Pagan's Witchy Corner

In this episode, we're challenging one of the most common assumptions in modern spirituality: that light is inherently good, darkness is inherently evil, and our spiritual paths should always move toward one while avoiding the other. Together, we explore how these binaries shape the way we think about deities, magic, death work, shadow work, healing, and even ourselves. What happens when we st...

In this episode of Pagan's Witchy Corner, we sit down to work through a selection of reflection questions centered around one of the most important, and often overlooked, aspects of spiritual practice: boundaries.

In this episode of Pagan's Witchy Corner, we explore energetic consent, spiritual sovereignty, and why consent matters just as much in magical and spiritual spaces as it does in the physical world.

What happens when the strange, the surreal, and the spiritually unexplainable refuse to stay quiet?

Protection isn’t just about spells and intention; it’s about how you move through the world. In this episode, we take warding out of theory and into real life.

We share personal experiences with warding...

If you’ve ever heard “you need to ward your space” and thought… okay, but how? This episode is your starting point.

In this episode, we take a deeper look at the structure of the Tempering Path and the intentional design behind each of its tiers.

This isn’t just about what to learn, but when and why it matters. We also explore the philosoph...

Laura Tempest Zakroff joins us for a conversation about what it means to inhabit your practice, not just perform it.

Laura's books Anatomy of a Witch and Weave...

In this episode, Kala and I get real about one of the most talked-about, and honestly, most misunderstood topics in witchcraft: gatekeeping.
