Welcome to Film Witch, a podcast, hosted by Sandy Settle, practicing Pagan Witch and Tarot reader for over a decade, and a BIG fan of films. Here I talk about movies, their intersections with witchcraft and femininity, and whatever else I have on my mind which is, usually, a lot. Blessed be! Come in and sit for a spell.
In this episode I'm delighted to chat about Guillermo del Toro's new interpretation of Mary Shelley's novel with perhaps its number one fan (at least on Letterboxd), Charisse Phernetton.
