  • 55. Celebrating Lughnasadh: Seasonal Witchcraft and Rituals
    Jul 24 2025

    In this episode of Becoming Witchy, we return to the sabbat of Lughnasadh (or Lammas)—the first harvest festival on the Wheel of the Year. While Episode 20 covered its history and folklore, this time we’re focusing on modern celebrations, seasonal rituals, and the personal traditions I’ve cultivated around this lush, transitional time of year.


    We’ll talk garden updates, decorating with intention, kitchen witchcraft (hello tomato season!) and ways to work with themes of abundance, gratitude, and preparation. In our ritual that works we’re making an oil for enhancing intuition you can craft now for the darker half of the year.

    Apr 10 2025

    In this episode of Becoming Witchy, we dive into the world of handcrafted beauty as a form of daily ritual, resistance, and self-love. I’m sharing a few simple, herbal-infused recipes I’ve been experimenting with—like a curl cream, a customizable face wash, and even magically charged eyeshadows—all made with intention and ingredients you can feel good about.

    Rooted in herbalism and witchcraft, these DIY beauty products are more than just skin-deep—they’re a way to step out of exploitative systems, deepen your connection with plants, and infuse your everyday routine with power and purpose. Whether you’re a seasoned green witch or just witchy-curious, this episode is packed with practical ideas to help you craft your own magic.

  • 51: The Magic of Mending
    Mar 27 2025

    In this episode of Becoming Witchy, we talk about the transformative power of mending — both in objects and in our own lives, as well as its potential to be used in spellcraft. As a conservator, I’ve witnessed the inherent magic of piecing together what was once broken, drawing parallels to the healing that comes from repairing our hearts and relationships. From the ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi to the symbolic strength of reforged swords in myth and legend, this episode is a reflection on how repair can be a potent act of resilience, renewal, and magic.
