Magia Carnis: The Magic of the Flesh (Part 2) | Halloween Special!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN ALL OF YOU HUNGRY WITCHES! Thank you for tuning in to this year's Big Fat Feminist Halloween Special!

If you’re new here, every Halloween I choose an aspect of the fantastical, fictional, Halloween witch and take a closer look at where it came from and what it means to very real witches and magical people today. This year we’re going full fairytale by talking about the kind of witch that might live in a house nestled in some deep, dark wild place, made entirely of… candy? That’s right, settle in for nearly 2 hours of Cannibal witches, black widows, folkloric monsters, ritual madness, mythological baddies, and the deep and painful hunger that lives inside us all.

These two episodes are not safe to share with young kids, sorry y'all, but fellow moms who are perhaps a bit worn out from this holiday will find a lot to love in this two part Halloween episode. But a word of warning!

This episode features conversations about death, meat, animal mating habits, racism and colonization as well as hunger, eating, dieting, fatphobia and health. A short warning will come on before this last section in case listening will put you at risk. Stay safe, friends.

I did a ton of research for this episode and I will be listing the sources on my website, but I want to mention one in particular. I was toying with the idea of talking about witches eating babies for this episode, but wasn’t sure if there was enough material there. Then I read a post by The Pale Horse about cannibal women in horror movies and the symbolism there and that really made everything click into place for me, so I highly recommend you read it and take some time … to digest it.
