THE TELL-TALE
HEARTH
PODCAST
Three witches gather around the fire each week to share stories of magic, folklore, and forgotten history. Pull up a chair. The embers are still warm.
FROM THE HEARTH
The Language of Herbs: Speaking with Plants
We explore the ancient practice of herbalism, from the healing gardens of medieval monks to the wildcrafting witches of the Appalachian mountains. Each plant carries a whispered history.
Baba Yaga: The Witch of the Eastern Woods
Burning Times: The Women Who Would Not Be Silenced
Between 1450 and 1750, tens of thousands of women were executed as witches across Europe. We trace the terrifying history of the witch hunts and the resilience of those who survived.
Three Voices. One Fire.
