  Kicking off the Season of the Witch with a Samhain History Lesson

  Oct 4, 202634 minS4

  Send us Fan Mail The season of the witch is upon us! And we begin with a little history lesson on Samhain. I pull card from The Halloween Tarot and The Oracle of the Forgotten Witches, and the results are blunt in the best way. The Ten of Bats lands like Ophelia in Hamlet, while the Kikimora shows how chaos creeps in through clutter, frayed nerves, and misaligned choices. With Venus retrograde in Scorpio and Mercury retrograde approaching also in Scorpio, I talk about why this is prime time for shadow work, relationship review, and restoring order without chasing perfection. We can use the Libra new moon on 10/10 to frame a simple harmony ritual: clean your space, cleanse your energy, and invite peace back into your routines. All you need is a little time and a Temperance card. From there, we go deep on Samhain history and Halloween origins. I share what Samhain means, why there’s no evidence of a Celtic god named Samhain, and how ideas like the need fire, cyclical time, and the thin veil shape modern witchcraft. We also zoom out to connected traditions like Pomona, All Souls, Day of the Dead, Fèt Gede, and Diwali, all circling ancestor connection and the turning of the year. If you’ve been craving a calmer Samhain reset, this one’s for you. Subscribe, share with a witchy friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.

  You Are Witchy Enough Even On Your Busy Days

  Sep 27, 202636 minS4

  Send us Fan Mail We’re standing on a threshold, and Libra season brings the scales: balance, beauty, and the kind of harmony that has to be built in real life. I pull cards that get straight to the root chakra stuff: money, safety, home, and belonging. The Four of Pentacles calls out the tight grip of scarcity mindset and asks us to redefine prosperity beyond cash. The “We Are Family” message shifts the focus to chosen family, lineage, and the ancestors who may be closer than you think right now. If you’ve been feeling tender about the holidays, budgeting, or complicated family dynamics, this is a compassionate reframe. I used the Happy Halloween Tarot and the Morbid Mirror Oracle both by Soni Graves. We also go to the crossroads, literally. A mysterious pile of acorns from woodpeckers turns into a living signpost that pulls in Hecate, nature symbolism, and the reminder that spirit communication can be loud when we’ve been too busy to notice the subtle stuff. From there, we talk about witchy FOMO, imposter syndrome, accessibility in witchcraft, neurodivergence, and why social media performance is not the measure of a real practice. Simple daily witchcraft counts: breath, tea, rest, a walk, a tarot deck in your hands, a playlist on a low-energy day.

  Celebrating the Fall or Spring Equinox with a Balance Check-In

  Sep 20, 202629 minS4

  Send us Fan Mail Want to celebrate the Equinox with me? I have a free event on Insight Timer: https://insig.ht/1C2on1M5l6b Balance doesn’t magically arrive when life calms down. We have to build it, revisit it, and sometimes schedule it in and the equinox is one of the best seasonal moments to do that work with clarity. I’m sharing what I look at when I feel off center, how I tell the difference between balance and harmony, and why the smallest neglected area of life is often the one that changes everything once you feed it again. We start with a card using the Happy Halloween Tarot, pulling the Nine of Pentacles as a sweet reminder to celebrate your wins, define success on your own terms, and enjoy what you’ve already created. I also pull a card from the Morbid Mirror Oracle. From there, we move into equinox journaling prompts and a simple “life audit” across career, relationships, home life, health, and spirit. If you’re overwhelmed or working nonstop, I offer realistic ways to create small pockets of space, plus ritual ideas like nature observation, crystal grids, and seasonal mindfulness. Looking for community? Join Our Coven: https://our-coven.mn.co/landing Then we step into Libra season with Venus-led themes of beauty, pleasure, and restoring flow, before closing with the Full Moon in Aries. Aries brings raw power and fresh-start energy, making it a great time to reflect back to Aries season, take stock of what you planted, and choose a gratitude or release ritual that matches your season whether you’re honoring Mabon or Ostara.

  What a Real Witch Thinks of the Practical Magic Franchise

  Sep 13, 202635 minS4

  Send us Fan Mail This week I chat Practical Magic, the books and the new movie. No Spoilers! But we begin by looking at Virgo season. Our house doesn’t have to be perfect to feel like a sanctuary. This week we lean hard into Virgo season energy: cleaning, clearing, organizing, and auditing what’s actually working in our lives. I share the real-life, not-aesthetic version of “ritualizing your life” from deep cleaning to freezer diving, and why caring for the mundane can be one of the most powerful forms of everyday witchcraft and self care. Our tarot pull is The Star, a bright signal of healing, resilience, and guidance. I also pull a message from the Morbid Mirror Oracle, “We are one, we do not have nature, we are nature,” and talk about what that means for grounding, seasonal living, and the way our homes and bodies hold energy. Along the way, I share simple home energy cleansing tips you can do with grocery store items. Sign up for my free live Equinox class: https://insig.ht/LAhGT6r5l6b Then we shift into witchy culture of Practical Magic, from the books to why the movie matters as a women-led story that wasn’t treated kindly when it first came out. I talk about showing up for the stories that reflect us, and choosing not to tear women down for aging or appearance. If you’re craving a calm reset with a little magic, this one’s for you. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a refresh, and leave a review with the small ritual you’re trying this week.

  A Witch's Perspective and Preparation for Ghosts and Hauntings

  Sep 6, 202630 minS4

  Send us Fan Mail We start with the energy of the week with the new moon in Virgo. Our tarot of the week is the High Priestess. She points us toward quiet, stillness, and listening to our inner guide. I also pulled an oracle card from Morbid Mirror: Preparation for the Afterlife. Together these cards invite us to go within. Virgo season energy invites us into cleansing your home, decluttering, organizing your space, and resetting your routines. I share simple cleansing ideas you can actually do, from energetic clearing to getting your tools and environment aligned with your goals. Then we get into the paranormal: what we mean by “ghosts” and “spirits,” why different cultures draw different lines, and the big difference between an imprint haunting that replays like a loop and an interactive spirit you might be able to communicate with. We also cover spiritual protection before and after haunted places, including prayers for protection, cord cutting, and cleansing options like herbs, sacred smoke, selenite, egg cleansing, and even holy water. I also what sensing the paranormal feels like in the body: cold or heat shifts, sudden emotion, racing heart, dizziness, words that pop into your mind, and other body cues that can signal activity. If you’re curious about tools, I talk tarot, pendulums, scrying, dowsing rods, and more, plus a personal story of an early ghost sighting that sent us straight to research for confirmation. If this conversation sparks something for you, subscribe, share it with a friend who loves ghost stories, and leave a review. What’s the most convincing paranormal moment you’ve ever had?
