Imposter Syndrome, Gatekeeping, & the Witch Aesthetic | Ep 13

Two By Torchlight: A Modern Witchcraft Podcast

Today we're talking about how much imposter syndrome sucks, and discuss the ways in which gatekeeping lends itself to, and is maybe also fueled by, imposter syndrome. We also dive down a Google search rabbit hole to talk about the image of the witch and how it's harmful to actual practitioners (but not in the way you think - we love those crone hag pictures here!), plus toss in some rants about neurodivergency and spoon theory, the pros and cons to social media, and Aradia even gets to break out her bodywork knowledge to talk about the nervous system and why it's OKAY if you have to take breaks from your craft. Buckle up, witches; we go for a ride in this episode.
