Welcome Witches to Witchcraft from A to Z, your go-to witchy podcast for finding the magic hidden among the mundane! My name is Elaine Evergreen, a practicing witch of over 15 years now and I'll be your host this week. I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday and I am wishing each an every one of you a Happy New Year! This week’s episode is all about Nutmeg’s significance and uses in witchcraft!

Nutmeg is another one of those wonderful spices that can be found in the pantry in almost every home. It’s easily accessible and super affordable. Not to mention how delicious nutmeg is in cuisine. Most use this aromatic spice in fall and winter based recipes due to its warming qualities; however, nutmeg has a lot to offer other than making a delicious cookie.

Welcome Witches to Witchcraft from A to Z, your go-to witchy podcast for finding the magic hidden among the mundane! My name is Elaine Evergreen, a practicing witch of over 15 years now and I'll be your host this week. Happy Yule to you all!

Yule is considered to be one of the oldest winter celebrations in the world. And although today, Yule is most commonly used synonymously with Christmas. It is actually a celebration of the winter solstice that occurs midwinter starting on December 21st and lasting 12 days until it ends on the New Year. The winter solstice is the shortest day of the year and so as that day passes, Yule is thought to be a celebration of the re-emergence of the sun and its ability to renew the land.

Welcome Witches to Witchcraft from A to Z, your go-to witchy  podcast for finding the magic hidden among the mundane! My name is Elaine Evergreen, a practicing witch of over 15 years now and I'll be your host this week. This week's episode is all about money and its significance and uses in witchcraft.

The great thing about money is that even if it's just a single penny or the equivalent, everyone has access to it and that money has power and value in both society and magic that you can utilize. So start collecting that coin and let's make some magic.

These cheery-yellow and sour citrus fruits are great multipurpose tools when it comes to witchcraft, just thinking about the simple aspects of a lemon can give you quite a few ideas about its uses. They're yellow, bright, they can be used to clean items, they're sour, and their juice can be used to stop the oxidization of other foods. From that alone, to me lemons are great at cleansing, banishing, happiness, and binding spells.

When it comes to knives in the our magical toolboxes, they've been present and depicted since the beginning of recorded histories of magic and sorcery and knives are still a staple in many a witches tool kits. In Ancient Egypt they were used to pierce the veil between the worlds to allow power to flow through, in the Middle ages to inscribe circles and symbols, and in some modern magical practices they're used as a symbol of masculinity and are used in others to cast and close circles. Check out my latest episode on knives and witchcraft!

Dried, powdered, fresh, candied, preserved, and pickled, this easy to find root is found in the spice cabinets and cuisines of families all around the world. Historically, ginger has been recommended for many reasons involving health and spiritual practices. It was recommended as a digestive after meals by both Confucius and the ancient Greeks. The Buddhist monk Faxian wrote about its use in staving off scurvy and the ancient Austronesians, used ginger to bless their ships. The Austronesians also used this prized root in healing rituals rituals which asked for protection from spirits. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, you can find ginger used to represent and heal the whole body due to the shape of the rhizome when harvested, which often looks like it has a head, arms, and legs.
