Witchin' and Bitchin'
Witchin’ and Bitchin’ is a cozy, irreverent folk magic podcast where Juan and River dive into nature lore, seasonal wisdom, ancestral traditions, and everyday enchantment. Blending down-to-earth witchcraft with humor, storytelling, and a healthy dose of sass, each episode explores the magic woven through ordinary life — and the moments that make us want to cackle, cast, or complain.
This podcast is created and hosted by Juan of Descendants of the Moon and River DragonStar of Moonlight and StarShadows, two natural witches with over 60 years of combined experience in folklore and magick. Now for the required legal stuff: all information is for "entertainment purposes only."

🔥 Episode 3 — Spirit of the Hearth: Kitchen Magic & Ancestors
In this warm and witchy episode, Juan and River step into the oldest magical space of all: the hearth. From ancestral recipes to protective kitchen spirits, we explore how food, fire, and memory intertwine to create one of the most powerful forms of folk magic.
Discover the lore of hearth spirits around the world, the subtle ways your ancestors show up in your cooking, and how everyday kitchen tasks — stirring, seasoning, simmering — become acts of spellwork. You’ll also learn simple hearth rituals, ways to honor your ancestors through food, and how to cultivate a protective, nurturing kitchen space of your own.
Plus: a listener story, a practical kitchen magic tip, and a delightedly exasperated Bitchin’ Break about the crimes of modern food snobbery.
Light a candle, grab a cup of tea, and settle in — this episode brings the warmth, wisdom, and fire of the hearth straight to you.
