March 02, 2021 Ep. 24: Your ultimate guide to the spring equinox
In this episode, we're deep diving on the history, mythology, symbols, astrology, and traditions of the spring equinox. The equinox occurs in March in the Northern Hemisphere, when the sun reaches 0° of Aries, the first sign in the zodiac.
We celebrate the spring equinox because it is one of the two days a year when the daylight and nighttime hours are equal and balanced. In fact, there are monuments all over the world that align with the sun on this day!
Listen to the episode to get an in-depth overview of how you can celebrate the spring equinox in your own life and what the energy of this day is all about. Then, go further with these resources:

February 09, 2021 Ep. 23: Top moon ritual "mistakes" that are actually okay to make
In today's episode, we are busting all kinds of myths about the many different ways you can supposedly practice moon rituals wrong.... the truth is, you can't make any mistakes in your own practice!
Here are a few you might have heard around the internet which are NOT TRUE:
1. You can only practice your new or full moon rituals on the exact day of the phase.
2. You have to celebrate all 8 (or even 9) of the moon phases in great detail.
3. You can't let the sun touch your moonwater and charging crystals or the effects of the moonlight will be ruined.
4. You have to make moonwater and charge your crystals every full moon.
5. You have to cast a circle and call the elements or four quarters to start your moon rituals.
6. You can't practice a moon ritual or charge your crystals if it's cloudy out and you can't see the moon.
Honestly, all of these are nonsense. You can practice whenever, however, and in whatever ways feel right to you! The only actual rule with the moon phases is that you need to tune into your intuition to discover what feels right, supportive, and nurturing for you personally.
Just for good measure, though, here is one actual mistake I do hear people make frequently: the energy of the full moon is for celebration and amplification, not for banishing or release, (which is actually what the waning moon, the full two weeks that follows the full moon, is all about!) But even with this one, if it feels good and right to you to release at the full moon, then trust yourself.

January 06, 2021 Ep. 22: 8 signs you're not living in alignment with your astrological chart - and how to fix it
Happy 2021! We are diving back in with a big, juicy episode to help you explore your chart and get realigned with your truth in the new year.
Here are 8 signs you're not living in alignment with your astrological chart - which is literally a map of the stars at the moment you were born and metaphorically a map to your higher self and purpose - and how to fix it:
You struggle to find your joy. Solution? Look to your sun sign and house.
You feel pressured to express (or repress) your emotions in a way that feels unnatural. Solution? Look to your moon sign and house.
You feel like you're on an emotional rollercoaster all the time. Solution? Track the moon signs and which houses they activate in your chart each month.
Changes are whirling at you and you never see them coming. Solution? Pay attention to the big transits, especially of Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, Pluto and the North Node.
Your life feels aimless, you can't seem to find your purpose and you're just lost. Solution? Look to your North Node sign and house.
You know you're drawn to witchcraft but struggle to know what path or practices are right for you. Solution? Check out what sign is in your 8th house but also your sun sign and house - remember, find the joy.
The moon phases seem "off" for you, like you're energized when you're "supposed" to be drained or vice versa. Solution? Check out your natal moon phase.
You're dealing with burn out, overwhelm, and feel unnourished. Solution? Check out what sign you have in the 4th house, as well as your moon sign and house.

November 30, 2020 Ep. 21: How to connect with nature in the wintertime
It can be tough to feel connected to nature during the cold, dark days of winter but for many witches, feeling connected to nature is an essential part of our practices. So what's a witch to do?
Luckily, Sagittarius season is here to help. This mutable fire sign is all about bringing light to the darkness and honoring the wisdom of nature.
Bringing nature into your home or working with herbalism are great options for connecting with nature during even the darkest days.

October 19, 2020 Ep. 20: 5 ways I embody my inner witch every day
Embodying your inner witch is about committing to your ideal witchy lifestyle. When your daily life is grounded in magick, you get to have mystical experiences every single day, no matter what you're doing.
If you were embodying your inner witch in your real life right now, what would you be doing? How would you feel?
Achieving that vision in your own reality requires you to follow your intuition and really trust yourself to know what's right for you, to prioritize your magick as much as you prioritize anything else you need to do in your life, (stop choosing laundry over witchcraft - they're both important!), and to find a supportive community that can help you hold yourself accountable.
But what does it actually look like to embody your inner witch every day? Here are five ways that work for me:
1. My morning ritual - start the day off with witchcraft! I check the moon phase, sign, and which house it's activating in my chart, pull an oracle card and journal on it and write down 5 things I'm grateful for.
2. Tea - I choose a particular tea blend to drink for the day inspired by the season and the moon phase.
3. Magickal workday - light a candle or diffuse oils at your desk, use crystals to clear the energy of your office, or incorporate magick into your workday, no matter what you do for a living
4. Seasonal checklist - I like to make a list at the beginning of each season of witchy and otherwise fun things I want to do. This is inspired by my friend Alexis' seasonal "might-do lists!"
5. Accountability - check in with my people, whether that's my besties in our lowkey coven, my spiritual business mastermind, or the wonderful people in the circles and memberships I lead myself

September 14, 2020 Ep. 19: 5 tips for practicing witchy self-care rituals
Witchcraft and self-care both have deep roots in ancient, ancestral wisdom and modern, feminist movements. Yet, both have become associated with trendy, consumerist culture as well.
Let's fight the patriarchy together and reclaim the true meaning of witchcraft and self-care by creating sacred rituals that nurture our minds, bodies, and intuition!
In this episode, I'm sharing five tips from my upcoming book, The Modern Witch's Guide to Magickal Self-Care, which will be out in October 2020:
1. Get curious about what really resonates with you.
2. Check out where the moon is in your astrological chart for self-care inspiration, as well as what your sun, rising, and Ceres signs are.
3. Start and end the day with morning and evening self-care rituals.
4. Allow space for your rituals to adapt and evolve as you do.
5. Think of your rituals in categories, what I like to call the 5 Pillars of Divinity.
I'll be speaking more on what the 5 Pillars of Divinity are and how you can use them to nurture your inner witch during The Empowered Modern Witches Summit from September 21-25, 2020.

August 17, 2020 Ep. 18: How to have more consistent rituals
Ever struggle to be consistent in your rituals, whether you want to do them daily, for the new or full moons, or even just seasonally?
As we head into Virgo season this week, let’s talk about how you can turn that around and create rituals that are not only fun and fulfilling but that you both WANT to do and will ACTUALLY do.
We'll go over my four cardinal tips for greater consistency:
1. Know thyself – before you can create any rituals, you have to know what you want and what you need
2. Make your rituals a priority by scheduling time for them
3. Have a plan and know what it is you’re going to do, what you need, how much time you need, etc
4. Have several rituals to choose from for when you don't have time and so you don't feel to constrained
Are you interested in having a private mentor to help you discover your inner witch, create consistent rituals that you actually want to do every day, and go from stuck to spellbound in your spiritual practice, fill out this application so we can discuss how I can support you!

August 03, 2020 Ep. 17: 21st century celebrations for the three harvest festivals
It can be difficult sometimes to connect with the eight pagan sabbats that make up the Wheel of the Year, as they are rooted in ancient Celtic agricultural festivals that don't really have a lot of bearing on our 21st century lives.
But the three harvest festivals of Lammas, the Autumn Equinox, and Samhain in August, September, and October usher in most witches' favorite season: fall!
These three festivals are about celebrating the abundance of the harvest - both agriculturally and metaphorically. It's a beautiful time for reflection, gathering, gratitude, shadow work, and celebration.
Catch my tips for celebrating these three festivals in the 21st century, then come and share how you're celebrating them in my free Facebook group for Empowered Modern Witches!
Plus, join me for live sabbat rituals and get access to dozens of videos, beautiful digital magazines every month, daily text messages, weekly emails and more in the Starlight Coven, just $49.95 per month (cancel anytime.)
