (yes, we’re going there).
This is folk magic for the over-it, the burnt-out, the boundary-setting witches who are done asking nicely.
If you’ve ever wondered if you’re “too emotional” to do magic his one’s for you.

We are talking about sympathetic magic!
Ever lit a green candle for money or tucked a love note into an apple? Congratulations—you’re already doing sympathetic magic. In this episode, we dive broom-first into the ancient art of using symbols, stand-ins, and sacred side-eye to make real-world change. We’ll break down homeopathic vs. contagious magic, give you gritty, practical spells (including one with a sock and zero shame), and show you how the Summer Solstice supercharges your spellwork.
Welcome, witches. I’m Samantha — part-time spell-slinger, full-time realist.
And this… is the Busted Broom Podcast.
If you’ve listened before, you might remember this space as Where’s My Witches At. But over time, just like the path we walk, this podcast has grown and changed. The name didn’t quite fit where we were headed.
So here we are, busted Broom. Because life, magic, and spirituality aren’t picture-perfect. They’re cracked, crooked, evolving, and still powerful.
If your broom’s a little busted, your cauldron’s been through a few fires, and you’re still showing up anyway, this space is for you.
I’m not here to play guru or tell you there’s one right way. I’m walking this path too imperfectly, honestly, with you.
So if that speaks to your soul, and hit follow
On this episode of Where's my Witches at, with Samantha G
Ever wonder why your spell didn’t work even though you did everything right? In this episode of Where’s My Witches At, we’re going deep into the real reasons your magic might be falling flat. Spoiler alert: it’s not the moon phase or your missing herb. It might be fear, doubt, or energetic misalignment.We’ll talk about:How self-sabotage shows up in spellworkWhat split intentions are and how they block resultsWhy fear of receiving is a hidden energy leakHow to align your energy before casting againThis episode is for witches, spiritual seekers, and magical misfits who are ready to stop blaming their spell tools and start doing the deeper inner work. If you're looking for real talk on energy, intention, shadow work, and how to make your magic work, you’re in the right coven. Tune in, light a candle, and let’s get witchy.
In this episode, we’ll talk about the magic of letting go specifically letting go of old beliefs, practices, and habits that no longer serve you on your spiritual journey. Whether it’s a particular ritual, a limiting belief about what you “should” be doing, or even people who don’t align with your path anymore, sometimes the most powerful thing you can do for your practice is release. We’ll explore how letting go creates space for growth, new wisdom, and deeper self-awareness.
Where’s My Witches At is returning with more of what this journey’s about:Not the trending aesthetics. Not what the algorithm says makes you a “real witch.”This season? We’re getting back to our roots literally.More manifestation that works because it’s personal.More spells made from what’s in your junk drawer, not a $50 wish list on Amazon.More healing, learning, and unlearning.We’re talking herbs, weeds, the wild things growing outside your door, and how they heal body, mind, and spirit.We’re digging into what a plant does in nature and what it teaches in magic.It’s not about being popular.It’s about being present with your path and power.
Welcome to "Where's My Witches At." In this episode, we take a closer look at the WitchTok community on TikTok, examining its near disappearance in the United States due to recent bans. We also discuss the significance of the "Rule of Three," a common tenet in Wiccan traditions, and encourage viewers to embrace their own beliefs, regardless of conventional norms. This episode aims to provide insight into the evolving landscape of witchcraft and the importance of personal interpretation. #WitchCommunity #Witchcraft #RuleOfThree
