Show notes

We've made it to 50, baby!! For this special 50th episode, we wanted to revisit our Ethical Witchcraft series, discussing the ethics behind spells, curses, and hexes. We kick off this episode with talking about vulnerability and our brief thoughts on the Elisa Lam docu-series on Netflix. Then we cover what spells are, how to approach love spells, and even break down a specific spell for self-love for you to try! Then we talk about the difference between curses and hexes, and of course we answer the question, is it ever ethical to curse/hex someone? And if you think you've been cursed yourself, we also provide you some options for breaking it and protecting yourself from potential curses. It's a packed episode you won't wanna miss!
