Sinners - Vampires, Crossroads & Garlic Magick

In this hauntingly delicious episode, we descend into the blood-soaked, Southern gothic world of the film Sinners—a vampire story laced with folklore, crossroads magic, and protective witchcraft. From Robert Johnson’s legendary deal with the Devil to real-life vampire lore, we explore the shadowy edges of horror and spellcraft.

We cover ancient garlic rituals, vampiric goddesses like the Empusae and Lamia, and garlic’s sacred link to Hekate. Plus: folklore from Romania, real historical vampire cases, and protective charm work you can use today.
