Episode 203: Taboo Magic

Welcome back, Witches! This week we’re diving into our Taboo Magic episode, where we explore topics like blood magic, necromancy, sex magic, and other practices that are often labeled “forbidden.” Rather than treating them as shock value, we’re looking at their historical roots, cultural contexts, symbolism, and the ways these traditions have been understood across different communities. So get in, Loser — because this week we’re having an honest, thoughtful conversation about the magic that lives at the edges.
