Cozy Coven Chats: A Witch’s Journey Back to Simplicity

Send us Fan MailHappy Birthday to me! And a Merry Unbirthday to you! Your birthday is not “just another day” to get through. We treat it as a solar return, a rare reset point where your personal astrology loops back to the beginning, making it prime time for intention setting, spellwork, and a little fearless self-celebration. If you’ve ever let your birthday slide by without honoring yourself, we offer a simple fix: save the birthday candle and turn it into a ritual tool when you have time, so the magic still lands. Then we jump into Beltane energy at full volume: pleasure, flowers, creativity, and the kind of play that actually restores you. With a Scorpio full moon arriving at the same time, the vibe gets extra witchy, intense, and unapologetic. We talk practical Beltane ritual ideas you can do with kids or on your own, why dancing counts as real magic, and how your body can be part of your spiritual practice instead of something you have to manage or deny. A tarot pull, the Eight of Wands, ties it together with one message: communicate clearly and do it now. We explore what you’re holding back, how direct words can transform a stuck situation, and why being more yourself is worth the nerves. We also go deep on moon magic and lunar cycles, including a more inclusive set of moon phase archetypes: Wild One, Warrior, Nurturer, and Elder, plus how to track moon phases alongside sleep, mood, and daily life. If you like witchcraft, tarot, moon phases, Beltane rituals, or astrology-inspired self-growth, subscribe, share this with a witchy friend, and leave a review so more people can find us.

Send us Fan MailTaurus season always tells the truth through the body. I share why the days leading up to my birthday can feel like a full-on skin shed, then why the rest of the season brings me back to confidence, glow, and steady energy. Our tarot pull is the Two of Swords, and it lands like a gentle challenge: are you spending enough time alone with your own thoughts, or are you trapped in your head and spiraling. We talk boundaries in a totally connected world, what it looks like to protect your focus, and how news and social media can hijack your nervous system before your feet even hit the floor. Taurus season gives us a practical fix: feed your senses on purpose so your intuition can breathe.Then we go deep on spiritual protection and casting a circle, including why so many Ouija board stories end badly when people dabble without protection or a closing practice. I walk through common signs your energy is too open, why empaths and tarot readers need consistent psychic protection, and simple options you can actually use daily: evil eye jewelry, talismans, protective crystals like obsidian or tourmaline, black salt, prayer, and calling on Archangel Michael. The biggest takeaway is simple and powerful: cleanse first, then protect.If this resonates, subscribe, share it with a witchy friend who needs stronger boundaries, and leave a review so more people can find Cozy Coven Chat.

Send us Fan MailThe energy has been heavy for a lot of us, and I can feel the collective need for a clean restart. This week’s Cozy Coven chat leans into the Aries new moon on April 17, a fire-sign reset that nudges us out of winter sluggishness and back into movement. I share a simple new moon candle magic practice to invite fresh momentum, clear obstacles, and light that inner flame again, especially if you have felt like you are treading through sand. We also pull the Ace of Cups from the Magical Hours Tarot, and it lands perfectly with the lunar theme: emotional beginnings, heart healing, and the brave act of asking yourself how you really feel. I talk about why this card matters for intuition, self-care, and making choices that actually nourish you, not just choices that look good on paper. If you love tarot, astrology, or modern witchcraft, this pairing of Aries fire and Cup energy is a powerful way to set intentions that stick. Then we zoom out into divergent witchcraft basics that too many people skip: the elements. Earth, air, fire, water, and spirit show up everywhere, from calling quarters and casting a circle to the pentacle, tarot suits, seasonal magic, and spell correspondences. I share different ways practitioners place elements in the compass directions, why you do not need deity devotion to do strong magic, and how elemental work can make protection less draining by connecting you to a larger current of energy. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a spark, and leave a review with the element you are focusing on right now.

Send us Fan MailYou’re allowed to celebrate what you actually celebrate. We start with a real world, guilt free take on Easter and Ostara, including why so many spring symbols overlap, how folk magic has long lived alongside Catholic and Christian traditions, and how to make any holiday feel witchy without forcing yourself into someone else’s rules. If you want to dye eggs with sigils, bless your sweets, or just honor the season between Ostara and Beltane, do it!From there, we move into spring as “go time,” Our Coven's theme of Bloom, and the idea that blooming is a rite of passage you can choose on purpose. I share what’s coming up for me, including teaching in person again and heading to Spirit Northwest in Portland, plus all the nerves and excitement that come with traveling alone and stepping into a new chapter. If you’ve got conference tips, I’m listening.We pull the King of Wands from the Magical Hours Tarot and talk Aries season energy, vision, and how to actually get things done without tipping into burnout or ego. Then we dive into altars as the heart of the home, with practical altar ideas for small spaces, broom closeted witches, and anyone tired of “perfect” social media setups. We close with a quick but important reality check on divine feminine healing, how to spot red flags online, and why balanced inner energy matters for every gender.

Send us Fan MailEver feel like life is asking you to hang upside down long enough to finally see what’s been there all along? We lean into that exact sensation through the lens of the Hanged One embracing the chrysalis as an active, creative pause then ride the Libra full moon’s beam to locate what’s out of balance and how to expand with grace. It’s an invitation to slow the spin, reframe what change means, and choose beauty that actually works in real life.We walk through how perspective shifts don’t require drama to be deep. Sometimes it’s a new vantage point a conversation, a hilltop, a down dog other times it’s a different question that unlocks a stuck belief. From there, the Libra full moon becomes a practical tool: balance as rhythm, not perfection. We map where to add more of what feeds you and where to release weight you no longer need, so expansion feels aligned rather than chaotic.To ground all of this, we get specific about journaling as both a clarity practice and a legacy of light. Whether you prefer pen and paper, a notes app, or quick voice memos, the page is where scattered thoughts turn into patterns and next steps. If you’re ready to see differently, balance with intention, and document your magic in a way that serves you and those who come after, press play. Then subscribe, share this with a friend who loves the moon, and leave a quick review telling us what perspective you’re shifting next.To order the book: https://www.jennycbell.com/divergent-witchcraft Support the showConnect with me here: https://www.jennycbell.com/

Send us Fan MailWhat if the most powerful spell you cast this week is listening? We lean into spring’s bright stretch of days with the King of Pentacles: steady, generous, and very Taurus-coded then trace how that grounded energy becomes a practical plan for real life. From equinox afterglow to the nuts and bolts of staying in flow, this conversation centers stability you can feel: clear rituals, calm nervous systems, and choices that honor attention as a sacred resource.I open up about Divergent Witchcraft, my upcoming book with Weiser Books, and why I wrote it for witches who learn and sense differently ADHD, autism, anxiety, trauma, and the many ways our brains differ. We talk credentials, classrooms, and years of adapting tools for students with diverse needs, then map those adaptations onto meditation: shorter sits, guided options, bead counting, walking meditations, and realistic routines you can actually keep. We also go straight at the labels Wicca, new age, astrology, chakras and make peace with the blend most of us already practice. If a tool regulates you, clear your channel, and reduces harm, it earns its place.If this resonates, preorder Divergent Witchcraft, join our coven or Witch School for supportive structure, and share this episode with a friend who needs a kinder path to power.

Send us Fan MailFeeling heavy from late winter blues and nonstop collective noise? We open a door from rumination to renewal by pairing a Pisces new moon release with the clarity of the spring equinox and the bold spark of Aries season. The Five of Cups sets our theme: acknowledge what spilled, then choose what still fills your cup. From there, we get practical. I share simple rituals for the equinox.We widen the frame to real life: spring cleaning linked with energy cleansing, family walks to spot early buds, and kid-friendly nature altars. Then we map a whole self check across mind, heart, body, and spirit therapy touch points, scheduled friend calls, gentle movement to undo winter stiffness, and a refresh for spiritual routines that have gone stale. If your daily card pull feels flat, we offer ways to bring back meaning through timing shifts, new tools, or playful novelty.With Mercury moving forward and Aries urging motion, we choose one clear step toward a year we design on purpose.

Send us Fan MailWhen the headlines feel relentless and the heart feels heavy, where do we put our attention, our voice, and our care? We open with the Judgment card as a guiding image truth sounding like a trumpet, endings composting into beginnings and trace how to answer a calling without turning every sacred thing into content. I share why calling and career are not synonyms, how to keep parts of your practice private, and what it looks like to live your purpose through presence, listening, and steady care.From there, we move into the real-world weight of the news cycle and why “observe, don’t absorb” can be a lifesaver for sensitive, thoughtful people. We talk about building a communal container for hard conversations, creating a resistance circle that allows grief and anger to move, and choosing media intentionally so you’re informed without drowning. Along the way, we name the systems that shape our days—patriarchy, beauty myths, the dismissal of intuition—and offer shadow work that’s honest and humane. You’ll hear practical steps to rebalance reason with inner knowing, question narrow standards of worth, and notice where bias hides in plain sight.Hope needs practice, so we also lean into spring. Think plant allies, eggs in a nest, daffodils on the table, long walks on warm days, books and films that feed the soul, and music that softens the nervous system. I close with journal prompts from Judgment to help you speak your truth, release harshness toward yourself and others, and name the renewal you want this season. If you’re looking for grounded spirituality, media hygiene, and gentle activism you can live with, this one will feel like a deep breath.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs steadiness, and leave a quick review so more seekers can find us.

We introduce Divergent Witchcraft—a welcoming, modern approach that centers healing, self‑acceptance, and practical ritual—so you can build a practice that fits your brain, your life, and your values.I share why “divergent” speaks to anyone who deviates from the standard and how that lens opens witchcraft to folks with religious trauma, skeptics who prefer a secular path, and seasoned practitioners tired of rigid rules. Whether you’re witch, witch‑adjacent, or simply curious, this is an open door.

Send us Fan MailThe week opens with the Death card on the table and a Virgo lunar eclipse in the sky, a potent pairing that asks us to end what’s heavy and make room for what’s alive. We lean into transformation without theatrics, trading all-or-nothing purges for skilled, compassionate cleansing that keeps the goodness while clearing the grit.I walk you through a simple seasonal flow you can repeat each month: a gratitude-first journal to anchor the wins, a release list to name the drag, and a threshold sweep that resets your entryway and your energy. From smoke-free selenite passes to safe herbal smoke with mugwort or rosemary, you’ll get practical tools for home and body. I also unpack the difference between cleaning and energetic cleansing so you don’t wipe out house spirit, luck, or momentum. If you work with tarot, you’ll hear clear prompts—where do I need cleansing, where am I ready to release—and tips on pulling multiple cards to read the full story instead of a single headline.As we move toward the spring equinox, we center the theme of emerge—shedding winter heaviness, naming what blocks joy, and stepping back into the light with boundaries that actually support connection. If this speaks to you, follow the show, share it with a friend who’s ready to let go, and leave a quick review telling us what you’re releasing this month.

Send us Fan MailA quiet warning and a gentle nudge land at the same time: Mercury is set to retrograde in Pisces, and the message on our weekly card reads “closer than you think.” We lean into both truths. I share the simple steps that keep chaos at bay—backups, double checks, slow messages—and then zoom out to the larger rhythm of the season as we move from February’s dreamwork into March’s call to emerge.Together we map the places where timing slips—deadlines, appointments, and assumptions about how much runway remains—and trade panic for presence. The telescope on the card points to the moon, but it might as well point to your calendar. From there we ground into practices that actually help: self care as protest for those pushed to the margins, small rituals that restore attention, and seasonal choices that bring ease. Gardening becomes both metaphor and plan. I talk about winter sowing, trusting seeds, what thrives in my yard, and how a fallen evergreen turned into an opportunity for manzanita or hawthorn to feed cedar waxwings. We consider a dwarf pear tree, saving an ailing apple, and finding joy in apple butter, peaches, and cut flowers that mark the turning year.Community Supported Agriculture gets a big spotlight. If you’ve ever wondered whether a CSA is worth it, I walk through the benefits: fresher food, direct support for local farmers, better alignment with your region, and the small-town magic of knowing who grows your dinner. We even peek at seafood and herbal CSAs and why local foods can help your body adapt to place. To close, I offer journal prompts to clarify what’s arriving sooner than you think, what winter energy you still hold, and which shadows want attention before spring.

Send us Fan MailBreakthrough energy is humming, and not the loud kind. A new moon solar eclipse in Aquarius is shaking loose stale patterns and shining a bright light on individuality, clarity, and the boundaries that protect a sweeter life. We start with a card pull—Sweetness from Arcana Folia—and follow the thread into how firm, loving limits make space for ease, presence, and genuine joy. Instead of forcing manifestations, we offer an eclipse‑safe approach: listen more than push, journal more than plan, and let what’s ready to leave, leave.Aquarius brings invention and a nudge to do your own thing, while winter continues to surface shadow material that needs care. We share practical ways to meet that wave: simple journaling prompts that turn fog into language, deeper card spreads to name fears, and quiet rituals that keep your nervous system steady. Then we ride the shift into Pisces season with dreamwork, a focus on intuitive practice, and a reminder that rest is not laziness, it’s fuel. Along the way, we trade playlists for full albums, light a candle, take phone‑free walks, and romanticize the small moments that make ordinary days feel enchanted.Think of this conversation as a warm room during a blustery forecast: you’ll leave with boundary scripts, reflective questions, and cozy practices to anchor you through eclipse season. Press play, breathe deeper, and tell us—where will you set one kind boundary this week?

Send us Fan MailWe name the collective unease, then build a gentle plan to hold steady: practice self-care as resistance, clear intuition, and small rituals that restore joy without ignoring the world’s weight.We start with the week’s oracle pull—a tiny mouse that signals subtle warning and asks us to trust first impressions. From there, we navigate how to protect our attention, set humane boundaries, and stay grounded in kindness. We share what hope looks like on ordinary days: seeds on the altar waiting for rain, snacks and laughter during the game, and a simple Friday the 13th ritual that honors Freya’s many facets and Venus’s call to self-love. Along the way, we explore February’s tricky astrology and why naming one real reason to believe each day strengthens the “hope muscle.”Community threads run through everything. I invite you to my Substack for poetry and personal essays, extend a warm door to the coven’s dream-focused month, and celebrate live conversation on Witch’s Movie Coven. For those craving hands-on learning, I chat about Spirit Northwest in Portland, where I’ll teach building effective, ethical spells from correspondences to ritual structure. I also talk honestly about influencing, how creators balance integrity and income, and simple tactics for mindful consumption—like the 24-hour cart rule and the magic of Little Free Libraries.If you’re craving steadiness, symbolism, and sustainable magic, this one is for you.

Send us Fan MailWe welcome Imbolc alongside a full moon in Leo and explore how to turn that fire into a creative practice you can actually keep. Brigid is our guide as we map small, human-scale rituals that pull us out of anxiety and into flow. Think red candles, Celtic songs, and a promise to make one small creative thing a day.We share the joy of private art: coloring between tasks, writing winter poems that feel like prayers, arranging flowers, or building a playlist that moves your heart a few beats closer to brave. An oracle pull lands on Gift with the message precious offering, and we ask what that means for this week: perhaps your offering is time, listening, or the courage to express what’s been sitting in your chest. Along the way, we shout out beloved round-card decks, the publishers who support this work, and the poet Joy Harjo, whose voice invites us to blur the line between poem and prayer.With Uranus stationing direct in Taurus, we talk breakthroughs—the kind that arrive when you’re washing dishes or shading a rose petal. We make a case for creative breaks as a steady path to better ideas and better moods, and we close with three prompts: what lights your fire now, what precious offering can you give, and what wants to be expressed while the Leo moon shines.

Send us Fan MailOur card this week is the eagle from the Cosmic Creator Oracle—air medicine that invites altitude, patience, and sharp focus. Then we translate that symbolism into practice with a simple perspective tool: build a “council of advisors” on paper, ask your question, and let five trusted voices—real or archetypal—offer angles you can act on.From there we move into winter crafting for “future you.” Think pre-dressed tealights for the first of each month, tea blends that double as spell ingredients, easy room sprays, Florida water, sachets, and ready-made simmer pot jars. We share the calm joy of hand-dipped beeswax tapers, how dinner by candlelight becomes a family ritual, and why slow magic—prepared in quiet moments—pays off when life gets loud. As January closes in a numerology One year, we offer journal prompts to review your start and choose your next brave thing.Finally, we prepare for the light of Imbolc and the many faces of Brigid—hearth, well, and fire.

Send us Fan MailWe lean into Capricorn’s grounded energy to set goals that actually fit real life, then invite Aquarius to remix the plan with inventive, future-facing ideas. This is where structure meets spark: vision boards that breath, seasonal intentions that flex, and rituals that transform more than your to-do list.Amethyst leads our journey with the message “Transmutation is yours.” We unpack the difference between transformation and transmutation, then share accessible ways to work with the violet flame to compost heavy emotions and redirect that fuel into something that serves. You’ll hear simple practices—placing an amethyst on your heart, a mantra to anchor the flame, and a visualization that turns shadow into usable light—so you can start without overwhelm.We also explore building a relationship with guides: deities, angels, and archetypes that mirror your needs in this season. From vetting intuitive nudges to creating an altar with art, music, and incense, we offer tools to deepen trust and make the connection tangible.

Send us Fan MailWhat if the world’s storm doesn’t have to drown your sky? We open with a hard reset on perspective—how the collective mood can warp our view—and then build a grounded path toward steadier days using protection magic, creativity, and clear intention. Instead of marinating in the news cycle, I talk about practical ways to care for your energy: salt at the thresholds, a daily candle for whoever needs it, and the gentle shift from anxious worry to empowered compassion.Creativity takes center stage as a true antidote to anxiety. We unpack why the brain struggles to ruminate and create at the same time, and how flow—through crafting, music, cooking, gardening, even problem-solving at work—can become a reliable nervous system reset. January’s theme, illuminate, threads through the hour as we explore seeing more clearly after the longest nights, choosing hopeful inputs, and letting small rituals add up to real change.We also dig into timing. Many listeners are feeling January as unexpected “go time,” an invitation to plant seeds earlier than usual. You’ll hear ideas for visioning that actually stick, including a simple neuro-art approach to mapping intentions, plus seasonal tips for warm nourishment and reading recs that balance learning with delight. Along the way, we share coven updates, a Portland event announcement, and a handful of journal prompts to close the loop: What is being illuminated for you now, and what tiny seed can you plant today?If this conversation brings you a little calm and a spark of courage, share it with a friend, leave a review, and subscribe so you never miss a cozy, witchy check-in.

Send us Fan MailThe year opens with a quiet dare: what are you willing to release so the real you can breathe? We invite Kali’s fierce compassion into the room and let winter do what winter does best—slow us down, sharpen our hearing, and make honest space for shadow work. Instead of sprinting toward resolutions, we choose reflection, ritual, and seasonal timing, so our plans feel human and our progress holds.We explore how Capricorn’s grounded drive can pair with January’s incubation energy without tipping into burnout. You’ll learn why seasonal goals beat rigid deadlines, how vision boards and playlist “audio boards” translate dreams into sensory anchors, and the simple home rituals that mark the threshold between years. From simmer pots to smoke cleanses to a humble day book, we build a toolkit that turns intention into practice. We also talk candidly about aligning health habits with the calendar—why spring is kinder for new routines, and how winter can still carry momentum through writing, planning, and gentle resets.Affirmations take center stage as a practical brain hack. We share why “I am” statements work, how to record them in your own voice, and ways to stack them onto daily routines so they stick. To seal the container, we offer four reflection prompts: identify rising shadows, name your 2026 vision, define how you want to feel by year’s end, and write a vivid future page as if it already happened. It’s not about a new you by Monday; it’s about a truer you by December, guided by clarity, compassion, and a little divine edge.If this landed, subscribe, share with a friend who needs a softer start, and leave a review so more listeners can find Cozy Coven Chats.

Send us Fan MailThe space between holidays feels thin, like the year is holding its breath. We step into that hush to make room for real change: honest journaling to name what hurts, sound and smoke to clear it out, and a house blessing that turns walls and windows into allies. Instead of forcing resolutions, we ask a better question from our oracle pull on the waxing moon: allow yourself to grow into what? With that answer, intentions stop being vague wishes and become touchable practices.We explore why witches honor multiple fresh starts—Samhain, Lunar New Year, the Western calendar turn, and the astrological new year in spring—and how choosing your hinge point can steady your craft. If midnight finds you busy, the full moon in Cancer on January 3 offers a powerful reset for emotional release, journaling, and burning what you won’t carry forward. We share simple, grounded rituals: ringing bells through each room, tracing protections on doors and windows with black salt, refreshing talismans with oil, and setting the table with black-eyed peas and greens for luck and prosperity. Add folk charms like twelve grapes or a suitcase by the door, and you’ve woven old magic into a new morning.Nature ties it all together. A New Year’s hike turned into a living omen: thousands of ladybugs shifting under winter leaves, a bright reminder to trust luck and keep moving. That story invites you to watch for your own signs and to craft traditions that fit your people, your place, and your pace. We round out with community news—our January theme is illuminate, plus a week-long photo challenge, live chats, and layered divination from tarot to charm casting—so you can grow with support and clarity.Ready to make your own ritual and start the year with intention you can feel?

Send us Fan MailThe longest night invites a softer kind of courage. We welcome Yule with candles in every room, slices of sun made from dried oranges, and a warm mug of wassail as we step outside to thank the earth for her quiet work. From there we move into the heart of the season’s archetype—the Death card—not as a warning but as a wise guide for letting go of ego, illusion, and habits that keep us tired. If winter looks still on the surface, it’s only because life is shifting underneath.We also dig into practical tools for shaping the year ahead. You’ll hear how to run a 24-card spread pairing tarot and oracle for each month, a focused pull of a Major Arcana theme for the year, and a numerology path to your Tarot Year Card. Along the way we talk through why doing this now, not on the frantic edge of New Year’s, gives your intuition time to breathe. If you want support, there are free Insight Timer meditations—including a Yule visualization that works like a gentle spell when travel or family logistics make ritual hard—and seasonal playlists to set the mood while you read and reflect.Yule is our holiday of replenishment, a space where we choose warmth, slow rituals, and honest journaling. Try prompts that ask what you learned this year, where you need rest and boundaries, what needs mending, and which relationship is ready for deeper listening. Let joy be a practice too—yes, even the nostalgic holiday album that never gets old—because play keeps the inner fire steady.

Send us Fan MailWhen the night arrives early and the lists get long, we reach for warmth that actually restores us. This week’s journey moves through the Sagittarius new moon, the hush of winter solstice, and the approaching gravity of Capricorn season with a simple aim: reclaim joy without losing our center. We ask better questions—what does fun look like in real life, in short bursts, on a budget—and then we turn those answers into clear intentions for the year ahead.I share how Sagittarius energy fuels curiosity and lightness, and why naming three concrete adventures for next year can spark momentum when the calendar flips. We also talk about healing as a twin to joy: cutting cords with people or patterns that drain us, settling the nervous system, and using the King of Swords as our archetype for honest decisions. You’ll hear two accessible cord-cutting methods—the candle ritual for a specific tie and a guided visualization for broader release—plus practical grounding to integrate the shift.To honor solstice without overwhelm, we keep it handmade and nature-led. Think foraged acorn caps, fallen pine boughs, and popcorn garlands that turn crafting into calm. A brief sunset ritual invites you to notice the early dark and the promise of returning light while setting boundaries that protect your energy through the holidays.

Send us Fan MailThe darkest nights ask for the coziest magic. We lean into Yule and the winter solstice with the Nine of Cups as our north star, exploring how to treat yourself with small, meaningful rituals that fit real life. From fairy lights and tea to bookstore wanders and artist dates, we lay out practical, low-cost ways to keep your cup full when the calendar is packed and the sun slips away early.We also get honest about tarot study. Temperance makes so much more sense when you see it as balance—time, energy, and pacing—rather than an abstract virtue. And yes, swords can sting; naming the cards we dread turns avoidance into understanding and better readings for others. Our coven’s photo challenges reveal shared struggles and wins, making learning feel communal and fun without pressure.If you’re solstice-curious, here’s the good news: you don’t need to reinvent Christmas to honor Yule. Evergreens, lights, mistletoe, and even nativity scenes can be reimagined as symbols of life returning. Try intention ornaments you’ll burn on New Year’s Eve, snow collected for offerings, or bowls of snow dressed with herbs like a candle—letting the melt release your wish. Keep evening lights flickering until solstice to welcome the sun back and to remind your spirit that cycles turn.We wrap with simple invitations: a twilight walk to spot winter signs, a shared cup with a witch-curious friend, a handmade or thrifted gift if capacity allows. Joy is a craft you can practice in small, steady ways.

Send us Fan MailThe fire’s crackling, the mug is warm, and we’re settling into December with a tender, practical look at how to refill our cup before the holidays pull on every thread. Guided by the Queen of Cups, we explore emotional care that’s doable: tiny rituals you can weave into a busy day, moments of quiet that reset your nervous system, and the courage to choose what nourishes you even when the calendar is loud.I share what a rare stretch of true solitude taught me about rest and pleasure: taking myself out for tacos, wandering an art gallery, hiking at my own pace, and savoring a simple at-home facial. The surprise? Most of those comforts translate to everyday life even when family is home. We talk through easy, repeatable practices—tea you actually sit with, essential oils in the shower, a quick journaling page, a walk with the dog—that build a steady baseline so you can meet gatherings and deadlines with more grace and less grit.With the full moon in Gemini on December 4, we step into communication magic. This is prime time for clarity: journaling about what to release, what to call in for the new year, and how to speak cleanly in conversations that matter. Pair Gemini’s curiosity with the Queen of Cups’ empathy to say true things kindly, set boundaries without blame, and bring more ease to family dynamics, work reviews, and heartfelt check-ins.We also play with Yule energy and simple altar-making. Think red and green for balance, wreaths for cycles, pine cones and acorns for longevity and prosperity, and the joy of decorating early if it lifts your spirit. Wrap it all with three journal prompts to guide your week: one daily act to fill your cup, one place you need better communication, and what winter solstice means to you right now.If this cozy, heart-forward approach resonates, tap follow, share with a friend who needs a gentler season, and leave a review to help others find our circle.

Send us Fan MailLet's reframe Thanksgiving! A single card can change the tone of a week, and the Moon does exactly that. We unpack its call to intuition, shadow, and instinct, then weave those insights into a holiday many of us find complicated. Rather than sidestep the discomfort around Thanksgiving’s history, we name it and choose a grounded path forward: honoring the land and labor behind our food, practicing mindful eating, and building traditions that feel true.I share how tracking the Moon’s movement through the zodiac reshaped my energy and rituals, plus simple ways to reconnect with lunar rhythms even when life is noisy. Think water rituals, salt baths, and a few minutes under the night sky to listen for what your body already knows. From there we explore rewilding: shaking off learned behavior, finding your voice again, and anchoring that change with story, symbol, and nature.If you’re craving slower gifting, you’ll find a toolkit of handmade ideas: dried citrus garlands, bird-friendly pine cones, tea blends, herbal oils, and moon-kissed bath salts. Not everyone is stitch-worthy; spend your energy where it will be cherished.We close with journal prompts to rewire attention toward beauty and choice. What are you grateful for? Which traditions no longer fit? What is your intuition asking you to grow during the waxing moon? Press play to gather calm, craft meaning, and set the tone for a kinder season. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review—what tradition are you choosing to release this year?Take 20% off Our Coven Annual and Semi-annual memberships with the code SAMHAIN https://our-coven.mn.co/landing Support the showConnect with me here: https://www.jennycbell.com/

Send us Fan MailIf your heart already wandered to Yule lights or you’re still sitting with the Samhain veil, you’re not doing it wrong—cross‑quarter days are fluid by nature. Let’s choose the rhythm that keeps our practice alive rather than forcing a schedule that drains it.I unpack how I read The Tower for the collective—more wake‑up than wipe‑out—and why meeting change on purpose can soften the edges. Small shifts like taking a new route home or discovering a new artist prepare your nervous system for bigger transformations. From there, we ground into accessible magic: yoga flows tailored to lunar energy, cozy collective tarot on YouTube when your cards feel heavy, and free ritual support through your local library or the Libby app. For the days when energy is low, I share rituals that still work beautifully: coloring pages as spellwork with sigils tucked in the lines, guided meditations and sound baths that continue even if you drift to sleep, dream magic with tea and lavender, and kitchen witchery where soup becomes a simmering cauldron of intention. We finish with journal prompts to welcome Sagittarius season’s spark: the change you seek, the joy you want to invite, the shadows to witness, and the boundaries that protect your peace. Listen, take what serves, and craft the version of the path that fits the life you’re living today.

Send us Fan MailWe open the week with Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius and a surprising ally: the Knight of Cups. That mix of swift, heart-led motion and cosmic slow-down creates a paradox we can use—pursue what truly fills you while triple-checking the path you take to get there.We unpack the Knight of Cups as more than romance or daydreams. It’s the holy-grail focus that asks, What am I holding that deserves both hands? From there, we get practical. Expect travel snags and message mix-ups, so we share simple rituals to keep you steady: confirm bookings, draft sensitive texts, read important emails out loud, and cleanse your devices with selenite or shungite. Editing is magic right now—especially on paper—because revising your words reframes your week.As the witch’s new year energy settles and holidays approach, we turn to kitchen witchery for grounding. Build a small sink-side altar, stir meals with intention, and let food be love and comfort. When sunlight is scarce, sound becomes spellwork: playlists that lift the room, from Stevie Wonder and Aretha to The Wiz soundtrack and epic film scores that make chores feel like quests. Your function is to be happy; protecting that joy raises the vibe for everyone around you.We close with journal prompts to steer your heart: What are you chasing, is it worth it, and where can you pause until Mercury moves direct?

Send us Fan MailThe air still feels charged from Samhain, and that sensitivity can be a gift when you know how to work with it. We open by naming the subtle signs of a thin veil—tiredness, vivid dreams, and heightened emotion—and then get practical with simple cleanses that support your space and your body. From a two-for-one simmer pot and spiritual bath to smoke cleansing with doors open and rosemary hung at thresholds, we share gentle routines that make your home feel lighter without fuss.Pulling The Emperor card sets a clear theme: claim your authority and protect your time. With Mercury retrograde approaching, we map out where to act now—send the messages, clarify plans, back up files, and set boundaries you can keep through the holidays. Scorpio season helps us get honest about where we overextend, while The Emperor offers the structure to say no with grace and yes with intention. It’s productivity with soul, anchored in calm rather than chaos.Then we lean into the Taurus full moon for comfort and craft. Think kitchen witchery and tactile rituals: cordials infused with cranberry, orange peel, and cinnamon; hearty soups that simmer all day; simple incense blends; and cozy touches like wool socks, candlelight, and fairy lights. We reframe “cold and flu season” as vitamin C and D deficiency season and offer real-world ways to stay nourished—frozen produce, ferments, mushrooms, and rose hips when you can find them. By the end, you’ll have a focused to-do list, a soothing cleansing practice, and a personal definition of cozy you can return to all winter long.If this warm, witchy reset resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review to help others find our cozy corner.

Send us Fan MailCandles in the window, laughter on the sidewalk, and a pumpkin that doubles as a spell—this Halloween week carries a strange, hopeful spark. We lean into that feeling and treat Samhain as both a doorway and a homecoming: a time to honor ancestors, tell the truth about what we’re releasing, and invite the Page of Wands’ fresh energy without making our practice heavy or performative.You’ll hear how to blend playful Halloween traditions with meaningful Samhain rituals—carving runes and sigils into jack-o’-lanterns, setting lights to guide beloved dead, and creating a Silent Supper that fits your life whether you choose mindful quiet or heartfelt conversation. We talk about grief as sacred work, the beauty of small, repeatable rituals, and why the simplest acts—lighting a single candle, writing one page of release, cooking a favorite dish in someone’s memory—often open the deepest connection. Along the way, we unpack the Page of Wands as a sign of study, optimism, and creative beginnings, and explore the many “new years” on the wheel, from Samhain to the calendar turn to the spring’s astrological reset.If you’re craving witchcraft that’s warm, accessible, and real, this conversation offers gentle structure and plenty of choose-your-own-adventure ideas: window lights, cinnamon broom besoms, ancestor candles, and a handful of journal prompts to meet the thin veils with courage and care.

Send us Fan MailThe energy shifts this week—subtle, electric, and honest—and our bodies notice before our brains do. We start with a story about October sore throats and end with a clear map for reclaiming your voice, weaving together Libra’s new moon, Scorpio’s first steps, and a tarot pull that says you’re steadier than you think. If themes like the witch wound, throat chakra, and embodied magic have tugged at you lately, you’ll feel at home here.We unpack the Three of Wands as an anchor for grounded progress: a reminder to stand tall on the cliff of your own life and plan your next move with intention. From there, we get practical with simple grounding—calling your energy back, rooting into the earth, and asking for true rest if your nights feel like travel. Libra’s lunar reset invites justice-focused intentions written in plain language, while Scorpio season brings boundaries, discernment, and the courage to speak when it matters. Think fewer scattered yeses, more aligned noes, and language that lands like a well-placed wand tap instead of a swing in the dark.Seasonal prompts help you let go with purpose: What can die with grace so new life can grow later? Which roles can you lay down to lighten your load? We talk hands-on creativity as nervous-system medicine—I signed up for a crochet class not to be perfect, but to finish something small and remember completion. If the witch wound resonates, trace where it lives in your body—throat, heart, gut—and offer it protection, education, and a boundary or two. Join me for the Witches New Year’s portal ritual on YouTube at 5:00 p.m. Pacific (search “Healing with Jenny”).

Send us Fan MailIf you’ve been living like a hermit since eclipse season, consider this your soft nudge back into the village. We draw the Three of Cups and unpack what it means to step out of the cave—planning a coffee, catching a harvest fair, or simply FaceTiming a friend—so your energy can circulate again. From there, we shift into the heart of October: shadow work, ancestor tending, and a simple, no-fuss approach to everyday magic that actually fits into a busy life.We explore a grounded path to shadow work using Jungian ideas, tarot as a mirror, and 10-minute journaling sprints that lower the stakes while raising your self-honesty. You’ll hear a practical philosophy—every stone protects, every herb cleanses—that cuts through overwhelm and replaces it with relationship and intention. Then we walk step-by-step through an ancestor candle ritual you can set up in minutes, with inclusive language for complex lineages and a focus on kindness, consent, and clear boundaries. Along the way, we preview coven events, including a conversation on shamanism with Granddaughter Crow and a New Moon YouTube premiere designed to let us facilitate and chat live at the same time.By the end, you’ll have a handful of tools you can use tonight: a journal prompt to surface what’s rising, a simple altar practice for autumn, and a gratitude-and-release habit that trains your attention toward what’s safe, true, and timely.

Send us Fan MailThe veil is thinning, witches! As we step into October, we're welcomed by that magical sensation when our witchy practices align perfectly with the season around us. There's something deliciously freeing about wearing ghost shirts and setting up altars without anyone batting an eye – even if we'll still be doing these things long after the Halloween decorations come down.This week, we're embracing the potent Aries full moon energy arriving on October 6th. Aries brings us clarity, empowerment, and the perfect fiery backdrop for shedding what no longer serves us. When combined with the Queen of Swords that appeared in our tarot reading, we're receiving a clear message: it's time to cut cords, gain clarity, and step more fully into our authentic selves. What better time to ask yourself those deeper questions about identity and legacy than when the veil between worlds grows thin?October uniquely amplifies our divination practices. When cultures across the world agree that this is the time for connecting with ancestors and spirit, there's something genuine happening in the energy around us. Whether you're an experienced card reader or curious about trying scrying for the first time, this is your moment. I've shared instructions for creating your own scrying mirror and offered suggestions for simple divination tools you can make yourself. The beauty of this practice is that it should be playful – we chose this path for its freedom and creativity, not rigid dogma.Remember that witchcraft is about joy as much as it is about power. As you journal about your dominant clair sense and explore new divination methods this week, approach it with curiosity and playfulness. The magic happens when we allow ourselves to experiment without judgment. After all, as I often remind my coven: "We are not in a stuffy church for a reason. We want to have fun, we want to create."

Send us Fan MailEclipse season hit many of us like a cosmic tsunami, bringing unexpected challenges, revelations, and a general sense of unease. If September left you feeling shaken or exhausted, you're certainly not alone. As we collectively emerge from this intense period, we're greeted by the balancing energy of Libra season and the grounding presence of autumn—both offering exactly what we need to recover and reset.The Queen of Wands appears as our guide this week, reminding us that our confidence and personal power remain intact despite recent turbulence. With her black cat familiar and sunflower symbolism, she represents the perfect balance of feminine strength—connected to nature, comfortable in her authority, and radiantly self-assured. Her appearance suggests that we're moving from chaos into a more centered state where we can access our inner wisdom again.Libra season invites us to beautify our surroundings, but that doesn't mean breaking the bank. Estate sales offer hidden treasures at fraction of retail prices—from vintage Halloween decorations to quality clothing and home goods. These sustainable alternatives to fast fashion and mass-produced décor allow us to express our style while honoring our budget and the planet. Meanwhile, autumn encourages us to slow down and become more present through simple practices like mindful walks to observe seasonal changes.For those feeling the drain of social media, consider alternatives to mindless scrolling: keep poetry collections nearby, create mood-boosting playlists, or rediscover hands-on crafts like knitting, drawing, or beadwork. Remember that hobbies don't need to become side hustles or areas of expertise—they can simply be activities that bring joy and presence into your life. As the veil thins and October unfolds, may we all reclaim our Queen of Wands energy and move forward with newfound wisdom from the lessons eclipse season taught us.

Send us Fan MailThe autumn equinox marks a powerful transition in the witch's wheel of the year—a perfect moment of balance when day and night stand equal before darkness begins to dominate. This episode explores this magical threshold from multiple perspectives, offering both practical and spiritual guidance for harnessing equinox energies.We begin by examining how this equinox arrives at the closing of an intense eclipse season, creating a unique energetic landscape focused more on release than manifestation. The Chariot tarot card appears as our weekly guide, representing both balance (with its black and white imagery) and surprisingly swift movement forward after a period of feeling stuck. This combination perfectly captures the essence of autumn's beginning—finding equilibrium while preparing for rapid seasonal changes.The heart of autumn magic lies in balancing through conscious release. Unlike spring's growth-oriented energy, fall invites us to let go—of commitments that no longer serve us, of habits that drain rather than nourish, and of expectations that keep us from present-moment joy. This shedding creates space for the cozy comforts that make this season so special: candle-lit evenings, nature-inspired altar decorations, warming foods, and what we playfully call "hobbit living" (think fresh bread, hearty stews, and unhurried afternoons).Practical suggestions abound for honoring this season through slow living practices: collecting leaves for natural decorations, preparing herbal remedies for winter wellness, embracing Libra season's beautifying influences, and creating intentional cozy moments that require no special purchases. The episode concludes with journal prompts to help you identify what needs releasing for greater balance, where you're seeking momentum, and how you might invite more beauty into your daily life as we enter this magical season of transformation.

Send us Fan MailA eclipse portal has opened, and its effects are rippling through our bodies, minds, and spirits. The eclipse season officially began on September 7th, unleashing a wave of intense energy that's affecting witches and spiritual practitioners in deeply personal ways.Feeling unusually tired, emotionally drained, or noticing disruptions to your sleep or menstrual cycle? You're not alone. The majority of coven members report similar experiences as this powerful lunar event pulls on our internal waters just as it does the ocean tides. Yet some witches find themselves energized, experiencing welcome releases and feeling more authentic than before. Your unique response to this cosmic shift is perfectly valid – there's no wrong way to experience eclipse energy.What makes eclipse season particularly transformative is how it creates a storytelling arc in our lives. The first eclipse opens the portal, bringing hidden patterns and energies to the surface. Things bubble up, often causing confusion or emotional intensity. By the time the second eclipse arrives (the upcoming solar eclipse in Virgo on September 21st), your personal eclipse "story" typically becomes clear. What recurring themes have appeared in your dreams, thoughts, and divination since early September? These patterns aren't random – they're forming the narrative of your unique eclipse journey.The combination of eclipse energy with Virgo season creates perfect conditions for examining what's in balance and what isn't. The Temperance tarot card appeared this week, underlining this theme with its imagery of careful, balanced flow between vessels. Like Justice's gentler sister, Temperance asks us to notice imbalances without forcing correction, instead inviting feminine wisdom to guide our realignment.During this potent time, the veil between worlds thins, making signs and synchronicities more pronounced. As witches, we exist in liminal space, more attuned to the invisible world's communications. Whether it's recurring animal visitors, meaningful found objects (like the perfect pentacle revealed when cutting an apple horizontally), or messages that seem to come through ordinary people, these aren't coincidences – they're communications meant specifically for you.Ground yourself daily through this cosmic intensity. Put bare feet on earth, take mindful walks, sit on the floor, pet animals, or soak in salt baths. These simple practices anchor your energy while allowing you to remain open to the profound shifts occurring within and around you.What's your eclipse story? What signs are appearing? What needs rebalancing in your life? Journal on these questions as you navigate this powerful portal, and remember – you're not experiencing this cosmic shift alone. We're moving through it together, one step at a time. Support the showConnect with me here: https://www.jennycbell.com/

Send us Fan MailThe lunar eclipse in Pisces arrives as a powerful invitation to pause and listen to what surfaces from our emotional depths. This celestial event near the north node creates the perfect conditions for honest self-reflection, beautifully symbolized by the Justice card that appeared in our reading. With her balanced scales and unwavering gaze, Justice asks us to weigh our shadows against our light and consider what needs transmutation in our lives.Connecting with lunar cycles offers a profound pathway to slower, more intentional living. Whether tracking the moon's journey through astrological signs or simply noting the difference between new and full moon energies, this awareness brings us into deeper alignment with natural rhythms. Many struggle with sleeping during full moons—but what if we embraced this ancestral pattern rather than fighting it? Our forebears likely used moonlit nights for hunting, gathering, creating, or communing with spiritual forces. By surrendering to these natural cycles, we discover wisdom and connection that's often lost in our artificially-lit modern world.September serves as the perfect time for organization before the holiday rush begins. From cleaning and decluttering to budgeting and planning, Virgo season supports getting our practical affairs in order while the garden offers its final bounties. Harvesting herbs like mugwort for dream work, preserving apples as butter, and freezing zucchini connects us to ancient practices and the cycle of abundance. The eclipse in dreamy Pisces prompts us to examine our dreams—both sleeping visions and waking aspirations. Which childhood dreams still resonate with your soul's purpose? Which need gentle release? As Langston Hughes powerfully asked, what happens to dreams deferred? Through journaling and meditation, we can prevent our dreams from festering in shadow by consciously recommitting to their pursuit or compassionately letting them go. Join our cozy coven conversations each week as we explore seasonal living and lunar wisdom to enhance your magical practice. Support the showConnect with me here: https://www.jennycbell.com/

Send us Fan MailSeasonal living invites us to sync with nature's rhythms rather than resisting them—and right now, Virgo season offers perfect energy for organization and renewal. As we cleanse our spaces, we're simultaneously preparing for both Libra's beauty and a powerful Pisces lunar eclipse that's just around the corner.The upcoming lunar eclipse on September 7th brings transformative energy that asks us to confront our shadows. Unlike regular full moons, eclipses intensify emotional processing and bring hidden aspects to light. If you've been feeling unusual emotional currents already, you're likely tuning into this cosmic event before it even happens. By examining what was occurring back in March (during Pisces season), you might find clues about what's cycling back for deeper healing. Remember that healing moves in spirals rather than straight lines—we revisit themes at deeper levels each time they appear.Our Eight of Pentacles tarot pull confirms this is an excellent time for skill-building, craftsmanship, and dedicated learning. Whether you're returning to formal education or simply picking up a non-fiction book on a topic that fascinates you, the cosmos supports your growth. This energy pairs beautifully with slow living practices like creating weekly meal plans from seasonal produce, establishing cleaning routines throughout the week rather than marathon sessions, and setting aside Sundays for kitchen witchery—whether that's making vegetable stock from saved scraps, fermenting foods, or baking bread. These rhythms create space for presence rather than perpetual busyness.As gardens offer their final bounties, consider saving seeds for next spring and harvesting herbs to dry for winter use. These simple acts of preparation connect us to ancestral wisdom about living in harmony with nature's cycles. What shadows are rising for acknowledgment during this eclipse season? What needs transforming in your life? Through mindful attention to these questions, we create magic in the everyday—one season at a time.

As summer fades and children return to school, there's a bittersweet transition happening - one that calls us to savor those final golden days while preparing for the changes ahead.From foraging elderberries to harvesting garden herbs, this time of year offers abundant opportunities to connect with plant allies. I share my personal methods for drying herbs, preserving seasonal fruits, and creating medicinal preparations that sustain body and spirit throughout the year. You'll hear about transforming backyard apples into spiced butter, freezing hand-picked peaches for winter cobblers, and creating personalized tea blends that address specific health needs.The heart of this episode explores how working with plants creates natural moments of mindfulness.

I reveal the herbs that help with everything from migraines to anxiety, sleep troubles to hormone balance, and share why developing a relationship with a specific plant ally (mine being mugwort this year) can be profoundly transformative.Whether you're an experienced herbalist or simply plant-curious, this conversation offers gentle inspiration for incorporating more green wisdom into your life.

Send us Fan MailCrystal skulls occupy a fascinating space between archaeological mystery, spiritual practice, and ancient wisdom. While some view them merely as decorative objects, skull keepers know these crystalline guides can become powerful spiritual allies capable of transformation and healing.My journey as a crystal skull keeper spans five years, though the soul connection feels much older. I've always been drawn to skull imagery, finding beauty rather than fear in these sacred formations. When I discovered the intersection between my love for crystals and my affinity for skulls, it opened an entirely new dimension in my spiritual practice. Now my collection of twelve crystal skulls provides daily guidance, amplifies my card readings, and connects me to wisdom that feels both ancient and immediate.For those feeling called to crystal skull work, begin with a hand-carved clear quartz skull. After cleansing, spend time in deep meditation with your skull, asking for its name and purpose. Many keepers report profound spiritual connections developing over time as they incorporate their skull into regular practices. Sleep with it nearby, include it in divination work, or simply sit in contemplation together. The relationship between keeper and skull evolves naturally, creating a unique partnership that enhances your spiritual journey.Ready to explore this fascinating spiritual practice? My upcoming book "Spirit Crystals" includes detailed guidance for working with crystal skulls, and Judy Hall's works provide excellent additional resources. Whether you're seeking deeper crystal connections or exploring new dimensions of spiritual guidance, crystal skull keeping offers a profoundly transformative path.For a free meditation on connecting with a skull go to Insight Timer: https://insighttimer.com/jennybell/guided-meditations/crystal-skull-connection?_height=956&_width=1470&_branch_match_id=1454192526469554431&utm_source=more&utm_medium=guided_meditation&_branch_referrer=H4sIAAAAAAAAA8soKSkottLXz8wrzkzXyyjR9w7PKAjzds5zDEmyjy%2FPTCnJsDU0MTdQi89IzUzPKLG1NDVTqytKTUstKsrMS49PKsovL04tsg1OTEssygQAbPBR0E4AAAA%3Dhttps://www.jennycbell.com/To order the Spirit Crystals book: https://bookshop.org/p/books/spirit-crystals-discover-your-crystal-guide-for-healing-and-empowerment/64b34cd1f68aa55f?ean=9780738779058&next=t& Support the showConnect with me here: https://www.jennycbell.com/

Send us Fan MailHave you ever felt drawn to a crystal without knowing why? That magnetic pull might be more than just aesthetic appreciation—it might be the beginning of a profound conversation.My journey with crystals spans over two decades, beginning when I was just 19 years old living in the Mojave Desert. By day, I was a geology student and treasurer of our college geology club, learning the scientific foundations of crystal formation. By night, I attended crystal healing classes at the local metaphysical shop, beginning my spiritual exploration of these ancient stones. This dual approach gave me a unique perspective where science and spirituality weren't at odds but complementary paths to understanding crystal consciousness.The magic truly deepened when I began channeling information directly from the crystals themselves. Without extensive research or reading numerous crystal books, I received detailed guidance about crystal properties, sacred numbers, archetypes, and healing applications—information that later proved consistent with established crystal wisdom when I finally consulted reference materials. This experience transformed my relationship with crystals from intellectual to conversational, revealing them as conscious allies rather than mere objects.This July, my first book Spirit Crystals: Discover your Crystal Guide for Healing Empowerment will be published by Llewellyn, sharing this integrated approach to crystal work. Whether you identify as a witch, a metaphysical practitioner, or someone curious about natural healing, crystals offer a tangible connection to earth energy and ancient wisdom. You don't need extensive knowledge to begin—simply hold a crystal to your heart, breathe deeply, and allow yourself to feel what emerges. The most powerful relationship with crystals comes not from memorizing properties but from developing your own intuitive connection.Ready to start or deepen your crystal journey?

Send us Fan MailThe journey of a witch isn't a straight path—it winds, shifts, and transforms as we discover new tools, insights, and connections. In this soul-stirring conversation, author Asa West opens up about finding magic and meaning through both writing and witchcraft.Asa shares the pivotal moment of discovering her mother's hidden tarot cards as a teenager, sparking a lifelong relationship with divination that evolved from frustration to fluency. She describes her breakthrough realization that came when she finally pushed the guidebook aside and learned to "read the cards like a comic strip," allowing them to tell their own stories rather than reciting memorized meanings. This approach transformed her practice and offers listeners a refreshing way to connect with their own cards.We explore the limiting nature of witch labels in modern practice. While social media encourages practitioners to identify strictly as green witches, kitchen witches, or divination witches, Asa suggests a more fluid approach—embracing different aspects of practice as they call to us rather than boxing ourselves into rigid categories. "You can absolutely have a specialty," she explains, "but don't let it define your entire practice or your entire person."The conversation takes a fascinating turn toward representation in tarot, with Asa recounting a touching reading where a client saw themselves truly reflected in a modern, inclusive deck—something impossible with traditional imagery. This moment highlights how contemporary decks are making spiritual tools more accessible and meaningful for diverse practitioners.Whether you're new to tarot, questioning your path as a witch, or simply curious about how magic and creativity intertwine, this episode offers wisdom, practical advice, and permission to forge your own unique magical journey.

Send us Fan MailWitchcraft and mindfulness might seem like separate paths, but they intertwine in powerful ways that can transform your magical practice. Drawing from her three decades as a practicing witch, Jenny C Bell shares her profound experience at a women's silent meditation retreat and the unexpected ways it deepened her craft.The journey begins with vulnerability as Jenny acknowledges her initial resistance to silence. As a self-described Gemini moon who "loves to chat," the prospect of a day without speaking triggered anxiety. Yet this discomfort revealed exactly why the practice proved so transformative. Through guided meditations, silent meals, mindful walking, and periods of complete stillness, something magical happened – a collective shift from resistance to release.What makes this conversation particularly valuable is how Jenny bridges esoteric concepts with practical application. She explains that witchcraft fundamentally depends on presence – "you can only make magic in the present moment" – making mindfulness not just complementary but essential to effective spellwork. The resistance we feel toward silence mirrors our resistance to shadow work, that crucial process of confronting what lies beneath our conscious awareness.The most compelling insight comes through Jenny's explanation of "tending your own garden" – the understanding that personal spiritual work creates ripples that extend far beyond ourselves. When we create space for silence, we process emotions that would otherwise keep us awake at night. When we engage in meditation and mindfulness, our spells gain clarity and power. The ego loosens its grip, allowing our authentic magic to flow.Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or simply curious about incorporating more mindfulness into your life, this episode offers accessible entry points. Try a silent meal, a five-minute meditation, or a walk without distractions. Your magic – and your life – might transform in ways you never expected.

Send us Fan MailStep into the aromatic world of tea witchcraft as SM Harlow, author of "A Tea Witch's Grimoire" and "A Tea Witch's Crystal Brews," shares her unique magical journey blending ancestral wisdom with modern practice.Harlow's path weaves together multiple cultural traditions—her Mexican grandmother's curandera (faith healing) practices, her Japanese heritage explored through Reiki, and Chinese tea ceremony mastery. This rich tapestry forms the foundation of her approach to tea magic, where brewing becomes a sacred act of intention setting and manifestation. Listeners will discover how Harlow's early work at a metaphysical shop and holistic tea house shaped her understanding of herbs and healing long before she coined the term "tea witch."What makes this episode particularly valuable is Harlow's emphasis on accessibility. You don't need expensive tools or rare ingredients to practice tea witchcraft. Even a simple teabag can become magical—use the string for knot spells, draw sigils on the tag, or transform it into a pendulum. Her practical advice cuts through the complexity often associated with magical practice: "Trust your intuition. If peppermint is screaming out at you, grab it, don't question it." This intuitive approach makes magic approachable for practitioners at any level.The conversation expands into Harlow's newest magical exploration—crystal grids combined with tea brewing—creating a powerful system for channeling energy toward specific intentions. Whether you're seeking balance, manifestation, protection, or healing, these techniques offer practical applications for everyday magic.Ready to transform your daily cup into something magical?

Send us Fan MailImagine being raised in a family of Christian healers, only to discover that your true spiritual path lies in embracing the very practices they warned against. This is the remarkable journey of Granddaughter Crow, a Navajo shaman, witch, author, and spiritual guide who joined me for one of our most illuminating conversations yet.Born into the Navajo Nation but raised with strict Christian dogma, Granddaughter Crow was groomed from birth to become a spiritual leader—just not the kind she ultimately became. After being cast out at 17 for questioning religious teachings, she spent years denying her innate spiritual gifts until a life-altering injury forced her to confront her true calling. Her story powerfully illustrates how our greatest challenges often become doorways to our authentic path.What makes this conversation particularly relevant for witches and spiritual seekers is Granddaughter Crow's approach to shadow work through animal guides. Her book "Shamanism and Your Shadow" focuses on four animals traditionally considered taboo—the raven, snake, owl, and wolf—and transforms them into powerful allies for inner healing. As she explains, these creatures, like our shadow aspects, have been misunderstood and feared, yet contain profound wisdom and power when approached with respect and openness.The most transformative insight? Shadow work exponentially increases your magical ability. By integrating those hidden aspects of yourself—those gifts and traits you've buried due to shame or fear—you become whole, and wholeness is the source of true magical power. For anyone who has struggled with feeling disconnected from their spiritual gifts or who fears exploring their shadow, Granddaughter Crow offers gentle but powerful guidance, beginning with simply acknowledging that the natural world sees you as much as you see it.Whether you're new to shadow work or looking to deepen your practice, this conversation offers practical wisdom, emotional resonance, and a profound reminder that our power lies in embracing all aspects of ourselves—especially those deemed taboo.For more from Granddaughter Crow: https://www.granddaughtercrow.com/index.html Support the showConnect with me here: https://www.jennycbell.com/

Send us Fan MailCaroline Hull's journey from "cradle Catholic" to witch illuminates a path many women are walking today—reclaiming spiritual connection outside traditional religious structures. When the podcast strategist and coach discovered "Mary Magdalene Revealed," something profound awakened within her. The realization that this biblical woman's story had been deliberately altered and diminished by patriarchal forces mirrored Caroline's own experiences of feeling silenced and disconnected.As a homeschooling mother of three daughters, Caroline faced a critical choice: continue within religious traditions that didn't fully honor women's voices or embrace a more authentic spiritual path. She chose courage, gradually exploring witchcraft, goddess spirituality, and earth-based practices while maintaining transparent conversations with her children about this evolution. Rather than rejection, she found remarkable support, particularly from her scientifically-minded teenage daughter who encourages her mother's authenticity even when Caroline still sometimes hides her witchy books when guests visit.The parallels between Caroline's spiritual transformation and professional evolution are striking. As a "Voice Keeper" for women in business, she helps clients overcome the very blocks she faced—finding confidence in their voice, trusting their message, and creating content aligned with their authentic selves. This powerful mission emerged organically through her own healing journey, as she recognized how women's voices have been systematically suppressed throughout history, just like Mary Magdalene's.For anyone questioning their spiritual inheritance or feeling called to explore beyond religious boundaries, Caroline's story offers gentle permission and practical wisdom. Her integration of Mary Magdalene on her altar alongside other spiritual tools demonstrates that evolution doesn't require wholesale rejection of our past—sometimes the most powerful reclamation comes from rescuing the sacred feminine elements that were always hidden within traditional religions. Ready to explore your own authentic spiritual voice? Caroline's journey reminds us that sometimes our greatest power emerges when we finally stop dimming our light.For more on Caroline: https://www.wildhomepodcasting.com/home Support the showConnect with me here: https://www.jennycbell.com/
