    🌙 Episode 2 — Salt: The Witch’s Swiss Army Knife

    In this delightfully salty episode, Juan and River dive into one of the oldest, most universal tools in the witch’s arsenal: salt. From ancient purification rites to modern kitchen-witch spells, salt has been a protective powerhouse across cultures for thousands of years — and today your hosts are unpacking all its magical, practical, and occasionally chaotic uses.

    Join us as we explore the folklore of salt, its role in folk traditions around the world, and how witches today use it for protection, cleansing, boundary-setting, and potent kitchen magic. You’ll also get a simple at-home salt bowl blessing ritual, a listener story, and (of course) a full Bitchin’ Break about the gatekeeping around “fancy” salts.

    Grab a pinch, a handful, or the whole damn shaker — this is one elemental deep dive you won’t want to miss.

    In the very first episode of Witchin’ and Bitchin’, hosts Juan and River dive into the enchanting world of the besom — the witch’s broom — exploring its rich folklore, magical uses, and place in old folk traditions. Together they discuss how brooms became protective tools, liminal gateways, cleansing companions, and enduring symbols of witchcraft. You’ll also learn simple ways to charm and use a broom in your modern practice, hear a few witchy stories, and enjoy plenty of humor and bitchin’ along the way.

    Whether you're a beginner witch, a seasoned practitioner, or just broom-curious, this episode sets the tone for a season filled with nature magic, folklore, laughter, and everyday enchantment.
