I'm back! We've moved to The Netherlands and are getting settled in, and I'm ready to start recording episodes again!

All the struggles that came with making that huge move had me thinking about how we can have a tendency to be in elemental phases, and how that also correlates to a main "default" phase for each stage of life, like Maiden, Mother, and Crone (or child, adult, and older). What if the Crone/Older phase isn't about time, but about using the elements? Let's talk about that!

How can you practice witchcraft when you live with people who are against it? In this episode, I go over several things you can do that are completely witchy, but very low-key.

Also, made a mistake when I was talking about putting things in your mini-alter to represent the Elements. I said Earth twice and missed Fire. Fire can be any crystal or stone that has a red or orange color to it, or candles, or even a piece of charcoal.

Trigger warning: brief mention of childhood sexual abuse

We've all heard "Do your shadow work!!" from every source imaginable, but what even is shadow work and how do you do it? It took me YEARS to actually understand what it means, so this is my attempt to explain it in a way that might help someone else get there faster.

This is just a short episode to let you know what's going on with me, but first, I had to tell you how my office ghost tried to kill me right before I recorded this. The rest of the episode is about how my brain is trying to kill me. Fun stuff all around!

First, THANK YOU to the person who commented and let me know my first attempt at this episode was the unedited version. I deleted the episode so fast that I didn't get your name, but good looking out!

Most people are multi-faceted enough that they don't fit into one specific type of witch, but it can still be fun talk about them. Realizing you could fit in a certain type can also give you new avenues to explore or focus that hadn't occurred to you before. Today's episode is about Hearth Witches, Kitchen Witches, and Green Witches.

It's been EIGHT MONTHS since I did an episode! But I'm back and grabbing hold of my witchy ways with both fists. I was so not prepared for any of the things I was dealing with, so today's episode is all about how you can be more prepared to get through rough times by using your witchy toolset.

Let's clarify the difference between casting a circle for a ritual versus a spell, and go into detail about what a ritual actually is and what it might include. Of course, as always in witchcraft, the real answer is there is no real answer. Hopefully this episode can at least give you some ideas about how you might define these things for yourself.
