Energy is the basis for the magick we weave, the spells we cast, and the way we connect with the world around us. Knowing how you perceive and interact with the energy of the world around you is a critical skill for anyone wanting to develop a witchcraft practice. Today, we learn some practical skills to start your journey with energy....

Sad episode update:

We will not have an episode out this week. Technically its our off week, so you were going to get an episode this weekend to get caught up and then another one next weekend to be back on a regular schedule - but the content we had recorded for this weekend just isn't up to our usual audio standards. Even though we owe you all an episode, it doesn't feel right to release this content in the state it's in.

So the plan is to re-record some parts and put it together to give you an awesome episode, like you're used to, that sounds good, too. And as an added bonus, we'll have some short bonus episodes coming as an apology and thank you for sticking with us - both for the general listening public and a couple special ones for Patreon supporters, too.

Honestly, we've been at this for almost a year, and we were complete noobs before starting this show, so the fact that our *first* technical glitches are just happening now is pretty impressive, I think!

We love you all very much, and thank you for sticking with us.

Ever wondered how to work with Faerie energy in your practice? Today, we're diving down that faerie ring and traversing the wylds to talk about what the fae are (and what they're not), learn where and how they came about, demystify superstitions, and introduce some (safe!) ways you can start developing a relationship. The Fae can be a powerful addition to your witchcraft - but it's not for the faint of heart....

Aradia is on her own this week (send some love to Liz!), but that's okay because we dive deep into the differences between coven witchcraft and eclectic stuff, pros and cons to both, and how to do each safely.

http://twobytorchlight.com/2022/07/10/ep16/

What are the pros and cons to eclectic witchcraft versus joining a tradition? How do you know what’s right for you, especially when you’re just starting out? How do you even go about finding a trad…

Buzzfeed. Beano. Pop Sugar. Brainfall. These are just a few of the websites promoting quizzes and listicles that will tell you what type of witch you’re destined to be. The belief around these cate…

Happy Pride month! Join us as we talk about the overlap between witchcraft and queerness, tips for de-gendering your energy and practice, and have story time where we talk about all the ways in which the gods were hella gay.

Have you ever felt like you're faking it?

Like you're not really a witch because you're not like the ones you see on social media?

Maybe because you haven't cast a spell in months, or pulled out your tarot cards, or you forget to leave your s**t under the full moon?

The most recent episode of Two By Torchlight is all about all the ways we fool ourselves into thinking we're less than. Don't listen to that monkey brain. You're awesome.

Better late than never! Which fits with the "realness" of today's episode, all about gatekeeping, imposter syndrome, and what it means to be a "real witch".

Hey friends - we need your help!

Lizryth is feeling a little under the weather (let's all send her healing vibes!) so I'll be recording this week's podcast episode on my own. We thought it would be fun to answer random questions, so that's where you come in!

Send us your questions about ANYTHING - witchcraft basics, sure, but it could also be the podcast, being a professional Witch, opinions on random stuff, what games Im currently playing, what we like for dinner - anything you're curious about! I'll answer a bunch on this week's episode, and we'd love to turn Ask A Witch into a regular segment, so keep the questions coming as you think of them.

You can put them here in comments or email [email protected].

I can't wait to see what you guys throw at me!

This week's episode is late - we've had a death in the family and are taking time to process and heal. Death is a part of life, and pausing to honor it is its own magick. We'll see you soon.
