February 1st-2nd marks the Celtic pagan celebration, Imbolc (aka Candlemas, Brigid’s Day, Oimelc), the first pagan sabbat of the calendar year. Today I’m going to share with you the roots of this celebration, the significance of the season, and offer you a variety of ways you can honor Imbolc in your witchcraft practice this week.

If you’ve scrolled through WitchTok or any side of the witchy social media space, chances are you’ve heard someone say, “You need to do your shadow work!” But not a lot of people are talking about what that actually means.

Recently I was asked by several of our neighbors what tips I have for anyone who’s never done shadow work before. This is something we’ve chatted about in a previous episode of That Witch Podcast, but I thought it was a perfect time for a refresher. So this is my most up-to-date breakdown of what the shadow is, the purpose of this work, how you can get started, and even the ways you probably already are without realizing it…

In this episode I mention:

What a weekend! Astrologically speaking. Saturday was full of shifts—the moon moved into Gemini, the Sun moved into Aquarius, and so did Pluto. It’s not quite all about Aquarius though, and this week we’ll see Venus join Mercury and Mars in Capricorn where we may find some real flow of efficiency, and opportunity to cross some big tasks off our list.

All of this combined with our upcoming Leo Full Moon this week means energy is running on HIGH, and that increased sense of efficiency can domino really quickly into big feelings of overwhelm. Today's episode offers you mundane + magickal suggestions to support you however you experience the energy this week 🖤

The much-anticipated death witch episode…! This is one branch of magick particularly difficult to encapsulate into one episode (so maybe there will be more?!) but I really tried to offer my best explanations and advice for anyone feeling intrigued by and called to this sacred path. Death witchcraft and death magick are not evil practices, their work is centered around honoring one of our most divine universal laws, and healing our deeply wounded relationship with it.

In this episode I mention:

We’re getting up to a couple of things in this episode. For one thing, we need to chat about this Pluto in Aquarius business because you are sure to see it talked about everywhere. Aquarius season is arriving, and this year it is joined by a massive Plutonian—therefore generational—shift.

And finally, I'm giving you homework. Yep. Because late Monday evening the Moon will move into Aries, beginning a new cycle in the zodiac this week. And this aligns so damn ✨divinely✨ with exactly what I’m teaching to my students in Level 01 of the I Can Read My Astrology program right now! So I am inviting you to join us in our group exercise and follow along on your own.

I started this week feeling instantly stressed and was totally scattered from the weight of New Years expectations. Then I was able to directly face it, work through it, receive clarity, and move forward with easy focus and peace—something I’ve been working for years to be able to do.

Today I’m going to share with you the quickest and easiest thing you can do BEFORE you take your deep breath and try and give yourself a system reboot. Something that will take you 5 minutes or less, and greatly increase your ability to reset your energy faster and more efficiently.

When I first embraced myself as a witch, I really struggled with the whole idea of Christmas. Was I doing something wrong by celebrating it? Was I being a hypocrite by singing Christmas carols about Jesus? Did this mean I wasn’t really a witch after all?

If you’re feeling any of this confusion yourself, today’s Moonday Musings is especially for you, neighbor. All you need is 15 minutes of your time today for this episode, and I really hope I’m able to help you release some tension around this day, and lean into it in whatever way feels right for YOU.
