• The Modern Crone: Season 7: The 21st Century Witch with That Glasgow Witch, G

  G is a Scottish witch, folk magic practitioner, and the voice behind @thatglasgowwitch on IG, where she shares wisdom on Scottish folk magic, creating your own Wheel of the Year, herbal traditions, and seasonal rituals. With over 25 years of practice, she weaves ancient practices into modern life, helping others reconnect with nature’s cycles and the magic of everyday moments.A passionate advocate for dispelling fear and misconceptions about witchcraft, she highlights how these practices are deeply rooted in ancestral wisdom, land-based spirituality, and everyday folk traditions. Her work focuses on practical, accessible magic, drawing from Scotland’s rich spiritual heritage. She grows, crafts, and integrates witchcraft into daily life and brings a deep reverence for ancestral wisdom, blending history, storytelling, and hands-on practice to inspire and empower others on their own spiritual path.Join us as G shares:Her upbringing just outside of Glasgow and the beautiful ancient historical pagan roots of the land; a childhood free from religious dogma and full of folk-magic and Jungian frames; how she found her way to intentional witchcraft and her divine understanding of witchcraft being a personal cultivation of powerful beliefs and practices rooted in animism, ancestry and deep listening. G lives to reclaim the title ‘witch’, from the legacy of the brutal burning times in Scotland and late repeal of the witchcraft act. Scouring the witch trail documents she finds the ancient Scottish practices of her ancestors and brings them back to life. Learn about her relationship with the Scottish goddesses the Cailleach and Brigitte and the gods and goddess of places, and why interest is growing in witchcraft, ritual and ceremonial gatherings in recent years. You can find out more about G here:www.thatglasgowwitch.comIGTikTokYouTubeThe Modern Crone team -Theme music and season intro tracks:Sam Joole www.samjoole.comCover design and photographyLuana Suciuhttps://www.instagram.com/luanasuciu/[email protected] Voice editing:Christopher Hales - Mask Music [email protected]

• The Modern Crone: Season 7: The 21st Century Witch with Rose Wolff

  Rose Wolff is a mother, poet, storyteller, and witch who lives in the Catskill Mountains of New York with her husband, daughter, son, cats, dog, and chickens. In their forest sanctuary and shamanic healing center, she tends the land spirits, communes with birds, trees, and fungi, and nurtures the unseen threads that weave all living things together. Her writing explores the intersection of spirituality, nature, and myth—the human journey unfolding against the backdrop of a society plagued by amnesia and fear. She has sensed magic her entire life, unknowingly searching for the ancient wisdom of her ancestors—wisdom that finally revealed itself through the threshold of new motherhood. Rose is an animist and practitioner of Northern European shamanism. She is also a trained RTT hypnotist and Crystal Dreaming practitioner. Before shifting her focus to motherhood and writing, Rose spent years working with children, founding a forest school in the Catskills and an online game world, The Wizard School, which interweaves myth, ancient wisdom, and magical practice for young seekers.Now, as she nurtures her 10-month-old daughter, Rose is also immersed in the creation of her first novel.You can learn more about Rose here:www.rosewollf.comThe Modern Crone team -Theme music and season intro tracks:Sam Joole: www.samjoole.comCover design and photographyLuana Suciuhttps://www.instagram.com/luanasuciu/[email protected] Voice editing:Christopher Hales - Mask Music [email protected]
