Well, y’all: I only apologize for my tone. I tried to re-record it, but the anger came out anyway—so I went with it. While there is some contention out there in the Witch world that the designation of “Witch” is not to be self-awarded, I contend that this is, well, unmitigated hogwash. This episode is for the new witches, the baby witches, the solitary witches, but also for anyone who proports to hold the magic wand that creates them.
Hey, Y’all! A listener wrote in and wanted me to speak on the issue of balancing magic with the rearing of small children. I got you, hon. I remember raising mine and trying to find time to “do magic,” not realizing that I was already living it in every moment.
Read MoreHey, Y’all! Join me on the porch for a little talk about how to forge agreements with living things—as well as inanimate ones—that are already around your home. So often, new witches feel outside of these practices, but there are simple and sweet ways to begin.
Read MoreHey, y’all! Terrin (my partner) and I have little chats, friendly arguments, and other shenanigans over on the SFW Patreon about once per month.
Read MoreHey, y’all! The light has shifted and we now are walking toward the longest night, and I’m here for it. This summer has been somewhat brutal—although, if predictions are correct, the winter will be, as well. That reprieve that is on the way, that golden space in between, has been beckoning me. Today is all about ghost stories, preparing for end of the year, and reminding myself that my own beloved dead walk with me.
Read MoreWell, y’all, pull up a chair on the porch—but don’t forget your hand-fan! It’s just been blistering hot and boy howdy, my garden has taken a hit. Today, we’re chatting about the struggles, joys, and necessity of getting back to growing our own food, but also our own ingredients for the craft.
Read MoreHey, y’all. I’m sharing a little secret weapon today on how I deal with “trauma bubbles” in the middle of the night. Of course, Stranger Things had to come up . . . but here it is. As desperate as I was to survive my own “upside down” places, I developed this method to stitch good stuff to the horror of my childhood, as well as some of my adulthood, to battle those astral nasties.
Hey, y’all! It’s been a while since I answered letters on the air, so here we go! One of today’s stories traverse that feeling that we all get from time to time: we aren’t good enough, we aren’t real, we aren’t magical.
Read MoreScoot up a chair on the porch, because today I’m telling y’all about the third version of blessing someone’s heart—and it’s a doozy. We all know that the southern version can be sweet or salty, but there is a space in between that is nothing short of magical.
Read MoreWell, y’all, as usual I started off talking about one thing and landed on another. Today, we lightly traverse cleaning up our own energetic spaces—but then walk into the world of the weirdly wonderful.
TW: This post brings up something akin to conversion therapy (briefly) and childhood trauma.
