Spirit Guides, Signs & Messages from Nature
What if the animal that keeps appearing in your life isn’t there to give you a spiritual identity, but to begin a relationship? In this bonus Word From the Witches episode, Gayle, The Witch Next Door, explores animal spirit guides, meaningful encounters and the subtle ways nature may already be communicating with you. Rather than searching online for the meaning of every fox, robin or crow, Gayle asks a more grounded question: What is nature trying to teach you through this encounter? In this episode, we explore: Why humans have always looked to animals as teachers and messengers. The difference between an animal guide and a temporary sign. Why repetition, timing and behaviour matter. How your emotional response can reveal the meaning of an encounter. Why the most important animal isn’t always the most impressive one. How spiders, ants, pigeons and other everyday creatures can carry powerful lessons. The different ways animals may appear through dreams, meditation and recurring encounters. How to distinguish meaningful patterns from encounters we simply want to be signs. Why observing an animal’s natural behaviour matters more than searching a correspondence list. How to build a respectful relationship with the natural world without forcing spiritual experiences. This isn’t an episode that will tell you which animal belongs to you. It is an invitation to slow down, observe and notice which creatures continue to find you, and what they may be reflecting back. Because perhaps the real magic isn’t discovering your spirit animal. Perhaps it’s remembering that humans were never separate from nature in the first place. Between Three Witches, witchcraft in plain sight, everyday magic lived honestly.

Is modern witchcraft still real witchcraft?
Where does tradition end—and where does living folk magic begin? In this episode of Between Three Witches, Gayle, The Witch Next Door, Vikkie, The Wheelie Green Witch, and ANON, The Anonymous Witch, explore whether witchcraft becomes less authentic when it adapts to modern life. Can supermarket herbs be as magical as something you’ve foraged? Can a slow cooker become a modern cauldron? Are tarot apps, Zoom rituals, digital grimoires and online covens genuine forms of witchcraft—or are we becoming disconnected from the roots of the craft? We discuss: Wax candles versus electric candles. Foraged herbs versus shop-bought ingredients. Handwritten grimoires versus digital ones. Tarot apps, AI and technology in witchcraft. Apartment, balcony and accessible witchcraft. Everyday superstitions that are really forms of folk magic. Modern rituals hidden inside cleaning, skincare, coffee and clothing. Whether disability, money, location or time make someone’s practice less valid. The difference between preserving tradition and preventing a living practice from evolving. We also answer a listener question from Sarah Hevlin: Which books would we recommend to someone beginning their witchcraft journey? Witchcraft has always adapted to the people, places and tools available to it. So perhaps the real question isn’t whether your practice looks traditional enough—but whether it carries meaning, intention and a genuine connection to your life. Come and sit with us for an honest conversation about tradition, accessibility and what it means to practise witchcraft in plain sight. You can find us all on social media as Gayle The Witch Next Door, Vikkie The Wheelie Green Witch & ANON the Anonymous witch Until next time, may your practice meet you exactly where you are.

Word from the Witches - Vikkie talks folk magic
In this episode, Vikkie, The Wheelie Green Witch, takes us into the world of folk magic… the kind of magic rooted in the hands, the home, the hedgerow, and the generations before us.

Word from the Witches - Anon talks fairies
In this episode, The Anonymous Witch takes us deep into the world of fairies, folklore, and the stories that have survived for generations whispered beside fires, hidden in forests, and carried through old traditions. But this is not the overly-sanitised version of fairies social media often gives you. This episode explores the older folklore. The cautionary tales. The strange beauty and complexity of fairy belief across history. From the origins of fairy lore to the way our ancestors viewed these beings with both respect and caution, Anonymous Witch opens the door to a side of folklore that is fascinating, eerie, and deeply rooted in the land itself. We talk about: 🖤 The historical roots of fairy folklore 🌿 How different cultures viewed the fae 🕯 Why fairies were once deeply respected and feared ✨ The difference between modern fairy aesthetics and traditional lore 🌲 The connection between spirits, land, and old stories If you love folklore, history, old magic, and the quieter corners of witchcraft, this episode is going to pull you straight in.

Divination: A Beginner’s Guide to Cosmic Confusion
This week we dive headfirst into the strange, fascinating, and sometimes wildly chaotic world of divination 🔮 What actually IS divination? How do different witches work with it? And why have humans been trying to read signs, symbols, cards, smoke, stars, bones, tea leaves and literally everything else since the beginning of time? In this episode, the three of us sit down to talk openly about: 🌙 Tarot & oracle cards 🔥 Fire, smoke & candle divination 🫖 Tea leaves, symbols & signs ✨ Intuition vs interpretation 🖤 Why divination is more than “predicting the future” 🌿 Different cultural and historical forms of divination 🔮 How beginners can start without feeling overwhelmed But because this is Between 3 Witches… things also descend into absolute chaos at several points and there is a LOT of laughing throughout this episode. Somehow we go from ancient practices and spiritual insight… to completely losing composure over stories, experiences, and the reality of trying to explain witchcraft to normal people. So whether you’re deeply experienced in divination or just curious about why witches stare dramatically into candles and shuffle cards like their life depends on it… this episode is for you. Honestly, this one feels like sitting in the kitchen with friends talking magic long after midnight ✨ 🎧 Between 3 Witches: Witchcraft in Plain Sight Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & Amazon Music.

Witchcraft 101 guest edition - That Glasgow Witch
SEASON 2 of Between 3 Witches begins… and we could not have asked for a better first guest than That Glasgow Witch This episode is chaotic in the best possible way. Deeply honest, absolutely hilarious at points, and full of the kind of conversations witches usually only have once the candles are burning low and everyone’s finally saying what they really think. We dive into the parts of witchcraft that get buried beneath algorithms, aesthetics, and pressure to “perform” spirituality online… and talk about what practice actually looks like when nobody is watching. From astrology and planetary magic changing beliefs, spiritual burnout, and the things we’ve completely outgrown in our craft, this episode feels raw, grounded, and very real. Inside the episode: 🌙 Building a spiritual practice that actually fits your life 🔮 Astrology, planetary magic & energetic timing 🕯 The parts of witchcraft we no longer resonate with 🌿 Why simple magic is often the strongest magic ✨ The unseen side of spiritual practice people rarely talk about 🔥 The return of Keep It or Cut It… and some brutal decisions There were moments we were crying laughing… but underneath all the humour is a conversation about authenticity, intuition, and remembering that witchcraft is lived, not performed. So if you’ve ever questioned yourself… wondered whether you’re “witch enough”… or felt disconnected from the heart of your practice… This episode is for you. Featuring: Gayle The Witch Next Door ANON - The anonymous witch That Glasgow Witch ✨

What happens when witches turn on each other?
In this episode of Between Three Witches, we turn the mirror on ourselves. No guests just us, asking each other the questions we usually hold for everyone else… and letting whatever comes up, come up. What starts as curiosity quickly becomes something deeper. We explore what it actually means to feel called to a path, especially when it’s something you’ve known before but put down. The difference between being at the beginning… and being in a return. The quiet tension between intuition and conditioning. And how many of us have been trusting ourselves far less than we should. We talk about: • Why intuition isn’t just something you “learn” • The difference between judgement and discernment (and why that matters more than you think) • What happens when you’re highly sensitive to energy but don’t yet have structure around it • How to begin properly, without overwhelm, without doing everything at once • And why most people aren’t lost… they’re just disconnected from their own rhythm This episode is for anyone who feels like there’s something more to them… but doesn’t quite know how to step into it yet. Or maybe… you do know. You just haven’t trusted it. Hosted by three witches Gayle The Witch Next Door Vikkie - The Wheelie Green Witch & ANON The Anonymous Witch You can find us all on the socials!!

Witchcraft 101 guest edition - Nixie Vale
This week feels different… because for the first time, it’s not just the three of us. We’re joined by Nixie Vale for our first ever guest episode, and it opens up a conversation that’s long overdue. We’re talking about what witchcraft actually looks like in real life… not the aesthetic, not the performance… but the version that has to fit around bodies, energy, limitations, and the truth of day-to-day living. Nixie shares her experience of navigating disability and chronic illness within witchcraft, and how that reshapes what practice looks like when you can’t follow the “expected” path. Because the reality is…witchcraft isn’t always candlelit rituals and perfect timing. Sometimes it’s: adapting simplifying listening to your body instead of pushing through and redefining what “practice” even means We also talk about her new book, the thinking behind it, and why accessibility in spiritual spaces matters more than people like to admit. And… because we couldn’t not… Nixie steps into our first ever “Keep or Cut – Guest Edition” 👀 (you already know that gets interesting) This episode is slower, more honest, and probably closer to what witchcraft actually looks like for most people than anything you’ll see online. If you’ve ever felt like you’re “not doing it right”… this one might shift that. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify / Apple / wherever you get your podcasts 🌙 Follow for more witchcraft in plain sight and you can find us all on the socials!

Curses, hexes & ethics in witchcraft
In this episode, we share thoughtful perspectives without fear, sensationalism, or judgement, offering an honest conversation about one of witchcraft’s most misunderstood subjects. We explore one of the most debated topics in modern witchcraft: curses, hexes, baneful magic, and magical ethics. Between Three Witches – Witchcraft in Plain Sight is a witchcraft podcast exploring real magical practice, folklore traditions, everyday spirituality, and honest conversations about modern witchcraft. Hosted by: Gayle – The Witch Next Door Vikkie – The Wheelie Green Witch ANON – The Anonymous Witch In a world where social media often sensationalises witchcraft, this episode takes a grounded, practical look at baneful magic, separating folklore, historical practice, and modern perspectives from the myths and fearmongering often seen online. Whether you're new to witchcraft or an experienced practitioner, we discuss how witches approach ethics, responsibility, intention, and magical consequences when it comes to hexes and curses. We break down the terminology often used in magical practice, including hexes, curses, jinxes, and baneful magic, and explore how intention, scope, and outcome affect how these workings are understood in different traditions. Baneful magic has existed for centuries within folk magic traditions, cunning craft, and traditional witchcraft. We explore how curses and retaliatory magic historically existed alongside protective magic and how modern witchcraft communities interpret these practices today. One of the most complex conversations in witchcraft revolves around magical ethics. Not all witches follow the same moral framework, and we discuss how personal ethics, responsibility, consent, and intention shape magical decision-making. Is there ever a situation where curses or hexes might be considered justified? We explore the difference between protection, retaliation, and emotional impulse, and why reflection and emotional regulation are important before any magical work. This week’s listener question comes from Emily on Patreon: "How do you find balance between work and belief? I’ve been trying to stay calm and centred, but work often gets in the way." We discuss practical ways witches integrate grounding, spiritual practice, and everyday life, even during stressful work schedules. Curses, hexes, and magical ethics are rarely simple topics. Every practitioner approaches baneful magic differently based on experience, tradition, personal ethics, and spiritual philosophy. We hope you enjoy the episode and and in two weeks we explore the basics of witchcraft and the terminology! See you next time, and you can find us all on social media platforms.

Connecting with ancestors (without the nonsense)
How do you genuinely connect with ancestors and spirits… without the theatrics, fear mongering, or over complication? In this episode of Between Three Witches, Gayle (The Witch Next Door), Vikkie (The Wheelie Green Witch), and ANON (The Anonymous Witch) unpack what ancestor and spirit work actually looks like in real, everyday practice, not the dramatised version social media often sells. Prompted by a thoughtful question from one of our Patreon listeners, we explore: What we really mean by “ancestors”, of blood, land, craft, and choice Why spirit communication is often subtle, not cinematic Simple, grounded daily practices that build connection over time Creating safe inner foundations before reaching outward Boundaries, discernment, and why protection isn’t paranoia The difference between healthy spirit companionship and escapism We talk about quiet acknowledgements, candles lit with intention, cooking family recipes, journaling dreams, and keeping offerings simple and meaningful. No strict rules. No gatekeeping. No pretending every breeze is a message. This conversation is about relationship, not performance. About staying rooted in the physical world while honouring what came before. And about trusting your intuition without losing your grounding. As always, we share laughs, life updates, and honest reflections on what this work really looks like behind closed doors. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “doing it right,” or felt overwhelmed by dramatic expectations around spirit work, this episode is for you. And don’t miss our Sit With Us listener question at the end: What’s your favourite spell to cast, and your favourite tool to do it? Listen in, and may your practice meet you exactly where you are.

What Does Real Lived Witchcraft Look Like?
In this episode of Between Three Witches, we explore a question that sits at the heart of our craft: what does real, lived witchcraft actually look like? Hosted by Gayle (The Witch Next Door), Vikkie (The Wheelie Green Witch), and ANON (The Anonymous Witch), this podcast is all about everyday magic, practised honestly, imperfectly, and in plain sight. We each walk different paths, with different levels of experience and perspectives, but we share a deep respect for witchcraft as it is truly lived, not just aesthetic, not just ritual-heavy, but woven into ordinary life. After catching up on how we’ve been since recording our first episode, we dive into the subtle, powerful ways witchcraft shows up day to day. ✨ Daily & Near-Daily Practices 🕯️ Domestic or “Mundane” Magic 🌿 Relationship with Nature 🛡️ Protection & Boundaries 🕯️ Ancestral & Spirit Awareness 📖 Knowledge-Keeping & Curiosity 🍂 Seasonal & Cyclical Living To close, we reflect on how deeply personal witchcraft truly is. There is no single template. No single “right way.” Each of us shares how our craft looks in real life, and how it changes with time, capacity, and season. This week we answer a question from Dena and Becky on Patreon: How do you learn or create incantations — and are they even necessary? If this episode resonated, you’re welcome to sit with it, share it, or simply let it unfold in your own time. You can find: Gayle – The Witch Next Door on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook & Patreon Vikkie – The Wheelie Green Witch on TikTok and Instagram & Patreon ANON – The Anonymous Witch on TikTok and Instagram Thank you for listening to Between Three Witches – Witchcraft in Plain Sight. Until next time, May your practice meet you where you are. In a fortnight we go deeper on connecting with ancestors and spirits!

What does it mean to be a witch in plain sight?
What does it really mean to live as a witch in plain sight? Not hidden. Not secret. But also not performative. In this first episode of Between Three Witches, we explore what witchcraft looks like when it’s lived quietly, honestly, and with intention, woven into everyday choices, boundaries, rhythms, and relationships rather than displayed for validation. Hosted by three witches with different paths, Gayle The Witch Next Door, whose focus in moon magic, herb and foraging and seasonal living. Vikkie, The Wheelie Green Witch who is a lifelong practitioner with a green witch focused practice and last but by no means least the anonymous witch, whose love of fairy magic and whimsy through a life long lived and embedded practice brings 3 practices together that provide something for every level of practitioner. Through a shared respect for the craft as it’s actually practised, this conversation is rooted in lived reality rather than aesthetics or hierarchy. This episode is not about “coming out” as a witch. It’s also not about social media, platforms, or aesthetics. And it’s not about telling anyone how open their practice should be. It is about agency, discernment, and living your values without needing to explain yourself. Grab a seat and coffee and come join us in discovering what it means to be a witch in plain sight.
