The Witch Way Spellcast

Greetings one and all and welcome to another New Moon edition of the WitchWay Spellcast. This month is a veritable barbershop quartet what with the Sun and Moon both bopping through the sign of the Twins, Gemini. It's a great time to wax loquacious, have fun riffing and coming up with witticisms on the fly, jamming with foolish friends and letting all those unpleasant internal voices drift into th...

Hello friends, the wheel keeps on turning, and we find ourselves being grounded (whether we like it or not) by the steady-as-she goes new moon in Taurus. Now is not the time to be hasty, but to take time to mull things over before acting, to enjoy the pleasures of life, and to honor our flesh-suits and know our inherent worth.  The tarot for the month reminds us that the Earth giveth, and she take...

Greetings Witches, welcome to your life - there's no turning back. You know the name of the song... it's seriously GO time what with the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Neptune, Eris and Chiron all recently hitting up Aries Town. There's a new world emerging and it might seem a bit scary for some, but for those of us with magic in our bones we are ready to tackle this new landscape with gusto. ...

Greetings witchlings, and welcome back to a new season. The Spellcast has been dormant for some months, and now it's back with a shiny new logo courtesy of my very talented sister Danielle Chisholm!  In this episode we take a look at the current astrological energies, a thoughtful tarot card for guidance and I also asked some friends to share their thoughts on feminism. There's also the title trac...

Greetings Witch Warriors! It's the Aries Full Moon and Mars is the ruler of this sign and the hero of the month. New beginnings are on the horizon, new risks and perspectives are required. I chat with local hero Paige Baldwin Ando about her work and intuitive painting workshops with Whole Self Creative , and I've mapped out a simple spell you can do for Self Actualization. Also there's a cryptic o...

Greetings Witchfolk, hope you're all doing well out there. The summer in the Northern Hemisphere has been brutal, and a lot of us are probably feeling pretty burned out and ready for a cool change, literally and figuratively. This month's Pisces Full Moon eclipse is gonna help bring through some emotional therapy, but not gonna lie, it may have the potential to release the  floodgates, so make sur...

Hi kids, it's been a hot minute, but yours truly is back in the hotseat (literally, I'm melting) and am bringing you a short and sweet report on the Aquarius full moon. I hope you are ready for some big shifts in our collective consciousness! I had a lovely "full moon party"  chat in the park with my neighbors, Simon and Zoria who are two Macedonian legends living and working here in Tokyo. We tal...

Hi all, it's been a while since I've got behind the mic to cast my random vocalizations into the void, but here tis, another Witchway Spellcast for your ears. Lucky you! This month is loaded with celestial bodies playing whack-a-mole with our souls, but hey, it's gonna be alright, just take a moment to see the Big Picture and channel that inner freedom and responsibility that is quintessential Cen...

Hey all, hope you're all surviving and thriving as the Libra Full Moon comes through to bring balance and beauty to your life! Venus and Mercury are both direct again thank goodness, which means you can stop those wheels a spinnin' and get things back on track with new insights of self worth and clarity. Libra is the scales, and is asking us to appreciate the light within us and within others. We...

Hey all, happy full moon in Virgo - ECLIPSE! Turn around... Bright Eyes... Hope you're all doing well out there. This moon is asking us to clear out what is no longer working for us - ideal for Spring Cleaning and Royal Flushing! The advice is to retreat into one's "cave" to do the necessary reflections and meditations, which is appropriate since BOTH Venus and Mercury are heading into Retrobats T...

Hey all, hope you're surviving out there in the Wilderness. It's a Leo Full Moon which is one for the Cat People among us. Big hearts and big hair vibes win the day. If you're a grumpy cat, that's OK too. So am I. Take a nap and get some cuddles. I have not one, but two tarot cards from "The Light and Shadow Tarot" and hopefully the insights will benefit us all. Original Song: "Highest Height"

Happy Lunar New Year of the Wood Snake! Hope you are all well and surviving on Gaia as we enter into 2025. It's a big time for upheaval, but it's like the shedding of a skin. Painful, but necessary.  I'm joined by my Partner in Time, Dandelion Jackson for a segment called "Aspirations and Celebrations" - and we shoot the breeze on various things from Rainbow Serpents to Pilgrimages.... you can che...

Hola amigas and welcome to the last Spellcast of 2024! Thanks for being on this journey with me - here's to more spellcasting in the new year. This full moon is full of Trickster vibes, but also very motivating as Jupiter is jumpin' alongside Luna and the two of them are having a right laff at us - and probably at themselves too. Wishing you all a magical Solstice!  Original song: "Royal Jelly" -...

Time to check in with our superpowers - our Five Senses. There's also that special one we have in our throats - that superpower called Voice. It's a Taurus Full Moon conjunct Uranus, which calls for the weird turning pro, radical pro-noia and fierce creativity.  Make some art, sing a song, get a massage and treat your magical spacesuit to a nice massage or culinary feast. Taurus loves Beauty, and...

It's Ramalama moon time and you know what THAT means - yep, it's all systems GO. No rest for the wicked! We are now into the second half of the year, what with "Belloween" upon us again, and we all may be feeling a little frazzled. Aries rules the head, hence the "Golden Brain" reference. There's a cool little meditation in this month's spellcast that you can try if your brain is ramrodding itself...

Greetings Fish Folk! It's a Pisces Full Moon eclipse which is making us all feel a bit slippery, sensitive and maybe even a bit sooky. But that's OK. "Be like Water" as Mr Lee once uttered... swim, float, tread water. The landscape may have inexorably changed, but maybe it's all for the best. This month I consult the Emily Dickinson deck and the tarot card, fittingly, is the "Brother of Cups". I h...

Hey there my magical mates, on this month's spellcast I talk at length about the Aquarius Full Moon upgrades with not one, but TWO T-squares happening all up in the heavens, not to mention Mercury Retrograde conjunct the SUN. It's all good as long as you keep your eyes on the prize and your mind like a steel trap. I had a lovely chat with local Tokyo majo (witch) Yukiko Tamura who is a master yoga...

Hey kids, it's the second full moon of the goat and this horny beast is asking us if we are indeed, the GOAT. I am pleased to bring you yet another WWSC and in this episode we talk about Capricorn's tetchy conjunction with Lord of the Underworld Pluto - there's a whole lotta rattling bones to succor! Merc is about to Jerk us around again, but fortunately there's a feisty goddess who's got our back...

Well, fancy meeting you here! It's been a long time no see kinda deal hasn't it? Yours truly was in Radio Silence Land for a spell, but now she's BACK with a NEW SPELL! See what I did there? lol. Anyhoo, I hope this Solstice finds you well dear listener, and here's a wee 30 minute vocalization into the Void from the laptop of this Analogue Girl living in a Digital World... there's a few live songs...

Greetings All, Here is your spellcast for the Pisces New Moon! The Cosmic Fishes are telling us to keep the faith, stay flexible and fluid as we head into Eclipse Season.  I consult with the faeries from the Froud Faery Oracle deck, and there's a special dedication song for all me women listeners for International Women's Day on March 8. Take care out there all you Merpeople... Original song: "Dea...

Happy New Year everyone! It's the Lunar New Year of the Wood Dragon which falls on the new moon in Aquarius. It's the true beginning of Spring here in the Northern Hemisphere, as the planet continues its dance around the Sun in its place among the Stars. I chat with visual artist, painter and teacher Divya Marie Kato about "dragon hunting" and connecting to Source, and a powerful Hindu Goddess has...

This episode is a rather cathartic one. The Gemini Moon astrology wants us to THINK before we act, and make sure we've done enough research to support our perspectives on things. The Tarot is warning against apathy and laziness of mind, and we are being asked to seek answers within our deepest, most sensitive selves. I interviewed the enigmatic Sarah Furuya about her pheonix journey into sobriety...

Hello Friends in Near and Far Away Places, tis a full moon eclipse in the sign of the Bull. No BS. Literally. Taurus hates change, but recognizes that it's no good to stay stuck, no matter how bull-headed one might be. It's time to own it like you mean it, face up to your own BS and see it as something to compost! Carnage, carnival and carne (pleasures of the flesh) are the themes of this moon. Ha...

Konnichiwa my comrades! It's a vibrant Aries Full Moon coming fast on the heels of the Equinox. It's Mabon/Ostara and the year is shifting again. Be bold and brave fearless warrior, and mighty forces will come to your aid. Aries is the Initiator, so keep working on that inner healing and tune into mental disciplines to aid in your new found energy to action. We are the Future Dreamers.  *Please ex...

Hey y'all, it's fishy-wishy moony moon time, and Mercury has gone AWOL again, but all is good, just keep on dreamin' the good dream! I had an extraordinary chat with Gayle de Angelis about her acapella group "Heartstrings", the power of Leonard Cohen's songs, ranting at the radio and herbal remedies from her love garden. Cover songs: - "If it be your Will" - Leonard Cohen, sung by Heartstrings - "...
