Season 6 Episode 3: Where did that k come from?

In this episode I look into where the word magic comes from, where the k comes from and various types, forms and terms associated with magic, such as Black magic versus white, left hand versus right hand path, folk and ceremonial magic. Fun for all the family.

Season 6 Episode 2: Hekate, the Goddess of Magick

In this episode I delve into a little bit of the origins, lineage, mystery and history of one of the most well known goddesses of magick, the amazing Greek goddess Hekate. We look at her role as the goddess of the crossroads, necromancy and witchcraft. I also find some spells in the Greek Magical Papyri that relate to her and end on a telling of the Homeric poem to Demeter, in which Hekate informs Demeter of Persephones abduction.
