04:58 - Tumblr Post by @wyntercraft

05:13 - Internal Motivation Matters

07:27 - Some of the Many Various Ways in which Aleister Crowley was a Trash Heap

- Here's a link to page that is a great compilation of a ton of different quotes from Crowley's writings, displaying his racism. But fair warning, the person who wrote the article itself is a right winger and doesn't believe that Cowley was ( or Trump is) racist. So keep that in mind if you're exploring the rest of the site, but the direct Aleister Crowley quotes are what's useful there.

-   The complete text and manuscript of Liber AL vel Legis, The Book of the Law, including the commentaries by Aleister Crowley

13:21 - Acceptable doesn't mean Excusable

16:41 - Black and White Magic; You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. But how you are meaning it is racist.

I recorded this episode a while ago, and was set to publish it this past week, but I didn't feel right about publishing content that didn't address what's going on. And last week especially, your podcast feed was better served by being filled with the voices of people of colour. The main body of this episode doesn't talk about the current protests, but I do talk about it in the preamble that I recorded edited in.

Hello, friends! And welcome to this episode of Witchcraft for the Restless.

Since recording this, just a week ago, I've gone from just one client in isolation to all but two. So if you could toss a couple of coins my way, or towards others who are relying solely on our communities to get by right now.

This episode is four unrelated segments because I am /restless./ 

Episode Segments:

1. Magical and Mundane; magical uses of everyday or random items. In this edition, we chat about crochet hooks.

2. The Reference Book; witching 101, introductions to basic concepts. Correspondences and Spell Formulation

3. The Restless Witch’s Garden in the Shade; gardening updates, lessons and tips. This time, we cover seed starting!

4. Ointments, Salves and Liniments, Topical Witching for our Times. A little bit about the corona virus, how I’m tackling semi-isolation and what you can do during this uncertain time.

Hello, friends! And welcome to another episode of Witchcraft for the Restless. 

In this episode, we chat about sex, magic and sexy magic. 

Trigger Warning: This episode talks about sex and mentions sexual assault and pedophilia in passing. If you don’t feel that you’re at a safe place to be able to process those things right now, that’s completely okay and I’ll be here for you in the next episode

In muggle studies, we'll talk about how society has shaped how we culturally interact with sex, and other non-magical aspects of sex. In the spirituality segment, I'll go over a few different ways that you can incorporate sex into your magical practice. In the Witch's Cupboard this episode is our earthy friend, patchouli.  And then we have a joint Coven Corner and Podcast Community segment about my favourite sex positive podcasts and some specific and relevant podcast episodes.

Hello, Friends! Welcome to all you wonderful, restless, witchy people!  This episode is an introduction to me and my practice, a chat about tradition and ritual, how it can centre us, and some ways that you can incorporate some traditions and ritual into your life.  

And then we have our recurring segments. In RestlessWitch’s Community (now called Coven Corner), I answer an ask about what energy feels and looks like to me. In podcast community, I share some of my favourite podcasts and what i’ve been listening to this week. This week’s Witchcraft segment features the California poppy and in the Restless segment, I’ll tell you about my current crochet project. And we’ll close with a tarot reading that will advise us on how to reach our goals.
