What happens when you step out of your comfort zone and embrace the unknown? Join us on a magical journey to Sedona, where Christy recounts her transformative experience at a women's retreat. Initially wrestling with skepticism and the desire for familiar faces, she soon discovered the joy of unexpected connections through carpooling with fellow participants.

I never thought the scent of beetroot would herald a magical discussion, but return guest, Julia Halina Hadas, author of "The Modern Witchcraft Book of Moon Magic," proved us wrong. A Witch, A Mystic & A Feminist are back this week, and Julia leads us through the moonlit path of intuition and healing within witchcraft, contrasting it with the broader strokes of astrology's zodiac signs and celestial bodies. As we lingered on the pages of her book (some mysteriously infused with that earthy aroma), we found ourselves delving into the synchrony of science and spirituality, and the quirky tales of Julia's past, including her stint as a cover band vocalist.

Amidst laughter over beet-inspired air fresheners, we surrendered to the lunar energy that has always tugged at human heartstrings. Julia's insights into the moon—once a source of childhood spooks, now a beacon of cycles, energy, and feminine power—enriched our understanding of its place in contemporary culture. Could this resurgence of interest in the moon's magic hint at a collective shift in consciousness, or is it the personal spiritual awakening of individuals? We navigated the myriad traditions and practices of moon magic, celebrating the moon's phases and how they shape our rituals for manifesting desires.

As we wound down our celestial sojourn, Julia shared her visions for the future: crafting spells attuned to moon signs, a potential cocktail book blending mixology and magic, and her budding YouTube channel. Her passion for preserving the depth of moon sign wisdom in her work was palpable, as were the personal adventures coloring her writing journey. Julia left us not only with a newfound appreciation for the intricacies of lunar cycles but also with an eager anticipation for the mystical mixtures she's brewing for her readers and viewers next.
