Fiber Magic & Stitch Witchery: Knitting, Ancestral Craft, and Enchanted Thread

Send us a textIn this Yuletide episode of the Magick Kitchen Podcast, Leandra Witchwood and Elyse Welles are joined by fiber artist and co-host of the Knit a Spell podcast, Katie Rempe, for a deep and soulful conversation about fiber magic, stitch witchery, and ancestral craft.Together they explore knitting, embroidery, mending, sewing, spinning, and textile arts as ancient magical practices — ways of weaving intention, prayer, and protection directly into everyday life. From blood, sweat, and tears stitched into garments, to repetitive motion as meditation, to crafting as a gateway for intuition and ancestral connection, this episode invites listeners to remember the sacred power held in thread and cloth.The conversation weaves through grief and healing, pandemic-era crafting, reclaiming lost communal arts, ethical making, and how working with fiber can become both spellwork and spiritual refuge. Whether you knit daily or have never picked up a needle, this episode offers a gentle invitation to slow down, listen to your hands, and reconnect with the magic humans have practiced for millennia.The Rebel Mystic Coven is my heart-crafted teaching circle in South-Central Pennsylvania—a sanctuary where curiosity meets mystery and seekers kindle their inner fire. As an Eclectic Coven, we explore a variety of topics and areas of study to help build our awareness, deepen our practices, and develop understanding.  A short, spoken invitation calling women who feel the Dark Goddess stirring to step into embodied power through a nine week initiatory journey with ancient goddesses.

Send us a textWhen the veil thins, the body becomes the first altar. In this candid, unfiltered conversation, somatic coach, witch, and trauma-informed Domme Melissa Gutierrez joins Leandra and Elyse to demystify somatics and show how movement reshapes mind, emotions, and (yes) magick. We explore the twin currents of sex magick and death work—how they naturally braid together in healing, grief, and rebirth—and why ethical containers, consent, and nervous-system literacy matter for real transformation.Melissa shares her cultural roots, what “sensation integration” looks like in practice, and how to work with triggers as teachers. We talk science-meets-mysticism, reclaiming the hips and voice from shame, adult agency in the body, and why community mirrors are essential for growth.
