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

Today on That Witch Podcast I am joined by Root Cause Therapy Practitioner, Jenna Smith of Naturally Empowered Living 💫 When Jenna and I first met to record an episode on her show, the Naturally Empowered Living podcast, we had one of those instant connections because we both share so much of the same approach to energetics, the importance and value of physical and spiritual healing, and bridging the seemingly gap between science and spirit from practical, grounded POVs. In this episode we’re going to dive into the practice and process of Root Cause Therapy, what it looks like, and what it can do for you.

On the last Moonday of the month we look back and count our blessings ✨ Today is the new moon in Gemini, so you may already find yourself in a pretty reflective state of mind, and you might be having some thoughts about what you want your future to look like too. 

Before you start setting your goals for June, gather up any evidence of how you spent this month—pictures, calendar, planner, journal, habit tracker, financial statements, etc—and let’s walk in the shoes of our past self so that our learned experiences can directly inform the next steps we take forward. 

In this episode I mention:
One of my favorite astrology tools, my Honeycomb Personal Astrological Almanac (not sponsored, just a fav of mine)

Do I join a coven or do I practice the craft alone? This is likely a crossroads each practitioner encounters at least once. Even if you never find or formally join a coven, it’s still something you’ll probably even just hear or read about. The first book I ever read to begin studying witchcraft was gifted to me, and it was called, Spells for the Solitary Witch by Eileen Holland. In it Holland describes the path of the solitary witch in contrast to practicing with a coven, so early on this was something I was pondering myself.

In today’s episode of That Witch Podcast, we’ll cover the basics of what to consider in all aspects of this question, and talk about both sides of this spectrum, and some of the in between areas as well. And hopefully, you’ll leave this episode feeling more informed and in-tune with your unique needs as a modern witch.
