Have you ever felt like an imposter in your own life and practice? Do you find yourself waiting for permission to claim the identities you know to be true? Far too many of us are failing to fully step into our own lives. We make art, but are afraid to call ourselves artists. We write poetry, but never call ourselves writers. We engage in witchy practices but avoid the identity of witch, even when we wish to claim it. We forget that honest practice and intentional participation are often more ...

Lammas, also known as, Lughnasadh is a time for appreciating the abundance of the season. It’s a moment to rejoice in the bounty before us. But what needs to happen to reach this point of abundance? All too often, we overlook the fact that current abundance comes from a period of past labor. We can’t enjoy the fruits if we don’t put in the work. Mother Nature demonstrates this process beautifully. Consider the journey a wheat seed must take in order to become a loaf of bread. Many small, incr...

What does a witchy practice look like? Are there a specific set of rules we must follow? These are questions that many witchy-leaning folks tend to ask, especially when they're in the early stages of crafting a practice. Depending on one's approach, a witchcraft practice might look highly structured and precise or down-to-earth and unfussy. You may be drawn to intricate tools used by many high magic practitioners. Or you may like the everyday items found in your environment often favored by l...

Why do we feel the need to play small in our lives? What keeps us from sharing our gifts and living in our fullness? It turns out that the nervous system impacts our expression more than we might have realized. We’re wired for survival and safety, so stepping outside of the box, even to take a healthy risk, feels deeply dangerous. Knowing this, is there a way to expand oneself while also acknowledging the human need to stay protected? As we wander through the forest, consider your own narrati...

The Universe has a unique way of communicating with us, but often we're too distracted to notice the signs we're given. Sometimes we do notice the signs, but quickly disregard them as mere "coincidence". But what if that repeated number, animal visitation, reoccurring symbol or song, or electrical occurrence isn't a coincidence at all? What if these are truly signs from the Divine? Is it possible that our passed loved ones, ancestors, guardian angels, and spirit guides really are working to g...

How do we live a good life? What components do we need to create a purposeful existence? Far too often, we get trapped into thinking that our lives must look a certain way by a certain age. We think we have to have it all figured out before we even know what we truly want out of life. What if our lives could feel rich and creative and exciting at any age? As we strive to beat the oppressive summer heat, let’s reflect on how to bring more love, engagement, and excitement into our days no matte...

Community is a deeply important aspect of human life. It’s not a specific place exactly, it’s more of a shared space of belonging. We might find community in our local neighborhoods or even virtually across continents. What matters is that there is a common purpose within the group, something that brings everyone together through a shared need. Over the past 2.5 years, this podcast has built a community of lovely witchy people spanning across 141 countries. In an effort to build this circle m...

The summer solstice is here! This is a time of abundance, fertility, and joy. And yet, many people forgo the experience of joy, thinking that pleasure must wait until later, when they’re a “better” version of themselves. But what if later never comes? Tomorrow is not guaranteed for any of us; therefore, we must embrace joy in the now. To do this, we must become fully embodied humans, using all of our senses to tap into the soul living within. Enjoy the meal, take the swim, dance with abandon;...

How do you start your day? Be honest… Do you greet the day with intention? Or does chaos reign each morning? It’s no secret that many of us have aren’t morning people, we’d rather hit the snooze button a few (dozen!) times than develop a morning routine. Some of us habitually reach for our phones before we’ve barely opened our eyes. Unfortunately, our reluctant waking may set us up for a less magical day and a less restful night. By creating a morning ritual infused with feminine energy, we g...

At the end of the weekend, do you find yourself asking, “Where did the time go?!” Does an endless list of tasks leave you feeling like all you do is work? What if we could reframe the way we spend our time and view it through the lens of self-care? There’s no denying that laundry and meal prep can seem like drudgery, but these tasks are also necessary to be fully functioning and independent humans. Caring for oneself often involves unglamorous work, but it can be sacred if we shift our perspe...
