Welcome to The Bell Witch Podcast. 'Witching in the 21st Century'
This is a cosy 'MootLoot' chat with host Swailes and returning guest Laura May of The Ritual Kitchen, who shares her new independent Kickstarter project 'The Flora Obscura Tarot' and the enchanting floriography that inspires the deck. Laura talks about the secret messages concealed within flowers back in Victorian times and how all plants have their own folklore. Swailes askes intriguing questions about the cards, the process of creation and shines a light on how to back this fabulous witchy artist. 
There are a few exclusives and updates on Laura's upcoming projects and of course her longboat May Moon. This episode will make you smile.

Humanity will save us, the connection is the magic. A true story from Swailes. 17/09/2026

Welcome to a 'Solitary Witch' episode of The Bell Witch Podcast with Swailes the Friendly Green Witch. A show to get you 'Witching in the 21st Century' 
In this episode Swailes opens up about experiencing "awareness fatigue" and a emotional meltdown triggered by overwhelming world events and excessive mobile phone use. She shares practical steps she's taking to become more mindful, including reducing screen time, practicing morning pages, picking up creative hobbies like embroidery and weaving, and embracing daydreaming. She also recounts attending a transformative "One.Wild.Night" retreat at Nell Bank forest school in Ilkley, West Yorkshire, where a profound forest bathing experience helped her reconnect with nature and rediscover her witchy roots once more.
This episode is a personal offering shared with love and magic in hope to help listeners who are struggling with the state of the world, the endless distractions and the darkness of today.  It is a candid, poignant and unguarded episode shared to encourage human experience and connection.
