The Witchcast - Episode 75 - History’s Most Fascinating Witches, and the sad yet sacred story of Airmid, the Goddess of Herbal Healing

The Witchcast With Lucy Cavendish

Blessings and welcome to the sonic sacred circle, Witches! So glad to be back in the Grove with all of you beautiful souls - I missed you! This episode I was asked some delicious questions, including who my favourite witch from history is - and I share my love of Tituba from Salem, Elizabeth Woodville, Anne Boileyn, Princess Diana (really) and more. Then we look into one of the most expensive tarot decks ever to go under auctioned - and why it was so prized, and ponder the ethics of practitioners claiming to remove covid from people’s bodies…usually after a hefty payment. Then I share a beautiful story with you all for Blessed Being - that of Airmid, the Irish Goddess, the shining one, the daughter of the Tuatha de Danaan, from whom our knowledge of herbs comes. I share her tragic (but very magickal) backstory, and include Airmid’s healing blessing for you all to work with.

With music inspired by herbs, gorgeous sponsors Kohli Tea, Primal Healing and Blue Angel Publishing, this return of the Witchcast is a magickal sanctuary where you can come, be enchanted, and explore the worlds between the worlds with me.
Lush, Pagan-tinged or fully-magickal herbal music by Simon and Garfunkel, Spell Songs and the Lost Words, and The Dolmen.
