This is a show about magic, specifically the magic practiced in North America. Join hosts Cory & Laine as they discuss and explore American traditional witchcraft.
Why listen
New World Witchery is for listeners who want witchcraft grounded in place, history, and lived folk practice rather than vague occult aesthetics. Cory and Laine mix co-hosted discussion, author interviews, listener mail, seasonal readings, and recurring notebook episodes to explore North American folk magic from many regional and cultural angles. It is especially good for curious witches, folklore fans, and spiritually curious listeners who enjoy practical detail with a warm, conversational feel.
