Episode 84 - Magic Numbers for Witches Who Hate Numbers Nov 21, 2020

Show notes

Hey friends! Thank you for joining me on this chilly fall Friday the 13th! Today I’m talking about numerology and working with numbers even if you have a math-related learning disability like Dyscalculia, which I have! Even with my issues, Numerology is both shockingly simple, and accurate. I’m also talking about some other uses for numbers in your magical practice outside of the art of numerology.

Episode 82 - Practical Pumpkin Spice Magic Oct 16, 2020

Show notes

Hey friends and thank you so much for tuning in to the show! Today’s episode is pumpkin spiced and full of practical magic. I’ll be talking about the magical properties of pumpkins and the spice blend we use to flavour them – ie how magical IS your pumpkin spice latte, really? I’m also talking a bit about Practical Magic! This 90s rom-com is so popular with witches of my generation and the continuation of the series of books on which the movie is based has only dragged us all further and further into the world of the Owens witches. The newest installment – Magic Lessons – which tells the story of the OG Owens witch Maria has just come out. If it’s even half as good as Practical Magic and The Rules of Magic it should definitely be on your to-read list.

Episode 80 - Baneful Bitchcraft: they protec/they attac Sep 25, 2020

Show notes

Today’s topic is magical protection – using spells and rituals to protect your body, home, emotions, psychic self, and friends. This is the second episode in my new series of episodes about baneful bitchcraft – curses, hexes, and taboo magic for revenge and destruction. Protection spells aren’t inherently baneful, of course, but many are used in self-defence. It’s also pretty prudent to cast protection spells on yourself before casting curses or as part of a larger ritual. I've also got a review for Miss Aida's new book - Hoodoo Cleansing and Protection Magic!

Episode 77 - Cosmic Conjure Aug 08, 2020

Show notes

Good evening stargazers and thank you so much for joining me today as we talk about what I call cosmic conjure or star magic. This is a branch of magic that draws energy from celestial sources, follows cosmic or astrological seasons and directives, and features spirits and deities of an extra-terrestrial nature. In this episode I'll teach you how to find a star of power and draw down stellar energy, how to work with the fixed stars of antiquity, and their associated terrestrial material magica, and sharing some some star magic spells and rituals I've created over the years.
