Welcome to Without a Candle. A grounded, mystical, and slightly sassy space for spiritual seekers, witches, energy workers, and curious souls walking their own path. Hosted by Karlie Knoch and Carla Fortner of Appalachian Root Works & Rooted in Runes. This podcast is part conversation, part education, part ritual and all heart.
We talk about energy, intuition, spiritual practice, ancestral wisdom, personal growth, and what it really means to live a sacred life - without needing to be perfect, polished, or burning sage 24/7.

Here's what you'll find:

• Real talk on the messy and magickal
• Tools, traditions, and teachings from lived experience
• Honest reflections on healing, purpose, and power
• Guided rituals, journal prompts & deep dives into myth & meaning

Side Series inside the Candlelight...

The Raven's Records - Karlie's solo series exploring Norse mythology, rune wisdom, the Wheel of the Year, Sacred Cycles and other Pagan Paths. Each episode opens a "record" from the mythic or spiritual realm and invites you to walk deeper into your own knowing.
Coming soon: Carla's Series Reveal - A space for heart-led healing, spirit guided storytelling, and a deep-rooted remembrance. Keep watching the flame...

Whether you're rekindling your practice, reclaiming your path, or just need ap lace to land and listen - welcome. You don't need a candle to find your way here. The spark is already in you.
