I am highly encouraged by the Mystic’s Witch new intention to feature practitioners of color more on the podcast. She seems completely committed to social justice and the ways magic and witch community can be used to help fix the problems of our society, and I fully applaud that. However, I would especially encourage her to first learn from actual Jewish witches about anti-semitism before saying things like the tarot devil card isn’t anti-semitic, of that the Golden Dawn is a Chasidic order (no, this is just false, Chasidic Jews or any other Jewish groups do not claim the Golden Dawn, the Golden Dawn was started by previously Catholic guys who appropriated Jewish mysticism with gusto). While she invites others to come speak to her if there’s something she should learn, she doesn’t show the initiative to actually bring Jewish witches to the table here. It’s harmful to speak about things with a veneer of authority, when there isn’t actual deep research or integration of the voices from the communities hurt by these falsehoods. If anyone wants to learn more about the appropriation of Jewish religion and cultures in witch spaces, or the problematic anti-semitic issues that still exist, please learn from actual Jewish witches like Jewitches.com, Lilah Haxan, Mystic Machmir, Pam Grossman, Starhawk, Susala Kay (JeWitch Collective), Kohenet Institute - and more. Discussing things like appropriation and anti-semitism without our voices actually being brought to the table - it’s just like what some Christian groups do to us, too. -signed a Jewish nature witch

I haven’t even made it all the way through your introduction and I already know I love you. I practice hedgewalking, and lithomancy. Both topics people seem to avoid. Looking forward to this beautiful soul work!

S2 E15 brought up some points about race that I think are crucial to address. Comments made by the guest on this episode, Kerri Hummingbird, were incredibly loaded. I think they deserve a follow up to unpack further due to their controversial nature and potential to cause harm to individuals who experience racism.

This is my favorite witchy podcast, I love the whole vibe! Blue June is a fantastic host, the interviews all feel very natural and comfortable. While it does cover a bit of everything I adore that the focus isn’t on love and making money. Subjects relating to actual life and the current world are talked about seriously but not in a way that comes across negative or depressing. I’m constantly learning and seeing things in a different light. Thank you for this podcast, it’s been life changing!

Unlike some witchy podcasts, this actually has an intelligent host, as well as the guest speakers. The subjects do teach me different aspects, even if I’m familiar with them.

I found this podcast by mistake and I was so happy that I did. Such important topics and information. And to top it off, you will be laughing with Blue! Can’t get enough!

I love, love, love this podcast. I’ve recently been on my own spiritual journey, I don’t have much in the way of guidance. There have been so many confirmations of how I feel and things I believe in this podcast. I actually listened to the entire podcast in about two days. Thank you so much for making this podcast. I can’t wait to hear what’s still to come.

Fun, thoughtful,honest, and liberating to listen to.
