It all began in the fall of 2016 when two friends, who happened to be witches, went to a witches' market in Brooklyn, NY curated by Babe Coven. If you haven’t already guessed, these two are your hosts, Gemini and Scorpio. Everyone was so friendly and the event was a blast. We went to lunch afterward and discussed how the Lower Hudson Valley could benefit from a market such as the one we’d just gone to. We thought it would be a great way to bring the community together.

That lunch led to other lunches, where we admitted to ourselves a few facts. First, we had absolutely no idea or motivation to put together and run a market, witchy or not. Second, we didn’t need a market to build a community. So we did what folks do, we called on our friends.  We met and chatted about witchcraft, and met again. Meetings that once centered around a specific objective turned into a space where witches could gather to discuss their craft, share ideas, and have a laugh.

This was all we were, a witch space. Then one of us mentioned creating and hosting a podcast. We’d tell you who, but no one can remember! But it was a light bulb moment - this could be something we do for our community of Lower Hudson Valley witches. We brought it to our coven and it was decided that it should be the two of us to run it, so in January of 2019 we launched the podcast. The name would be WitchSpace, taken from the premise of the original coven, just a space for witches to come together. 

What we saw as a local program has taken off and is listened to by folks all over the globe. What we saw as just a WitchSpace, clearly meant so much more than just anything. We committed to being as authentic as possible, which meant being true to our academic personalities and to our commitment to our friends and community. WitchSpace became not just a space for witches to come together, but a space for these witches to thrive. 

Podcast available on multiple platforms.
