The Fat Feminist Witch

1/5 of my way through my first episode (American whimsigothic) and I'm already deeply hooked.

Paige, I am so sad to hear that you are closing this chapter in your life because I love your podcast. It has always been such a cozy and comforting listen for me, especially at times when I was feeling very down and alone. This podcast was truly unique and and treat to listen to and be able to get to know you. I know you will bounce back from your current challenges stronger and better than ever. I’ll be waiting here for when you do! Much love!

I found this podcast through her book “Green Witchcraft a practical guide to discovering the magic of plants, herbs, crystals, and beyond” which was a very good book.

So she has a group only for women of a certain size but also is against covens determining who should be allowed (I.e. women who were born women). She loves the history of Wicca but is offended if it doesn’t include the 90s because that’s the era most meaningful to her. We are self involved; it’s not a huge deal. But the self-righteous woke Karen vibe (i.e. I will judge you for not being woke/ witchy/ fat/ feminist enough)makes this feel a little preachy. And I’m no trump fan, but the “let’s hex people we don’t like” is just out of sync with: do no harm. All in all, for me great podcasts require either a little self awareness or a yin to the yang - this podcast has neither. If you agree with her in her approach to life, as many reviewers do, you may find this to be the very echo chamber you are looking for.
