  • Mini Episode 11: One Candle, No Pants: Survival Spells for Tired Witches
    Jan 28 2026

    Let's Chat!!

    Welcome back to this week's mini Cauldrons of Chaos episode — the podcast where the candles are lit, the vibes are questionable, and sometimes the most powerful spell you can cast is not lying down on the floor.

    This mini episode is for witches who want results but do not have the energy for:

    • Full rituals
    • Circle casting
    • Remembering planetary correspondences
    • Or putting on pants

    We’re talking Candles in a Crisis — emergency witchcraft for when you’re exhausted, overstimulated, and one minor inconvenience away from communing with the carpet spirits.

    From random candles and half-burned altar stubs to the emotionally supportive tea light of desperation, this episode walks you through a low-effort flame ritual that still counts as real magick.

    No perfection.
    No guilt.
    Just intention, fire, and the radical idea that showing up halfway is still showing up.

    Survival spells are valid spells.
    Rest is sacred.
    And a single candle lit with intention is not a shortcut — it’s efficiency.

    Stay lit. 🔥

  • Episode 195: The Broom Closet Witch: Secrecy, Safety & Strategic Silence
    Jan 23 2026

    Let's Chat!!

    Boo, Bitches! 🧹✨

    This week on C3: Crystals, Cauldrons & Cocktails, we’re talking about something a lot of witches experience—but almost nobody talks about honestly: life in the broom closet.

    If you practice quietly…
    hide your altar…
    code-switch your language…
    or have ever said “I just like candles,”

    Congratulations—you’re not alone. You’re historically accurate.

    In this episode, River Kane dives into:

    • What the broom closet actually is (and why it exists)
    • Why so many witches still choose secrecy—especially right now
    • The pressure to “come out” in modern witch spaces
    • When it might be safe to step out… and when it absolutely isn’t
    • How to come out without detonating your life
    • What to do if coming out goes badly (yes, you can put the genie back)
    • Why staying quiet can be a powerful, strategic, and deeply witchy choice

    This isn’t a pressure episode.
    It’s a permission episode.

    Whether you’re deep in the broom closet, cracking the door, or dancing wildly outside with a besom and zero fear—your magic counts, your pace is correct, and your safety matters.

    Quiet witches are still witches.
    And some of the strongest magic in the world is done quietly.

  • Episode 194: Toad Doctors, Frog Magick & Amphibian Witchcraft Shenanigans
    Jan 16 2026

    Let's Chat!!

    Boo, Bitches! 🐸

    This week on C3: Crystals, Cauldrons & Cocktails, we’re hopping headfirst into the slippery, squishy, surprisingly powerful world of amphibian witchcraft.

    We’re talking:

    • Toad Doctors and old-school folk healing (yes, it was weird)
    • Frog familiars and emotional support gremlins
    • Illness-transfer spells, frog bones, and swamp folklore
    • Why frogs and toads are masters of transformation, liminality, and survival
    • The Loveland Frog (cryptid? spirit? Ohio doing Ohio things?)

    From ancient folk magic to modern emotional alchemy, this episode explores why frogs and toads have always terrified authority, fascinated witches, and shown up exactly when we’re going through something.

    Grab a Swamp Sangria, get comfortable with the weird, and join River Kane for a deep dive into transformation magic, quiet resilience, and the sacred art of surviving your own becoming.

    No frogs harmed.
    No jars involved.
    Just vibes, folklore, and a whole lot of swamp wisdom.
