We get dark in the most light-hearted way with comedian Lloyd "EpicLloyd" Ahlquist ("Epic Rap Battles of History" on YouTube) as we dive into life, death, and how we humans get caught up in the Paradox of Choice. We chat with the self-described "Epicurean" about how men are like taxis, how Lloyd got duped by a psychic, and why Leah can never date a guy named "Ryan". In closing, Leah and Rachel give EpicLloyd (@theepiclloyd) a Goddess Oracle Card reading and the future is lookin' bright.

Watch out, ladies and gents - we got a spooky b*tch in the stu, Pro Witch Kira von Sutra! Not shy of the occult, Kira shares with us what it's like to serve a dark Pagan goddess. In her case: the Morrigan. We learn the truth about fairies, touch on psychic mindmelds, and the new discoveries behind Quantum Entanglement. Also, Kira tells us all about the demon that lived in her house! Keep your mouth shut so that demons won't enter through you, but keep your ears open for Kira's Tarot tips for beginners. In closing, Kira (@kiravonsutra) gives both Rachel and Leah a tarot card reading!

Writer/performer and co-host of Weed & Grub podcast Mary Jane Gibson is a highlarious Goddess who radiates with love, laughter, and warmth. Do you believe there is a beyond, or is it just in our brains? As Leah puts it so profoundly, perhaps they are one in the same. We get fiery talking about Burning Man, astrology, WikiFeet, and what happens to us after we die. Oh, and we were blazin' it up, so you're welcome for all the highdeas on the Universe. In closing, Leah and Rach give Mary Jane (@thisismaryjane_) a Goddess Oracle Card reading.

Lores and legends, secret societies, and the real-life occult… these are a few of Darren Bousman's favorite things! Roast some marshmallows ‘cause Darren has some spooky stories that’ll make you feel like we’re sitting around a campfire! From his big break directing Saw II, III, and IV to life as a father, we dive deep into the darkness of demons and the light of magic. We know that we don’t know anything and each Leah, Rach, and Darren profess that the power of life lies in staying out of your comfort zone. In closing, Leah and Rachel give Darren a Goddess Oracle Card reading.

Your favorite baby witches are joined by mama witch/comedian/burlesque dancer/musician/QUEEN, Natasha Estrada for one of our most feel-good eps yet. Quite literally, we talk about feeling yourself physically and emotionally. We take a trip talking about psychedelics, ritual baths, the art of Tapping, and the hippie Canadian commune Natasha was raised in. Leah gets caught having sex, Natasha is crushing hard on Danny Devito, Rach continues opening up about being open, and guess what? They’re all proud of it. In closing, Rach and Leah give Natasha (@natashaestrada) a Goddess Oracle Card reading.

Remember how we used to be able to watch a movie and *not* feel bad about being “unproductive”? Hilarious actor/writer Santina Muha tells us what she learned from being hospitalized for months as a kid: it’s okay to slow down and just color! Leah totally gets it ‘cuz rehab was like her summer camp. This episode is all about The Secret and the stars! From Santina crossing over and talking to God after a near-death accident, to manifesting meeting her #1 celebrity crush, to finding the parallels of fame and life in a wheelchair. In closing, Leah and Rachel give Santina (@santinamuha) a rare *TRIPLE* Goddess Oracle Card Reading you won’t believe yet can’t deny!
Note: Unbeknownst to us, we had a microphone issue so Rach is a little hard to hear, but we promise it is a good convo! Please still love us. Please? PLEEEEASE!!

Your fav bb witches are joined by sexy self-love practicing stand-up comic & singer/songwriter Morgan Jay. After he serenades us (Swoon City!), we break-down his broody, brash, and hilarious lyrics and the moments in his life that inspired them. Rach and Leah chat with Morgan about the importance of dressing well as self-care, the after(life)-effects of ghosting, and we get a much-delayed update on Leah's (ex*) lover. In closing, Leah and Rachel give Morgan (@morganjay) a Goddess Oracle Card reading.
Note: Unbeknownst to us, we had a microphone issue so there's a rolling static, but we promise it is a good convo! Please still love us. Please? PLEEEEASE!!

'Tis the season... flu season! And how appropriate you'll hear Rachel's cough drop for the entire episode, so you're welcome for those ASMR tingles! Synchronistically, Leah and Rach are joined by writer Stephanie Mickus who grew up with serious Crohn's disease, has been in and out of hospitals, and even went on a Make-A-Wish patronage to holy water. We chat about how sickness can affect your self-worth, EDMR therapy, Pocket Mantras, visceral organ manipulation, Radical Aliveness Core Energetics therapy, and of course, her movie she wrote, "Hope Springs Eternal" (streaming now on Netflix!!). In closing, we give Stephanie (@smickable) a Goddess Oracle Card reading... until an evil spirit intervenes and puts a stop to it.

Leah and Rachel kick it in the stu with actor/writer and host of the Kinda Dating podcast, Natasha Chandel, for another enlightening episode. In this ep, we myth-bust the Salem Witch Trials, learn about Natasha's healing hands, how #MeToo has improved the "casting couch" culture in India, and Rachel's body gets possessed!!!! ...by the flu. Natasha tells us you know everything you need to know about a partner in Week One... but of course, we'll pretend we didn't hear that and just cruise past those red flags. Oopsies! In closing, Leah gives Natasha (@natashachandel) a Goddess Oracle Card reading where we get revisited by a very *focused* (and clearly persistent) Goddess.
