Summary
Welcome to The Bell Witch Podcast. "Witching in the 21st Century" Opening with a person poem, in this Moot Loot episode of TBWP, Swailes welcomes back Katherine Lucy Haworth of Orange Blossom Old Ways, a shamanic practitioner and witch connected to Pendle Hill. Together, they explore witchcraft, feminism, and motherhood through a political and deeply personal lens. Katherine shares her spiritual journey, her connection to the land and witch trial history, and how home birth became a shamanic initiation. They discuss patriarchy's ongoing harm, the sacredness of women's bodies, and the importance of matriarchy as a model of healing and protection. The episode closes with a poem celebrating resilience and hope. Please take care when listening as heavy topics are discussed- Genocide, Gaza, death and tragedy .
