Art Bell welcomes practicing witch Tish Owen of Nashville, Tennessee, for a conversation about witchcraft, spells, curses, and magical energy. Owen, a former Catholic turned pagan practitioner of 25 years, explains how spells, hexes, and curses differ in scope and intensity, and why karmic consequences make baneful magic a serious undertaking.
The discussion covers practical folk magic, including splitting storms with a buried axe head, the use of colored candles and protective salt lines, and the power behind focused intent. Art draws on his own experiments directing millions of listeners to influence weather patterns, finding common ground with Owen on the reality of collective willpower. Owen also shares a harrowing account of being held at gunpoint by park rangers during a ritual in a Nashville park.
The conversation turns to past-life regression, where Owen describes her work as a certified hypnotherapist conducting hundreds of successful sessions. She recounts a case where a woman discovered that her adoptive grandfather had been the drunk driver who killed her in a previous life. Owen and Art also discuss the Bell Witch legend of Adams, Tennessee, and the negative energy her shop experienced after filming an A&E documentary about the famous curse.
