PODCAST

Y'all, I simply cannot let it go. Sometimes, a Batchild will say something that hits deep and then? I'm on the porch talking to the trees for a bit, lol.

If there's anything that my Witch ecology has struggled to teach me, it's this lesson: sometimes, you have to let it die. That kind of acceptance changes everything, but it's not without the grinding of teeth that comes with letting go.

Snuggle up on the porch, Batchildren. Time for another story.

XOXO,
Seba

I have a short story, y'all, and a reading to share with you tonight. As everyone knows quite well, orb weavers and I go way back. Tonight, one had a reminder for me.

Snuggle up on the porch. It's storytime.

Love y'all like chicken,
Seba

I've been thinking a lot about what we give up, what we allow to slip away, and what can actually be stolen from us. I assure you, Batchildren: your magic cannot be stolen. I know it feels that way sometimes, especially when we love someone. But you can always refuse, especially when it comes to your light.

Be careful what you concede to losing.

Love y'all like chicken,
Seba

Y'all, if you listened to my porch talk on Patreon the other day, you already know where we are going here. Thanks to everyone who attended the online book launch for Farmcraft: An Ecology of Witchfolk, y'all are precious!

In this episode, we are digging in deep: what is the difference in timing, intuition, and kairos? Understanding these nuances is an especially critical tool to have in your Craft box.

Hope this one helps, especially when lightening strikes.

Love y'all like chicken,
Seba

Y'all, I thought we'd sink into something a bit more Witchy, as I reckon we are all super tired these days. This one matters, much more than you might think.

Also, I stopped fighting the cicadas at the end of this episode. They were so damn loud right outside the window. If you listen close in the last five minutes or so, you'll hear them.

Love y'all like chicken,

Part II: Y’all, It’s been a while (and now I can hear the song by Staind in my head) since I’ve had to actually deploy my sword.  As a Crone, as a grandma, I thought this was over.  Ah, the folly of a Gen-X Witch.

And I’m ready.  But it does occur to me that I’ve talked with y’all about dropping grief and lifting steel, but I haven’t gone in deep on how to prepare.  This extra long episode digs into that—sorry about how long I went—but it was time to share it.

Don’t ever say die, Batchildren.  Snuggle in close on the porch and let’s strategize, shall we? 

I'm leaving this release open for all levels. Y'all all need this one. xoxo

Love y’all like chicken,

Hey, y'all, I hope you had a wonderful Summer Solstice/Litha! Thank you again for letting me take that weekend off-- I really needed to focus and be in that moment.

We talked from the porch about this jumping off place for the second half of the year and I have thoughts about what that means, especially for this old witch. In considering the time to stop just holding the door against asshattery, it has occurred to me that I had misplaced my sword.

It was packed away, a bit dusty, but I found it.

Love y'all like chicken! Seba

Y'all, it's sweltering down here. I saw stars today, and not the fun kind, working out in the yard.

Let's talk about Midsummer, aka Litha, and the harvests we forget to revel in as the longest night approaches.

There's only one way to go from there, Batchildren. I plan to wallow in every sweaty moment of it.

Love y'all like chicken,
Seba
