TW: This episode does discuss addiction and death, as well as other dark themes that may be triggering for some. Listen at your own discretion. There's a lot going on, both in our personal lives and in the world as a whole right now, and we're feeling it. Heavy. Although this episode leans more into a very serious, personal event, there's some comedic relief. Mainly because we're us. And we just can't end an episode without acting like a couple of 14 year olds.🖤 Join the Witchful Thinking Cozmic Coven & be a part of a private witch community. (It's free!)

In this episode, we dive into the magic of Mabon, the Autumn Equinox, where day and night come into perfect balance. We’ll explore the deeper symbolism of light and dark, reflecting on how these dual energies show up in our lives (while goofing off, as per usual. We throw our whole harvussy into it, guys.) From Mabon’s roots in Pagan traditions to the myth of Persephone’s descent into the underworld, we’ll uncover how this season invites us to pause, reflect, and restore balance. Plus, Brooke shares a simple ritual (sans chicken nuggets) to help you align with the energy of the equinox and find harmony within. Tune in for insights, reflection, and a little seasonal magic!

We’re jumping headfirst into twin flame lore this week, people! What are they? Why do so many people have the wrong (and unhealthy) idea of what they are? Do we even believe in them? There are so many questions to answer, and a whole lot of opinions floating around on the internet (some from you!) that we wanted to address! Lindsay and Brooke discuss the wild ideologies that surround the phenomena of twin flames as well as spotlighting celebrities who have proclaimed they’re in twin flame relationships. We also share stories about previous relationships, spiritual bypassing, and the toxicity that surrounds the Twin Flame Universe.

B is for: Buttrock Br*ke Bad words we don't say Brooke's singing career We've developed a sort of online/digital fatigue since 2020, and after watching Raw Beauty Kristie's video about how instant gratification has made creating content so incredibly grueling, we started thinking...is this how we've started to treat manifesting for our greatest good? If we don't get something immediately, are we just turned off of the idea of manfesting altogether?  When did we get so goddamn tired?         Want your question or story featured on the show?
