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.

7. Be Ridiculous
On this episode of the podcast, the topic is the importance of accepting that we're all ridiculous human beings and that's it's a good thing. Witchcraft should be done with a sense of play, and we should all keep that in mind before we take ourselves too seriously. Because when we take ourselves too seriously, none of us are remotely pleasant to be around. Doing witchcraft by rote isn't the best idea, gatekeeping is bad, and there's probably not a wrong way to do a spell. Unless you like light yourself on fire or something. Try not to do that.
