Speaker 1 (00:10):

seven podcasts.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Playlists, and listen live on the free iHeart app. Yeah,
it's it's on the cutting room floor, the stuff that
we couldn't get to on today's show.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Who asked you a simple question? Do you practice witchcraft?
You don't think you do, but maybe you do and
maybe you have? Okay, do you want me to keep
going with the theatrical.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
My over selling getting the villagers together here?

Speaker 1 (00:51):
I want to put your head on a sticky well.
These are I saw a list of these childhood habits
that were actually witchcraft, childhood habits that we did as kids,
and our kids probably did them too, But I'll tell
you what their origins are. Sleeping with a favorite stuffed animal.
Every kid does that. But apparently this wasn't just comfort,

(01:12):
it was spell work for protection. Should we have some
oogity boogidie music and some ethereal music, probably some ethereal
music the theme from Bewitched.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Yeah, she's a witch, hot witch, too compliant.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
She was a compliant. She's a witch. She would do
the housework all right.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
And she wouldn't use her magic powers. Although if I
was married to her, I would say, Okay, honey, let's
conjurrupt some what.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Would you conjure up more money so I had a
better house. Yeah, animal, if she could conjure up something,
wouldn't you have a more handsome husband? I thought he
was all right? Nah. Iteration one and iteration two were
both ugly.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Well, they were both Dick York and then Dick Sergeant.
They changed Dix.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
She liked Dick but needed a different one. Let's get
let's get based to this. Sleeping with her favorite stuffed
animal was discomfort. As I said, it was spell work
for protection. Children intuitively charge objects with emotion, turning them
into guardians, and it's an adult. You can recreate this
by keeping a small charm or crystal on your pillow,

(02:21):
letting it absorb your energy each night. Do you do that?
Brendan Matt Brocki was into the crystals.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Remember I think I's been holding the cut him loose
when he said, you know what, We've got to put
some crystals in the cars holding okay, mate.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Maybe you can just geteter. Maybe we would just get
a girl called Crystal to sit in the car. I
think that was the problem that you what about this one?
Wishing on the First Star classic celestial magic. Now you
know it's old world magic because it's spelled m A
g ic K. Children believe the first Star listens more closely,

(02:56):
and many traditions say it does. You can return to
this by speaking one clear, simple wish to the night
sky and trusting the timing. Remind me when it's midnight.
Blowing on downs. You thought this was just making a wish,
but blowing dandelion seeds is an old form of air
magic with a K on the end. Each seed carries

(03:18):
your intention into the universe. You can do it consciously
now by whispering what you want and visualizing the seeds
delivering it to the right place. Making potions out of
leaves and petals. Have you ever done that?

Speaker 2 (03:30):
No? I've seen you cook when I was at art
school with to get some waves in.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Wed what, Brendan Nothing? This was your first bit of
kitchen witchcraft. Kids, Stir, combine, and mix with pure intention,
which is the essence of spellcraft. Try recreating this energy
by making a simple herb infusion while focusing on what
you want to call in interesting as they say, they
call it witchcraft when women healed with herbs, but science
when a man put it in a pill and right

(03:54):
on staring into the rain from a window. This is
early scrying. Scr y, I n you haven't heard a
scross gazing into natural movement to slip into a soft
intuitive states it's nice, isn't it. You can bring this
back by sitting quietly during rainfall, letting your mind wander
upon clarity. Blah blah blah blah blah. I've got one

(04:17):
of those apps that I've downloaded. I haven't had to
use it yet that we recreate the sound of rain.
So go to sleep and you use that. No, because
it makes me anxious. I haven't closed the forgola gola
open all night. Talking to the moon stop that, That's
what I say. Kids do that. Kids naturally speak to

(04:42):
the moon if it listens, because energetically it does. I've
never spoken, well, you would have as a kid, I.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Know I didn't. I know myself as a kid, I
speak to anything, and I never spoke to the moon.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
I've seen. I imagine you as a kid would have
looked for the man in the moon. Yeah, definitely, And
I reckon your neighbors would have stopped you mooning collecting
special rocks. It was your first crystal practice. I can
see it getting bored. How about one more? A drawing
symbols on a fogged up window? D and B doesn't count, Brendon,
You are unknowingly casting siggles, sigils, yeah, s I g oh,

(05:18):
don't yeah, don't wrap me up? S I g I ls.
Kids draw hearts, swirls and shapes that carry emotional meaning,
and the good old D n B. Why do I bother?

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Maybe should go and talk to uranus bee?

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Which bee?

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Which be?

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Which be? Witch? Bewech okay, chies.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
That's it for today, Come back tomorrowle More, Jonesy and
