Betwixt and Between

Betwixt and Between are two witches and real life friends who curl up on the sofa amidst animals, tea and craft projects to chat about witchcraft. Sometimes we bring on knowledgeable guests and sometimes we use our own expertise from our academic backgrounds in theology and psychology to add to texture to our shows. But we always approach our subjects from a practical, personal, dirt-under-fingernails perspective.

Why do humans create art? What about art is magical? How can you use art in Witchcraft? Is there a difference between "art" and "craft?" What should you do if you are recording a podcast and there is a sudden tornado? All this and more! And Betwixt, who was busy editing her new book (!!!!!!!) will be back in Episode 63! /episode/index/show/betwixtandbetween/id/18943598

Episode 58, Part 2: Book 'Em. 12/31/2020

Episode 57, Part 1: Book 'Em If you aren't all booked up, and are ready for a thrill up your spine, then pick up this episode! Witches everywhere love books, but some struggle with how to use them. Did you know you don't have to read every book cover-to-cover, and commit everything in it to memory? Did you know there are ways to determine if a book is right for you? We love this topic so much, we're covering it in two volumes! /episode/index/show/betwixtandbetween/id/17002796

Episode 54: Rock and Roll 08/21/2020

Episode 54: Rock and Roll Maybe you are into tumbled stones, crystal healing, and moonstone jewelry, and maybe that's as far as it goes. But what ARE the rocks and crystals we work with? What makes them special? There's more to the earth than just the plants that grow out of it--the deep time of the planet and the process that formed it and everything around us (That are still forming it!) can affect our Craft in incredible ways. At least, that's what Betwixt and Between think. Especially Between! /episode/index/show/betwixtandbetween/id/15702977

Episode 49: Feeling the Spirit...ualism We couldn't pass up an opportunity to record with one of our favorite Witches, Glinda of the North, while she was in town to celebrate some important natal days. And with her recent experience visiting Lilydale, the modern home of the Spiritualism movement, and the research she's been conducting into that movement, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to to chat about that! /episode/index/show/betwixtandbetween/id/13643705

Episode 48: Hedging Your Bets, Part II 02/26/2020

Episode 48: Hedging Your Bets, Part II Betwixt and Between continue their conversation about Hedges, physical and metaphysical. What are hedges for--to keep things out...or in?

Enjoy this further conversation about one of our favorite things! /episode/index/show/betwixtandbetween/id/13308812

Hedging Your Bets, Part 1 01/31/2020

Hedging Your Bets, Part 1 Happy 2020! Betwixt and Between kick off the year (sportsball pun not intended) with a two-part talk about hedges. What are they? Do we have them in our lives?

Episode 43: You Say You Want a Revolution - Finding Inspiration in the Stone Age Betwixt and Between, building on their chat with Kit and previous talk about ancestors, delve in this episode into what inspires them about the Stone Age (specifically the Meso and Neolithic periods). Brace yourselves for an abundant and childish use of "Homo" (sapiens, erectus, habulus...), yet ANOTHER recap of the production of fiber and clothing (Between has a problem), and a summary of Jean M. Auel's seminal works. And Between singing. Of course. /episode/index/show/betwixtandbetween/id/11080727

Episode 40: "The Mothers of my Line"--an Interview with "Kit" Buckle up, Witches! We're going WAY back into the past to talk about the myth of, and evidence for, matrifocal culture and a "Goddess Worshipping Society." Instead of examining contemporary Triple Goddess praxis and belief, this time Betwixt and Between talk to their friend "Kit," a Witch who merges historical and archeological study with her magical path, about why the Goddess construct IS a positive thing, and where it actually may have come from historically. /episode/index/show/betwixtandbetween/id/9942593
