The White Witch Podcast

In this episode, we meet Morana, the Slavic goddess of winter, death and necessary endings. She governs the season when the land grows quiet, when the sun weakens and when life turns inward. In traditional belief, winter marked a descent toward Nav the realm of the dead and Morana presided over this liminal threshold.

We explore her role in rites including the burning or drowning of her effigy to symbolically release winter and welcome renewal. We also look at her deeper associations with dark waters, rivers and crossings — spaces long understood as boundaries between worlds. As a goddess of necessary endings Morana speaks to grief, burnout, identity shifts and the pauses that precede transformation.

Our book review is Beyond Ayahuasca - Unlocking the Evolutionary Science of Indigenous Amazonian Wisdom to access your Highest Potential by Roman Hanis.

Hello Witches

This episode has been one of my favourites to research and was something I discovered last month whilst working on the Angels theme for my Patreon, The Hedge & Hollow.

In this episode I explore The Book of Raziel where language, timing, planets, angels and intention were understood as part of a single living system.

We look at the idea of words as vibration, sacred names and why the Hebrew letters were treated as energetic forces rather than symbols. I talk about how this tradition connects to the 72 Names of God, spell timing, planetary days and the correspondences modern witches still work with, often without realising how old these systems truly are (I know I had no idea!).

We also touch on the lineage that flows from Raziel through Adam, Enoch, Noah and Solomon and how this current eventually shaped medieval grimoires, Renaissance magic and later systems like the Golden Dawn.

There are so many future episodes to come off the back of this topic following the thread of King Solomon, The Rosicrucians, The Golden Dawn, Aleister Crowley and Boleskine Lodge.

Keep an eye out for my new House witch boxes dropping on my Etsy store The White Witch Company this week - ideal for New Year house cleanses, first of the month rituals, full or new moon rituals or as new house gift!
