Way of the Weaver

At the beginning of 2026, we drew a 12-month tarot forecast for our extended magical community. Once each month, we revisit the cards and runes we drew. In this episode, we reflect on the months that have passed (October 2026), and remind ourselves of the predictions for the month ahead (November 2026).

Many magical practitioners incorporate things like colors, herbs, stones, symbols, and more in order to layer correspondences into their rituals and spellwork. Is this part of your practice? Join Jamie and Murphy for a quick overview about how correspondences work, why you want to use them, and a few fun stories illustrating how we've included them in the past.

Dowsing is an ancient tradition for finding resources and testing truths, often using sticks, rods, arrows, or branches to indicate the answer to a question of the location of a resource (such as underground water). Nature augury, while not the same exact technique, is a related divination method focusing on the natural world. In this episode, Jamie and Murphy explain these concepts, share some of their historical roots, and offer suggestions on how to use them in your magical practice.

Weaver Camp review! In this episode, Jamie and Murphy share their highlights and takeaways from 2026 Weaver Camp. This year we invited the wolf Fenrir of Norse mythology into our rituals and magic. Fenrir's myth brought powerful themes of living through climate change and chaos, breaking our fetters, and seeing beyond the glamour of fear to claim our freedom.
