Use the ones you like, and ignore the ones you don’t or don’t do it for ya. Thank you!  

KEEP THE SUGGESTIONS COMING SO I CAN ADD THEM AND IT GROWS IN SIZE! 

🎧 Witchy Podcasts 🎧

Podcasts to learn about witchcraft 

🎧 Witch Wednesdays is a great podcast for the baby/beginner witches out there, with 20 to 30 minutes episodes covering topics such as kitchen witchcraft, how to use herbs and crystals, how to caste a circle, and much more. 

🎧 Seeking Witchcraft, similarly to Witch Wednesdays, is aimed at beginner witches who are looking for 30 minutes informational episodes on various topics in the witchcraft and wiccan worlds.  

🎧 Between the Worlds has tremendously helped me to improve my Tarot practice. The host discusses Tarot, psychology, mythology, pop culture, witchcraft, magic, art, and history with guests, it’s fun! 

–

Witchy vibes podcasts on other topics 

🎧 My Favorite Murder - do I even need to introduce it? - is a fantastic true crime comedy podcast. The hosts are hilarious, and tell horrifying stories with the right amount of comedy, respect, and gravity. 

🎧 The Faculty of Horror is a great podcast hosted by witchy-horror journalists to tackle all things horror with a slash of analysis and research. Each episode discusses horror movies with a fascinating academic point of view. 

🎧 This Podcast Will Kill You might not actually kill you, but the hosts give me incredible witchy vibes with their knowledge in ecology and epidemiology. Each episode tackles a different disease, from its history, to its biology, and finally, how scared you need to be.

Do you listen to witchy podcasts? I’d love to get your recommendations. I especially want to start listening from podcasts hosted by witchy POC and folks from different cultures and backgrounds.

Witchcraft 101: Let's talk about cleansing, because no, it's not just sage

First and foremost, every single element has an ability to be used for cleansing and banishing.

Air: Used to literally "blow away" energy

Open your windows

Turn on a fan

Use your breath (there's a reason you sometimes snuff a candle and other times blow it out)

Water:

Running water over an object (make sure this object is safe to do that with, okay? Don't be like the raccoon with the cotton candy)

Ritual baths and showers

Washing/cleaning

Earth:

Salt (again, careful with where you put the salt, but still)

Plants can be used as protective barriers

Burying an object for a period of time before digging it back up and cleaning it off

Certain rocks and crystals

Fire:

To get the obvious out of the way - burning. This does not mean you should commit arson. This is more "burning photographs of past relationships" not "light your ex on fire"

Burning candles

Spirit:

Meditation

Self care as a priority

Cleaning your space regularly

Now, most common forms of cleansing do not use only a single element (especially fire, for obvious reasons). So here are some of the most common and easy ways to practice cleansing in a practical, everyday manner.

Smoke cleansing - combines air, fire, and earth. Practices by burning protective and banishing dried herbs, plants, incense, or wood.

Salt water - combines earth and water. Can be used in either ritual baths or on its own, spread near the borders of a space. But again, careful with where you put salt.

Crystal grid - combines earth and spirit. Create by placing protective crystals in each corner of a space.

Steam cleansing - combines air and water. Use essential oils if you so choose.

Ritual bath or shower - combines water, spirit, and if you want to add bath bombs, salt, or flower petals, earth.

Tea magic - combines water, earth, and (if you inhale the steam) air.

Literal cleaning rituals - combines spirit and any other elements you so choose. Do your laundry, clean your room, declutter what no longer serves you.

Best kitchen tip my Grandma ever taught me

I keep veggie peelings, cuttings, herb clippings and all other veggie compost in a freezer bag in your freezer for up to a month. At the end of every month I dump this bag into my crockpot, add 6-8 cups of water and cook on low for 6 hours. I drain out the veggies and herbs, and viola! You have like 8 cups of veggie broth.

I save things from veggies like: celery, garlic, onion, carrots, kale, squash, parsnips, peppers, etc. Basically any vegetable that would go into a soup, I save.

I also save bits of herbs that don’t make it into other recipes, or veggies about to go bad I have no other intention for. It’s an amazing way to cut back on costs and food waste. This stock can make enough soup to feed a whole family, or you can freeze it if you are only feeding yourself and thaw as needed.

You can customize with herbs and spices now, or when you go to make your soups. I like to at least toss in garlic, onions, a bay leaf, pepper and rosemary to the broth itself.

I havent bought soup broth in years, and I can make sure my broth is salt free or at least low salt!

It’s such a simple thing to do, and its noticable in your food budget.

“only that: we are here. this is what it means to swim in the tide, to walk the earth and feel it touch your feet. this is what it means to be alive.”
