PODCAST

Well, y'all, here we are at the Harvest Moon and I'm here for it. Usually, I resist the incoming chill with everything in my Aries heart, but this past summer was brutal. And so, I'm leaning in, hard.

There's been a shift here on the Covenstead: we have new ebony-feathered friends. They have been vying for position and appear to be quite serious about running off my beloved turkey buzzards (although, I've seen them resting atop the wood line, still on the property). Changes have always been hard for me, but y'all, this one is giving such the magical umph of prophecy.

And so, it's time. There's no more decay or death to eat, they've assured me. My little Witch ass is finally ready to ride.

Love y'all like chicken! Seba

Hey, y'all! I've noticed a bit of a contention on the interwebs that taking back your energy isn't copacetic workings. I'm here to disagree--but with science as my warrant. It's your energy, Batchild. Don't leave it. or your favorite t-shirt, in an abandoned house and jinx your favorite band. Grab the salt and make it a meal! We have new webs to build, after all.

Sorry that this one is a bit short--I'm cooking dinner for the fam tonight and may have whittled away at my day in the garden. Love y'all like chicken! Seba

Hey, y'all! Tonight is question answering night. I've collated a handful over the years about witches from listeners, and while I can only answer them for myself, it was fun to think through.

So snuggle up on the porch and let's talk about familiars, curses, and other yummy concepts.

Love y'all like chicken,
Seba

Y'all, if you've listened to my moon walk over on Patreon, you already know that I'm quite busy right now fighting a predator in my community who is posing as a hero to DV victims. In the meantime, here are some small, simple ways to take back the Craft and make it more meaningful. Toward the end, I speak to spellcrafting and how to approach it from scratch. Hope it helps!

Love y'all like chicken. XOXO, Seba

Y'all, for a very long time I've struggled to explain this funny thing inside of me that demands authenticity, regardless of the cost. I've done my best at explaining that here tonight.

The Latin word "integritas" comes about as close as I can figure, but it has a lot less to do with morality than it does with maintaining a "wholeness," and in my case, my magic.

Snuggle in, Batchildren. Love y'all like chicken!

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
