What sparked the conversation about women’s intuition and modern witchcraft?
it's spiritual right it's something deeper it's unconscious it's something that you can't name this is the divine feminine i could
kind of get behind why were women accused so much of witchcraft there's pretty strong evidence in terms of like history the biological and the social like socialization of women that shows that maybe the intuition is something that we've learned because we simply needed to survive catch these hands
Hi, I'm Dee Salmon and I'm a gonad-stealing feminist witch. Hell
yes. And she has incorporated that into your identity.
It's my whole personality. I mean, as it should be. For anyone that doesn't know, it was something that a troll called me maybe like a couple of years ago. It was to do with my partner. I think it was a photo of us together at an awards night and they were like, oh, Darcy could have had anything that he wanted in the world and fame, money, skills, and he chose to give it all up for a grown-up stealing
feminist witch. He literally handed his ball sack to you and said, take over.
The highest of compliments I've ever received.
I think so too. And I'm glad that's in your bio. I'm glad that's part of your personality. And it actually does really align with some of your beliefs and some of your interests. Like you are a witchy woman. I'm a witchy girl. I'm a
witchy
woman.
We'll
talk about that in a sec. But yeah. Hi, I'm Pete Rasmussen. I feel not very witchy compared to you. And there are quite a few people in the open plan office who I would say are a little bit on the witch side, talking tarot, manifestation, spells, all of that. I personally don't really resonate with that. I'm enjoying getting taken along for the ride, but... I'm just kind of here. I'm just participating, sometimes unwillingly getting my tarot read, but I'm happy to be a part of it, you know? Happy to be involved. It's so you. I'm just not witchy. No, you're not. I'm not.
No, this is something that we want to talk about in this episode because Pip, a couple of months ago, we did a call out on Instagram, and we asked you, we said, What episodes would you like us to do? Because every, I think it's like month we do a research episode where we deep dive into a topic for you. And Ibru responded to us and sent us a DM saying, can you please do an episode on women's intuition therapy? And
witches. And I think it comes at the perfect time because witches are having a comeback. There has been such a renaissance, whether or not it's like the media that we're watching, like Hello, Wicked 1 and 2, also Practical Magic 2. Oh, I know. Just came out. That's like 30 years ago that the first one came out and now suddenly they're like, oh yeah, witches, we should do more of that storyline. So that literally just came out. But it's also like... In memes, on TikToks, I'm coming across people who are like, hi, so I paid an Etsy witch to curse my ex. And I'm like, when did this happen? And why are we doing it? I
feel like now it's just such a common chat in our group of just being
like,
oh, well, we'll get an Etsy witch. Like, obviously,
that's what we'll
do. Yeah, yeah. We know that hashtag witch talk on TikTok has billions of
views.
We know that people are really getting into crystals, tarot, people
following moon cycles and astrology. We were at a 30th and someone was just like, hey, do you want your tarot read? And I was like, sure. Like it's just – it's become a part of – Almost it feels like women's culture, like to be tapped into this kind of spirituality, this woo woo of it all. And we thought, yes, we really want to investigate this. Like why now in 2026 or really, I guess it's been happening for the past couple of years. Why has this had a resurgence into culture? Like why are women turning back to the ways of the old?
Yeah, and we also want to look into the history for you too. Like where did witchcraft stem from? And you can't talk about witches without talking about, I guess, the murdering, the witch trials, the witch hunts and the banishing. So we'll talk about that as well. We will
chat about women's intuition.
