Today at the Atomic Hearth, we share the second "Living Witch" episode of Season 6, where our conversations will often tie into our Witch’s Web topics for the seasonal year, and/or the smaller day to day moments of 'being' that are just as important to an overall atomic practice.

Now approaching Autumn, we share some updates on each of our Witch's Web topics, including the books we've been reading, potions we've been brewing, and how we've found ways to align learning and magickal exploration with the daily flow of mundane life moments and rhythms.

We hope discussions like this can provide helpful ideas and takeaways right in the context of our respective paths and crafts, and spur inspiration for your own witchcraft journey!

For more on the Witch’s Web check out episode #137 Witch’s Wheel 2.0, all of season 4, and our Witch’s Wheel 2.0 workshop on Patreon.

📚 Books mentioned in today's episode:

Today at the Atomic Hearth, we share season 6's second meditation episode. These meditations provide tools you can use to help connect to the Witch Within, with each focusing on a unique idea or theme.

Now in the midst of Mid-Summer, this is based on a night-time visualization meant for a settling in to sleep. It's a bit of sleep magick for witches of all ages, to help with relaxation before bed, following along with the process of melting on a hot, sunny day relaxes our minds and bodies and helps us drift away into a dream.

This mediation, as well as the others we'll be sharing with you this year, is meant for ALL levels of meditators - and even those who have never meditated or those with aphantasia, or the inability to visualize.
