Let The Cauldron Bubble

August 8th is a day of great power. It is the peak of the Lion's Gate Portal and the ultimate day of manifesting during the year. Find out just how powerful this day is through this week's featurette where Freya goes through what to expect, how to harness the power of the day, and how to protect yourself in the process.

On this week’s episode Ruby and Freya go over Lughnasadh and how to celebrate! We hit the history, the correspondences, and everything in between.

4 basil leaves

We are in the height of summer enjoying the sun and warm weather, but doing so puts us at a higher risk of skin cancer and other sun related illnesses. Sun screen is an important part of our routine if you will be spending time outside.

BUT there is a lot of trending topics around the toxicity of some of the ingredients, and it begs the question, is the prevention more dangerous than the disease? 

In this featurette, Freya goes through how you can choose the best sunscreen for you and your family, tips for staying safe in the sun, and ingredients to avoid.

Today we are celebrating Litha, or Midsummer, or Summer Solstice. Join us as Freya breaks down historical celebrations, correspondences, and how you can celebrate this special holiday.

Midsummer Sunshine Margarita
2.5oz tequila
1.5oz triple sec
3oz OJ
1oz lime juice
Agave syrup to taste

Combine in a shaker with ice. Shake that witch. Pour over ice. Garnish with an orange slice (cause you fancy), and Let the Cauldron Bubble!

On this week's featurette Freya goes over essential oil safety tips. It can be easy to forget how potent and power essential oils are when they are readily available and used by many on social media. Throughout this episode, we will go over the dos and don'ts of using oils, especially aroudn children and pets!

Reading tea leaves is a great way to use your intuition in answering a question or helping tell your future. Similar to other forms of divination, it can help read time in the form of past, present, and future.

In this featurette, Freya goes over how to use tea divination, the steps to take, and other ways you can incorporate tea into your magickal practice.

In case you couldn't tell, we took a bit of a break this past week because FREYA GOT MARRIED! 

We have had a boom of new listeners so we thought on our week off, we could reintroduce ourselves. Meet Your Mystical Mages was our 8th episode and we get into how we came into our craft, what our beliefs are, and what path we are on now. 

We invite all our listeners, new and seasoned, to get to know us better.

We will be back next week with a brand new episode!

Blessed Beltane All! In this week's episode we go over Beltane's history, how to celebrate, and the associations with the holiday. This is the first of the fire festivals and if you're feeling love (or lust) in the air, you aren't alone!

The Summerita:
1 cup fresh watermelon
2oz favorite tequila
1oz triple sec
1oz lime juice
sugar to taste

Combine over ice in a blender. Flip the switch, and let the cauldron bubble!

Mugwort is a complex, powerhouse of an herb that aids in medicinal and magickal uses. It especially helps with divination, something that would be a great use today for Beltane!

On this week's episode, we do a dive into the witchy world of Hollywood. Ruby plays a game of Witchy Fact or Fiction about how Bonnie Bennett is portrayed in the Vampire Diaries, against what we practice as modern witches. 

Freya dives in to just how wrong Hollywood got the story of Rasputin. He is not the dungeon hiding, cauldron bubbling man we see in Anastasia. 

So check out our episode to learn more!

3 oz tequila
2 oz sweetened lime juice
1/2 oz of triple sec
