Mind Witchery

Our lives are made from stories.

Stories help us learn and grow,

by turning our experiences into wisdom.

But, if they’re not allowed to change,

stories can restrict us, and keep us

stuck in old patterns and mindsets.

Let’s learn how to honor those stories,

while setting ourselves free to write new chapters.

Make Magic:

What stories are you telling about yourself

that feature a main character you no longer relate to?

Let’s re-see those moments in a fuller way,

extract the wisdom they have to offer,

and update the stories to honor the beautiful,

evolving creature you are still becoming.

Just like a snake that has outgrown it skin,

you, my love, have gotten too big,

too bold, too powerful,

for the instinctive self-protection patterns

that you’re holding onto.

This eclipse season invites us to shed those old ways,

and move fully into our new, shiny, gorgeous skins.

Mentioned:

My insightful astrology teacher, Austin Coppock.

Transcript: Eclipse Season 2022 - Shed Your Skin

Alright, my love. This week’s spell

is From me. But it’s also For me.

It’s for you, and for everyone

who struggles to show up on the regular.

Consistency may not come naturally,

but that doesn't mean you can't nurture it.

What story are you telling yourself

about why you find it challenging?

Make Magic:

The secret to consistency is not

forcing yourself to follow

someone else’s system.

It’s about finding the modes,

the methods, and the moods

that work best for you.

Transcript: A Spell to Cultivate Consistency

When was the last time you Went For It,

and took a chance on yourself?

Whether it’s been a while, or only a minute,

here is the reminder we all need sometimes,

that you absolutely deserve your own faith.

Mentioned:

Mind Witchery Episode 20, A Spell for Harnessing Growth Mindset.

Carol Dweck, author of Mindset: The New Psychology of Success.

Make Magic:

When you bet on yourself,

when you trust yourself,

when you invest in yourself,

you don’t just do it for you.

You do it for everyone who has been told

to play it safe and stay the course.

No is a big, dangerous, empowering word.

No allows you to protect your energy,

and direct it toward the projects and practices

that resonate for you.

No keeps you from wasting resources

on what everyone else wants us to do,

and gives us all permission to go all-in

on the things that bring us joy.

Mentioned:

Make Magic:

When you’re feeling guilt or shame about saying no,

remember that every Yes is a No to something else.

Reserving your yesses for what lights you up

allows you to show up in the world exactly as you want,

and deepens the impact of your energy output.

This Full Moon brings with it so much potential

for increased love and honoring of Self.

We are invited to the next level of

creating systems and structures in our world, 

in which we are free to be fully ourselves. 

This Full Moon makes it very clear that,

in that next level, there’s simply no room for

self-effacement, people-pleasing,

playing it small, or denying our power.

My insightful astrology teacher, Austin Coppock.

In every relationship we have - 

from the most fleeting interaction

to the longest, deepest friendship -

there are moments when we must choose

to declare our truth, or hold it in.

This spell will help you recognize when

you can no longer afford the energy

it costs to keep your truth to yourself,

and how to claim the awesome power

your truth brings with it.

Mentioned:

Author, educator, researcher, and podcaster Brené Brown.

Make Magic:

When you’re faced with the decision about

whether or not to speak your mind, remember;

your truth is making itself known,

whether you choose to speak it or not.

You get to decide what serves you and the relationship.

Is it to let your truth manifest in a million small ways,

or to declare it openly, and allow the change to come.

Negativity is a POWERFUL force.

Our brains prioritize it, focus on it,

obsess over it, in so many ways.

How can we cultivate hope for the future

when our minds are telling us

there’s nothing but bad in the crystal ball?

This simple but powerful spell holds the key.

Mentioned:
Tarot phenom and podcaster Linsday Mack.

Episode 23 of Mind Witchery: A Spell For Surpassing Your Upper Limit

Make Magic:
When you need to get (or keep) your hopes up,

consciously cultivating positivity

is the best deterrent to the negativity bias

that comes pre-loaded in our brains.

Ask yourself: “what’s working for me now?”

Record and review the answers, and you’ll

be better equipped to let go of fear in favor of hope.

Transcript: A Spell to Expand Your Capacity for Hope

In order to live on purpose,

actively and consciously and purposefully

cocreating our reality, it helps immensely

to evolve our relationship with change.

Embracing change takes time,

and a lot of our precious energy,

but this spell will help you see

that you are already changing, and

it doesn’t have to be scary.

Make Magic:

Whatever unfulfilling situation you’re in,

keep in mind that it is not the same

as it was when it began.

It has changed, and so have you.

The worst-case scenario isn’t

what happens when you move on;

it’s the passive, reactive acceptance of

the status quo you’re already living.

you crave to unlock that precious creative energy.
