That Witch Podcast

What if we took the unique vibration or hum of each planetary body, and then looked at the way they all interact together in our chart, and let ourselves hear (or feel) our own personal song? What if we approached reading a birth chart more like listening for its distinct celestial music?

Today I am joined by astrologer Aubrey Houdeshell, the author and one of the creators behind their new book, The Cosmic Symposium. Along with metaphysical illustrator, Rose Ides, they ran with this gorgeous concept and packaged it into a stunning and approachable resource for new and experienced astrologers alike.

Our conversation scales everything from the fascinating story behind The Cosmic Symposium, to the struggles and successes for professional mystics, to the complex journey of learning astrology in our modern world, and so much more.

Doesn’t really matter where you’re looking this week, there’s probably some form of a shift happening! Tomorrow Pluto will officially move into Aquarius and remain there for the next 20 years, and on Thursday we will begin Sagittarius season 2024. So on today’s episode of Moonday Musings we’re going to talk about how to lean into this transformative time, stand by our fuck yes and our fuck no energy, reinvent our inner party animal, and have fun as an act of rebellion ❤️‍🔥

In this episode I mention:

Do you have people in your life you love, like, or respect that just don’t get the witch thing? Or the astrology thing? The tarot, crystal, spell work, numerology, astral travel, multiple-deity, pagan thing? Same! I’d be willing to guess every single person living has at least one person that falls at least somewhat into this description.

This episode is for you, and it has two purposes:

1. To let you know you’re not alone, this is super normal, you’re valid, and there’s support out there and it’s growing.
2. To give you some tools you can use in a few common scenarios both on your own and in interactions with other people.

There is a distinct sense of opportunity in the air—magickal opportunity. While the stars (and our world) clearly reflect themes of disruption, rising tensions, and power struggles, there also may be some sparks of inspiration and a strong connection to our inner power ✨ This week’s astrology bring us Venus in Capricorn on the 11/11 portal, a Full Moon in Taurus, and Saturn finishes its retrograde cycle in Pisces, and today’s episode will help you decipher what that means for you, and how you can ritualize this energy through your unique witchcraft practice.

Join us for our Full Moon Shadow Work Group this weekend in That Witch School! Every member has access to our Shadow Work Group calls twice per month, starting as little as $7 per month. Visit thatwitchschool.com to subscribe today!

I'm going to be straight with you—I’m not going to look at this month’s astrology and make my guess about the US presidential election or its aftermath (there are plenty of great astrologers already covering that). I am, however, going to look at this month’s astrology and share with you how I think we can be mindful and considerate human beings 😁

On today’s Moonday Musings: what to keep in mind as Mercury enters the pre-retrograde shadow, why we may be feeling pulled at either end by the past & the future, quick ideas to start thinking about the full moon in Taurus, and more.

It’s the Scorpio New Moon, smack in the middle of Samhain and All Hallow’s Eve. The new moon means it’s time for some Shadow Chats in our neighborhood, and we’re bringing you the raw, unfiltered astrological tea. Scorpio energy thrives in the realest of real, the truest of true—not faking it, not hiding your authentic self, not sweeping it under the rug.

Grab yourself a little snack, open up your birth chart, and join your spiritual besties, Dani That Witch Next Door and Ashley Michelle of 90 Day Fiance and StarSeedShadows to just hang out and casually chat about some soul work 😁

→ I highly recommend taking Ashley’s self-paced Lilith Experience Workshop, and you can get half off this weekend only!

Whatever you choose to call it—Halloween, Samhain, All Hallows’ Eve, All Saints’ Day—this is a special and magickal time indeed. And many, many witches innately sense the shift in even the most subtle of energies during this season. Just like all of the different celebrations we’ve learned about in our Pagan Wheel of the Year series on That Witch Podcast, our modern day observance of Samhain is rooted in a richly complex and layered history.

In today’s episode we’ll look at some of the historical background behind some of our modern Halloween traditions, along with the symbolism associated with this season, and different ways you can weave the meaning of Samhain into your own unique rituals.

It’s the last Monday of October! As we prepare to close out another calendar month and get ready to step into the next, we have a beautiful opportunity to reflect back on everything we experienced this last month and move forward in a space of gratitude and mindfulness.

With lots of ideas for intentional reflection, how to approach gratitude work, and how I utilize all of this in my own personal practice, this is an episode you are going to be sooo glad you listened to ✨

As a deeply dedicated follower and daughter of Hades, I appreciate when I meet a fellow death witch and devotee to the King of the Underworld. Chthonic deities and death witchcraft can be just as misunderstood by other witches and practitioners, let alone muggles.

When I started following Angelica Cresci on Instagram, I was so happy to find someone who views and approaches the concept of death magick and Hades worship so similarly to my own experience! 🤩 Today I am can't wait to introduce her to our witchy neighborhood to share with everyone what it’s really like to work with Hades and practice death magick.
