Magical Autumn ￨ Mabon Musings

Welcome to Witchy Woman Walking! I'm thrilled to have you here for this introductory episode. This podcast is like a moving meditation; I'm bringing you with me on my walks as I connect with nature and spirit. For me, autumn (fall) is the best time to connect with our witchy selves. And since Mabon is upon us, this conversation will be full of inspiration surrounding the autumn equinox. Join me for a ramble through the woods, an oracle card pull, book recommendations, and a Mabon-inspired  kitchen witch menu. Lace up your shoes and hop on a trail or simply grab a cup of tea and allow your mind to wander along with me.
