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: Today we dug into the history of the Beozar, the uglier, terrestrial version of a pearl! These stone found in the GI tract of animals have always fascinated humans who have prescribed strange properties to them. We chat about their history in western folklore as a universal antidote, their occurrence in human GI tracts, and their plausible efficacy against one common poison.
