Gayle Introduces is a place for curious conversations about the many ways people connect with magic, spirit and the world around them.
I’m Gayle, The Witch Next Door. Each episode, I sit down with someone whose practice or perspective I want to learn more about, from divination and astrology to the land and the paths we find for ourselves. I’ll ask the questions you might be wondering too, whether you’re new to the subject or have been exploring it for years.
Come with an open mind. You don’t have to believe the same things as my guests, or as me, to find something worth thinking about
This time on Gayle Introduces, I’m joined by Angela from Fenix Flames, a lifelong witch and the woman who inadvertently started my wand obsession. So we can all blame Angela for that!
With a shop, a publishing company and the UK’s largest range of incense blends, she has plenty to share. We talk about her life and practice, and discover we don’t quite agree on the uses of eggshells in magic…
Which, of course, makes for a much more interesting conversation 👀
Gayle Introduces explores people, practices and places, following my curiosity and bringing you along for the discoveries.
