The Magic of Feasts
The table is long. The candles flicker. The air hums with anticipation, because tonight, we eat like gods.
This week on Witch, Yes!, Alicia and Terra pull up their chairs to explore the ancient, primal magic of the feast. From Dionysian bacchanals that blurred the line between divine and mortal, to sacred sabbats where every dish was an offering, to the modern potluck that somehow still holds ritual power: we're serving up the history, symbolism, and sorcery of communal eating.
Why do we break bread together? What makes a meal sacred versus just... dinner? And how did feasts become battlegrounds for status, politics, and straight-up witchcraft? (Spoiler: someone's always poisoning the wine.)
Whether you're hosting a coven dinner or just trying to survive Thanksgiving, we're uncovering how food, magic, and community have been stirring the same cauldron for millennia.
Set the table. Light the candles. Say the blessing, or the curse.
The feast begins now. 🍷🕯️
