A weekly witchy themed fiber arts podcast! We're a coven of two yarn witches trying to craft fiber magic through knitting, dyeing, spinning, and whatever we can get our witchy hands on. It's a long distance coven, so we thought we'd open it up to yarn witches across the globe so we can spread our black magics far and wide. Lauren is the dyer behind Valkyrie Fibers and Emily designs knitting patterns under the name Kitty With A Cupcake. New episodes drop on Tuesdays!

Occult Corner: Lauren went camping and foraged some juniper berries to make a little toasted juniper salve, so we talked about the symbolism and common uses of the Juniper tree and it’s berries. Plus, certified tree-nerd, Mr. Valkyrie, recorded a bonus video for the Patreon talking about Juniper tree ecology in the Great Basin. If you’re interested in more tree discourse, he recommends the Completely Arbortrary podcast https://arbortrarypod.com/ and social media darling @jewslovetrees
