Hello, friends! In this month's episode, I wanted to talk about how you don't need money to practice witchcraft. I discussed the concept itself, maybe controversial opinions about the way creators talk about it, and walked you through the process of just exactly how you can cast spells with no tools at all. This episode was inspired by Nat the Horse Witch on YouTube, where she gave her opinion on...

Today, I’m sitting down to talk with Caireann of Hearth and Besom to chat about Slavic American Witchcraft and her multi-cultural practice! Once again, there was an issue with Zoom not liking my microphone, so there is some feedback and echo when I speak sometimes. It's not there all the time, and it doesn't impede the conversation, but if you struggle to hear what I say and still want to...

Today’s episode was inspired by the ever-changing path of the witch, or at least my ever-changing path. Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere, but I just wanted to talk a bit about finding your path, changing your mind, and making choices along the way.

Information overload can easily happen when researching witchcraft and paganism. Do you know what it looks like? Or how to combat the "symptoms" of too much information? Take a listen today as I talk about my experiences with information overload, what it looks like, and how I help myself overcome the challenges of easily accessible, and constant, information.

Self-care has become a large focus for me in my personal life, so much so that I find I have integrated my self-care practice and my witchcraft practice using different routines and ideas. I'm at the stage now of burnout recovery, so self-care but to an extreme. But what is self-care, and how should you approach it within a magical context? We're going to explore that today!   If you'd...

Sometimes you just have to start over, ya know? Go back to the basics of your practice and really figure out what you enjoy, what matters the most to you, and how you can further deepen your connection to your faith and witchcraft! The last few years have seen tremendous growth in both my personal and witchy life. Both things and people have come and gone. Life has changed, my practice has changed...

It's the last day of 2022 and holy crap I am ready for it. It's been chaos and unpredictability in both my personal life as well as my practice, and I'm glad to be starting over fresh with many things come 2023. Things have changed in my life and I'm getting back to why I started making content in the first place -- for something I enjoy doing!  I hope you have a wonderful New Year celebratio...

Do you label your witchcraft practice? Maybe you're a green witch, or a cottage witch, or a kitchen witch? In today's episode, I give my perspective and opinion on the different ways labels can help and harm your witchcraft practice. As always, this episode is simply one witch's thoughts! I don't personally label my witchcraft, though I have labeled my polytheistic practice. Don't forget that labe...

This month, I was inspired to give a more spooky episode for the podcast, something steeped in legend and folklore. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow was written by Washington Irving, an American author that wrote the story detailing a Hessian soldier that was decapitated during a battle in the revolutionary war come back to life without his head. However, he isn't the first or only headless horseman in...

Today's podcast topic was one that was recommended to me in my Discord server -- so shout out to Blue and Ban for giving me this particular topic idea. I'm going to be talking about low spoons witchcraft or witchcraft for spoonies!   What is Spoon Theory? https://butyoudontlooksick.com/articles/written-by-christine/the-spoon-theory/ Witchcraft and Mental Health Q&A: https://youtu.be/pPYp-...

Someone on YouTube asked me to clarify my thoughts on using magic for personal gain. I hadn't done so in that particular video so here I am! The tldr; version of my answer is yes, you can use magic for personal gain. There is no hard and fast rule in witchcraft that says you can't use magic to get things you want or need. Listen in to hear my reasons, my thoughts on where this idea comes from, and...

A friend of mine, Megs (Prairie), recently reminded me that I'm not alone when I have feelings of inadequacy in regard to my practice and my knowledge. She left me with the quote that is also the title of this episode: Comparison is the thief of joy. I wanted to share my thoughts with you, the things that I know but that don't stop me from comparing myself to others. This episode is a sort of pep...

I received a question on Instagram about how I'm adjusting to life in Florida in regard to the Wheel of the Year, energy work, and seasonal celebrations. It got me thinking about how I don't really follow the traditional Wheel of the Year and how I've created, and continue to refine, my own celebration calendar.  If you'd prefer a transcript, you can find this and past transcripts here: https...

I've had the itch to talk about tools in witchcraft practices for a few weeks now and I finally just decided to sit down and record. In this episode, you'll hear my thoughts on common tools, how we can reframe our views on what tools in witchcraft are, and some random thoughts I have about witchy tools in general.

I saw something recently that really got under my skin and I wanted to talk about it but I didn't want to do it alone. So I did the next best thing! I invited a friend of mine, Betty, better known as The Witch from the North on social media, to come on the show with me and talk about the commodification of witchcraft and spirituality. We dig into why our community gets inundated with ads, products...

I asked on social media for your questions on mental health, witchcraft, and paganism. In this episode, I answer those questions and give my perspective. This episode got a little heavy for me at certain points, so it may be heavy for you sometimes, too. However, mental health is such an important topic and I really wanted to tackle this head-on.    If you'd prefer a transcript, you can...
