Kanani shares her experience with living with a thought form. Courtney shares New Moon Magick for January. Digressions include corset adventures and an awful premonition come true. A listener's father was diagnosed with cancer. Is there a way to help promote his healing from a distance? On Patreon--Phoenix shares his advice developing a thought-form practice.

A special thanks to our episode sponsors! See below for listener discounts! Eclipses, retrogrades, and a chance for cash...Theresa Reed returns to give us the 2021 forecast! We revisit her freakishly accurate predictions for 2020, including events that surprised most Astrologers. We discuss what we can expect in 2021--both positive and negative and go into some nice, juicy rants about enraging stuff. We also explore the Magick to do on in 2021. Digressions include weird Christmastime dreams and Instagram antics. Hilary introduces us to an incredible Icelandic musician. A listener submitted a post to an online group, but it was banned for "mention of pregnancy." Is this kind of gatekeeping normal in Pagan groups? On Patreon: Theresa talks about what to avoid in 2021, Courtney tells a story of a strange wedding and stranger divorce, and we do some more ranting and raving.

A special thank to our episode sponsors! See below for listener specials! It's our final episode of the year and our Patreon community picked Mat Auryn to return to talk with us about the most Magickal Moments of 2020! We talk about pandemic premonitions, community cooperation, and digging into Shadow work. We explore the idea of turning our Magick from coping to forward-facing, plus Magick around the election. Digressions include the childhood movies that traumatized us and our most hilarious spell requests. A listener is dismantling their Ancestor altar. Is there a good way to let them know they're not being forgotten? Forgive our less-than-optimal sound quality. We recorded from Zoom!

A special thanks to our episode sponsors! Please see below for listener specials! It’s our annual holiday episode!!! We are talking with Temperance Alden, author of Year of the Witch, about connecting with different cycles of the year through ritual and intuition and awesome ways to celebrate the Winter Solstice and Yule, including the tradition of Witch Balls! Plus, we both love and hate on “Tan Santa.” Hilary discusses frankincense, Kanani discusses La Befana, and Courtney brings back the hit game: “Hallmark or Horror Movie?” A listener, who runs an Etsy store, has been dealing with unfair reviews. Is there a spell they can do to bring satisfaction to their customers, or is that messing with someone’s free will? To download the “Hallmark or Horror Movie” game to play at your own holiday festivities, join us on Patreon! Audio transcript and show notes at thatwitchlife.com.

Thank you, as always, to our wonderful sponsors! See below for special deals for listeners! Endora, Glinda, Maleficent, Elsa, Willow.....squee! Jessica Mason of The Mary Sue geeks out with us over our favorite pop culture Witches! We explore how many Witches find their Magickal paths through pop cultures, and how movies and television can make us believe in Magick as well as find hope when it's not always easy to find. Plus, what to do when a favorite authors or artist reveals a super-problematic nature? Kanani reveals her hatred of a beloved fantasy epic and Courtney shares th best holiday music for Witches (in HER opinion). A listener is interested in mythology or deities representative of child-free women, but keep running into patriarchal crap! Where else can they look? On Patreon: Stories of Nicole Kidman and a Disneyland bathroom, and horror stories on the set of a beloved Witch movie.  Show notes and audio transcript at thatwitchlife.com.

A special thank to our episode sponsors! See below for listener specials! Witch, actor, and Tarot practitioner Rachel True talks with us about her AMAZING new “True Heart Intuitive Tarot” deck and book! Rachel clues us into learning the card via “the actor’s way,” as part of the journey to trusting our intuition. We discuss ‘high vibe,’ ‘low vibe,’ the important role of ego, losing and picking up our Magick, and the need to invoke compassion. Rachel also shares a few stories of filming “The Craft,” and the story behind her signature butterfly necklace. We also explore Magick for the Sagittarius New Moon. A listener, who is newly out of the broom closet, wants to connect with community. How can they meet people while also maintaining anonymity? Join us on Patreon to hear our full interview with Rachel! Show notes and audio transcript at thatwitchlife.com.

As always, a profound thanks to our sponsors! See below for listener specials! What is Shadow work? Why is it helpful for Witches? Kate Freuler, author of Of Blood and Bones Magick joins us to discuss the power in stepping outside the “love and light only” framework. We discuss working with the dark moon, common misconceptions about cursing, and the use of blood or bodily fluids in spellwork. We also explore the ethical use of animal components in Magick, along with modern day sacrifices (they aren’t what you might think they are!). Kanani’s husband reviews “The Craft” for us. Listen out for the new word Kanani claims she made up: “Witch-ism!” A listener is struggling with imposter syndrome with regard to their spirituality. How can they feel more comfortable with embracing the title of Witch?  Show notes and audio transcript at thatwitchlife.com. Support the show:  Patreon.com/thatwitchlife

As always, a special thanks to our sponsors! See below for listener specials! Food is Magick! Witch and culinary star Dawn Aurora Hunt of Cucina Aurora joins us to discuss kitchen Witchery. We explore using food as Magick, cooking with love and intention and “learning to pivot” during these strange times. Check out Dawn’s food Magick and her book A Kitchen Witch’s Guide To Love And Romance at cucinaaurora.com. Other topics include Magick for the November Full Moon, strange reactions to Margaret Thatcher, and some seriously juvenile jokes. A listener is about to lose their beloved mesquite tree.

A special thanks to Sacred Mists Academy and Shoppe for Sponsoring this episode! Please see below for listener specials! We set intention, we cast the spell…but do we give thanks? Sara Walka of The Sisters Enchanted joins us to discuss the role of gratitude in Magic and how it strengthens spells, as well as how to build (and stick with!) a gratitude practice. Other topics include inclusivity in Magick circles and the curse of The King Midas Touch. Kanani’s Witchlet reviews “Room On The Broom,” Hilary discusses apple, and your hosts completely fall apart over stories of phantom vans, highway paranoia, and pants-stealing. A listener is curious about using honey granules in sweetening spells. Would that work in place of liquid honey?

A special thanks to Sacred Mists Academy and Shoppe for sponsoring this episode! Please see below for listener specials! What a week/year/four years! Never have we needed grounding and centering more than we do now. But does it mean to 'ground and center'? Why is it important in Magick? Joi Bonman, Witch and self-care queen, joins us to talk about the necessity of grounding and centering, as well as its connection to self-care. Our apologies to Scorpios...we're totally mean to you in this episode! Plus, Courtney reads Tarot for Hilary and Kanani using Rachel True's True Heart Intuitive Tarot. A listener in the military wonders how can they maintain a consistent Witchcraft practice with a transient lifestyle, a conservative family, and no place to practice privately. To hear a grounding and centering practice led by Joi, join us on Patreon! Show notes and audio transcript at thatwitchlife.com.
