Glamour spell gone wrong? Astral projection got you untethered? Want to know why your angry dead rich father is haunting you? Consider Kalila Stormfire’s Economical Magick Services. After a controversial fallout with her coven, Kalila Stormfire must juggle complex clients and an anonymous critic hellbent on besmirching her new business. The decaying urban block where Kal operates appreciates her affordable experience in a broad range of supernatural ailments and remedies. Still, Kal is not sure if her talent is enough to stop whoever has been posting bad reviews and persuading customers to cancel appointments. If you like stories about minority witches in modern-day working class neighborhoods, meddling love goddesses, and morally ambiguous spellcraft…this is the tale for you.

Hi everyone, Lisette here. We are only two episodes away from the end of the show. We really want to give Kalila Stormfire a good sendoff.
That is why I am pleased to announce that we are not having a single finale event, not a weekend of events, but an entire Kalila Finale WEEK! Yeah, from March 15th to March 21st, there will be daily Kalila-themed events and specials, not to mention the launch of the penultimate episode on March 15th and the hour-long finale on March 20th. I will also be hosting a very special listening party on Saturday, March 20th at 7PM Eastern. The tickets are pay what you can, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
If you would like to get more information on the listening party and everything else we have in store for Kalila Finale Week, head over to kalilastormfire.com/finaleweek. The link is also in the show notes.
Thanks, as always, for listening. And stay magical. Til the end.
Kalila's latest client is faced with a crossroads regarding his future, and Kalila herself finally faces the past.
CONTENT WARNING: Active revisiting of Kalila's memory of her abusive relationship with Samuel Argent, which includes gaslighting and "negging" behavior, as well as a veiled reference to Kalila's past D&E, an abortion procedure. This occurs after Kalila's client scene, during the second half of the episode with Kalila and Aphrodite. These are extended, emotionally-taxing scenes that run through the rest of the episode. Please take care of yourself.
