    Beginner’s Guide to Rune Reading with Siri Vincent Plouff

    24/02/2026 | 56 mins.
    In this week's episode, we’re joined by Nordic witch, rune reader, and author of Queering the Runes, Siri Vincent Plouff, for a deep and delightfully bird-filled dive into runic magic. Siri shares the wild origin story of being claimed by Odin via the infamous “Minneapolis Murder” of crows, how that encounter led them into Heathenry, and what it really means to build a relationship with the runes as living spirits. 

    We unpack common misconceptions about Norse culture, hint it is more than just Viking bros and dreads, the impact of Christianization on the myths, and how Hollywood has flattened an incredibly rich and complex spiritual history.

    Most importantly, we explore what it means to queer the runes, both as an identity and as a verb. Siri breaks down gender fluidity and performance in Old Norse mythology, Loki’s shapeshifting chaos, Odin’s relationship to feminine magic, and how queering spiritual systems helps us break out of rigid, heteronormative frameworks. We also talk about ethical rune practice, avoiding white supremacist co-optation, and simple low spoon ways to incorporate runes into daily life, including body poses, pocket magic, and protection work. 

    Whether you’re rune curious or already in deep, this conversation will expand your understanding of Nordic magic and maybe even your definition of tradition itself.

    Eclipse Season Survival Guide [RERUN]

    17/02/2026 | 31 mins.
    If everything feels a little unhinged right now, emotionally tender, energetically loud, and slightly chaotic for no clear reason, welcome to eclipse season. This week, we’re pulling an episode from the archives because honestly, past us nailed it. Eclipse energy has a way of shaking things loose, amplifying feelings, and turning everyday life into a bit of a cosmic tornado, and we talk candidly about what that actually feels like instead of pretending it’s all graceful transformation.

    In this episode, we unpack Eclipse season as a catalyst for clarity, disruption, and necessary change, using personal stories, familiar metaphors, and a lot of very real laughter. We share the grounding, shielding, and cleansing practices we rely on when the vibes are wild, along with why mundane care and energetic boundaries matter more than pushing through or doing more magic. This is a funny, tender reminder that even when everything feels upside down, the point is finding your footing again and remembering the magic lives inside you.

    10/02/2026 | 53 mins.
    Love is in the air… but we’re not here to hex your ex. This Valentine’s Day, we’re breaking down ethical love spells, how to call in aligned love without manipulating anyone’s free will. We talk about why focusing on attributes, not a specific person, changes everything, how standards are the real magic, and Madison shares her 100-qualities list method plus the candle spell that helped her meet her partner Drew.
    We also dive into self-love as the foundation of any love working, from affirmation science and smile psychology to infusing skincare, lotion and glamour magic with intention.

    Magic to Melt the ICE: Mundane & Magical Ways to Fight Back

    03/02/2026 | 38 mins.
    The world feels heavy right now, so we’re doing what we know how to do and pairing real-world action with real magic. We speak directly about ICE, immigration raids, and the fear impacting our communities. We share practical, accessible ways to take action, donating (yes, even $1 matters), supporting mutual aid, divesting from harmful corporations, and showing up for local elections. 
    Small, consistent action is powerful, and your voice carries more weight than you think.
    We also move into the magic sharing different rituals and spells that can help in these uncertain times, from protection candles for those being targeted, amplification sigils for advocacy work, freezer spells to Reiki practices to send support where it’s needed most. Tune in for grounded activism, protective spellwork, and tangible ways to show up for your neighbors.
