In this festive and folkloric episode of Two Witches Talking, Megan and Morgan unwrap the ancient pagan traditions woven into today’s Christmas celebrations. From the rowdy joy of Saturnalia to the sacred symbolism of mistletoe, they travel back through time to illuminate the origins of the customs we still cherish each December.
The witches explore how Yule traditions — evergreens, wreaths, the Yule log, and the celebration of the returning sun — shaped the holiday as we know it. Along the way, they share personal family stories, nostalgic memories of stocking stuffers, and reflections on how these old practices continue to influence the way we decorate, gather, and celebrate.
With their signature blend of humor, warmth, and witchy wisdom, Megan and Morgan invite listeners to look at Christmas through a different lens: one that honors its history, acknowledges its evolution, and sparks a deeper sense of meaning during the darkest days of winter.
Grab some cocoa, light a candle, and settle in for a cozy exploration of the magick behind the merriment.
We want your witchy, spooky, or cryptid stories!
