First – we apologize for the audio quality – we were trying a new microphone… and it did not go well. Next week will be better!

ALSO

We did not realize that this would be released on Juneteenth because we moved our release date to Thursdays BUT Because of when the moon becomes full… and when we move to Cancer season … It is coming out on this wonderful day so please, even though we do not say it

Happy Juneteenth – please read a book

Maybe

or

And Support our Black Witches!

Keep educating yourself witches!

Often referred to as the kinder, more gentle version of Mermaids and Sirens, Selkies are often overlooked due to the tragic stories surrounding them, hopefully their escape, but then… that’s it?

Not quite. It is true Selkies hold a different magic, but a powerful one. Very powerful. The folklore and the magic are what we discuss today!
