Becoming a Witch, the Terry Pratchett Way
Manage episode 519492756 series 3595028
In this third episode of Wonderfully Witchy, we’re journeying into the pages of Discworld and the heart of what made me a witch – Terry Pratchett. But this isn’t just a literary love letter. It’s a story about finding magic in the quiet, the messy, the real.
I share how I went from a devout Christian upbringing to discovering Lords and Ladies tucked on a family bookshelf – and how that book changed everything. Pratchett’s witches weren’t all sparkle and spells. They were fierce, grounded, wise, and deeply human. Through characters like Granny Weatherwax, Magrat, and of course, Nanny Ogg, I began to understand witchcraft not as rebellion, but as responsibility. Not as aesthetic, but as essence.
This episode is for anyone whose path began with a book… or a knowing… or the feeling that they were always a little bit magical. If you’ve ever felt like your power didn’t look how it was “supposed to,” you’ll find comfort here.
Because sometimes, the stories that shape us aren’t fantasy at all – they’re truth wrapped in laughter and headology.
Tune in now and remember: you don’t become a witch. You remember you’ve always been one.
