The Gateway of Algol - The Demon Star

The White Witch Podcast

🔮 Bonus Episode: The Gateway of Algol – The Demon Star

In this special bonus episode of The White Witch Podcast, we explore the mythic and magical depths of Algol, the fixed star long feared as a harbinger of chaos—and revered as a portal to power.

This episode includes -

✨ An introduction to Algol, also known as the Demon Star

✨ The ancient myths and astrology tied to Medusa and her stellar legacy

✨ How Algol’s energy has been misunderstood and demonised—especially in relation to feminine power, rage, and sovereignty

✨ Ways to work with the Algol Gateway (May 15th to 30th) for protection, shadow work, and spellcraft

✨ A soft invitation into The Serpent Crown, our upcoming Medusa Month on Patreon

Let this episode be a lantern in the dark—guiding you through the shadows and toward the reclamation of your most potent, protective self.

Here’s a closing incantation to seal your Rewrite Your Story ritual for the Gemini New Moon -

By ink and ash, by moon and flame,

I lay to rest what spoke my name.

The past unravels, thread by thread

Its weight now smoke, its hold now shed.

I claim my voice, I claim my will,

The pen, the page, the space to fill.

No longer cast by fear or fate

I write my truth. I conjure my state.

From silence born, in shadow crowned,

I rise, rewritten. I am unbound.
