PODCAST

Well, Batchildren. It's been a long ride, but here we are: episode 199. Holy crap. How did that happen? I remember when we started, all those years ago, when I had no idea why it would matter yet.

We were all young and naive together. And it totally mattered.

But here we are now, in the dead of winter, on a pivotal, magical evening: the night that Cailleach gives way to Brigid. Blessed Imbolc to all of you. Don't forget the oats for Brigid's cow, or your shawls and blessed beds, but while you are out there: don't forget her momma. Cailleach has cared for us all in this dark time, but more: she has shed blood for us.

Love y'all like chicken, stay warm, Seba

Y’all, this one was recorded as ice and freezing storms threatened my homestead. At the same time, other “icy” forces were raiding (and still do) in monstrous ways. As a Gen-X Witch, I was taught long ago what to do in cases such as these.

Snuggle up on the porch and let me tell you a story (or three) about the magical effect of laughter upon a monster.

It's been a while, my loves, since I've done this level of work. I needed time, healing, and a space to breathe. You know, it's hard to determine the exact moment that will be safe enough to put weight on a previously broken bone, but I've done just that.

And it held me. Welcome to the Year of the Horse. Let's ride, Batchildren.

Love y'all like chicken,
Seba

I've thought on this one a while, Batchildren. When, how, and how loud do we stand for what is right? What does it mean for our Craft when we choose Sweden?

Please snuggle with me on the porch for this one--I want your feedback.

I don't fully have my voice back, but I had something to say. Sometimes, we are very slow on the draw to cull our gardens--for reasons of love, familiarity, or even fear. But it's part of a very Witchy life, Batchildren. So, brave up, grab your spade, and do the work.

If you usually take your time listening to these episodes: shake things up and listen right now. It's almost over, and if you need a kairos moment, shake the dust off and click play.

Hey y'all, I've been thinking about bones, the ones we work with, the ones we keep, and how that relates to Craft.

The caretakers of these matter more than we think.

Winter is hard on this old country Witch, but it's a perfect time to put up a baneful box. When in an emergency, I don't always have time to source everything I need. That's where my emergency "kit" comes in fine and dandy. And in the dark nights? Why, that's the perfect time to prepare.

Hang in there, Batchildren. We've got this. Winter has no choice but to be here, and eventually, will have no recourse but to leave.

Ah, how I would like to rest on my porch and not do this work anymore, but here it is: the process of reclaiming a name. I ran smack into myself (hypothetically speaking) on my way home from the courthouse the other day. It's my least favorite place to be, that construction of brick and mortar and legal moorings. But it was a good thing, that ride back to my little farm just before dark. Because, on the way, the past shook loose a little.

Reclaiming, renaming yourself, that's some powerful Witch work. Snuggle in on the porch and let me tell you about the man that showed me how.

Well y'all, if you listened to the porch chat from last night, you know where we are going. Do y'all have a journal like this? Sometimes, we need the notes, the thoughts, and the evidence of a spell.

Oh and: promise to put up the recipe about Cowboy Candy tomorrow on Patreon. Love y'all like chicken!

xoxo, Seba
