In this episode we discuss 2034 as The Strength Year, what it means, what to expect, and how to work WITH the Lion of Strength rather than struggle against it. We also consider what tools will be available to us in the Strength Year, mythologies of Strength, what it means to be authentic, post-humanist perspectives on Strength, and how to find our way this year with the Star card to guide us. Finally, we speak to your own PERSONAL card of the Year and what that means for you, so join us! P.S. Don't forget to sign up for our Strength Year workshop! See below.

In this episode we go into things like working with and calling in mentors; navigating your Saturn return; the difference between witchcraft, Wicca, and Druidry; how to work with tarot cards in your magic (and why you should); how spells work and what they do; healing spells, cord cutting spells, and how to understand the court cards. In other words, this is a very practical episode and we know you’re going to get a lot out of it. Jamie Della is full of wisdom and offers great insight into not only the how of magic, but the WHY of magic. Join us today, Between the Worlds!

Samhain is the ancient Celtic word for summer's end, and is also the third and final harvest holiday in the Witches' Wheel of the Year. You may know this holiday as Halloween. Whatever you call it, this is the time of year when the veils are thin and spirits are said to walk the earth. Find out what this holiday means for contemporary witches and learn about what you can do to celebrate it at home with our special guest, writer and tarot reader, Jessica Jernigan, author of "A Postmodern Witches' Guide to Halloween."

In which we discuss magical practices for the New Moon (and all moons), reasons to re-enchant your world, witchcraft as an anti-capitalist practice, ways to work with the rhythms of nature that don't require you to add one more thing to your to-do list, and advice for baby witches from some wise witches of the North. Special guests today are Amy Torok and Risa Dickens of the Missing Witches podcast (you're going to love them!); they've just come out with their second book "New Moon Magic: 13 Tools for Resistance and Re-enchantment". We love their work and we know you will too, join us!

In the Queen of Cups tarot card, we see a Queen gazing intently into a lidded golden goblet. By the power of their attention and care, whatever is in the goblet is infused with magic. Like the sea itself, the essence of the suit of Cups is to ebb and flow. This Queen teaches us to pay attention to our cycles and rhythms. When this card comes up in a reading, something mysterious is rising up from the well of creativity inside you, called to new life. Our guest today, creativity expert Dr. Diana Rivera is here to help us take our creative powers seriously and bring our creative babes into being.
