It’s been a tough winter, neighbor. We know how insane our external world feels to exist in right now, and I don’t know about you, but I’m getting hit hard in my personal life too. It feels like it’s never ending. I’m tired, and I’ve got pretty limited capacities right now, but I don’t feel disconnected from my magick and my craft. 

Inspired by the “struggle meals” trend (where people share their cheap, low effort, still tasty recipes when the wallet and/or life’s got you feeling spent), today I’m offering you my Struggle Magick recipes of sorts. No matter what challenges you’re facing, your spiritual practice can naturally adjust to in a way that serves you AND radiates out into the greater world around you.

We’re celebrating and honoring the oppositional sides within ourselves today—the inner polarity and duality, our peacemaker alongside our inner warrior. This week Venus enters Pisces, and Saturn officially moves into Aries, activating very different parts of our lives, while being able to bridge gaps between them. On today’s episode of Moonday Musings we’ll talk about what this energy can look like for you, and then see what cards have to say about it.

On today’s episode I’m using the Rider Waite Smith Tarot deck and the Work Your Light oracle by Rebecca Campbell.

February is here and it’s time to look over the energy for the month ahead so we can cross even the most challenging of bridges with mindfulness and intention.

Today I’m using The Numinous Astro Deck, one of my favorite study tools, in hopes that it helps a variety of learning styles better understand the multiple layers of astrological transits. Don’t forget, we have a free journal template so you can personalize and get the most out of your Moonday Musings experience!

With eclipse season coming up quickly, check out this helpful article for more info, dates, times, path of totality, etc.

Moonday Musings is back, baby! It’s officially our 9th season of That Witch Podcast, and we’re kicking 2026 off with a bang. This week ushers in Aquarius season, with Aquarius, Aquarius, and…you guessed it, more Aquarius 😂 

Our inner revolutionary is being called on, and today we’re going to talk about the importance of getting real clear on your personal ethics and morality as we step together into uncharted waters. Our tarot and oracle card reading this week seamlessly supports the Aquarian quest toward an abundant future for all, and asks that we not only pay attention to the corruption we’re witnessing in our world, but to get super honest with our own contributions.

In this episode I mention…

*Audio heads up!* You will hear our roof being replaced in the background 🤣

The retrogrades sure have been retrograding.

I had plans for this final episode that just weren't able to come to fruition in time. So today I'll share with you a little bit into my real life and how I use the real magick of astrology to move through the big, messy waves. And we'll say thank you & goodbye to another beautiful season of That Witch Podcast ✨ 

See you in 2026, neighbor! xoxo Dani

This week we’re saying goodbye to November, and very soon we will say goodbye to Season 08 of That Witch Podcast! On this week in the US also falls Thanksgiving Thursday, a day layered with all kinds of heavy, contrasting, and complex roots, ideas, and concepts. Instead of being on my soapbox today (I’ll save it for another 🤣), I want to create and hold a space of gratitude, and offer you a message you can carry with you into the weeks and even months ahead 💞

Should I work with a deity? Do I have to work with deities? How do I know if a deity wants to work with me?

These are all questions I’ve been asked or I’ve seen asked more than almost anything else in the pagan and witchcraft communities. Over the last two months we’ve spent our time together on That Witch Podcast building a foundation of knowledge, reference, and context that’s been preparing us for this very subject! So I’m very excited to share my thoughts and my experience on working with deities with you.

Today’s episode is meant to give you a well-rounded understanding to take whatever next steps feel right for you. After listening you may realize you absolutely want to work with a deity, or it may confirm that it’s not the path for you—either way, awesome! This isn’t a spiritual path that should be taken without deep resonance, reverence, and respect.

→ If you listen to this episode and absolutely want to learn more about working with deities in your witchcraft and spiritual practice, I will be teaching a live deities workshop inside my membership, That Witch School! This will be available LIVE to Essentials and All-Access members only, and will be listed later for purchase to the public later this year on my website :)

Another retrograde season is upon us, and as usual I feel like this is one of those times as an astrologer where I feel it’s important to recenter the focus on the purpose of the retrograde, rather than dwelling solely on the negative aspects. On today’s Moonday Musings episode, I’ll be offering you some helpful prompts for uncovering what any retrograde period means for you in your life, along with some tips for working with this energy in your birth chart.

In this episode I mention:

The preparation and consumption of food and drink have been considered sacred and powerful practices since deeply ancient times. There's a universality to kitchen and cooking magick that bridges even the greatest distances. In modern witchcraft there can be a common misconception that you have to have a cooking background or a natural affinity to baking to be a kitchen witch, when in reality this is a path for truly ANYONE.

Today I'm joined by Dawn Hunt, kitchen witch and owner of Cucina Aurora—a proudly magickal manufacturer of intentionally crafted foods. In this episode you'll learn that it doesn't require any culinary school or professional kitchen experience to start and grow a successful food brand. Dawn shares with our neighborhood her passion for not only food, but for a purpose-driven life in general—and reminding us that some of our biggest, most powerful magick is in the small and simple moments.
