Between 3 Witches - Witchcraft in plain sight

In this episode of Between Three Witches, we’re joined by Elwynn, also known as The Antlered Crown, for a fascinating conversation about traditional witchcraft, folklore, animism and our relationship with the land.
We explore what it means to build a practice rooted in observation rather than performance, how spirits of place and ancestral wisdom can shape modern witchcraft, and why reconnecting with the land is about far more than collecting correspondences.
We also laugh a whole lot this episode, because witchcraft
doesn't need to be serious all the time!
Expect honest conversation, differing perspectives and, of course, a rather revealing round of Keep It or Cut It.
Come and sit with us as we explore a wilder, more rooted way of practising witchcraft, and ask what the land might already be trying to teach us.
Featuring:
Gayle — The Witch Next Door
Vikkie — The Wheelie Green Witch
The Anonymous Witch
Special guest Elwynn — The Antlered Crown

What if the animal that keeps appearing in your life isn’t there to give you a spiritual identity, but to begin a relationship?
In this bonus Word From the Witches episode, Gayle, The Witch Next Door, explores animal spirit guides, meaningful encounters and the subtle ways nature may already be communicating with you.
Rather than searching online for the meaning of every fox, robin or crow, Gayle asks a more grounded question:
What is nature trying to teach you through this encounter?
In this episode, we explore:
Why humans have always looked to animals as teachers and messengers.
The difference between an animal guide and a temporary sign.
Why repetition, timing and behaviour matter.
How your emotional response can reveal the meaning of an encounter.
Why the most important animal isn’t always the most impressive one.
How spiders, ants, pigeons and other everyday creatures can carry powerful lessons.
The different ways animals may appear through dreams, meditation and recurring encounters.
How to distinguish meaningful patterns from encounters we simply want to be signs.
Why observing an animal’s natural behaviour matters more than searching a correspondence list.
How to build a respectful relationship with the natural world without forcing spiritual experiences.
This isn’t an episode that will tell you which animal belongs to you. It is an invitation to slow down, observe and notice which creatures continue to find you, and what they may be reflecting back.
Because perhaps the real magic isn’t discovering your spirit animal.
Perhaps it’s remembering that humans were never separate from nature in the first place.
Between Three Witches, witchcraft in plain sight, everyday magic lived honestly.

Where does tradition end—and where does living folk magic begin?
In this episode of Between Three Witches, Gayle, The Witch Next Door, Vikkie, The Wheelie Green Witch, and ANON, The Anonymous Witch, explore whether witchcraft becomes less authentic when it adapts to modern life.
Can supermarket herbs be as magical as something you’ve foraged? Can a slow cooker become a modern cauldron? Are tarot apps, Zoom rituals, digital grimoires and online covens genuine forms of witchcraft—or are we becoming disconnected from the roots of the craft?
We discuss:
Wax candles versus electric candles.
Foraged herbs versus shop-bought ingredients.
Handwritten grimoires versus digital ones.
Tarot apps, AI and technology in witchcraft.
Apartment, balcony and accessible witchcraft.
Everyday superstitions that are really forms of folk magic.
Modern rituals hidden inside cleaning, skincare, coffee and clothing.
Whether disability, money, location or time make someone’s practice less valid.
The difference between preserving tradition and preventing a living practice from evolving.
We also answer a listener question from Sarah Hevlin: Which books would we recommend to someone beginning their witchcraft journey?
Witchcraft has always adapted to the people, places and tools available to it. So perhaps the real question isn’t whether your practice looks traditional enough—but whether it carries meaning, intention and a genuine connection to your life.
Come and sit with us for an honest conversation about tradition, accessibility and what it means to practise witchcraft in plain sight.

Until next time, may your practice meet you exactly where you are.

In this episode, Vikkie, The Wheelie Green Witch, takes us into the world of folk magic… the kind of magic rooted in the hands, the home, the hedgerow, and the generations before us.
This is the magic of ordinary things becoming sacred through intention.
From herbs hanging in kitchens to knots tied with purpose and poppets crafted with care, Vikkie explores the history, meaning, and practical roots of folk practices that have survived quietly through time.
We talk about:
🌿 Traditional herb magic & working with local plants
🪢 Knot magic and weaving intention into every tie
🕯 The history and symbolism of poppets
🌲 Why folk magic was often born from necessity, not aesthetics
✨ How simple practices can become deeply powerful
There’s something deeply comforting about this episode.
It feels less like “performing witchcraft” and more like remembering something ancient and familiar sitting quietly beneath everyday life.
If you’ve ever felt drawn to old ways, practical magic, or the wisdom hidden in ordinary objects, this episode will absolutely speak to you.

This week on Between 3 Witches, we are joined by the wonderfully chaotic, hilarious, and deeply insightful Ambrosia ✨
We dive into the side of witchcraft that often gets lost beneath aesthetics and trends… the grounded, lived practice beneath it all.
From astrology and planetary magic to overcomplicating spellwork, growing out of old beliefs, and what a “real” spiritual practice actually looks like behind closed doors, this episode feels like sitting around the table with witches who aren’t afraid to be honest about the path.
We talk about:🌙 Building a more grounded practice in the age of social media🔮 Astrology, planetary energy & crystal work🕯 Things we’ve completely outgrown in our craft🌿 Why witchcraft doesn’t need to be complicated to be powerful✨ The invisible parts of practice people rarely talk about🔥 Our Keep It or Cut It segment returns… with some very difficult choices
And honestly… there are moments in this episode that had us crying laughing.
But underneath the humour is a really important conversation about authenticity, intuition, and reconnecting with the heart of the craft.
So whether you’re brand new to witchcraft, quietly rebuilding your practice, or years into your path, there is something in this episode for you.
And if you’ve ever sat there thinking:“Am I even a real witch?”
