S2/E44: "YOU MAKE CRONING FUN"--A LOVE LETTER/CLAPBACK TO MY FELLOW CRONIES

Hey, y’all! Join me on the porch for a talk about all things Crone: the good, the bad, and the ugly. What really matters is this: we do not lose our intrinsic selves as we age. Rather, we add on and become more—but only if we open our hearts and our minds and continue to grow. Some of my Cronies are holding onto ideologies that no longer serve them, not to mention our communities, and a bit of spiritual Death Cleaning can go a long way toward cleaning up that nasty mess. Let’s witchify every damn thing, including growing older.

Personally, I might just endeavor to be an audacious hag. Snuggle up: it’s story time!

Love y’all! Seba

S2/E42: Unsacred Acts: Policing the Identity of "Witch"

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.

S2/E40: Homegrown Magic and Living Wards

Hey, 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.

S2/E39: THE THINNING TIME--HARVEST, GHOSTS, AND LONGEST WALK

Hey, 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.

S2/E38: FARMCRAFT FOR THE GREEN WITCH

Well, 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.

S2/E37: THE SURVIVOR'S PLAYLIST

Hey, 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.
