Vesta & The Flamekeepers 16:09

Play Pause

22m ago16:09

16:09

In the heart of Rome, a fire once burned that was never allowed to die. For nearly a thousand years, the Vestal Virgins tended the sacred flame of Vesta, goddess of the hearth, bound to silence and chastity, yet entrusted with the survival of an empire. To outsiders, they appeared obedient: virgins cloistered in ritual. But beneath the vows lay a p…

She Who Burns (Expanded Edition) 25:09

5d ago25:09

25:09

Before independence was signed into parchment, before fire meant fireworks, there was Brigid. A goddess of flame and fertility, later recast as a saint to soften her power. But her story, and her sacred fire, never went out. In this expanded return to our very first episode, we journey deeper into Brigid’s world; into the wells and forges, the poet…

The Spirit Drum 23:58

12d ago23:58

23:58

In the far north, where winters stretch into endless night and the aurora dances above snowbound forests, the Sámi noaiddit—shamans, often women—once drummed their spirits free. With painted reindeer-hide drums and ancient joiks, they journeyed to ancestors, gods, and distant realms, carrying back healing and guidance for their people. But when mis…

The Changeling at Skeaghbay 23:04

19d ago23:04

23:04

The cradle creaks, the wind walks, and a mother begins to wonder if the child in her arms is truly her own. In a coastal village called Skeaghbay, the old protections are still kept: iron at the threshold, salt at the sill, a bowl of cream left out for unseen neighbors. When a baby’s eyes look too old, the line between fear and folklore blurs. This…

Sophia: Divine, Ancient, Enduring 18:46

26d ago18:46

18:46

She is called Wisdom. Not the tidy kind that never falters, but the ancient presence that remembers the first light, the questions before law, the breath inside matter itself. In Gnostic texts she is blamed for the wound of creation, cast as fallen and flawed. But in her own voice, Sophia tells another story: not of ruin, but of fidelity and the st…

Hecate: Keeper of the Crossroads 20:58

1M ago20:58

20:58

She was the torchbearer at the threshold, the keyholder between worlds, the guardian of mothers, children, and the restless dead. Once honored in shrines and offerings of honey and garlic, Hecate was later recast as the dreaded queen of witches—a shadow to be feared instead of a guide to be trusted. In this episode of The Forgotten Familiar, we fol…

From Gentle Paganism to Dark Witchcraft 29:29

1M ago29:29

29:29

Long before “witchcraft” became a word whispered in fear, it was simply the rhythm of life, rooted in the turning seasons, in gratitude for the land, in the quiet power of those who remembered. Through the story of Anwyn, a healer in the village of Fernlow, we follow the slow shift from trusted midwife to suspected witch. As the Church’s shadow spr…

The Woman Who Would Not Kneel 8:24

8:24

Before Eve, there was Lilith—made from the same earth as Adam, but unwilling to kneel. For that, she was cast out, rewritten, and demonized. But what if she wasn’t the villain of the story… what if she was the first woman to say no? In this episode of The Forgotten Familiar, we trace Lilith’s long fall from goddess to demon to feminist icon—from Me…

The Salt Line 8:31

Salt. So simple, yet sacred...scattered across thresholds, tossed over shoulders, whispered into protection spells. In this episode of The Forgotten Familiar, we trace the glittering line salt draws through history, folklore, and feminine wisdom. From ancient Egyptian rites to Appalachian doorsteps, from cradle protections against changelings to th…

They broke the bread…and cursed the village. But what if the true poison lay not in spells, but in the soil? In this episode of The Forgotten Familiar, we uncover the dark history of ergotism, a deadly grain mold blamed on witchcraft, and the way ordinary kitchen rituals became evidence of sinister magic. From medieval France’s “Holy Fire” outbreak…

The Midwives Who Burned 5:33

They called them witches—but once, they were simply women: midwives, healers, guardians of birth. In this episode of The Forgotten Familiar, we step into medieval Europe’s hidden world of wise women who knew the body’s secrets—and discover how the Church and the state turned their sacred knowledge into heresy, burning them alive to break the power …

They said witches flew on broomsticks. But what they never told you… was what the broom was really for. In this episode of The Forgotten Familiar, we explore the dark, intoxicating truth behind “flying ointments”—potent blends of herbs and fat used by women to slip between worlds. Belladonna, henbane, mandrake… all were part of a pharmacopoeia pass…
