Welcome to the Feast of Torches, on today’s episode we will be feasting upon the topic of Spirits and Spirit Communication, Now during this time of Samhain as the veil’s have thinned. A lot of people seem to have this understanding that oh now that the veil’s have thinned i can get some of that spooky ooky and while this is true to an extent.

On today's episode we are doing what all witches have dreamed of and that is Feasting upon the Christians...I'm just kidding...or am I? Mwahahaha...anyway The Almighty Tony Sosa joins us today as we discuss Christianity and it's influences on the craft both positive and negative. You will also get to witness some of our hilarious banter and possible mental breakdown over Janet Farrar's "The Witches of Wexford, Ireland" (Video will be linked below). We also discuss, The relationship of the pentagram in Christianity(along with a random tangent by Sir Sosa), The role of Women within Christianity and Witchcraft, The Concept of Sin, and not wanting to work magic for yourself out of guilt and much more. P.S. Don't mess with the devil's lettuce right before(and during) a podcast, for you will lose track of time and also thoughts.
