Hex Positive, Ep. 055 - Fact-Checking In Witchcraft Spaces with Daylina Miller
Now available on your favorite listening app!
Our quest to sharpen those critical thinking skills returns with a lesson from none other than Daylina Miller, NPR journalist, LGBTQ+ activist, and CritWitchCon veteran. We chat about fact-checking in witchcraft spaces, red flags to watch out for, how to vet resources, and where to go to find good information in a world full of AI, SEO, and an endless parade of tiktoks and memes.
(Technical issues in this episode led to some crackling and distortion during parts of the audio. Itâs all still audible, just letting the listener know in case of sensory or auditory processing issues.)
Make sure you check out more tips from Daylina on their substack:Â DaylinaMiller.substack.com.

After conversing with some listeners and Podcast Senpai Trae, as well as having a real-talk bit of soul-searching with myself, I have come to the difficult decision to put Hex Positive on the shelf for the time being.
This decision is due to a number of factors, including recent issues with equipment and audio, changes in my schedule, and a case of overwhelm that's threatening to become a burnout of epic proportions. I'm juggling a LOT of plates at the moment and with the busy season of both of my jobs plus my personal life coming up, I need to put something down for the sake of my mental health.
The catalog will still be available on your favorite podcast platform, and of course on the Nerd and Tie Podcast Network. I fully intend to return to making episodes in the future once things calm down, and I'm definitely open to doing guest spots on other shows once I have a microphone that works.
And don't worry - I'm still doing my bits for CritWitchCon this year! I'm borrowing some equipment to do it, but I refuse to let my witches down!
I cannot say enough how much I've loved making this podcast so far and how much more I still want to do. I appreciate every single person who's ever tuned in or left a comment or review, and getting to meet some of my listeners in person at market events has been a pleasure and a privilege.
Thank you, from the bottom of my wicked little heart, all for your enthusiasm and support thus far! I hope to be able to get back to the show proper sometime next year, once things calm down. And hey, if we're all really lucky, maybe I'll be able to put some of those writing spoons toward another project in the meantime....
Until next time, I'm your host, Bree NicGarran, reminding you to stay safe, wash your hands, and Always Practice Safe Hex.
Hex Positive, Ep. 049 - Satanic Panic? In MY Witchcraft Community? (with Trae Dorn)
Now available on the Nerd & Tie Podcast Network and your favorite podcatcher!
(Itâs more likely than you thinkâŠ.)
Welcome back, witches! Weâre diving back into things with another classic collaboration between your friendly neighborhood Witchstorian and everyoneâs favorite curmudgeon and host of BS-Free Witchcraft, Trae Dorn. Feeling the weight of our years just a LITTLE bit, we sit down to discuss the stubborn traces of Satanic Panic rhetoric that still linger in the modern witchcraft movement. Not in external gossip or talking-head suppositions, but in the internal discussions that witches maintain in live spaces and especially on social media. Tune in to hear a couple of weary elder millennials ramble about alleged devil worship, community paranoia, and how much it irritates us when people donât know their own history.Â
Remember, witches â you are not immune to propaganda.
