The Frightful Howls You May Hear

A bi-weekly podcast on all manner of magic, occultism, and folklore, from learned traditions of grimoires and astrology to the folkways of traditional witchcraft and herbalism around the globe. Hosted by Sfinga, Salt, and B. Key of the "With Cunning & Command" blog, bringing you all the same passionate exposition with far more mischief and devilry! Every two weeks, we bring you a folkloric deep-dive into an element of traditional magic to better enrich your knowledge base, a practicum on magical strategy and fostering enduring animistic relationships with your spirits, or a guest feature with a personal friend to tackle a combination of the two. Our goal is to bring together rigorous research with courageous ambition, delivered to you in the light-hearted banter of three best friends.Support us on patreon.com/TheFrightfulHowls and follow us at twitter.com/FrightfulHowls

It’s great

Love this gang - fascinating, the real deal.

Refresh your relationship to magic

Warning: you may actually hear the frightful howls after all! This trio of vibrant magicians shares so much personal experience in humble and accessible ways, and openly encourages YOU to get up and give your magic a flex. They also offer a serious amount of historical and folkloric information that is generally difficult to access. This podcast goes hard. The Patreon and Discord are incredible. More bonus content and powerful magical connections than you can handle. I have dreamt of building a community of efficacious magicians, only to stumble upon one they built already through Patreon. The Frightful Howls You May Hear has quickened and ignited my magical practice like no book or podcast has in years.

Amazing podcast, just hoping for balance.

The breadth of knowledge of these three is astounding. I just wish that there was more of a balance between the three voices, because it seems like one person is dominating the conversation, and in some ways, that detracts from the overall content.

Fresh and unique

I listen to a lot of occult/magic podcasts, and while I am a fan of a number of them, after awhile they have all started to have the same 15 magician authors on to talk about the same Western European grimoire work. The Frightful Howls crew and friends are a refreshing departure from the usual suspects and the usual topics, and I have learned a tremendous amount from the depth and breadth of their knowledge and practice. Absolute must listen for anyone interested in magic and the occult.

Real and practicing ensorceller’s craft of the highest caliber. The info glut makes a cohesive whole. Enspirited pod! Grateful to see courageous peers doing the damm thing #jungleismassive

A low-key masterclass in living folklore…

A low-key masterclass in living folklore and the sorcerous arts. Manages to feel light hearted and casual, while going deep on a vast spectrum of topics not bounded by geographic location or time period. Highly recommend.

Scholars of Lore, Masters of Practice

The intimacy of this podcast is what pulled me in, and the knowledge keeps me coming back for more. Sfinga, Key, and Salt are scholars of their personal craft, as well as global cultural lore and magic. Yet despite being incredibly well-read, their delivery is deeply personal and entertaining. You’re sharing a table with three close friends who share their passion and experience for their craft. I love it, and I look forward to the next episode as soon as the newest one ends.
