Witch, Yes!

Friday the 13th is BACK. And not just once this year, baby witches, but THREE TIMES. Yes, 2026 is absolutely unhinged and we should all be afraid.

This week, Alicia and Terra are cracking open the folklore, the fear, and the full chaotic history of the most infamous date on the Gregorian Calendar. We're talking Norse mythology and the death of Baldr (yes, Loki is involved, obviously). We're talking the Last Supper, triskaidekaphobia, and why the number 13 has been considered cursed since at least the 1400s. We're talking real Friday the 13th disasters, including the 1972 Andes plane crash and the 2012 Costa Concordia shipwreck, because apparently this date has notes.

And then we zoom out: Tuesday the 13th, the Ides of March, Italy's fear of the number 17, and the 1980 slasher film that turned a spooky superstition into a full cultural institution.

Is Friday the 13th genuinely cursed? A Christian holdover? A Norse myth remix? A media invention?

It's all of the above, and we couldn't be more delighted.

Three Fridays the 13th in one year. Stay vigilant.

Season 8 - Burn Book Entry January 2026

Name: Agnes

Sign: Virgo

Craft: Folk magic, curse-adjacent

Notes: Stole my familiar. Claims she “doesn’t hex anymore", but that’s a lie. Bad vibes. Would not circle cast with again.

This week on Witch, Yes!, we are slowly, intentionally, and with full eye contact, cracking open the collective burn book of history to discuss witchy beefs. The rivalries. The feuds. The cheek, the nerve, the audacity, the gall, and the gumption!

From pamphlet wars and public accusations to coven fallouts and spiritual power struggles, we’re serving a deep dive into the drama and asking the real question: when magic meets mess, who’s getting the bad edit?

Consider this episode a loving reminder that enlightenment doesn’t stop you from throwing shade, and history? Oh, history always remembers the read.

Light a candle. Ward your circle. And remember: some names end up in the Book of Shadows… others end up in the burn book. 🔮📓🔥And that's the tea henny!

As the year dies and the longest night creeps in (yes, we are past the solstice, but it took a bit to edit this one), we’re turning our attention to one of folklore’s most enduring, misunderstood, and deeply unbothered figures: the Hag.

In this episode, we wade into swamps, crossroads, and liminal spaces to explore hags across myth, fairy tales, and witchcraft traditions. From crones and night hags to divine old women and winter spirits, we unpack how hags became symbols of fear, power, age, autonomy, and survival, and why they tend to show up when the light is fading.

Are hags villains? Guardians? Witches who opted out of being palatable? Or something much older than all of that?

Light a candle, lock your doors, and enjoy the solstice. The hags are watching.

The table is long. The candles flicker. The air hums with anticipation, because tonight, we eat like gods.

This week on Witch, Yes!, Alicia and Terra pull up their chairs to explore the ancient, primal magic of the feast. From Dionysian bacchanals that blurred the line between divine and mortal, to sacred sabbats where every dish was an offering, to the modern potluck that somehow still holds ritual power: we're serving up the history, symbolism, and sorcery of communal eating.

Why do we break bread together? What makes a meal sacred versus just... dinner? And how did feasts become battlegrounds for status, politics, and straight-up witchcraft? (Spoiler: someone's always poisoning the wine.)

Whether you're hosting a coven dinner or just trying to survive Thanksgiving, we're uncovering how food, magic, and community have been stirring the same cauldron for millennia.

Set the table. Light the candles. Say the blessing, or the curse.

The feast begins now. 🍷🕯️

Your bones ache. Your heartbeat quickens. The moonlight hits just right and—oh no. Oh YES. You’re turning. Welcome to the pack, babe.

This week on Witch, Yes!, we’re howling at the moon and diving into the lore, legends, and lycanthropic history of werewolves!

We’ll sniff out ancient origins, magical transformations, and maybe a few modern wolves among us (spoiler: they’re all in Brooklyn). Grab your silver jewelry—actually, maybe don’t—and join us under the full moon.

Time to put down the silver, and grab some lycanthropy soup for the soul!
