Busted Broom

The Four Tenets of Witchcraft To Know, To Will, To Dare, and To Keep Silent — are often treated like ancient law, but they’re not. In this episode, we explore the origins of these ideas, their introduction into modern witchcraft, and why they were intended to serve as guiding principles rather than rigid rules. A grounded look at philosophy, history, and how these tenets function in real practice today.

This episode is a winter pause. Reflections on Yule and the winter solstice drift alongside thoughts on music, creativity, and looking back on the year without needing to tie it all up neatly. No structure, no pressure — just space to sit with what was, what remains, and what’s quietly forming beneath the surface.

Whether you’re a lone practitioner by choice or circumstance, here’s how to thrive, deepen your craft, and claim your power without a circle around you.

When everything falls apart and your magical tools are nowhere to be found, the real power isn’t on your altar, it’s in you. The Witch’s Emergency Kit breaks down the three things every witch can rely on in a crisis: the breath that resets you, the voice that protects you, and the will that refuses to let chaos call the shots. Portable, raw, and real, this is the magic you use when life doesn’t give you time for pretty rituals.

You can buy a crystal necklace or a stamped “talisman” online, but it won’t hold power until you put it to work. In this episode, we break down the real difference between a charm, an amulet, and a talisman not by definition, but by use. From pocket-worn coins to hidden scripture scraps and bone bundles carried against the skin, we talk about how magical objects don’t come pre-enchanted they become powerful through touch, sweat, fe...

Everyone’s talking about “quantum manifestation” and “AI ascension,” like witchcraft suddenly needs Wi-Fi to be valid. In this episode, Sammie breaks down the techno-spiritual hype, from people channeling chatbots to witches using algorithms for divination, and asks the real question: Is this evolution, or just another shiny distraction?

Expect sarcasm, science, and a reminder that the magic isn’t in your phone. It’s in you.

Wicca’s getting dragged on WitchTok again this time for being racist, appropriated, or just plain outdated. But is it really that simple? In this episode, we take a hard look at Gerald Gardner’s colonial baggage, the real roots of Wicca, and where cultural appropriation actually shows up in modern witchcraft. We’ll cut through the noise, define appropriation clearly, and talk about how Wiccans today can practice in ways that are et...

Everyone's rushing to Samhain, but the most potent magic of the season is happening right now. This is the forgotten time: the weird, quiet, liminal space after the Equinox but before the veil-ripping chaos.

Forget the aesthetic rush to the next holiday. This episode is about the real, hard work of the waning season. We dive into the unglamorous but crucial work of Maintenance Magic: clearing out the stagnant energy of summer, r...

This is my favorite time of year, not for the rituals, but for the work. This is the season when I personally feel the magic intensify, when my senses sharpen, and my spirit awakens.

In this episode, I'm taking you into my own practice for the post-equinox season. I'll talk about how I use this time to harvest the spiritual seeds I've sewn throughout the year, reflecting on the lessons learned and the energy spent. This ...

Everyone wants to be a witch these days. But what about the ones who kept the craft alive in secret, in shadow, and under fire? In this episode, I am pulling back the glittery veil of WitchTok and “starter kits” to talk about the real history of witchcraft’s survival.

From the repeal of the Witchcraft Act in 1951 and the rise of Wicca in the 1960s, to the Satanic Panic of the 80s, and the trend-driven witch surge of today, we’ll tra...

This episode is a field guide for the city-dwelling witch. In a world that prizes silence and serene nature for magic, we're smashing that idea and finding power in the urban jungle. This isn’t a guide on how to get away from the city; it’s a guide on how to get down with it.

Join us as we explore how to embrace the chaos, turning the city's pulse into a source of power. Learn to find your sacred allies in crows and pigeons,...

This episode smashes the glass on the crystal ball. In a world of shiny new tarot decks, we're getting back to the raw, unfiltered truth of divination. This isn't about buying a tool; it's about learning to see the messages the universe is already sending you. Join us as we explore the primal methods of our ancestors: scrying in a bowl of dark water, reading the omens carried by the wind, and finding wisdom in the messy...

Ever notice how witchy spaces don’t always feel the same? On this episode, I share my trip to Michigan and how stepping into a crystal shop there felt free, relaxed, and judgment-free nlike the heavy, watchful vibe I get walking into similar shops in the Bible Belt. We’ll discuss how regional culture influences spiritual spaces, what it means to practice witchcraft in a place where “someone’s always watching,” and why it's essentia...

In this episode, I sit down with my daughter, yes, my daughter who happens to be a Christian. Not the preachy, door-knocking kind, but the kind who genuinely chose her path without pressure, guilt trips, or holy threats.

We talk about what it’s like to coexist under one roof when one of us rolls with Jesus and the other rolls herbs. From family dynamics to religious trauma, personal choice to mutual respect, this episode dives into ...

In this episode, we're diving into the wild, tangled roots of folk cosmology. What does it mean to see the world through a magical lens shaped by land, stars, ancestors, and spirits? We're not talking textbook science or big religion. This is the kind of cosmology built from dirt under your nails and stories whispered by firelight. We'll explore how different cultures mapped the unseen world, how those views shaped thei...
