About this episode
For the low, low price of $19.99, you too can manifest love, money, or maybe just a little chaos. On this Halloween flavored episode of Sounds Like A Cult, we are diving broom first into The Cult of Etsy Witches, the booming online marketplace where spirituality meets capitalism and hexes come with free shipping. From TikTok witchfluencers to hexed baseball teams to real life political curses, host Amanda Montell explores how witchcraft became one of the internet’s most aesthetic and suspiciously profitable belief systems. Joined by practicing witch and author Mya Spalter (@mya.spalter), we’re unpacking what the Cult of Etsy Witches reveals about our craving for magic, meaning, and maybe a bit of manipulation
