Wut Up, Witches?

This week, we start a day late but with an extra 45 minutes or so of chatter!

Content Warning: We do discuss some heavy topics of violence and trauma, specifically birth trauma or medical trauma, gun violence, and school shootings. Discretion is advised.

Witchy Tips of the Week

Kitty’s Tip is that it’s about to get cold. Get as much time outside and with nature as you can if you’re not the type to enjoy the cold weather. Bring that nature inside and decorate your space with warmth and the seasonal depression at bay.

Elly reminds us the importance of not falling into OCD ruminations. Stay off the Google! Your intrusive thoughts make you question your intuition. You know in your gut what’s real.

Witchy Reads of the Week

Elly is focusing on the Shadow Work this week with:

“The Shadow Work Journal, A Guide to Integrate and Transcend Your Shadows” and “The Book of Shadow Work” by Keila Shaheen.

You can actually find her right here on Substack!

Kitty is all about the Activism this week:

“Revolutionary Witchcraft, A Guide to Magical Activism” by Sarah Lyons. Her book is currently sold out on her website, but you can likely find a copy at your local library!

Parenting Wins of the Week

Kitty’s son turned 4 on Sunday, and they had a fantastic birthday! Lil man was all the rage at a local car show with his cool motorcycle power-wheels. He also gets compliments for using his manners on the regular.

Elly has been working on cutting down the screen time, and today they had practically NONE! That is a huge accomplishment, since kids notoriously are making at least three requests per minute.

Love & Marriage

Our husbands love to indulge us with food, don’t they? They know the quickest way to our hearts is through our stomachs, without a doubt!

Elly’s husband treated her to some Costco Pocky (chocolate, strawberry, AND cookies and cream flavor) while Kitty’s keeps her full on Panda Express. (That teriyaki chicken is good, I don’t care what you say…)

Tarot Time

We did things a little differently this time! Kitty pulled cards for the cult of MAGA for “Political Tarot” and Elly pulled cards for you, the listener.

Pick a number between 1 and 3 and your corresponding card is your reading!

* King of Cups (Reversed)

* Queen of Pentacles (Reversed)

* The World (Reversed)

Dad Joke of the Week

“Did you hear about the person who drank invisible ink?…

… They’re at the hospital waiting to be seen.”

Mini-Activism of the Week

Use 5calls.org (or download the 5Calls App on your phone) to contact your representatives and demand common sense gun control legislation.

We don’t say “Cars Don’t Kill People” - we just regulate them.

We make you take a test and get a license, you have to register and insure your vehicle, you can’t just wake up one day and go drive a car without ever having driven one and expect it to be okay or go without consequences.

We CAN do the same thing with guns!
