65. Hocus Pocus (1993)
It's time to dig back into the VHS tapes that you've shoved in a box in your basement (or just open Disney Plus), and talk about the classic witch-centric movie Hocus Pocus (1993). Hex Positive's Bree NicGarran joins Trae this month for an indepth look at this Halloween movie... in November. But c'mon, we all know it's Halloween year round in these parts.

53. Modern Witchcraft History (at CritWitchCon 2022)
This episode of BS-Free Witchcraft is actually a panel from CritWitchCon 2022 this last October. Spend an hour with Alex Wrekk, Bree NicGarran, Lozzie Stardust and myself as we talk about the history of modern witchcraft. Also you get to listen to me speed run like 130 years of history in under five minutes. It's a lot of fun, and I think you'll like it.

34. Paganing in Public
On this episode, I sit down with Hex Positive's Bree NicGarran to talk about openly being a Witch in the modern world. How accepted are witches really these days? What challenges do we face being open about our craft? What are the odds that an old lady with a murder-van is going to harass you in a gas station parking lot? ...they're surprisingly good apparently.

29. The Craft Legacy (2020)
Earlier this year, Hex Positive's Bree NicGarran and I sat down to talk about the 1996 movie The Craft. It was a hugely influential film for a whole generation of witches, and surprisingly holds up well. So, needless to say, when the long awaited sequel/remake The Craft: Legacy came out on Video On Demand last month, we knew we needed to sit down and talk about it. So we did. For two hours.

28. Let’s Get SPOOKIER!
It's Halloween. Like, literally. And like every other October episode on the BS-Free Witchcraft podcast, that means we're talking about personal ghost experiences. Joining me this episode (from all around the Nerd & Tie Podcast Network) are Gen Prock (from The Nerd & Tie Podcast and Stormwood & Associates), Cris Sass-Council (from Let's Be Legendary), and unsurprisingly Bree NicGarran (from Hex Positive). This jam-packed episode is the longest one we've done, coming in at just over two and a half hours long. It's super sized, super spooky, and super fun.

24. The Craft (1996)
It's strange to think that a 90s teenage horror/urban fantasy film would be massively culturally important to the modern witchcraft movement, but for a generation of witches that's exactly what The Craft is. In this super long episode of the podcast (seriously -- it's almost an hour and a half), I sit down with Hex Positive's Bree NicGarran for a chat about the film. We tackle the themes, plot, and cultural impact of this movie, along with some fun tangents along the way.

17. Older Doesn’t Mean Better
I got a question in my inbox from a listener asking if whether or not knowing a lot of Wicca was created less than a hundred years ago made it feel less legitimate. It's an interesting question, and whether or not something being more "established" makes it more "real" is something I thought we should tackle. Also, there's a tiny bit more of that interview with author Bree NicGarran from last episode that serendipitously applied (that was cut), so I've included it here.

16. Let’s Get Spooky (Again)! ft. Bree NicGarran
It's that spooky time of year again. With Halloween and Samhain coming up in a few days, it's time to talk about ghost stories again. This time around I'm joined by the author of Grovedaughter Witchery: Practical Spellcraft and The Sisters Grimmoire Bree NicGarran as we talk about our personal experiences with the paranormal. Like last year, this is an extended, hour long episode. Oh, and I complain about deer for a minute in there. Because deer are annoying.
