PODCAST

Hey, y’all! The other day, someone asked me why I celebrate my own birthday—as if it was a shameful thing to do. After decades of feeling that very way, I turned things around about seven years ago. Every year, I take a walk with the moon and to ponder growing older, a brave decision that I make every day and one that I take very seriously. In my fifty-seven years, I’ve not always been “given” a wonderful birthday. And so, as my hair turns ever more white, I give it to myself. It’s the deepest magic I’ve ever known as a witch. Y’all join me on the porch and, remember: witchify ‘ary damn thang, Batchildren!

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!

Hey, 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.

Hey, 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.

Today 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.

Hey, 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

If 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
