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.

This episode is dedicated to the people of Palestine. If you're able, please consider donating to humanitarian relief or signing a petition to demand ceasefire. Bearing witness is powerful- but action, even small, is sacred.
Long before the witch hunts scorched through Europe, there were the cunning folk- midwives, herbalists, diviners, and wise women who walked the hedgerows between the seen and unseen. In this episode of Hex & Muse, we trace the forgotten legacy of these sacred practitioners: the charm-makers, the bone-readers, the women who brewed healing from the wild.
Rooted in folklore, magic, and ancestral memory, this is a journey into the lives of those who held power quietly and were feared for it.
We explore:
▸ Folk medicine, protection charms & ritual tools
▸ The slow shift from reverence to suspicion
▸ How patriarchy rewrote wisdom as threat
▸ The spiritual inheritance we reclaim today
This isn’t just history- it’s a remembering.
A spell for the ones who came before us.
