    • I Do Believe in Fairies, I Do, I Do!

      I Do Believe in Fairies, I Do, I Do!
      Jan 22 2026
      In this episode, we dive into Charmed Season 3, Episode 3, “Once Upon a Time,” where fairy dust, invisible trolls, and childhood innocence collide. Using the Halliwell sisters’ battle to protect a fairy princess as our guide, we unpack the darker folklore roots of fairies and trolls, creatures that have always thrived in liminal spaces like forests, crossroads, and dusk itself. From ancient Celtic legends to modern romantasy vibes, this episode asks what we lose when we stop believing and what kind of magic waits in the in-between.Trigger Warning: This episode includes references to child abandonment, child kidnapping, and harm against children. It also references threats of harm, murder, and death. Learn More:alyssanicolepallotta. (2023, May 8). Fairy folklore. Read It Or Weep. https://readitorweep.org/2023/05/08/fairy-folklore/ Barone, F.

Along the way, we unpack the real-world origins of familiar wedding traditions and explore how the show blends them with authentic Wiccan practices.Trigger Warning: This episode contains references to non-consensual marriage and rigid gender and sexual norms.Learn More:Allen, K.

    • A Little Bit of Cole in Your Stocking

      A Little Bit of Cole in Your Stocking
      Dec 25 2025

      Half man, half demon, and endlessly conflicted, Cole Turner (aka Balthazar) becomes one of Charmed’s most compelling figures in Season 3. In this episode, we change things up a bit as we trace Cole’s emotional and moral arc, from assassin to lover to would-be redeemer, while unpacking the ancient, biblical, and occult origins of the name “Balthazar” to reveal how myth, magic, and duality collide in his character. From forbidden romance to fallen kings and demon lore, this is a deep dive into why Cole was never just a love interest, he was a legend in disguise.

      Trigger Warning: This episode touches on themes of death and grief, illness, fictional and historical violence, historical discussions of race, and emotionally complicated (including manipulation) relationship dynamics.
