Episode 137: Autumn Magick

Magick & Alchemy

In episode 137 of the Magick & Alchemy podcast, hosts Kate Belew & Kristin Lisenby fill their harvest baskets with seasonal harbingers and autumnal spells. They begin in the trees, gathering orange foliage and messages from Mercury before moving on to the stories of saffron and descent. They visit the apple orchards and the Garden of the Hesperides, harvesting the fruit of the dead and contemplating the mysteries that abound in our mythical groves.
