Hex and Muse
A podcast for the curious, the creative, and the quietly powerful.
Hex & Muse is a slow-burning exploration of modern mysticism, feminine power, and the spaces where history, art, and ritual entwine.
Hosted by a practicing witch, artist, and seeker, this show isn’t a how-to guide; it’s a breadcrumb trail.
Each episode invites you into a moment of reflection through storytelling, folklore, sacred practices, and the occasional deep-dive into witches in art, culture, and cinema.
From building altars and meeting goddesses, to walking ancestral paths and unearthing forgotten histories; this is a gathering for those who feel the hum of something more beneath the surface of things.
Come as you are.
Take what you need.
And from my altar to yours - welcome.

Witches in the Frame: A Ritual in Paint Part II
Circles, spells, and silent defiance.
In Part II of Witches in the Frame, we step out of the storm and into the stillness. This episode explores how the witch evolved from chaos incarnate to quiet power - no longer the grotesque, but the gazed-upon. We begin with the poised enchantresses of John William Waterhouse, where ritual is rendered with grace, not fear. Then we linger in the twilight with Rossetti’s Proserpine, suspended between myth and mourning. These are not witches cast in fire - they endure in silence, beauty, and control.
Join us as we trace her shape across canvas and century, in paint, in spell, in gaze.
Hex & Muse is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. I pay my deepest respects to their Elders past and present - and to all First Nations people, whose stories and spirits continue to shape this land.
