Today’s date is October fourth. The moon is in Pisces–Eldritch get down, she’s not going to bite you–moon is waxing gibbous. Sun is in Libra. Client name is, well. I guess technically the client name is Nala...Nala is four...a Gemini and does not have an alignment I can judge because well, she was–is–is. A dog. I hope, at least. In any case, she’s a dog now and should stay that way through the night if I did everything right.
— Case One: Transformation

Why People Love Kalila Stormfire

 

"It’s not often that I find a show that I think will sit in the same place in my heart as Welcome to Night Vale, or King Falls Am, or the Bright Sessions. Kalila Stormfire, appropriately enough, just stole my heart away. I’ve fallen head over heels with this show: with its creativity, and its humanity, its humour and its drama. I just can’t wait for more!"  — ITUNES LISTENER

"If you're a big fan of Willow and Tara on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, then you'll love this podcast! A "witch for hire" podcast as she talks about her recent cases and gives fomr fun insights into what it's like being a witch in this world."  — OSTIUM PODCAST

“I loved the first episode, you really get a feel for Kalila and some of the struggles she is facing. I found the character extremely relatable, Kalila is trying to change and be a better person, different from who she was. It’s a difficult journey, and I think that Lisette captures that extremely well. I’m excited to hear where this is going.” — AUDIODRAMARAMA

"A fun and heartfelt show in which the diverse and detailed world and its characters handle very real and relatable issues. With a combination of episodic magical challenges and long-running mysteries and conflicts, it promises a very entertaining run!" — ITUNES LISTENER

"I fell in love with this show right from the get-go. Each episode has such wonderful depth and earnestness that is only added to by the magical elements included. I am always eagerly awaiting new episodes and am never disappointed by Lisette's storytelling abilities." — ITUNES LISTENER

Through the case files of a young witch, we are shown a truly, scientific and holistic approach to solving the traumas of everyday life. This show also beautifully builds a world outward, creating a specifically designed world around this witch who has been cast out by her coven and is, herself, healing from her own secret traumas. This show is magic- I'm sorry, magick. Highly recommend." — ITUNES LISTENER
