Witch ,Bitch, and Crone.

In this episode Willow interviews Wednesday about the world of plant magic just in time for spring. Wednesday explains what the basis of plant magic is, how to form relationships with plants, and some antidotal science discoveries that prove what the ancients have always known; Plants are our friends-they understand vibrations, moods/energy and they respond to it. 
Wednesday explains the nature of a relationship of plants and how it must be based on the same values as a relationship with a person or animal- respect, reciprocity, and held sacred to you.  Willow asks vital questions about different methods of getting your feet wet when starting to work with plants and which plants are the best allies for helping with major life concerns like health, protection, money and love.  Wednesday gives her basic anti-cold "potions" that uses plant medicine and magic to keep her healthy in flu season when she feels a cold coming on, and how you can always translate plant magic from the garden to the kitchen and to house magic. 
The list of references Wednesday swears by in the event that you want to learn more about plants, plant magic, and their metaphysical uses are:

"The magic of trees" by Tess Whitehurst
"The magic of flowers" by Tess Whitehurst

Go get your hands dirty, Blessed Be!

***** DISCLAIMER: THE CONTENTS OF THIS EPISODE ARE TO BE USED ONLY WITH GREAT CARE AND ETHICAL CONSIDERATION AND NOT TO BE USED BY THOSE WHOM ARE INEXPERIENCED AND UNSUPERVISED. BABY WITCHES ESPECAILLY BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 In this episode Willow and Wednesday discuss some of the methods they have used to protect themselves in real time after someone violated their boundaries.  The methods they discuss are both effective and work within the karmic loophole/gray area of protection in a case by case basis. They discuss the serious ethical considerations one must make before using any of these spells and why they use them sparingly. In experienced practitioners should not use these methods without consulting an experienced witch/an experienced witch's supervision. These spells are last resort actions when personal safety feels threatened, but they do not negate the need for practical safety measures (such as calling the police, locking your doors, and watching your children) that we use in the everyday mundane world. 

DISCLAIMER: In this episode you get glimpses of Wednesday's style of protection magic paired with her dark humor. Her humorous references to any assassin like behaviors are strictly metaphorical  to reference to her "ninja" like approach to protection magic( unassuming, you never see it coming, and highly effective). 

In this episode Willow and Wednesday break down the in's and out's of protection magic that is proactive for your person, home, and work place. They give two approaches and practical examples of them. Willow's approach is relatively open and overt, while Wednesday takes a more covert approach that most people don't even register but react accordingly all the same. No matter your personality, we are sure there's something here to inspire you to spruce up your own protective energy.

* This episode like all others contains some language that is not dinner table appropriate*****
Spring has arrived in the northern hemisphere (FINALLY) and keeping in tune with the season, we thought it was time to talk about all the work needed for a bountiful harvest, AKA healthy finances. Just like crops take lots of care, time and attention to grow and require those responsible choices to be made consistently, so do financial goals. We aren't here to shame anyone, but we will keep it real with the guess that it isn't likely Ed McMann is showing up at your doorstep with a million dollar check after you cast an abundance spell.  We will be the first to tell you that some of the best things in life are free, but to be truly wealthy we think there needs to be a balance between spiritual wealth (happy home, good relationships, health, fulfillment) and material wealth. We need to be happy, but it's hard to focus on what needs to be done to be happy when you're worried about how to afford groceries, balance is everything.

We go over the practical steps that are vital for abundance before any magical steps are taken simply because that's the way it works when you live in a 3D world, and we all do. Once you've gotten your shit together in the 3D world and are taking all the steps you possibly can? Then we have some magically inclined tips to help remove those obstacles, but these alone won't make you a rich bitch. No, "the lord will (NOT) provide"...... And you shouldn't expect your fellow man to entirely either. Sharing is one thing-mooching is another. Good habits, understanding how money works and actually earning income are always the first and most important steps when it comes to abundance financially.  We say this with a caveat that you could be richer than the Forbe's 500 club and still be spiritually impoverished.  Yes having enough money for comfort matters, but it won't listen to your thoughts or enrich your sense of fulfillment after a certain point. Don't believe us? Just rewatch the "A Christmas Carol" and get back to us, Ebenezer. 
Just to recap, no matter what you "gotta work, bitch", and no we're not sorry. 

Fair warning: we recorded this episode in the midst of "practicing what we preach" and ironically having to do so in tandem with addressing these subjects. We thought it was important to record candidly so that there's no pre-tense about what "self-care" really is. Our emotions are unhindered, and our language as per-usual is not dinner table appropriate. 

In this final episode specifically about keeping energy moving once you've done the footwork to get it moving, we discuss the best methods of preventing stagnant/stuck energy. While Wednesday does have a general feeling of disgust with how ubiquitous and bastardized the term "self-care" has become, it's the truest essence of the phrase that is key to preventing blockages with your personal energy flow.

Just like the best health care is preventative care for our physical bodies, preventative care for our minds and souls is the most effective method for keeping our energy flow healthy and continuous. We highlight the very realistic ways that true "self-care" for the spirit can look like in order to remain centered during life's peaks and valleys. Spoiler alert: it does NOT look like a serene monk in the lotus position.

And if you still think you're alone and "doing it wrong", just remember that we recorded this episode in the muck of moving through our own most recent challenges. Our emotions weren't "peachy keen" by a long shot and we too struggle (but succeed, usually, thanks to these methods!) to remain balanced and grounded while moving through our own sh*t. The purpose of this episode is to make the most of your hard work once you've gotten moving again so that your efforts aren't counter-productive and done in vain. These approaches to maintaining your healthy energy flow are not a cure-all for life's woes, they are a means of helping you remain centered while finding solutions.  After all, it's much more difficult to recover from a head cold when you won't allow yourself rest and to eat healthy. Why should your mind or spirit be any different?

We hope this helps you to move through your current roadblocks in a healthier manner than you've experienced in the past. We felt that of all the episodes in this series, this one was the most vital in the long run because it makes the concept realistically sustainable during your daily routines.

In part two of our catalyst magic series we cover how to take action as a form of catalyst magic when working through life's roadblocks. Willow shares her innovative approaches to mundane challenges with her calendars and magnet spells. Willow also explains why sometimes purging any ugly feelings we have is the biggest road-opener there is. We cover the many methods to our madness when it comes to choosing a divine helper for certain tasks, the right tools, and when sometimes you just need to call a friend. 

As per usual it wouldn't be us without some level of silly shenanigans and not-so-dinner table-appropriate language. Just a reminder that we are realistic humans who unapologetically speak on air the same way we do when in casual conversation with one another. The charm of our show is in how it seems like two friends chatting organically about life and our approaches to navigating it. We hope you enjoy Willow's brilliant and practical approach to magic -in-action and we encourage you to put your own spin on our suggestions to get your personal energy moving again. 

Until next time, Be well !

 Are you feeling tired? Unmotivated? That the things you used to enjoy aren't interesting anymore? This isn't an add for anti-depressants (while those are actual symptoms of depression- a real illness), its a symptom description of what stuck energy can look like.  Sometimes you or your home can experience spiritual constipation (all too common)/blockages and we're here with strategies to help you get that sh*t movin'! (Yes, we made a cheeky joke, puns are the stuff of life people).

In this episode we get into the details of energy flow and recognizing blockages/imbalances with some of Wednesday's favorite literary resources for this work and how to get your home's "energetic constipation" relieved with practical solutions that are often anything but fancy.  Willow shares stories of how this process worked in real time over the past three years from her personal experience and how quickly the results showed up. You don't need to be a feng-shui expert to tune in and refine your home's vibration, all it takes is a little common sense and patience. Wednesday walks you through the process of cleansing, moving, and keeping your home's energy flowing once you've put in all that work. Starting with your home's frequency is a great way to begin removing other roadblocks you might be experiencing in everyday life. Like it or not, your home is a reflection of your internal state- of- mind (and spirit).

We hope after listening you'll accept our challenge and test our theories, feel free to send in any feedback and before & after photos !  Of course, it wouldn't be us if we didn't include some of the ridiculous that we delight in so much, and some "not so dinner table appropriate" language to accompany our non-sense. This is who we are in real life too, we hope that helps you feel more comfortable and able to relate to our magical and mundane experiences. We're just everyday broads having a good time, and we make no bones about it. Be well!

 This episode was created just in time for one of the most romantic ( or depressing) times of the year: Valentine’s day. Whether you’re “feeling the love” or “love stinks”, we’ve gotcha’ covered sweetheart! This time of year tends to make us wonder if we’re ever going to find a special someone, and sometimes that makes us consider a love spell, even if it seems “out there”. Wednesday begins the conversation with an emphasis on ethics before casting, and a warning that if they are ignored there’s always consequences. The universe is ruthless and indiscriminate when it corrects imbalance. Willow adeptly explains the ins and outs of what a soulmate really is vs. the coveted “twin flame” energy. Wednesday gets down and dirty with practical advice on how to physically make room for a new relationship, how you might be “c*ck-blocking” yourself spiritually with your home’s feng-shui, and how to expedite the process of healing from a break-up with a good old fashion clutter purge all things “ghost of lover’s past” and a deep clean. No, really-like with soap, and water, and scrub brushes-not just a smudge stick and salt.  Willow also explains the proper set up for an effective and healthy love spell, and shares what her experience was like when she cast one and met her soulmate. Wednesday surprised herself this week with the realization that she essentially pulled a “Sally Owens” and dared the universe to send her someone she didn’t think existed. (Spoiler Alert: this is just one of many things in life she’s wrong about and finds highly amusing. )Whatever the path, be it that of a wishful romantic or cynical wise-ass, both methods were a form of casting completed with the elements of free will to all and detachment to the outcome.  We hope you find who you’re looking for, and wish you all the love. Be well!

We're putting it out there that you just might have some questions you'd like answered after alot of the content we have covered, and we're happy to help.

We're looking forward to this, until then be well!

This week your favorite fellow wisewomen get real about all things " Empath". 
Wednesday asks Willow in an interview style for candid accounts of her experiences as an Empath, how she learned to understand the gift, and what some of her mishaps were along the way. We formed this episode to clear the air( much in the same spirit as the "Stupid witches" and Hecate episodes) because we were concerned about how much fluff and misinformation was being touted about this particular ability. 
 To clear the air we made sure to explain what burdens empaths carry, what the symptoms of such a gift may look like, how it shows up in balanced and unbalanced forms, and coping mechanisms that Willow has used to keep herself and her spirit balanced and clear. We were also careful to explain how the gift has evolved as Willow has grown both as a person and over the span of time/experience. This particular gift can appear differently depending on how much life experience and growth a person has had exposure to.  Whether you think you might be an empath, or you just have a curiousity because its been so hyped up, this episode will inform you from an authentic point of view that doesn't sugar coat a damned thing about this anything but glamorous ability.
