  • 163: Can Objects Remember? Haunted Objects, Cursed Dolls, & Murderabilia at Zak Bagans Haunted Museum
    May 8 2026

    *WARNING This Episode discusses sensitive topics including murder, murderers, and suicide*

    Some objects feel old. Some feel loved. Some feel wrong.

    This week on Back on the Broomstick, we step into the strange world of haunted objects, cursed artifacts, murderabilia, spirit attachment, and the unsettling idea that energy may linger long after a moment has passed. From Zak Bagans’ Haunted Museum and the infamous Dybbuk Box to Peggy the Doll, serial killer relics, and rooms soaked in decades of fear and fascination, we explore why certain objects seem to gather stories, emotion, and power around them.

    But are these objects truly haunted? Or are we feeding them through belief, attention, trauma, and collective imagination? We talk about Stone Tape Theory, energy transference, thoughtforms, servitors, tulpas, egregores, psychometry, and the animist idea that places and things may carry memory in ways modern culture has forgotten how to recognize.

    Whether you’re a skeptic, a believer, or somewhere in the shadowy space between, this episode wanders the crossroads where magic, psychology, folklore, and the paranormal all blur together. So light a candle, maybe cleanse your favorite thrift store find, and join us as we ask one very uncomfortable question: can objects remember?

  • 162: Tending the Fire from Beltane to Litha
    May 1 2026

    Between the wild green fire of Beltane and the golden blaze of Litha lives a season of pure enchantment. In this episode of Back on the Broomstick, Laylla and Chelle step into the lush, humming magic of early summer, where flowers burst open like spells, fireflies flicker over fields at dusk, and the land itself seems drunk on possibility.

    Together, they explore the magick “between the spokes” of the Wheel of the Year. That fertile stretch of time where passion becomes action, abundance begins to ripen, and we choose what deserves our energy, attention, and devotion. From Beltane’s fertile spark to the radiant power of Litha, this episode is all about sustaining joy, feeding creativity, and falling back in love with life itself.

    The witches share practical everyday enchantments to help keep the season’s energy moving. Think dandelion honey spells for sweetness and stubborn growth, mugwort dreamwork beneath open summer windows, and self love glamour magic designed to make you magnetic to your own spirit first and foremost. There’s talk of daydreams as portals, summer as a season of manifestation, and the sacred art of romanticizing your own beautiful existence.

    This is an episode about living intentionally with the season instead of rushing through it. About remembering that your passion is your power. About noticing the way warm night air, cricket songs, blooming flowers, and long golden sunsets can become part of your spiritual practice if you let them.

    So grab an iced tea, light a candle, step barefoot into the grass, and join us for a cozy, witchy conversation about abundance, desire, beauty, and the living magic of summer.

  • 161: The Flowers of Beltane
    Apr 24 2026

    The fires of Beltane are lit, and we’re stepping into the season where everything starts moving. In this episode, we talk about what Beltane looks like in a modern, solitary practice and how to work with its energy as a living current that carries you through early summer, not just a single night.

    We get into flower magic as both spellcraft and language. From Victorian floriography to intuitive plant relationships, we explore how bouquets can hold intention, send messages, and even influence the energy around you. Yes, including how to set boundaries with flowers or nudge things in your favor without saying a word. We also talk about wearing your magic through oils and scent, turning your body into part of the working instead of just the caster.

    This is an episode about working with what’s already alive. About setting something in motion at Beltane and tending it as it grows
