Witchy Work Wishes

Welcome to Witchy Work Wishes, I am your host Charlene and today’s episode # 95 is all about the Full Moon and how we can work with this very energetic and fun phase of the moon’s cycle.  It’s gearing us up for next week’s episode – another addition to the after-hours segment of Witchy Work Wishes and my spellbound spirits series – where we will be making full moon cocktails.  I do have a couple o...

Lughnasa, also known as Lammas, has always fascinated me as one of the lesser-known festivals.  But it is deeply significant when talking about Celtic festivals. Celebrated on August 1st, this one marks the beginning of the harvest season, a time when the first grains and fruits of the year are gathered. The festival is named after the Celtic god Lugh, a deity of light and skill.  Lughnasa is one...

This is an up close and personal recording of me and my two boys up in the High Sierra Mountains. We are asking questions that are deep and true to our hearts and pulling from both the Rune deck that I am newly working with and my trusted Crow Tarot Deck that we have used in previous recordings. This episode recording is listed as explicit due to the language (at times) and nature of the questions...

Quick Reminder - no episode this week as I am up in the High Sierra Mountains! I'll be back next week talking about bridging the Norse Paganism with my Witchcraft practice and then the following week will have a full episode on Lughnasa! :-) Charlene https://witchyworkwishes.com/

This week ... we are building our rune sets! Join me and my guest Justin, the Pagan Padre, on our 2nd episode of the two part series about the Elder Futhark Runes!

If you would like to know more abo...

I am on a big personal journey creating my own rune set and this two-part series with Justin the Pagan Padre guides us step by step in the learning process to do it. This first part is all about what each rune looks like, what each rune means and learning if there is a Norse Deity that ties into the energy of it. There are 24 runes so this episode does go a little over an hour but there is a perfe...

It happens to the best of us ... it happens to ALL of us. Stress piles on and we get overwhelmed. Today though - it's all about recognizing the signs so we can be proactive and not reactive. I have some great tips and tricks to help combat our stress and relieve the pressure of being overwhelmed. It gets a little personal (again) as I share what's going on in my life and why I needed this...

Welcome to Witchy Work Wishes – Today is an open mic type setting again …this time with Anika and Connor. And it’s a direct extension from last week’s episode where the three of us were testing out some Waxing Moon cocktails in the spellbound spirits series.   Honestly, we just let the mic keep recording as we shared some personal stuff, some family stuff and some talk about religion & witchcr...

It's time for some waxing moon energy with our Spellbound Spirits series and today's episode is lots of fun! I have Anika and Connor joining me to help create some magical drinks! Our waxing moon herbs for today are Dandelion, Yerba Mate & Ginger. And sneak peak for next week .... the conversation just flowed so I kept the record button going! I'll air that episode on the last week...

Today’s topic is an important one in my own personal practice. I am highly tied to cats … they are my strongest familiar that have been with me the longest (with Crows & Ravens coming in a close 2nd). I did a two-part episode on Witchcraft & Cats back in August of last year and today’s Herbal Magic episode on Catnip is another layer to this strong connection – for me.  Catnip (Nepeta catar...

This is a personal recording for me ... which goes through the family drama and emergency we had this past week with my Mom. Trigger warning, I do talk about open heart surgery here. But, it all ties into the specific Black Salt and May 1st potion I made for my Mom for Mother's Day! https://witchyworkwishes.com

It's May ... and that means our veil is thin and other realms are more easily available to us. Do you want to talk with the Fae .... do you want to work with Fairies? I do too (on both accounts)! I had a fun episode last year about fairies, but for today’s podcast …. I wanted dive deeper into the origins, characteristics, and cultural significance of the Fae and fairies and their mystical worl...

This time of year …. It’s all about balance, Spring and rebirth. Ostara originated in Germany and both the celebration and goddess are German.   Back in December … we lite a fire for Yule celebrating the sun that would return.  And then with the Imbolc fertility of Brigid … The light that would overtake the dark. Well, it’s here!  The wheel of the year marks the beginning of Spring with Ostara.  O...

Valerian is an “old school” herb that has many wonderful benefits in our practice – you just need to get past the smelly part with the root.  I am adding this herb to my garden this year and I am really excited to work with it in the fall.  Join me today with another episode in our Herbal Magic series. Valerian has long historical use in help with sleeping disorders and insomnia. It has a calming...

Welcome to Witchy Work Wishes! I certainly don’t want to say we are starting off with an easy one …. Because if you are like me, you struggled at the beginning with the art of baking bread.  But, for today …. Magical Bread it is.  And the reason I am starting off with bread is because, it was the first thing I wanted to replace in my kitchen from my usual store-bought bread.  So join me today for...
