Join The Book Witches as we discuss the popular science fiction novel, Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir! We go through the book and compare it to the movie starring Ryan Gosling, which is out in theaters now.

The book/movie comparison is always satisfying especially for such an adventurous and heartwarming story. Whether you've watched the movie or read the book (or both!) come sit with your favorite drink, snack or yarn project and discuss inter-species compassion with us!

In this episode of Book Witches, we journey to the desert planet of Arrakis to explore Dune by Frank Herbert: a sweeping sci-fi epic that blends politics, prophecy, ecology, and power into one unforgettable story. It's the foundation for most sci-fi books and movies, like Star Wars!

We follow Paul Atreides, a young noble thrust into a dangerous world of shifting alliances, deadly betrayals, and ancient forces far beyond his control. As rival houses clash and the coveted spice melange fuels both commerce and consciousness, Paul must navigate his destiny among the mysterious Fremen and the harsh, beautiful sands of Arrakis.

Join us as we break down the rich world-building, iconic characters, and big ideas that have made Dune a cornerstone of science fiction. From messianic myths to environmental warnings, we dig into what makes this novel feel just as powerful, and relevant, today.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or stepping onto Arrakis for the first time, this episode will immerse you in the spice-filled saga that started it all.

Join The Witches' Roundtable and learn about the subtle pagan holiday of Imbolc! Translated as "In the Belly", Imbolc marks the beginning of spring and the midway point between the Winter Solstice (Yule) and the Spring Equinox (Ostara). There may still be snow on the ground, but the green buds are about to poke through the soil! We discuss new and old traditions and how you can bring in springtime, even if you're not religious or into dogma.

Come learn about one of the eight sabbats that may need more attention than it gets! 📚
