Serving Up Witchcraft & Magick at the Young Crones Cafe

In this episode, the Crone and Sage discuss how the energy of the Dark Times of the Year has been peaking and how the Winter Solstice (New Year for us) will be here before we know it. December’s Full Moon will be in a few days and on The Path we call it the Changing Moon. This month always seems to be full of changes, new year, crazy weather, shift to the LIght Half of the Year, etc. etc. etc. There also seems to be the biggest divide between what our personal energies which are connected to the Solar Cycle and what society expects at this time of year with all the hustle and bustle, obligations, and general celebratory everything going on around us. It is up to us to discern where we want to expend our energy which means picking and choosing events to attend or activities to get drawn into. In our Something Else segment, we reminisce about childhood Thanksgivings and how some of our memories have more Pagan connections than we realized growing up. Finally, the Sage offers up our weekly Witchstones Reading.

It’s the Sage’s birthday and we had a great time recording together this week. It’s the time to move on to the next Times of seasonal cycle in our practices. Samhain is almost upon us and we bid farewell to our focus on the Element of Air and being talking about working with the Element of Water where we work to establish a deeper understanding of the Flows of Connection and start some serious internal work as we head deeper into the Dark Times of the Year. The Nights of the Dark Moon have just passed and the energies hit both of us pretty hard. We call our next Full Moon the Ancestors Moon and the Sage is planning to focus on this energy over the next cycle of waxing and waning and not just the Times of the Full Moon. He is planning to share about his experiences with this different focus. Finally, in our Something Else segment, we briefly discussed the stone for this season which is the manmade Blue Goldstone. Finally, we close with a great Witchstones Reading from our Sage.

The Crone and Sage discuss the energies that are currently in play as we move further into the Dark Times of the Year. The Moon is also Waning as well so it’s like having a double dose of the Dark Energies. In the Something Else segment, the Sage asks the Crone to define 5 words from the perspective of walking The Path. However, when you really get into the deeper meanings, they transcend any particular spiritual path and relate more to being human. As part of this discussion, we place an emphasis on how we really aren’t so different after all. We are also asking our listeners to email us their words that they would like us to discuss in a future episode. Finally, the Sage offers up a wonderful Witchstone Reading.
