Happy 4th Birthday, That Witch Podcast 🥹💞🥳

Leo Season 2025 begins July 22nd, and just a couple of short days later is the Leo New Moon. When That Witch Podcast released its first episode on July 22, 2021, we were talking about the Aquarius Full Moon, and now four years later we’re here at the beginning of Leo Season again, but this time we meet at the new moon.

The sun almost seems to shine a little brighter in Leo, but what role does the moon play in the conversation? For as much of our confidence is illuminated during this season, our insecurities can make themselves just as known too. So on today’s episode we’ll talk about some ritual ideas that help you embrace both your easy-to-love and not-so-easy-to-love parts of yourself ❤️‍🔥 ★

Took a little impromptu podcast break last week and I’m here to tell you why…and also a bunch of other stuff too.

The thing of it is, there’s just so much going on for everyone right now. Widespread fear, anger, and tension feel constantly on the rise everywhere you turn. There’s plenty in the astrology indicating structural and societal shifts, and today I felt called to take a leap and share some of my own personal views with you, neighbor.

Here we go. ★

And just like that, we’re halfway through 2025. For this week’s last Monday of the month episode, let’s look back not just on June, but back to December 2024. What were you planning? What were you going through? What did the transition from winter into spring and spring into summer look like?

Just a handful of days after this year’s Summer Solstice, this is truly an excellent time for reflection and gratitude as we’re basking in the bright peak illumination of the Cancer Sun. Ground your energy so you don’t get too swept away by any emotional tides, pull out your journal, grab a snack or something to drink, and I’ll help you take a look back on where you’ve been, and how you want to intentionally move forward into the next month and the second half of the year.

In this episode I’m using the Work Your Light oracle deck 💖

For three years Ashley Michelle and I have come together on the new moon each month for an episode called Shadow Chats; something that blossomed into one of the most beautiful friendships, and something that has meant so much to both of us. But over the last several months life has been lifeing, and behind the scenes of our businesses, my friendship with Ashley has been witness to some incredible transformation. Today on That Witch Podcast, Ash is going to bare it all with us—taking us on the real path of an entrepreneur and content creator, and the spiritual meaning of the rebrand journey.

We have now coasted right into Cancer season, neighbor 🦀🌅This week we have our Cancer New Moon 2025, bringing us deeeep inside the the soft center of our hard outer shell and asking us to really allow ourselves to listen and feel into our sensitivities. Then, like a heat spike, that zippy, ruler-of-curiosity Mercury moves into Leo the day after our watery new moon. So for this week’s tarot reading, I decided to go with Lo Scarabeo’s Tarot of Mermaids and Rebecca Campbell’s Work Your Light decks to tap into those cosmic ocean vibes 🌊💫

In this episode I’m using the Tarot of Mermaids and Work Your Light oracle.

Also, wait….you mean there’s a safe, private community of welcoming, chill practitioners of modern magick where you also get access to support resources, guidance from yours truly, and opportunities to practice everything you’re learning???

An herb sachet is basically a little pouch of magick ✨

It’s something I’ve done in my witchcraft practice (and honestly even before I realized I was a witch) for a longgg time because it’s so easy, so customizable, and very rarely, if ever, is it something that requires items outside of what you already have available to you at home. Today we’ll talk about the times in my life I’m making an herb sachet spell, plus tons of ideas, tips, and reminders for using herbs, crystals, symbols, and more into your own little magickal pouches.

It’s a special one, neighbor ✨ Jupiter moves into its exaltation in Cancer, and is the ruler of our full moon in Sagittarius this week too. There’s an optimism in the air—if you know where and how to look, so be on the lookout for the things you’ve grown apathetic, desensitized to, or tend to take for granted. The medicine is in the gratitude work, and especially in (re)connecting with those reciprocal relationships we consider family and closest friends. With a truth-bomb power reading from reversed King of Cups and the iconic Kendrick Lamar, trust me when I say you are going to be SO glad you listened to Moonday Musings this week.

In this episode…

I’m using the Golden Universal Tarot deck and the Music Oracles deck.

My relationship with herbs goes back even further than when I started practicing intentional witchcraft. Long before I started learning about their metaphysical properties or their medicinal qualities, I was playing around with their flavors in cooking and teas. It was my budding magickal practice that formally introduced me to their energetics, a door-opener I think many, many witches are presented with.

And so today’s episode of That Witch Podcast is to formally introduce you to the magick of herbalism and what role this can play in your own lifestyle. We’ll discuss what defines an ‘herb,’ what is ‘herbalism,’ and most importantly, what are the different ways you can partner with these botanical heroes as a modern with and energy practitioner.

In this episode I mention:

Anima Mundi Herbals 

Mountain Rose Herbs 

A Box of Magick by Jamie Della 

The many works by Rosemary Gladstar 

Cunningham’s Encyclopedia of Magickal Herbs by Scott Cunningham 

Llewellyn’s Book of Correspondences by Sandra Kynes
