Witchy Work Wishes

The wheel is turning and we find ourselves at the threshold of yet another celebration … Imbolc! This is a time to honor the stirring of life beneath the surface, even as winter's chill still lingers in the air. Imbolc is a celebration of light returning, of seeds germinating in the dark soil, and of the goddess Brigid, whose flame inspires creativity, transformation, and renewal. This sacred...

This episode is a bit of a precursor to next week’s 2025 Imbolc topic … but it really is a good place to start sowing the seeds of our intentions and creating a magical witchy garden for renewal and growth. Just as gardeners plant in alignment with the seasons, we, too, can align our intentions with the energies of the universe to cultivate a life of purpose and abundance in our practices. So, gra...

Have you ever wondered why certain numbers seem to follow you everywhere, or why your birthdate feels like it holds a secret meaning? Numerology is the sacred art of numbers and their energetic vibrations ... a tool that witches, mystics, and seekers have used for centuries to unlock hidden truths about ourselves and the world around us. In this episode, I'll explore the power of numbers: how they...

https://www.patreon.com/witchyworkwishes https://witchyworkwishes.com/ The tale of the flying ointment begins in the shadowy past of medieval and early modern witchcraft traditions. Long before “witch” was a term whispered with fear or disdain, wise folk in villages and forests crafted potions and salves to connect with the spirit world. These ointments were not merely concoctions of whimsy but we...

Today I am diving into something that I think we’ve all felt at one point or another ... how being thankful has become a little cliché. Now, before you throw your pumpkin spice latte at me, hear me out. I’m not saying gratitude isn’t important—it absolutely is. But somewhere along the way, it feels like we’ve turned thankfulness into a performance. It’s something we check off a list rather than so...

In witchcraft, keys are potent symbols of access and control, representing the power to open and close doors in both physical and spiritual realms. They are used as tools for creating boundaries, inviting opportunities, and securing protection. In spell work, a key might "unlock" pathways for new beginnings, self-discovery, or spiritual communication. Conversely, it can "lock away" negativity, clo...

Today we are talking about signs. I talked a little about signs in last week's episode and how I am trying harder and doing better at interpretating my dreams and seeing the signs that are given to me.  But you know what, that is hard to do without a nice little tool box of exercises I can work on and pull from to get better.  This is a muscle of sorts that needs to be trained … educated and g...

Protection is so important in our practices! In order to really dive into today’s topic of being a protected witch, I will be taking a personal and introspective approach to it. I am hoping to combine practical advice with the emotional and spiritual journey of self-protection.  This is coming directly from the messages I believe I was getting (in some sort of way through the dream I had of a glov...
