C3: Crystals, Cauldrons, & Cocktails
A Witchy Podcast
This Week's Episode:
Episode 225: Mirror, Mirror, What the Hell? — The Witchy Art of Reflection ScryingWhat happens when you stare into a mirror long enough and ask it to spill your business?
​
This week on C3: Crystals, Cauldrons, & Cocktails, River is diving into the strange, ancient, occasionally creepy world of reflection divination and scrying.
​
We're traveling from an ancient Greek mirror oracle to John Dee's mysterious obsidian mirror, digging into old Halloween rituals for spotting your future spouse, exploring the folklore behind Bloody Mary, and discovering why humans have apparently spent thousands of years staring into shiny objects and demanding answers.
​
We'll talk mirror scrying, water scrying, obsidian, intuition, the subconscious, spiritual interpretations, and what may actually be happening when faces and shapes seem to shift in low light.
Plus, there's a possibly haunted thrift-store mirror, practical scrying techniques, divination for the low-spoon witch, the Scry & Dry cocktail, and several reminders that your mirror does NOT get to be the boss of you.
​
Whether you believe you're receiving messages from Spirit, tapping into your intuition, giving your subconscious five uninterrupted minutes to finally get a word in, or some combination of the above, grab something reflective.
​
We're staring into the shiny void.
And hopefully nothing stares back.

The Midnight Files Episode 10: Sleep Paralysis, Mall World & Other Reasons Not to Go to BedWhat if the strangest places we visit aren't on any map?
​
Tonight on The Midnight Files, River takes a trip down the Backroads of the Mind—into sleep paralysis, shadowy figures beside the bed, recurring dream locations, the internet mystery known as Mall World, and those unsettling places we somehow recognize even though we've never visited them while awake.
​
Why do so many people see dark figures during sleep paralysis? Why can our dreaming brains build entire towns, hotels, malls and impossible buildings—and then remember the geography months or even years later? And why do complete strangers sometimes describe dream worlds that sound suspiciously similar?
​
We'll look at what sleep science can explain, what it can't quite answer, and why River's subconscious can apparently construct an entire alternate reality but still can't hire a competent plumber.
​
Are these places simply landscapes built from memory? Psychological worlds we return to again and again? Or are there backroads of the mind we don't completely understand yet?
​
Turn down the lights, grab your emotional-support crystal, and whatever you do...
don't open the basement door.
