Howdy y'all and welcome to Sat Upon a Toadstool, a podcast on all thing witchcraft, crooked ways, and occultism. I am your host, Mahigan Saint-Pierre, and twice a month I sit down to discuss a topic dear to my heart, whether it is magic or commentary on occultism at large, and to answer listener questions. I am currently hanging out with the troll under the stone bridge that leads to the fairy glen — she doesn't speak English, but I'll be doing the talking for the both of us. Join us today for a conversation on what advanced witchcraft really is, and why none of us are truly "advanced witches".
In this episode:
The myth of the advanced practitioner
Commentary on the "baby witch" phenomenon
The importance of research, and its consequent unimportance
The basics
Basic energy work
Cultivation
Folk magic
Cultural context
The spirit work leap
The cookery metaphor
Shared personal gnosisComplicated vs effective, and meritocracy
Sat Upon a Toadstool is a lighthearted podcast dedicated to exploring the lived experience of Witchcraft through the lens of spirit relationship, folk magic, land veneration, and mediation between the world of the living and the next. Your host, Mahigan Saint-Pierre, is comfortably seated in increasingly odd corners of the woods chatting with god-knows-what critter as they sip on strange brews and chat about all things witchcraft, occult, and spiritual.
