Busy, Gritty, Inked, and Witchy Podcast

Crushed velvet, moons and stars on everything, and a bedroom straight out of The Craft. If that 90s aesthetic is what first pulled you toward witchcraft, this episode is for you.

Morgan breaks down where the term Whimsigoth came from and answers the big question: is it actually a witchcraft practice? She shares why joy and playfulness might be the most underused power in your magick, especially if you're a seasoned witch who's lost your spark.

In this episode:

• What Whimsigoth is (and isn't)
• Why nostalgia can reignite a burned-out practice
• 3 reasons whimsy makes your magick stronger
• Simple ways to bring Whimsigoth energy into your witchcraft, no shopping required
• The abundance spell soundtrack Morgan swears by

If this episode has you craving more whimsy, the November 2026 Inked Goddess Creations Box is themed Whimsigoth. Find it at https://www.inkedgoddesscreations.com/pages/igc-box

Morgan is back with her post-Witches' Bazaar update, and this one goes a lot deeper than how the show went. Tucson's largest witches market brought 69 vendors, a few thousand witchy folks, a 911 call, and yet another hurricane that held off until everyone got home. It also brought realizations Morgan never saw coming.

In this episode:

• The question from her business coach that left Morgan drawing a blank
• What this event means for Tucson's handmade makers and readers
• Why Morgan is driven by creating experiences (Goonies kid energy included)
• The listener stories that had her ugly crying on mic
• The shift in how Morgan introduces herself from here on out
• Show and tell: everything she bought at the Witches Bazaar (head to YouTube to see the goodies)

Vendors mentioned: Grey Rose Art, Curio and Crown, That Savage Artist, Lisspy Artist, Bani Handmade, Clever Kim's Curios, Lunar Light Apothecary, and Quail's Den Bindery.

The Morrigan is the Celtic goddess of war, fate, and death, and she's the October Goddess of the Month at Inked Goddess Creations. In this episode, Morgan goes past the mythology and into the Morrigan's energy: what she can unlock in your life, and why she so often shows up right before a fight.

Morgan also shares her own history with the Morrigan, including the morning her backyard filled with ravens and the real-life battle that followed.

In this episode:

• What the Morrigan's name means, and why it's a little terrifying
• Her sisters and the many faces she wears
• Why the Morrigan shows up before a battle, and how she prepares you for it
• What working with a goddess of fate can help you face
• How she walks between worlds, and why this season is her season
• Her connection to crows and ravens
• A few signs she may be reaching out to you

No notes. No plan. Just Morgan, a microphone, and a pair of coffin bookshelf earrings she refused not to show off.

In this unscripted episode, Morgan opens up about the year of inner work that's had her breaking down walls she built for survival, and what happens when you're left staring at the person on the other side of them. She also shares why spooky season finally feels alive again, drops some big personal news she's been sitting on for months, and reads three lines from her notes app that stopped her in her tracks.

In this episode:

• The mirror moment nobody warns you about when your walls come down
• Why this Season of the Witch feels different after a few "blah" years
• A big announcement Morgan hasn't shared publicly until now
• A behind-the-scenes look at how the Witches Bazaar grew from the IGC warehouse to a whole western town
• The journal line that made her cry, and the mindset shift behind it

"How do you get everything done?" Morgan gets asked this constantly, and the answer has a lot more to do with how she rests than how she works. Recorded in the thick of busy season, right on Mabon, this episode is all about resting with intention, and why it matters even more when you're a witch.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why your energy is your life force, and what it has to do with spells that keep flopping
• The three commitments Morgan made to her own energy
• Growing up in the hustle generation, and why rest became Morgan's Aquarius-coded rebellion
• The simple threshold ritual Morgan uses to switch from work mode to rest mode
• Morgan's rest tiers, from quick recharge to full cozy mode (and why survival shows made the list)
• Where so many IGC Box themes and an entire year of Coven curriculum actually came from
• How to enchant ordinary comfort items into rest rituals
• The biggest energy leak in your rest time, and how Morgan plugged hers
• Morgan's current rest favorites: tea, crystals, and cozy witchy fiction
• A challenge to try this week

• Creating a "spell space" tattoo on your own body, an altar you can color in and use anywhere
• Using a Theban alphabet sigil wheel tattoo for affirmations

Morgan is diving into the energy of Persephone this week, going far beyond her myth. This episode explores what Persephone can actually teach you about shadow work, personal power, and moving through the hardest seasons of your life.

Morgan breaks down three distinct energetic lessons Persephone offers, including a completely different way to think about power that has nothing to do with being loud. She also gets personal, sharing pieces of her own recent journey through burnout and what she calls a "seed moment," the exact point where a hard situation turns into something you get to decide the meaning of.

If you want the full breakdown of Persephone's myth, symbols, and correspondences, Morgan has a full guide linked below.

Morgan is back with the sequel nobody expected, but everyone asked for. After the overwhelming response to "So You Want to Start a Witchy Business...," she realized something was missing: real witchy business advice, not just general business advice that isn't witchy-specific.

In this episode, Morgan lays out nine (plus a bonus) lessons pulled straight from 13 years of running Inked Goddess Creations, the kind of lessons that only apply if your business runs on more than spreadsheets and SEO.

In this episode, Morgan covers:

• The mindset shift that changed everything for her
• Why delusion might be one of her most underrated business tools, and the real stories behind some of her biggest gambles, including the subscription box, the witchy advent, and the Witches Bazaar.
• Protecting your energy
• Trusting your intuition
• Understanding exactly why people are buying from you and not just your products

Morgan also shares a cautionary tale from a trademark dispute she watched unfold in the witchy community recently, and what it taught her about naming a business the right way.

Is there really such a thing as black magick and white magick? Morgan breaks down why those labels are more myth than reality, and what actually determines whether a spell is dark, light, or somewhere in between.

In this episode, Morgan covers:

• Why magick itself is neutral and what actually makes it "black," "white," or "gray"
• The practices that fall under light magick, and where the line gets blurry
• What baneful magick really means, and the handful of practices that are always considered dark no matter what
• Her own journey from love and light witch to gray witch, and why so many witches end up there
• A behind-the-scenes update on why last week's episode didn't happen
