E191: The Witch and the Craft of Nomenclature

Ah, how I would like to rest on my porch and not do this work anymore, but here it is: the process of reclaiming a name. I ran smack into myself (hypothetically speaking) on my way home from the courthouse the other day. It's my least favorite place to be, that construction of brick and mortar and legal moorings. But it was a good thing, that ride back to my little farm just before dark. Because, on the way, the past shook loose a little.

Reclaiming, renaming yourself, that's some powerful Witch work. Snuggle in on the porch and let me tell you about the man that showed me how.

Love y'all like chicken,
Seba

E190: The Back of the Recipe Card (did my spell work?)

Well y'all, if you listened to the porch chat from last night, you know where we are going. Do y'all have a journal like this? Sometimes, we need the notes, the thoughts, and the evidence of a spell.

Oh and: promise to put up the recipe about Cowboy Candy tomorrow on Patreon. Love y'all like chicken!

xoxo, Seba

E188: Samhain Lessons (about Winter Solstice)

Well, y'all: my dad came to visit. It's been a very long time, but I was struggling with an essay for a magazine that asked me to write about winter. And then, there he was.

I love y'all so much! Hope your Samhain goes brilliantly and that you never forget to get incredibly still and just . . . listen.

xoxo, Seba

E186: Sometimes It Ain't Apples: Harvesting Everything (Yes, Everything)

Hey, y'all. I'm being interviewed in a few hours by the Science Witch Podcast and one of their questions got my brain moving. Down the rabbit hole I went!

Hope so much that you are harvesting what will nourish you and your Witchy soul.

Love you like chicken,

E185: The Odyssey--Necessary Time Travel

Just got off the interstate, y'all! My trip was . . . interesting. Sometimes healing means further surgery, but I'm on it.

Also, I briefly embedded a statement on what's happening right now in our country. I did this on purpose, suddenly and in the middle of the episode. I'm sure y'all understand why.

Love y'all like chicken,

E183: Sacred Harvests and Spaces That Matter

I've been studying on this, y'all: making sacred places in my life to harbor my Craft through the darker days to come. In the past, I have put myself last as I built my store for winter. Let’s be honest: there were very few special places carved out just for me. Here in the last year of my fifties, something has shifted within me. Now, I know how critical those spaces, those harvests, truly are as a Witch. It’s almost time to ride, Witches. What have you put up for that journey?

Thought I'd share, and as always: love y'all like chicken. Seba

E182: The Reclaiming

'm whooped, y'all. It took me a week to release this, just struggling over how personal it all was and then I remembered: this is what we do.

We all know that life moves on, sometimes brutally so, stealing away both youth and time. But there are things that folks should not to be able to take from you. I'm leaving in a few weeks on a mission to recovery a few of those buried treasures.

And I've got a shovel.

Love y'all like chicken,
Seba
