We discuss the (apparently very large) issue of magical safety practices. We talk about how to avoid burning down your favorite home or familiar, as well as making sure to close out your Ouija board properly. Plus we discuss earth spells in our Cunningham Natural Magic book club.

Almost all of our stories come from YOU, our amazing listeners. Special thanks to A. Claire, Dee, Morgan, Raschelle, James A., and our anonymous listener with the Pennsylvanian story. You are all the reason we had good stories to share! Also thanks to Ivy, who let us share her poem via the live chat, and to Victoria and HeathenLurker, who both shared their thoughts and stories via chat. Follow our Mixlr channel for future broadcasts!

Also, Cory mentions a story of “Bloody Mary” found in Pennsylvania, and some of the weird spooky roads that are targets for legend trips in the Pennsylvania area. You can find more about those in the books Spooky Pennsylvania, by S.E. Schlosser, and Weird Pennsylvania, by Matt Lake and Mark Moran.

Check out our latest podcast effort, Chasing Foxfire, which just launched in early October. If you like folklore, this show will be connecting the dots between folk tales, science, nature, pop culture, literature, and more.
