tales from the witching hour – New World Witchery – The Search for American Traditional Witchcraft

Special Episode – The Ritual of Gestures Experiment

Summary:

This is one of our “Tales from the Witching Hour” practical episodes in which we discuss spells or rituals we’ve tried and our experiences with them. This time, we talk about a joint effort to do Cunningham’s “Ritual of Gestures,” the ways it worked for us, and the ways it didn’t. Cory also breaks down some of his recent experiments with “sound sigils.”

Tales from the Witching Hour No. 1

Shownotes
In this, the first of a series of short episodes, Cory and Laine discuss their recent Hallows Eve working in the woods. These episodes will be chronicling our experiences with magical practices and rituals, and are more or less unedited and have very little production work done on them. Apologies for sound issues or other problems, but we hope you enjoy getting a little personal insight into what we do.
