Our quest to sharpen those critical thinking skills returns with a lesson from none other than Daylina Miller, NPR journalist, LGBTQ+ activist, and CritWitchCon veteran. We chat about fact-checking in witchcraft spaces, red flags to watch out for, how to vet resources, and where to go to find good information in a world full of AI, SEO, and an endless parade of tiktoks and memes.
(Technical issues in this episode led to some crackling and distortion during parts of the audio. It’s all still audible, just letting the listener know in case of sensory or auditory processing issues.)
Make sure you check out more tips from Daylina on their substack: DaylinaMiller.substack.com.

The pod gets cosmic as Alisha Abdelilah of Soul Riot LLC joins the chat to talk about her approach to astrology - a refreshingly down-to-earth attitude that focuses on personal gifts and self-improvement, rather than the nebulous woo-speak of pop horoscopes. This month, we’re blaming it ALL on the retrograde!

Follow Soul Riot on Instagram or sign up for classes and readings with Alisha!
