Whether you partied with your coven, danced under the full moon, or got peer-pressured by a very persuasive bottle of tequila, we’ve brewed up the ultimate post-ritual recovery “potion.”

In this delightfully morbid episode of C3: Crystals, Cauldrons & Cocktails, we’re diving roots-first into the world of necrobotany — the plants that thrive where the veil thins and the dead remain chatty.

From the ancient, brooding Yew (the goth kid of the plant world) to the deceptively sweet Periwinkle (fairy assassin energy), to the dreamy, underworld-touched Poppy, we’re exploring why these plants love gravey...

Okay, real talk — life got a little spore-tastic this week, and I didn’t have time to record something new. But honestly? This episode on mushroom magick is worth a second harvest. 🍄

We’re diving back into the world of fungi — from the witchy to the weird — exploring how mushrooms connect the living and the dead, the magick of decay and rebirth, and why they’re basically the gossip network of the forest...

Welcome to this week’s Cauldron Shot of Chaos!

 River’s diving into the secret world of familiars — those loyal, slightly chaotic companions who put the “meow” in magick. From cats with attitude problems to frogs with glamour issues and one crow who just won’t stop talking, River spills the tea on what it’s really like to live with magical partners who have minds (and mouths) of their own.

River’s resting her mortal vessel this week, so we’re dusting off the spellbook and resurrecting a classic — last year’s Samhain episode hosted by Wren!

This episode dives deep into the history, lore, and deliciously witchy ways to celebrate the Witch’s New Year. Expect cackles, chaos, and a side of nostalgia — because even old spells deserve a re-casting.

This week we’re stirring up the tea on intention—because if your spell starts with “I kinda sorta maybe want…” the universe is gonna hand you a half-melted candle and a soggy tarot card. 

Intent is the gas in your witchy jeep, not the glitter on your altar. 

So grab a drink, sharpen that focus, and let’s talk about why a half-assed intent equals half-assed magick (and how to stop manifesting vague c...

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
