We all know and hate them and unfortunately they are everywhere! Who are they, you may ask? They're the gatekeepers and gaslighters in the witch community. Yes, they plague us everywhere, but we're focusing on those that reside in the witch and pagan community. We talk about how to do what thou wilt, see the red flags, set and keep boundaries, and even how to identify if you're in a coven or a cult. So lend your voice, no matter how loud, and stand your ground with us as we shine a light on and call them out.

Do you know what Randonauting is? We may be late to the game on talking about it but we went on our own randonauting adventure this summer and have been dying to talk about it.

On our sixth episode, and part 2 of our Hekate series, Cricket & Bones are joined once again by their friend Hedera Bindwood. This time they discuss Hekate's Night (Nov 16th) and Hedera's taking of her vows for this year's Hekatesia. They also delve into what this night means for each of them and what it could mean for you. We hope you'll continue the journey with us as we descend deeper into the underworld, and as we prepare to honor Hekate on Her night, the only offering you'll need to bring...is yourself.

On our seventh episode, Cricket & Bones discuss the lore surrounding the Brown Mountain Lights. Legends of the lights date back as far as 1200 and ever since then, debates have raged as to what they may be. We talk about some of the more popular theories as well as some personal stories from trips we've taken. They may seem unbelievable but when you see them in person, in the dead of night, you may change your mind.

**This is a special episode crossover with Hex-Files. The other part, Cursed ep 24-Abducted, can only be found on Hex-Files.**

In this episode we discuss chilling cases of missing people in national parks across North America. These cases are strange, unexplainable, and unsettling to say the least. Why do these people vanish? Why are some found without any memory of what happened? Why aren't remains or possessions found in most of the cases? We have no answers only more questions.

All of the cases discussed are the research of David Paulides of Missing 411. For his site and more info visit CanAm Missing Project

Hey there explorer, are you looking for more Hex-Files? There’s a new episode and its only Hex-Files! Click here or find us where ever you listen to podcasts!

And a new Cursed is coming this Friday where Bones talks to Cyndi Brannen of Keeping Her Keys about Hekate, synchronicities, curses, familiars, poison plants and more! But until then, why not go make a drink and subscribe to Hex-Files. This is what you’re missing-

Hex-Files 7. Zombie Goblins & Escape Goats: On this exploration we talk about the South African Tokoloshe. It's been described as a zombie created for mischief by a witch, a goblin type sprite, and even a sort of evil spirit. It's been blamed for deaths, murders, assaults, and of course, trickery. Is it just a catchall excuse or a real being looking for trouble? 

On our eighth episode, our group went to see the Brown Mountain lights and they share their experiences! They discuss the incredible events that they witnessed that night. Was it just lights or was it a fairy & goblin party? The conclusion may shock you!...pretty sure it was goblins and fairies though.

There are cameras that are always on in the valley and you can see those videos, and the one recorded the night we were there, here- Brown Mountain Lights Sept 28th

This Hex-File involves the Black Eyed Children! They're creepy, probably not human, and just want to come inside(and we might let them).

On this episode, we explore the Wendigo and it's original lore as well as some modern interpretations. Is it really a cryptid or more a cautionary tale? Does the Wendigo even have antlers? Can it possess and drive a person to desire human flesh? It certainly seemed that way for one man and his entire family. So join us as we serve up one of our favorite legends...we hope you brought your appetite.
