E148: Re-release of Down the Rabbit Hole--Interview with My Partner

Hey, y’all—it’s been a long time since I was able to release new content (except for on Patreon), but I wanted to keep this channel alive until after October. At that point, I’ll be free to share with y’all publicly again!

And so, in the meantime: I’m releasing old “extra content” from my Patreon. I’m starting with an episode from the way-back-machine, but then will share all eight extra content recordings with y’all!

E146: Animist Child--Mothered by the Trees

I've spent a lot of time, y'all, in my woods lately.  As a child, the woods were my momma, the cradle that saved me from trauma, and they still know my name.  Thought I'd share.  

Love y'all like chicken,
Seba

E144: SPELLCRAFT, IN CONTEXT (and an Alabama possum)

Hey y'all, I know I'm a little late this week.  I'm at the precipice of making a huge choice and I reckon my heart just couldn't beat right for a few days.  But I'm here, slinging mud off my bones.  So, snuggle up on the porch and let’s chat about how contextualization is just as important as intent when thinking through our Craft. A possum comes in to play, but y’all expect that, right? Me, a Witch, in context as a Southerner—as always.

Also, y’all send good thoughts to us down here in Alabama. The folks in charge have lost their damn minds. I’m a Witch living in a Wannabe Gilead—and it’s only getting worse. Standing for my birthright as an Alabama Witch and doing what I can to fight for my neighbors, my DIL, and my grandbaby. Don’t forget us? We’re still here.

E143: Ain't You Tired? Treading Water to Manifestation

Hey, y’all. I’ve been thinking about focus lately and how much energy it takes to just stay in place. It turns out, I’ve been treading water. And I’m exhausted. So, I’ve been doing a little manifestation work—creating a path that doesn’t exist quite yet. It’s work, to come out of trauma. Where we land can be a place that we design as witches.

E142: LAMBING SEASON--AN IMBOLC LOVE LETTER

Hey, y’all. In a lot of ways, this is my “unsilencing of the lambs,” a love letter to Imbolc. Today’s episode is short, organic, and a bit of a ramble on the idea of a “blood and bone” impregnation, rather than fertilization. In my experience, the darkest nights of the season are also the time of the deepest growth—bony growth—of that which we have sown within ourselves.

E141: WITCH SHAME AND THE VALUE OF REPAIR WORK

Hey, y'all: I've dug deeply into this idea of witch shame.  You know, that feeling that comes after a crafting doesn't work, or something horrible happens and you didn't/couldn't stop it.  I also am currently standing in half ruins and wanted to chat with y'all about the critical nature of doing the repair work, rather than just walking away, from the things that matter to my little Witch heart.
