Atomic Witchcraft

Today at the Atomic Hearth, we share season 6's first Book Club episode, where we give you each of our thoughts, key takeaways, and if it’s a must add to the library! This time we read Witchcraft Activism: a toolkit for magical resistance, by David Salisbury.

We hope this discussion gives you a good bird's eye view of this book, while trying not to spoil too much. Stay tuned for more book club discussions later this year!

Note: This book, and by extension this episode, makes reference to a variety of witchcraft paths including ones more based in Wicca. We advise doing your research if you are curious about diving further into them.

Today at the Atomic Hearth, we share season 6's first AV Club episode. where we take a look at media, like tv shows, movies, and more - that inspire us as witches.

For this first round, we're exploring how witchy inspiration and ideas came for all of us from the stories and characters from Avatar: The Last Airbender - the Nickelodeon cartoon.

We hope this discussion inspires you to put a witchcraft lens to the media you consume, whether it's a song, a spooky podcast, a movie, or a Nickelodeon cartoon intended for kids released in the early 2000s. Stay tuned for more AV Club discussions later this year!

Episode #181 warms us up for celebrating the Summer Solstice here at the Atomic Hearth!

Coming up in just a few weeks (June 21st here in the northern hemisphere), we provide another festival and ritual guide to inspire your own celebrations of this peak sunlight moment of the year.

Join us for classic summer BBQs and making an elixir of sunshine, and celebrating the joy of Pride.

This is a great time to be creating safe and inclusive havens for gathering, and ensuring that they are protected.

Today at the Atomic Hearth, we share season 6's first group discussion episode. where we take a big topic and share our thoughts, ideas, tips, and tricks.

For this first round, we're talking about gender in witchcraft -  everything from the unnecessary gendering of things to ideas on how to embrace your unique gender journey within your own craft, including queering your deity repertoire, building inclusive spaces, and re-imagining the witch’s triple moon journey.

This discussion, as well as the others we'll be sharing with you this year, is where we hope to explore topics that can open some new doors to further deepening and personalizing your own witchcraft journey.

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

Having just celebrated Bloom, this astral meditation is focused on embodying Witch as Warrior, where we will be forging our own warrior's tools - a sword and shield.

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.
