The Hexperts

In the continuing exploration of Aleister Crowley's life, we see him pursing his passions: poetry, mountains, being just a little more magical than the other magicians, and sticking his nose in other people's love life even it means getting married himself. Later, Brett learns what singers are Scottish, what songs are really movies, and what actors aren't athletes just because they have the worst Fast in their name.

This week we dissect the stories of Circe, Medea, and the other magic-wielders of Ancient Greece that helped establish our ideas of witches today, aka Helios's very messy family. Later, Brett learns about the key elements of quintessential mid-00s teen drama Skins, namely that it's not the one with the gay redhead.

In our continuing exploration of Crowley's life, our boy finds love with a man with fantastic legs, attaches himself to the worst possible father figures, and causes a schism in a sacred spiritual order like only an ex-Evangelical can. Later, Brett describes an episode of Below Deck in a way that is absolutely legally distinct from a certain James Cameron movie.

We begin our dive into the forefather of modern magic and the 'most wicked man in the world' with a look into Thelema, a religion that says everyone is a star, literally, and that martinis are bad. Later, hi, it's Nikki Blonsky from the movie Hairspray.

This is the story of how the witches of Scotland and Denmark enchanted the weather to stop a king from marrying a fourteen-year-old, and I guess somehow they're the bad guy. Later, Brett utilizes the spirits, and his eighth grade crush, to identify nu metal bands.

Our journey into the life of one of the world's most famous modern witches continues as we discuss her travels to America, her poorly-reviewed foray into ghost hunting, her apparent discomfort with sons and math, and her very good boy with very hot feet. Later, Brett tells us what he knows about Madonna, including how to perform divination with her coffee table book, and whether her ex-husband is a resident of Flavortown.

Brett and Nikki dive into the early life of Britain's most famous witch and perhaps most dumbfounding braggart, Sybil Leek. Later, Brett is quizzed on knowledge from past episodes, including who wasn't in Alvin And The Chipmunk, which Beatles are still alive, and what's the worst way to spell Nikki.

Have you heard the Gospel of Aradia? Neither had anyone else, until folklorist Charles Godfrey Leland showed up. Brett and Nikki discuss the alleged secret worshipping the goddess Diana and her witch-messiah daughter by the pagans of Italy. Later, Brett curses Charlie Puth.
