Hey, y’all! If drumming is your thing, this is your episode. I chatted with old friends Eric and Mary Olson from Rhythm Healer Drums and we did a deep dive into all things drumming. Together, they took me on a little journey of my own as they told their magical story. I am reminded that there is a sacred thump under all things here on this wonderous Earth. And the beat, as they say, goes on!
Read MoreHey, Y’all! A Patreon supporter suggested this topic, a pretty good one if you ask me. Let’s talk about the things I wish I’d known all those years ago about the Craft. As usual, there are stories—but what witch worth her salt would even consider not weaving a tale here or there? Snuggle in for a longer one. Remember to write to me at seba@southernfriedwitch.com with your own “things you wish you had known.”
Hey, y’all. I’m not quite done with this topic: I’m like winter over here, stomping in with “and one more thing!” Today, I go deeper into the issue of connecting back to the witch body, sharing everything from my menopause experience to how I take myself to water (a blessing). The conversation about the human body is wrought with landmines: but I’m navigating it the best I can, y’all.
Read MoreHey, y’all! Today, it’s just you and me and a Listener Letter. I’ve been thinking about how hard it is to connect to my aging body without just throwing my hands up and sinking into the wrinkles, the changes, the evolution of my fleshy home. There’s power there, my witch kin. Follow me into the forgotten frontier: the corporeal witchy body. It leads right back to the soil, the trees, the rivers. Let’s take a walk.
Read MoreToday is very special, y’all. Krista was a podcast listener who wrote on my page one day to tell me the story of her blended family. When the war broke out in the Ukraine, Krista (an American expatriate witch living in Germany) felt compelled to do something to help. It turned out that the pregnant woman she would give her home to was also a witch. And from there, it’s just magic.
Read MoreHey, y’all! I have a friend with me on the porch today, Rhyd Wildermuth. He is an author, writer, Druid, podcaster, and co-founder/editor of Gods and Radicals Press—an anti-capitalism publishing house for the print journal, “A Beautiful Resistance.” But today, we are just wandering through a conversation about connecting with the land and how that equals magical resistance.
Hey, y’all! We are still talking about growing things today. After all, the preparatory season for the garden is upon us and it’s an exciting time of the year! Snuggle in on the porch and let’s chat about onions, tatsoi, and the lesson I learned from trying to force a plant to grow where it didn’t want to be. Love, Seba
Read MoreIf growing things, working with the land, and tending the soil is not of any interest to you, I highly suggest you skip this episode. Otherwise, y’all settle on the porch and let’s dig in! Love y’all like chicken, Seba
Hey, y’all! Join me on the porch to chat about how we witchify our tools for the Craft. The deeper the connection to these, the more sacred the work. Today, I’m talking about my walking stick (aka stav/stave) and where it came from, why it matters, and how my interactions with it evolves over time.
Read MoreHey, y’all! Nestle in on the porch and let’s talk about the grungy, necessary shadow work that can make or break a witch’s Craft. At the beginning of any journey, the dried clay gets knocked off my shoes—especially if the road ahead looks wild and ragged. This path ahead in my Craft is no different.
