Willow Wings Witch Shop - June 2025 Newsletter

Visit The Shop June is here and despite everything, we fly our colors high. This year more than any other, I’m reminded that witchcraft is inherently an act of rebellion and that the trappings of my craft include dirt in my nails and a brick in my hand.  Here in the Willow Wings Witch Shop, we stand with our friends and neighbors in the LGBTQ+ community, this month and every month, and honor…

Hex Positive, Ep. 055 - Fact-Checking In Witchcraft Spaces with Daylina Miller

Now available on your favorite listening app!

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.)

Make sure you check out more tips from Daylina on their substack: DaylinaMiller.substack.com.

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.

December Episode Delay

Greetings, witches!

Sorry for the delay in the December episode. Our house is currently without properly-working heat and I've had to spend every spare minute battling our home warranty company to try and get it fixed or even serviced at all.

I'm still going to try and get something up this month, along with the new shop merch and discount code, I just don't know when that's going to happen. Real life has to take precedent, seeing as I've got my family and two kitties to keep warm as the temperature is plummeting into the 20s F every night now.

Stay tuned for updates and thank you for your patience!

Now available on your favorite podcast app and on the Nerd and Tie Podcast Network!

So this month, Bree welcomes Mara Levy to the virtual studio for a discussion about ogham - its’ history and meaning and use in both ancient and modern magic. (Perennial notetakers will want to have pencils handy when we talk about the kennings!)

Hey Friends and Neighbors

Sorry the pod is late this month. Quite understandably, my mental health has not been great the past couple of weeks. (Also my laptop cord broke yesterday because WHY NOT KICK A WITCH WHEN SHE'S DOWN.)

The new episode will be out just as soon as I can get a new cord and finish editing. For a little sneak peek, you'll want those notebooks handy, because I had my new friend Mara Levy come on the show to talk about the history of ogham and its' applications in modern magic. The research rabbit hole potential of the kennings alone will blow your mind!

I'll have the shop newsletter out later this week as well, and there will be merch drops on schedule. Just wait til you see the new varieties of Full Moon jars, they're really stunning!

Thank you for your patience. I'm going to get back into my work and try to keep moving forward and surviving out of sheer spite. If anybody wants to come with me, you're more than welcome.

Love from Your Friendly Neighborhood Witchstorian,

Bree

Hex Positive, Ep. 049 - Satanic Panic? In MY Witchcraft Community? (with Trae Dorn)

Now available on the Nerd & Tie Podcast Network and your favorite podcatcher!

(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.

Hex Positive, Ep. 047 - What My Granny (Weatherwax) Taught Me

Now available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major platforms!

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 Pratchett (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!
