Justin Cooke, Rowan Zeoli, and J Gordon Curtis sit down with our good friend (and prolific psychedelic author), Sofie Mikhaylova.

This Halloween bonus episode dives into the ancient folklore around witches and how their practices intertwine with the realm of psychedelics. 

We discuss 5 infamous herbs and elixirs witches in middle-age Europe used in their alleged rituals and potions, debunk some common misconceptions, and dig into the true identity of these mysterious women.

Sofie recently gave a talk on psychedelics and witchcraft at Soho House and wrote yesterday's piece on Herbs, Hexes, & Hallucinogens: Inside the Witches' Apothecary.

We hope you enjoy this candid conversation with one of our favorite psychonauts.
