'Round the Cauldron

A friend of mine, Megs (Prairie), recently reminded me that I'm not alone when I have feelings of inadequacy in regard to my practice and my knowledge. She left me with the quote that is also the title of this episode: Comparison is the thief of joy. I wanted to share my thoughts with you, the things that I know but that don't stop me from comparing myself to others. This episode is a sort of pep talk for myself and others that might struggle with this, too. So thank you, Megs, for the reminder!

I received a question on Instagram about how I'm adjusting to life in Florida in regard to the Wheel of the Year, energy work, and seasonal celebrations. It got me thinking about how I don't really follow the traditional Wheel of the Year and how I've created, and continue to refine, my own celebration calendar.

I've had the itch to talk about tools in witchcraft practices for a few weeks now and I finally just decided to sit down and record. In this episode, you'll hear my thoughts on common tools, how we can reframe our views on what tools in witchcraft are, and some random thoughts I have about witchy tools in general.

I saw something recently that really got under my skin and I wanted to talk about it but I didn't want to do it alone. So I did the next best thing! I invited a friend of mine, Betty, better known as The Witch from the North on social media, to come on the show with me and talk about the commodification of witchcraft and spirituality. We dig into why our community gets inundated with ads, products, and things we supposedly need. We talk about how this is harmful to the wider spiritual community but that it's also been a bit helpful. We also give our own perspectives on what we think can be done to break out of the cycle of consumerism within our practices.

I asked on social media for your questions on mental health, witchcraft, and paganism. In this episode, I answer those questions and give my perspective. This episode got a little heavy for me at certain points, so it may be heavy for you sometimes, too. However, mental health is such an important topic and I really wanted to tackle this head-on.

I was uninspired this month... until I looked out my window at the large oak tree growing in my backyard and I just knew I had to talk about my experiences connecting with the land I live on. Join me on this rambling episode as I talk about childhood connections, living in many places, and finally starting to feel rooted.

As we close the book on 2021 and open the first page of 2022, let's explore how the wider occult community tends to do a disservice to beginners. The pandemic has caused a boom in witchcraft spheres and the wider occult community in general, and with that boom in magical practitioners comes a lot of beginners. How can we treat beginners better? How can we as public witches, community members, and friends treat beginners better? I have thoughts...

Happy Halloween! And a very Blessed Samhain to everyone that celebrates! I wanted to take time to talk about some of my personal spirit encounters, my thoughts on "ghost hunting" shows, and a couple of supposedly haunted places that I've either been to or want to go to.

What are some of YOUR spirit encounters? Let me know!
