The veil is thinning, the air is scented with myrrh and our magic turns towards the ancient and unseen. This weeks episode is steeped in old-world witchcraft and necromantic lore.

In this episode we will be looking at -

Myrrh - tracing its sacred lineage through Egypt, Greece and Kabbalistic rites, and how to weave it into your craft for purification, spirit work and its many other magickal associations.

The Bat as a Spirit Animal - exploring its shadow medicine and deep ties to witches

Creating a Money Bowl - A prosperity ritual for ongoing wealth and stead flow including herbs, crystals and spellwork

A Necromantic Evocation - drawn directly from an ancient British Museum manuscript - Sloane mss 3884 read from the book The Necromancers - The Best of Black Magic and Witchcraft edited by Peter Haining.

Money Chant

Coins and bills, hear my call 

Money flows and does not stall 

Wealth and Fortune grow and stay 

Blessings come in every way 

By the stars and by the sea 

Luck and fortune come to me 

With each breath and step I take 

Golden chances I shall make 

OCTOBER ON PATREON - WHISPERS AT THE VEIL

As the nights lengthen and the veil thins, the voices of the ancestors stir — soft, haunting, and full of wisdom.

This October inside Patreon, we will journey into Whispers at the Veil - a month of ancestral reverence, remembrance, and magick. Together we’ll open the door to our kin beyond the veil, honour their gifts, release their shadows and weave their blessings into our craft.

This month includes - 

Guided meditation to open ancestral communion

A podcast/grimoire pages on ancestral witchcraft & initiatory death rites in coven and esoteric traditions

An ancestor altar + ritual kit (printables + invocation)

Tarot & oracle spreads for ancestral guidance

Weekly journal prompts for reflection, healing, and remembrance

A closing rite of Ancestral Blessing — sealing their wisdom into your path as the wheel turns

By the end of October, you will have - 

Your own ancestor altar

A living practice of honouring your dead

Tools to heal ancestral wounds and embody ancestral blessings

A rite of blessing + remembrance to carry their voices with you through the dark half of the year

Samhain is the witch’s New Year — a time when the veil between worlds thins and the Old Year falls away like autumn leaves. Together we will gather in sacred circle to honour the ancestors, release what is ready to be laid to rest, and call in the magick of the year ahead.

This circle will feel more festive than usual — a true witches’ gathering in the spirit of Samhain. Think candlelight, divination, fire magick, and the warmth of community as we step into the New Year.

What to expect -

Ritual of Release + Invitation – letting go of the old, welcoming the new.

Divination + Fortune-Telling – tarot, pendulum, scrying, traditional Samhain magic.

Ancestor Offering – honouring those who came before us.

New Year Spellwork – planting intentions for the year ahead.

Bring your candles, tarot cards, and a small offering for your ancestors.

The Samhain Gathering is our chance to cross the threshold together, in celebration, magick, and witchcraft.

I cannot wait to share this New Year circle with you.
