Join me, Rowan, for a deliciously fresh new episode of Season of the Witch with Rowan Oaken. On this week’s episode, I have a super pumped Witch of the Week segment where I will be interviewing Social Media Witch Superstar, and Occult Bibliophile, Marshall of Witch of Southern Light to spill all the witchy tea. Join us as we challenge ideas within the craft such as what it means to be an eclectic witch, concepts of toxic masculinity, conspiritualism on social media, queerness in the craft, and identifying as a witch in the bible belt of the US. In addition to spilling all that tea, we will also be talking about practical aspects of the craft such as sigil magick and using wands. In addition to all the mammoth content in this episode, I will be throwing in a bonus segment this week where I will be helping you get started with sigil magick. If you want to chat about any of the content from today’s show, you can continue the conversation with me over on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and TikTok @SotWwithRowan To hear more from Marshall, you can find him @witchofsouthernlight on Instagram and TikTok, or if you’re on the hunt for those fabulous wands he mentioned in the show, you can find theme here on Etsy.
Join me, Rowan, in our last weekly episode before the show moves to bi-monthly (two a month) as we discuss Bonfire Night (Guy Fawkes Night: 5th November) and some of its connections to Pagan practices. In our main segment this week, we will be talking cultural appropriation in Neopagasm, Wicca and the craft to analyse when it is okay to appropriate, whether it is ever okay to appropriate and to discuss some of the differences between appropriation and cultural diffusion.
Stick around for our bonus segment, where I will discussing ways to magickally boost your mood over the next few difficult weeks and stay grounded when everything feels chaotic.

Something wicked this way comes.
Welcome to our very first spooky episode! Titled after my FAVOURITE TV show of the 90’s, ‘Are you Afraid of the Dark’. Join me, Rowan, as we creep through the woods to unearth some terrifying tales about Shadow People and be chilled more knowing that all of these are true stories.
After that, we arrive through the woods at Mill Lane, where we will be investigating the haunting of a very troubled house.

Get ready to spill the tea with me and read the ominous leaves to filth.
It’s starting to look a lot like Samhain.
Join me, Rowan, for a sabbaty special Samhain episode of Season of the Witch with Rowan Oaken.
This week, we will be talking all things Samhainy, including lore, history, misconceptions, correspondences and magickal workings – I’ve even treated you to two bonus spells at the end of the episode, bargain! One of those a spell for ghostbusting and the other for initiating communication with ancestors. You’re welcome.
Tune in to hear me spill some tea about ancestry work, healing genetic wounds and celebrating the season no matter your family history. Some of us may be adopted and may not know our family heritage and others may have more problematic ancestors to work with – Well, I’ve got your back!
Our Witch of the Week is non other than the turnip holding Irish legend Stingy Jack, so be sure to join me to find out how a tight fisted trickster originated the Jack o’ Lantern.
So, grab your tea and let’s read the leaves to filth.

This week is a very special history episode of Season of the Witch as we will be joined by our very first guest, Eleanor Knowles of @WitchyHistory on Instagram, as we lift the coffin on some witch trial history, looking at some of its shadiest characters… Spoiler alert, most of them are depraved men in political or religious power. No points for guessing that one. Tune in also to hear about the witch bitch that started it all, allegedly, yes, we’re talking Tituba and I have some tea hotter than a Ryan Murphy sex scene. So, grab your cup and let’s read the leaves to filth.

Welcome to Season of the Witch, with Rowan Oaken
Take a knee deep dive into the cesspit of witchy stereotypes and misconceptions with me - Rowan - in our third episode of Season of the Witch, with Rowan Oaken. In this episode, we will be thumbing through the history pages as we explore our very first Witch of the Week, Elizabeth Demdike of Pendle, to find out exactly how badly someone like myself can butcher a Lancashire accent in my retelling of her story. Come investigate the etymology of the word witch with me, as we use that to guide us through the many misconceptions and problematic stereotypes of witches and pagans. Ever wanted to know where the pointed hat came from? Yeah you do! Broomsticks? I have that covered, all in this weeks episode of Season of the Witch, with Rowan Oaken. Stick around at the end of the episode to join in with this week's bonus content - a sunflower seed spell for S.A.D witches. ** So, grab your tea and let’s read the leaves to filth.

Join me, Rowan Oaken, your new gay best friend, witch-dad and host of the first ever ‘Season of the Witch’ podcast.
This week, we will be throwing open Pandora’s Box as we flip the lid on representation in the witch community and in the spirit of the autumnal/spring equinoxes, we will be getting into the themes of balance. I will be sharing my favourite spell for balance (link below) and the story of how it absolutely changed my life.
In the spirit of first meetings, I will let you in on the story of how I first began exploring the craft and unpick a bit of witchy family background along with some strange phallic rituals from the village I grew up in. Make sure you are part of the discussion too; join me in my Instagram coven run with my sister @samhainsisterhood . Looking forward to hearing your stories and seeing what suggestions you have for future content.
Stay tuned after the show (35:53) for full details of the Llewellyn Balance spell.
