Listen Later

Join me Rowan Oaken, the Bob Ross of Hocus Pocus, in this week’s episode of Season of the Witch with Rowan Oaken.
Here's a cauldron full of what we have brewing in this episode:
Unveiling the Unseen: Catching up on where the show’s been, Tess’s new adventures, and a sneak peek into Rowan’s mystical yet mundane life.
The Veil of Grief: As Samhain approaches, the veil between worlds thins, stirring emotions and memories of the dearly departed. We delve into Rowan’s personal journey through losing a loved one and how it intertwines with the witchy ways of grieving.
Grief Through a Western Window: We'll dissect how societal norms, rooted in Christian traditions, have shaped our approach to mourning. How has the modern world boxed up grief and what can we, as practitioners of the old ways, learn from this?
The Grief Order: Walking through the Elizabeth Kubler Ross model, we unfold the stages of grief, exploring how each phase has its own magical essence and how Rowan crafted a personal mourning ritual to process and honor these emotions.
Grieving the Living and the Life: Grief isn't always about death. We'll explore how transitions, even the seasonal shift into autumn, can stir the cauldron of loss and how to magically maneuver through these moments.
Rituals of Remembrance and Release:
For the loved ones lost but forever in our hearts: Cooking a meal, setting up an altar, creating an outdoor sacred space, and inviting them to dine with us in spirit.
For severing ties: Engaging in rituals with string, cord, or ivy to cut the energetic cords, setting boundaries with the aid of hawthorn, and penning letters to release the old bonds. We'll also touch on the soothing powers of moonstone for emotional healing.
Closing the Circle: We'll wrap up our mystical journey through grief, shedding light on how embracing and processing our sorrow can foster a deeper connection to ourselves, the spirit realm, and the ever-turning wheel of life.
