Pitney & Amelia's Bitchen Boutique

Pardon the background noise in this episode. Amelia drove down to San Antonio to hang with Pitney and a bunch of doggies, and we recorded a long conversation that's going to stretch out over two episodes! (Sorry things cut off so abruptly there at the end of this one!) Pitney hosted a Litha gathering at his house on the night of the Solstice, so we talked a bit about writing rituals and what an outlet that can be for Pitney's creativity. Then we reminisced about the coven he used to be in, which took us to a story about a falling out with another member of his order. Actually, "a falling out" isn't strong enough. That witch tried to destroy his reputation, so he retaliated! It's pretty amazing. But the story of the pain of the end of that friendship led to Amelia telling a story of an ugly de-friending she's been dealing with recently, and the steps she took to heal from the pain, which included a powerful ritual. Then we laugh about the people who think "love and light" will solve all the world's problems, i
