Happy Lammas! It’s the time of the first harvest, so in this episode we talk a little bit about the holiday and how to celebrate. We also talk about the resurgence of veiling as part of spiritual practice, and then we dive right into the connection between witchcraft and religion. Spoiler alert: You can belong to any religion or have no religious beliefs at all and still be a witch! Whether you’re a beginner or looking to reconnect with the craft, everyone is welcome to listen to The Witch of the Hollow.

It’s time to cast a spell! In this episode I walk you through spell work step by step. We ground and protect ourselves, create a sacred space, set up the spell, raise the energy, and do the work. No special tools needed! I also take a little time to explain why you probably haven’t been cursed or hexed (in case you were worried)- and of course I complain about social media. Grab a big cup of coffee or tea and join me for this episode of The Witch of the Hollow.

Happy Summer Solstice! These three fundamentals of witchcraft are so important to study and put into practice! Before you start any sort of energetic work, I highly recommend exploring these exercises and learning to use them regularly.

In this episode we talk about grounding- what it is, how to do it, and why it’s important in witchcraft. You don’t have to meditate or be good at visualization to practice this essential skill. I also give you some practical exercises to use when grounding on your own. We then talk about how to cleanse yourself, your magickal tools, and your sacred space/home. Finally, I provide some suggestions for protecting yourself and your space against negative energy so that you can work your best magick.

Whether you’re a beginner or looking to reconnect with the craft, everyone is welcome to listen to The Witch of the Hollow.
