Conversations at the Crossroads is a podcast for those standing in the in-between moments of life. The places where paths diverge, identities shift, and growth quietly asks to be chosen.
Hosted by Jennie of Hex&Hair, each episode explores spirituality, witchcraft, grief, healing, intuition, and what it means to be a human navigating change in a complicated world. These are honest, reflective conversations about learning, unlearning, becoming, and finding magic in both the mundane and the mystical.
This space is not about having all the answers. It’s about sitting at the crossroads together, asking better questions, and choosing your next step with intention, compassion, and courage.
Whether you’re deep in your spiritual practice, newly curious, or simply craving thoughtful connection, you’re welcome here. Pull up a torch. Let’s talk.
The Magdalene Road: Reclaiming the Woman History Rewrote
What if the woman you were taught to see was never the real story?
This week my dear friend Amy, sound healer and Reiki master, joins me at the crossroads to talk about Mary Magdalene and the pilgrimage that took her across an ocean. Amy was terrified of flying, and the trip she planned around her son's band tour fell apart. What came together instead was a journey through southern France, from the seaside town where the Marys are said to have come ashore, to the basilica holding Mary Magdalene's relics, to the mountain cave where legend says she lived out her final days. And yes, she walked into a Latin Mass in that cave on a rainy afternoon, completely unplanned.
We get into the Magdalene most of us were never taught about: the gospel that got left out, how she ended up labeled a prostitute, and why so many people are reclaiming her as a teacher and priestess in her own right. And we land on the message Amy carried home with her. Lead with sisterhood. Let the women around you tell their own stories instead of writing the narrative for them.
Pull up a chair and join us at the crossroads.

Eclipse Season: Where Does Authenticity Land When The Lights Go Out?
August's first total solar eclipse is our excuse to talk about what actually happens when the light goes out, in the sky and in life.
We get into the science of eclipses, the myths humans built around them (dragons eating the sun, wolves chasing it across the sky), and what this Leo eclipse asks about identity, performance, and who you are when nobody's watching. Plus a full eclipse calendar through 2027.
Obscured isn't the same thing as gone.

The Truth About Baneful Magic: Hexes, Justice, and the Myth of "Black Magic"
Baneful magic. Hexes. Cursing. Binding. These are words that make even seasoned witches flinch, and today we're pulling them out into the light.
In this episode we're breaking down what baneful magic actually is, tracing the word itself all the way back to its roots, bane and ban, and unpacking why bonding and banishing sit right at the heart of protection work. We'll talk about why hexes were never inherently evil, why I named my business Hex and Hair, and how baneful magic has been practiced openly across cultures for as long as people have had enemies, storms, and grief to contend with, long before anyone coined the term black magic.
From there we dig into the real history behind Hoodoo and Vodou, two distinct traditions born from displaced people who built something powerful out of what little they were allowed to keep, and why the term black magic itself carries a racial weight most of us were never taught to see. We'll talk about magic and justice, about who gets to decide what's righteous when the world offers no protection at all, and then we'll get hands on with real tools you can use this week, from cord cutting and witch bottles to freezer jars and compact mirror spells.
This one asks you to rethink everything you were told about the darker side of the craft, and to start building an ethic that's actually your own.
