    This is Halloween (err…Samhain)
    Feb 6 2026

    In Charmed Season 3, Episode 4, “All Halliwell’s Eve,” the Halliwells are thrown back in time to protect their ancestors and the future of witchcraft. We use their journey to unpack Samhain, an ancient night of thinning veils, restless spirits, and necessary endings, where death, rebirth, and magic walk hand in hand. From Halloween’s pagan roots to its modern myths, this episode explores why the dark has always been a place of power.

    Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussions of death, mortality, historical and mythological violence, supernatural and horror themes, religious and spiritual practices, and folklore

  • I Do Believe in Fairies, I Do, I Do!

    I Do Believe in Fairies, I Do, I Do!
    Jan 22 2026
    In this episode, we dive into Charmed Season 3, Episode 3, “Once Upon a Time,” where fairy dust, invisible trolls, and childhood innocence collide. Using the Halliwell sisters’ battle to protect a fairy princess as our guide, we unpack the darker folklore roots of fairies and trolls, creatures that have always thrived in liminal spaces like forests, crossroads, and dusk itself. From ancient Celtic legends to modern romantasy vibes, this episode asks what we lose when we stop believing and what kind of magic waits in the in-between.Trigger Warning: This episode includes references to child abandonment, child kidnapping, and harm against children.

  • A Little Bit of Cole in Your Stocking

    A Little Bit of Cole in Your Stocking
    Dec 25 2025

    Half man, half demon, and endlessly conflicted, Cole Turner (aka Balthazar) becomes one of Charmed’s most compelling figures in Season 3. In this episode, we change things up a bit as we trace Cole’s emotional and moral arc, from assassin to lover to would-be redeemer, while unpacking the ancient, biblical, and occult origins of the name “Balthazar” to reveal how myth, magic, and duality collide in his character. From forbidden romance to fallen kings and demon lore, this is a deep dive into why Cole was never just a love interest, he was a legend in disguise.

    Trigger Warning: This episode touches on themes of death and grief, illness, fictional and historical violence, historical discussions of race, and emotionally complicated (including manipulation) relationship dynamics.

    Itty Bitty Living Space: A Genie-Filled Episode
    Dec 11 2025
    In this episode, we dive into Charmed’s genie chaos—where French Stewart pops in, Dan pops out (at warp-speed aging), and the sisters’ well-intentioned wishes go predictably sideways until a remorseful genie helps set the timeline right. From there, we open the lamp on the real lore: exploring the deep history of jinn and genies, their origins in pre-Islamic belief and Islamic theology, their many types, their fears, their role in modern Muslim contexts, and how pop culture turned them into wish-granting icons. It’s a whirlwind tour of smokeless fire, tricky magic, and the surprising differences between the djinn of myth and the genies we grew up with.Trigger Warning: This episode includes mentions of slavery and references to violence.Learn More:Al-Dirassa Institute.

    It’s the End of the World and We Feel Fine
    Nov 27 2025
    In Charmed’s “Apocalypse, Not,” (Season 2, Episode 21) Prue is pulled into a vortex with a Horseman of the Apocalypse, leaving Phoebe and Piper to choose between saving their sister or stopping the end of the world. We break down the real origins and symbolism of the Four Horsemen, how Charmed reimagines them, and how these apocalyptic figures have shaped everything from medieval history to modern pop culture. Along the way, we explore the show’s Eleven Planes of Existence and why humanity can’t stop retelling stories about the end of days.Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of religious themes, war, famine, disease, death, cannibalism, and historical antisemitism.Learn More:AmazingGraceLyrics.

  • Curiosity Killed the Researcher (and Ethics, Too)

    Curiosity Killed the Researcher (and Ethics, Too)
    Nov 13 2025
    This episode covers episodes 19 and 20 of the series Charmed. In “Ex Libris,” the sisters face the uneasy line between human wrongdoing and supernatural evil when a murdered student’s spirit seeks justice. Then in “Astral Monkey,” a doctor’s experiment with the Halliwells’ blood goes wildly wrong, sparking questions about science, consent, and the cost of curiosity. Without further ado, let’s dig into grimoires, demonology, and real-world stories of medical research and the violation of human rights. Note: The Annabelle Doll is noted as being located in the Warren Occult Museum. While the Warren Occult Museum is still in operation, it has since changed guardianship and as of late 2025 it and Annabelle are on tour in the U.S.Trigger Warning: Discussions of murder and beheadings; human experimentation; racial injustice and unethical medical research (e.g., Tuskegee Study, Henrietta Lacks); and violation of consent and bodily autonomy.

  • You’re Sew Vain (You Probably Think This Spell’s About You)

    You’re Sew Vain (You Probably Think This Spell’s About You)
    Oct 30 2025

    A demon who steals skin, a deal for eternal beauty, and a sisterly crisis of vanity — it’s all in a day’s work for the Charmed Ones. Join us as we peel back (pun intended) the demon of vanity, the sin behind it, and what it really means to grow older magically.

    Trigger Warning: This episode contains content like violence, murder, human skin/flaying, sensitive commentary on prostitution and vulnerable individuals, references to mental health disorders and addiction, and religious symbolism and gendered punishment.
