You know all the things that go into casting a spell now, but how do you make magic actually happen? It's hard to define and even harder to do, but we'll talk about it anyway. 

Also in this episode -- Last episode of Season One!! I'll be back with Season Two in two weeks. Maybe three... Or I might just run headlong into it and have an episode next week. I also talk about adding guest speakers next season. You absolutely do not have to be an expert on anything witchcraft related. Just a topic that you have an opinion about and that we can have a conversation about. I'm also open to guest speakers that just have some questions that we can have a conversation about together. Hit me up on Twitter if you're game for it! @stuff_witchy OH!! And after I say goodbye at the end, I come back to talk about maybe doing a giveaway. Whaddaya say?? Want in?

So now you know how to choose ingredients, cast circles and work with Elements and Energy, and form your wording so you don't accidentally turn yourself into a newt or something, but the actual spell is the middle of the story. Let's talk about the beginning and ending! We'll also talk a little about the end of Season 1 and what happens next. Should I keep going...? Should I stop? I'm really not sure, so if you have an opinion either way, now might be a good time to say so. Leave an Anchor.fm voice message or find me on Twitter @stuff_witchy

In this episode we talk about how to word your spells effectively, and how your unknown intentions come into play.

Let's talk about magical ingredients! Why do we need to use them or not use them? What all can be considered an ingredient? How do we know which ingredient to use? Correspondences...? Like writing letters? Spoiler alert!! Not like writing letters. We're getting deeper into real spell work now, and this is all about amplifying your power.

Last week's episode was about casting a circle in a very "ritual" way. This week we start off by going back to casting circles, but in ways that are less ritualistic. After that, we'll go over consecrating tools. Why do we do it? How does it work? DOES it work?? Come on in and let's have a sit and chat.

In this episode, we go over the purpose of casting a circle and how to do it. It's definitely not just a Wiccan thing, and it can really up your power when you're doing a magical working.

In this episode we talk about Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit. What kind of energy does each have? What kind of magic does each work with? What are the flip sides to each Element?Twitter: @stuff_witchy Book recommendation: Elements of Magic https://www.amazon.com/Elements-Magic-Reclaiming-Earth-Spirit/dp/0738757144/ref=sr_1_1?crid=22QE56H326R4C&keywords=elements+of+magic&qid=1642690730&sprefix=elements+of+magic%2Caps%2C434&sr=8-1

Want to know what the magical mindset is, and learn how to use it? Want to know what some of the common witchy tools are? Sit a bit and have a listen. Don't forget to say hello  on Twitter @stuff_witchy! Feedback is always a good thing. What would make the podcast better? Editor's note: Moving the mic a little further away so it doesn't sound like Celeste is gasping for air would be great. She'll work on that. She'll also stop talking in third person here, because it's honestly weird.

Celeste is on the struggle bus today, but eventually finds her flow to talk about beginning your magical journey with topics like whether you want to focus more on the academics of witchcraft and magic, or on Energy. Speaking of that, what even is magical Energy? She also talks about the process of casting a spell and what we need to go over before you work spells that affect things outside of yourself.  She also talks about setting up a Twitter so we can interact with each other, and that's now done (@stuff_witchy)! Let's sit and talk, baby! Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Celeste discusses some differences and faux pas to avoid regarding Witchcraft vs Wicca, then talks about how to create your own Book of Shadows.
