Our quest to sharpen those critical thinking skills returns with a lesson from none other than Daylina Miller, NPR journalist, LGBTQ+ activist, and CritWitchCon veteran. We chat about fact-checking in witchcraft spaces, red flags to watch out for, how to vet resources, and where to go to find good information in a world full of AI, SEO, and an endless parade of tiktoks and memes.
(Technical issues in this episode led to some crackling and distortion during parts of the audio. It’s all still audible, just letting the listener know in case of sensory or auditory processing issues.)

The pod gets cosmic as Alisha Abdelilah of Soul Riot LLC joins the chat to talk about her approach to astrology - a refreshingly down-to-earth attitude that focuses on personal gifts and self-improvement, rather than the nebulous woo-speak of pop horoscopes. This month, we’re blaming it ALL on the retrograde!

As so many of us are watching the weather reports with no small amount of anxiety, I sat down with my good buddy Marci (aka StormBornWitch from tumblr) to talk about her particular brand of weather magic and how a weather witch gets things down in a biome that looks very little like the one upon which the ubiquitous Wheel of the Year is based.

(It's more likely than you think....)
Welcome back, witches! We’re diving back into things with another classic collaboration between your friendly neighborhood Witchstorian and everyone’s favorite curmudgeon and host of BS-Free Witchcraft, Trae Dorn. Feeling the weight of our years just a LITTLE bit, we sit down to discuss the stubborn traces of Satanic Panic rhetoric that still linger in the modern witchcraft movement. Not in external gossip or talking-head suppositions, but in the internal discussions that witches maintain in live spaces and especially on social media. Tune in to hear a couple of weary elder millennials ramble about alleged devil worship, community paranoia, and how much it irritates us when people don’t know their own history.
Remember, witches - you are not immune to propaganda.

Lozzie’s back, friends and neighbors! And this month, we’re sitting down to talk about everybody’s favorite coven - the Witches of Lancre, from Discworld. Longtime fans of the show have heard the works of Sir Terry Pratchet (RIP) and the wisdom of Granny Weatherwax quoted many times on the show, but what other lessons might the Lancre coven have for us over the course of their many odysseys, quests, holidays, and general mucking about? (Tangents include which fantasy character is Legolas’ hot grimy dad, why certain tourists are so bloody annoying when they go abroad, which Discworld quote made Lozzie snarf tea out her nose, and what Bree and the sainted Sir Terry’s origin stories have in common.)
If you love Discworld, this episode is for you. If you’ve never heard of Discworld or are only passing familiar, consider this your introduction. Bit late for the Glorious 25th of May, but all the same - Here’s to Truth, Justice, Freedom, Reasonably Priced Love, and a Hard-Boiled Egg!

It’s the fourth anniversary special and somebody turned Bree and Lozzie loose on another piece of occult history! This month, your intrepid host and everyone’s favorite horrible goose sit down in the virtual studio to discuss the history and tenets of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. And to the surprise of absolutely no one, things go off the rails rather quickly. If you consume beverages with your podcasts, do so with caution!
Thank you all for coming with me on this ride so far. Looking forward to the next chapter!

Returning once more to the topic of protection magic, this month we’re delving a little deeper into the topic of wards and warding. Bree shares some insight on the methods and concepts that she’s developed and discovered over the years, and shares a Witchcraft 201 level primer on some slightly more advanced warding techniques.
(If you haven’t heard Ep. 024 “Warding A Witchy Home,” make sure you check that out before listening to this episode!)

Bree is joined in the virtual studio by Annika Hylmö, documentarian and director of the forthcoming film THE LAST WITCH. The film tells the story of a Massachusetts middle school Civics class and their campaign to secure exoneration for the last unpardoned victim of the Salem witch trials, Elizabeth Johnson Jr. It’s a poignant story about history, connection, and why seeking justice matters, even when it comes three hundred years late. Also discussed are the historical circumstances surrounding the Salem witch panic and how the twin specters of bullying and rumor-mongering haunt our communities today just as much as they did in 1692.
Make sure you follow THE LAST WITCH on Instagram for updates and check out the full project details on their website. Additional media and articles on the documentary and the campaign to pardon Elizabeth Johnson Jr. are in the full show notes on my Wordpress.
I'd like to extend my sincere thanks to Annika and her producer Dawn Green for helping me produce this episode, and I hope that it helps to bring more visibility to the project.

(Sorry for the lateness of the episode, there were some technical difficulties to fix and a very sick Producer Penny to care for, but thankfully both are all better now. Thank you for your patience!)
This month, we delve into the concept of familiars and familiar spirits, both in the context of folklore and witch trials, and what the term means to modern witches. Bree disagrees with social media witch culture (some more) and tells a few stories of the witchcats in her own life. (Unfortunately, Creative Director Havoc and Producer Penny could not be reached for comment.)

Happy New Year, witches! While we’re recovering from the mad rush of the holiday season, I’m sitting down with returning friend of the show Jenn the Ouija Girl and new pal from the tumblrverse Lorelei Rivers to both drink AND the spill the tea on those ghost-hunting grifters we all love to despise, Ed and Lorraine Warren.
Discussions about the careers and rhetoric of the Warrens make the rounds regularly in discussions about the paranormal among members of the witchcraft community. But who were the Warrens? Why do they inspire such ire even as the Conjuring franchise gains steam? How much of what we think we know about the supernatural comes from them? And why is it important to recognize - and refute - their rhetoric when we encounter it?
This Month's Guest Hosts -
Jenn - The Ugly Kitchen, ASMR Geographica on YouTube, TheOuijaGirl.tumblr.com
Lorelei - CrazyCatSiren.tumblr.com

BAH HUMBUG! The annual onslaught of holiday music has begun, we’re all up to our necks in consumerism, and the glitter is EVERYWHERE. Thankfully, there’s refuge from the mad rush here on Hex Positive, where I cozy up with my CritWitchCon buddy Ana Mor to talk about fun and witchy folklore from the holiday season! Most of the stories come from Catholicism, with a smattering of pre-Christian figures thrown in. We’re briefly interrupted by Ezra the Cat and some minor technical difficulties, but what’s a holiday party without a few awkward moments, right?
Stay tuned to my social media for information about the next CritWitchCon free Brew event and visit CriticalThinkingWitches.com for forthcoming announcements about our 2024 gathering!

Here it is - the episode you’ve all been waiting for! CritWitchCon 2023 was an absolute blast and Lozzie and I made the most of it with another LIVE episode of The Stardust Sessions. And as you may have inferred, the title of said panel was, “Bree and Lozzie Ruin Everything.” We each picked a topic which is taken for granted as Gospel Truth by certain segments of the witchcraft community and set about tearing those assumptions to shreds.
For those of you who might be interested in future Critical Thinking Witches online gatherings and virtual events, please visit http://criticalthinkingwitches.com for announcements, scheduling, and contact information.

There’s a chill in the breeze, the leaves are turning, the pumpkins are grinning, it’s time for SPOOKY SEASON! Accordingly, I’ve brewed up a special surprise for all my witches and horror fans out there. This month’s episode is a crossover with Queerdo Babes From The Horror Pod-O-Rama, hosted by the absolutely fabulous Murphy Lawless. We sat down for a nice long chat about depictions of witches and witchcraft in horror cinema. And since there are far too many examples for just one episode, we narrowed it down to a few choice flicks - Häxan (1922), Eyes of Fire (1983), The Craft (1996), Practical Magic (1998), and The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016). (Spoilers abound!)
Make sure you check out Queerdo Babes From The Horror Pod-O-Rama for an ALTERNATE version of this episode and follow the show on Instagram and your favorite podcatcher!
