Hey guys, welcome to episode number 12 of Seeking Witchcraft. It's me, Ashley. And sorry, guys,

0:06.7

we're not doing a tarot episode today, as you can probably tell from the title, but I have a really

0:12.0

awesome episode plan. I actually have my high priest and high priestess here. And we are going to just

0:18.3

talk a little bit about witchcraft, because they are definitely more knowledgeable than I am in this topic. So yeah, I'm going to just talk a little bit about witchcraft because they are definitely more knowledgeable

0:21.8

than I am in this topic. So yeah, I'm going to go ahead and introduce that. Well, they're going to

1:39.4

And it's been really rewarding to serve in that capacity and indeed to see Ashley doing her thing and all of that.

1:49.9

So I hand it back here.

1:51.4
