So much witchcraft to learn – and reject wholeheartedly – from Hollywood movies! Jenny and Trai revisit three of their favorite rites of passage witch movies: The Craft (the original), Witches of Eastwick, and Eve’s Bayou. What do these movies get spookily right about witchcraft and what ends up patriarchal propaganda? The Light in the Fog hosts go full fangirl, dishing the stories, the themes, and the magic.

Spoilers for all these movies!

Both Light in the Fog hosts have mental illnesses, but it behaves quite differently, as Jenny explains in the Tides of Bipolar. Jenny is medicine-resistant, type 2 BiPolar, and it’s all about the cycles. Not the moon or seasonal cycles – or at least not in the way you think. Jenny brings the research that explains the circadian pacemaker running the bi-polar show!! Prepare to have your mind blown! Meanwhile, Trai’s PTSD is more of a pattern – triggered more by random emotional shrapnel than a calendar, and we explore that stuff, too.

For lucky episode 13, we have an intense episode that deconstructs where our patterns and programming of behavior and coping originated – was it our parents? Their parents? Society in general? Capitalism? Our biochemical make up? Past lives? All of it?? Jenny and Trai discuss how we learned to recognize being activated, how to create space around it, and the beginnings of how to heal. The answer might just be roller coasters.
