đŽHi everyone! This is a detailed resource on podcasts about witchcraft, spirituality, wellness, creativity, entrepreneurship, queer life, and everything in-between. I hope these become inspirational tools to give you something new for your practice or for your life. I have taken the time to listen to some episodes of the podcasts and I hope the info given is useful! I love listening to podcasts while I drive or while I write, and some of the episodes I recommended have been ones that made an impact on the way I think about my craft.
đMost of these podcasts can be found on iTouches, Stitcher, Patreon, YouTube, or on their own websites.đ
*some of these paragraphs are paraphrases of the âaboutâ page on the podcast*
(Also note that some of the recommended episodes cover similar topics across the board: I did that so people who are familiar with the concepts can see that they are offered many times with different perspectives, if that makes sense?).
Happy Listening!!đđ¤
