We've all done it, haven't we? Just went ahead with our normal warding practices, not one thought to whether or not they even could still hold water--much less, something nefarious.
Snuggle in and let's chat about rotted boards, broken entryways, and our own complicity when it comes to protecting what we matters.
Love y'all like chicken-, Batchildren.
xoxo, Seba

Okay, y'all: Mandi wrote in and had the best question ever that focused (mostly) on what to do with offerings to ancestors/Fae/deities. It's one of my favorite topics, and y'all know we had to hit the dirt on this one.
Settle in. And thank you, Mandi. :) Love y'all like chicken, Seba

So, many moons ago, I did an episode on getting back to the Witch body as a way to become more whole. Then, the other day on the phone with a Cauldron Level Batchild, I was asked: okay, well, what do we do when we've walked the steps to answer the call to action and need to get back to our body? To rest, to restore, what do we do?
Damn, Beth. What a perfect question. I hope my answer isn't too shocking, or weird, but: it's what I do. And that's the only place I can speak from.
I love this episode more than most. It mattered more than many. And I cannot thank you enough for asking it.
Love y'all like chicken! Seba
P.S. Get yor' ass outside and play, Batchildren. Do it like your life depends upon it. Because it does. :)

This one is incredibly personal, to say the least. But we have become personal, Batchildren. So let's go.
Wasted time is a real thing, no matter how much sunshine we try to pump up our own arse. It grieves me that I’ve done it, and this is what I’m doing to address that loss. I have one year left of my fifties, and I plan to shove as much joy as possible into it.
Manifest something. Make it awkward. :)
Witchify it.
Love y'all like chicken,
Seba

This is the last installment of "what to do if you are called to action." Plan, prepare, practice, then: JUMP. With every action, there is risk. Assessing that, accepting that, is critical in the fight ahead of us.
Protecting what we love is worth it. And if energy only understands “go,” then what is our energy and where are we sending it?
Love y’all like chicken.

Hey, y'all, this is a long one. I met this listener at the Batchildren Ball several years back and she feels like family. So I gave it hell. She's a bit stuck, the way we all have been at some point in our lives, between potential paths to take. Thank you, K, for writing in!
Find that fire, Witch. Then, add wood. Love, Seba

This is Part II of “Called to Action,” what do you do next? Learning to nurture sustainable energy sources is a no brainer, but for me, the last place I consider is myself. Snuggle up on the porch.
Let's talk about the next step in preparing for what's to come. Love y'all like chicken, Seba

Hey, y'all: tonight I'm sharing the story of a very dear and wonderful young witch who struggled through quite the Christian quagmire to be where she is today. I'm honored to read that tale of survival, but want to make sure that all of you beautiful Batchildren are prepared: she shares stories of fighting to stay alive (s*#cide) and I will lean up against stories of SA in my own contextualization of it all. Be careful to take care of yourself first and assess whether you can listen to this one.
And Dandelion: you are the fiercest flower to ever break through concrete. Love y'all like chicken,
Seba

I've seen the calls to action, far and wide, and am working on my own ways to be a part of the Witch's Resistance--as we all should be. But, y'all, the question I keep getting is: how do I even begin? Hold a sign? Join a local group? And the answer is, of course, yes.
But to be a bit more specific: the way that I begin is always to sharpen my athame, my skill sets, and my methodology. And none of those moments are wasted, especially if we have a small window of time to ready ourselves. Snuggle in on the porch, Batchildren. This is a hard talk, but we need to have it.
And get you a whetstone.
Love you like chicken,
Seba

Y'all, Mother Nature just hates a blank space. She doesn't like being naked (shocking, I know) and will cover herself with whatever she can to heal Herself. We, even as Witches, are fond of carving voids (btw, did you know that the word "avoid" comes from this other lovely word?) whether we realize it or not.
But, and this is a really cool "but": she loves the path of least resistance. It's the best resistance, of all--but it requires one hell of a dose of courage and constitution.
Walk with me a little here? Would love to hear your thoughts on this one.
Love ya like chicken,
Seba
