Practical witchcraft, lived out loud.
Seeking Witchcraft treats modern witchcraft as something lived at the kitchen table, in family rituals, in tarot spreads, and under pressure. Ashley mixes solo teaching with guest conversations that range from beginner-friendly practice to prison spirituality, deity relationships, poppets, parenting, and folklore.

Seeking Witchcraft is a conversational guide to modern witchcraft, Wicca, and pagan living, built around Ashley's mix of solo instruction and long-form guest interviews. The show stays practical. It favors examples, routines, and lived choices over abstract mystique. In a kitchen witchery episode, food blessings, intention-setting, moon water, and sun tea become ordinary ways to think about enchantment. That accessibility is a recurring thread. Beginners are not treated as outsiders, but the material does not stay shallow. Ashley regularly brings in authors and practitioners whose work pushes into more complex ground. Eric King speaks about practicing Wiccan and other paganesque religions while incarcerated, describing spirituality inside restrictive and violent conditions. Sally Crow talks about tarot as story, psychic development, empath care, and the difference between memorizing meanings and reading intuitively. Matthew Venus brings poppets, effigies, animism, spirit vessels, consent, and boundaries into a discussion of inspirited objects. November and Angela Z talk through pagan parenting with attention to holidays, Christian relatives, respect across religions, and raising a child around different sacred calendars. Iris Anyamoon discusses deity relationships through attention, offering, service, and month-long devotional practice. Fauna brings in creativity, eclectic Wicca, coven training, elemental work, personal energies, ancestors, and Nordic deities. Marshall connects witchcraft to folklore, stories, trial records, narratives, and landscape. Across these episodes, Ashley's role is less gatekeeper than careful facilitator. She asks the direct beginner question, then lets guests complicate the answer. The show can be cozy, funny, blunt, and serious in quick succession. Political poppets, prison survival, family religion, and spirit contracts all sit beside tea, crafts, books, and daily rituals. Seeking Witchcraft works because it presents witchcraft as something people actually practice under real conditions. It is grounded, curious, and unusually generous with the many ways a magical life can look.
Made for: Seeking Witchcraft suits beginner and intermediate witches, Wiccans, pagans, and spiritually curious listeners who want concrete practices explained in a relaxed voice. It also fits practitioners interested in interviews with authors, folk witches, parents, tarot readers, and people navigating unusual practice conditions.
What sets it apart: The show balances beginner access with unusually specific lived experience, moving from kitchen magic and tarot technique to incarceration, parenting, deity devotion, and spirit work. Ashley's interviews keep the language approachable while preserving the texture of each guest's practice.
