Y’all, today I’m reflecting on the inherent inconvenience that occurs when walking a dedicated, deeply Pagan path. From the loss of quick and easy chemicals to sharing the harvest on our little farm with the critters of the woods, I have learned that there is a cost to living this way. It’s horribly inconvenient, from time to time. And it’s worth moment. (A ghostly event occurs between minute 15-16, so be aware if these things frighten you!)
Read MoreWe had a blast, y'all! Kanani is one of the three gals from That Witch Life podcast and a Witchy friend of mine, so it will shock no one that we might be related. Settle in as my PNW cousin and I chat about what we inherently carry in our Witch bodies, including Magick memory and how to reconnect to our sacred source.
We also talked about faith, ancestors, connections to the land and trees--like witches do. Snuggle onto the proverbial porch—it’s a good one. Love y'all!
Join me on the porch for a chat about faith in the Craft. Even us older Witches have our shakier moments, and when I need a little extra “umph,” I remember the time my grandma taught me that I was just a lightening bug.
Read MoreHey, y’all! Join me on the porch today for a chat about wards, what they have to do with boundaries, and other practical lessons from our little farm. This land has assuredly given me some valuable lessons, but one of these I wasn’t prepared for: diligent weeding lessens the need for strident warding! As with any other witchcraft lesson, it’s all in the balance—and anything warded up too tight can suffocate vibrant growth. Careful research can often lessen the need for formidable wards, which is a good thing in both the Craft and gardening. After all, if we know the risks, we can make better choices! Snuggle in—this one is a bit long.
Read MorePersonally, I don’t mind if there are spots on my roses if it means that I can eat them. Real work often comes at the cost of aesthetics within an authentic witch life—although, the result can end up being downright breathtaking. So snuggle in and let me tell you a story that starts with, as usual, a plant. Ready?
Read MoreHey, y’all. Sorry that this one is a bit late . . . it was a hard one. I’ve thought for a very long time about why the “Pagan” designation is critical to my Craft, and today I answer that as best I can. It is, in the end, the roots that grow me—wherever that might might be. Join me on the porch to talk about propagation, the nature of Paganism, and a story about the loss that changed the trajectory of my life.
Episode notes:
TW: This episode speaks to the loss of a child and termination of pregnancy.
Well, y’all, this past week as been a mess—but things are on their way up. As usual, I’m just sitting with a microphone and sharing the bumps and narrows of daily witch life. We’ve had “surprise” chickens, a very sick member of my family, a runaway rabbit, and torrential rains. It got to me a little. Join me on the porch to chat about navigating life’s clusterclucks—and why I can’t share the exact details of the spell that pulled me through.
Read MoreY’all, for a long time now, I’ve listened to Rising Appalachia while working my garden, walking the land, and finding my peace out here in the woods. One day, I saw something new coming out of their work: a collaboration of women called Starling Arrow. This wondrous group (featuring Leah Song and Chloe Smith of Rising Appalachia, Tina Malia, Ayla Nereo, and Marya Stark) came together during the darkest part of the 2020 pandemic. The result is nothing less than magical. One of these songstresses agreed to come onto the podcast in the middle of her busy schedule—and I couldn’t be more honored.
Read MoreI know I've told y'all before that to have a good death automatically means to have a good life. This is what I meant by that. The longer I live, the more that I believe this. Settle in on the porch and let’s chat!
Love y'all like chicken,
Seba
Read MoreY’all, this week is just a green love letter back to everyone. As I wanted to give my platform for the Camp Hill Disaster for the week, I wanted to offer a little extra time for plants, plants, plants! So, settle in, Batchildren, and let’s chat about peppers, yucca, and all things growing.
