The Empowered Modern Witches Show: Recent Episodes
Tenae Stewart
Your guide to simplicity in witchcraft and practicing fulfilling rituals in your real, daily life. Hosted by the Witch of Lupine Hollow
In this episode, I'm joined by Julie Anne Stratton, who is a musician, witch, author, and priestess of the goddess. She has studied many different paths such as Germanic, Dianic, and Gardnerian Wicca and is now fully in the ReClaiming tradition.
We discussed her fascinating journey as a witch and her novel, 'The Witches of Riegersburg', about the witch trials and Burning Times in Austria, the repercussions of which are still felt today in the form of pervasive witch wounds for so many of us.
Julie shared how she discovered her spiritual path while studying music abroad in Europe and how much of her practice is about reclaiming the divine feminine and the interconnectedness of all peoples.

In this episode, I'm joined by Karen Gargiso, an accountant and financial empowerment coach, (and our very own witchy accountant here at Lupine Hollow!) She is a money witch and founder and CEO of Sacred Money, Inc.
Karen and I discussed the integration of practical money management with the emotional, energetic, somatic, and psychological aspects of money. Karen is all about emphasizing the role of pleasure in living a magickal life and how pleasure and sensuality can tranform your relationship with your finances.
I also asked Karen about how astrology can help us understand our financial wounds heal our money mindset.

In this episode, I'm joined by my friend, Kara Harms, the CEO of Whimsy Soul, a lifestyle and travel website. Kara lives local to me in the Bay Area and I've been writing spiritual articles and horoscopes for her site for three years now!
We chatted about the origins of Whimsy Soul and the importance of bringing a little magic and whimsy into your daily life. We also talked about the power of travel and some of the most spiritual and magical destinations we've been to - for Kara, that includes Sedona, Joshua Tree, and Hawaii.
I was excited to have Kara on because she considers herself to be "witchy-ish" but doesn't necessarily identify as a witch and it's always helpful to hear about different spiritual practices and beliefs!

In this episode, I'm joined by Tammy Mastroberte, who is a wellness expert, spiritual teacher, and award-winning author. Tammy is sharing with us about her new book, The Higher Help Method, which is a powerful guide for creating the most fulfilling life that we all strive for by outlining practical yet spiritual tools, such as meditation and mindset changes.
Tammy shares her personal journey of discovering spirit guides and mediumship after her mother's death and how it led her to develop practical yet spiritual tools for getting unstuck. She introduces her method, a four-step process that involves getting clear on what you desire, partnering with the universe to co-create that desire, receiving signs and synchronicities, and more.
Tammy also explains the different types of spirit guides and higher helpers that people can work with and how tools such as crystals can help us amplify our energy and intentions as we call on our guides.

Have you ever wanted to work more with the moon phases but weren't sure what exactly to DO? It's one thing to do a new or full moon ritual but how do you really bring your awareness to the moon on a daily basis, so it becomes a habit, deeply ingrained in your spiritual life?
Tracking the current phase of the moon, as well as the zodiac sign and where it activates in my own astrology chart, is the practice I have been most consistent with on a daily basis for nearly eight years.
In this episode, I'm sharing exactly what I track about the moon phases on a daily and weekly basis, including:
- The phase, sign, and house in my chart and what the energy of that combination is all about
- What I want to do with this energy, especially around the new moon, full moon, and dark moon
I'm also giving you an inside look at the weekly email I send to members of the Starlight Coven with the exact crystal, plant, mini rituals, and affirmations I shared for the new moon in Pisces, (as an example of what we send every week for the current moon phase!)
Join the Starlight Coven! In the most intimate community of witches on the internet, you'll find all the support and resources you need to finally have a consistent practice and live your most magickal life.

In this episode, I'm taking you through an average springtime day in my own magickal life as a cottage witch! I'm sharing what I do when I first wake up, my morning rituals, how I bring a little magick into my work day, and how I wind down in the evenings. The key to living a magickal life and having a consistent spiritual practice is to weave bits of mysticism and spirituality into every part of your mundane day.

In this episode, I'm joined by my friend, Karrie Myers, who is a wonderful astrologer and my co-host for the upcoming FREE Business in the Aquarian Age Summit on January 16-17, 2024.
We recorded this episode live on Instagram, where we talked about the energies of:
- Mars in Capricorn, as a catalyst for creating sustainable change (January 4 - February 13)
- Pluto in Aquarius, as the harbinger of a whole new age in business and collective care (starts January 20)
- The Mars-Pluto conjunction at 0 degrees of Aquarius, a transit that has not occurred in at least 2000 years and indicates a brand new beginning - the actions we take now towards justice, equity, and intuitive trust will create a new world (February 13)
- Mars retrograde in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius at 0 degrees, a transit that book ends this year of growth and innovation with a reminder not to lose our individual gifts along the journey towards greater community (January 2, 2025)
It was a NERDY conversation and one we're very excited to continue during the summit. The Business in the Aquarian Age Summit is a free 2-day virtual event for aspiring astrologers and spiritual business owners that will help you prepare for the age of Pluto in Aquarius and go all in with your spiritual or astrology business to create financial freedom in 2024.

In this episode, I'm sharing my nine-part framework for Living Your Most Magickal Life!
This is totally customizable and adaptable to so many different paths because it's mostly not about WHAT you do, but rather about discovering who you are so that you can create a practice that's in alignment for you - no matter what it looks like.
Here's a quick overview of the framework:
- Nourish your intuition
- Get to know your astrology chart
- Practice shadow work (click here to listen to our shadow work episode)
- Honor the seasons and cycles of the sun
- Flow with the cycles of the moon
- Work with the cycles of the planets and astrology
- Discover the pillars of your spirituality
- Create your rituals
- Allow your practice to evolve
Much of creating a practice that you can "stick with" is really about choosing elements of that practice that are truly in alignment with your own needs, desires, and soul journey. If you've ever struggled with having a consistent spiritual practice, then this episode is for you!
Join us in the Starlight Coven Inner Circle, where I teach on every aspect of this framework! Join by October 13, 2023 and you'll also receive FREE access to my Inner Witch Soul Discovery video series to help you delve deeper into your self-awareness of who you are as a witch.

In this episode, I'm joined by my good friend, Lorriane Anderson, who is a multidisciplinary spiritual teacher, soul-based entrepreneur, and author of The Witch’s Apothecary and the Seasons of the Witch oracle decks. She is also one of our speakers at the upcoming Empowered Modern Witches Summit, where she will be offering a reading for the collective with the new Seasons of the Witch: Mabon oracle deck. Lorriane and I have been witchy friends and colleagues for many years and often find ourselves on parallel spiritual journeys.
In the episode, Lorriane and I chat about our own spiritual practices and how they have evolved over the years, how sometimes skipping rituals can be more mindful and present than pushing through or going through the motions, and how to adapt the cycles of nature like the Wheel of the Year to suit your own needs. Lorriane also shared a really interesting and useful reframe of the Wheel of the Year, not just as seasonal festivals at specific times of year but as expressions of powerful human emotions that we might experience or tap into even in the "wrong" season, (such as tapping into the grief of Samhain in spring or summer.)

We are starting the new season with a juicy topic: what is shadow work, why it's an essential practice for most witches, and practical, actionable ways to actually DO shadow work, (a very common question I get all the time!) I'm covering:

- Magick for releasing, integrating, and transmuting shadows once you understand them
- Plant and crystal allies to work with for shadow work
- Identifying shadows in your astrology chart through the 8th and 12th houses, Chiron, and Black Moon Lilith
- Working with your astrology chart including the moon, Lilith, and dark goddess asteroids to support you in shadow work
Dropping tons of powerful gems in this one!
Want even more juicy discussion of shadow work? I'll be in conversation with other amazing witches about this during one of our live panel discussions in the 4th annual Empowered Modern Witches Summit!

- What are solar eclipses and lunar eclipses and how often do they occur
- Your natal moon sign, house, and phase

In this episode, I'm joined by Sarah Corbett, who is a Clinical Herbalist, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, and traditional astrologer who is passionate about helping others come into relationship with the natural world. She is the founder of Rowan + Sage, where she shares handcrafted astrologically-aligned herbal products, works with clients in her clinical practice, and guides others on their plant path through educational programs and mentorship.
Sarah and I had a great conversation where we defined animism, the worldview of seeing everything in the world around us as living and spirited, working with the spirits of the planets and plants, and seeing plants as emissaries of the planets themselves. We also touched on the powerful history of astrology and astroherbalism, dating back to Babylonian astrologers and physicians.

In this episode, I'm sharing all about how you to bring the abstract, intellectual concepts of astrology down to earth, using real-world tools like plants, crystals, and tarot cards. Every sign in the zodiac is associated with an element, (fire, earth, air, or water), and an archetype or a character that embodies its energy.
Plants, crystals, tarot cards, and even goddesses are also associated with elements and archetypes in this way, connecting them to the signs and planets in astrology. You can bring a particular tool, or "ally", into your life and spiritual practice in order to channel and harness the energy signature of a particular sign or planet or even to balance one out.

In this episode, I'm sharing all about how to understand one of the most complicated and confusing aspects of astrology: the transits. Transits is a very broad, catch-all term for pretty much anything the sun, moon, planets, and asteroids do - change signs, go retrograde, form aspects to one another, and more.
I'm sharing my controversial opinions about which transits are important to pay attention to and which really don't matter that much, both collectively and based on your own chart. Plus, I'm also giving you the inside track on how to know which transits are most likely to be really impactful for you personally.

In this episode, I'm chatting with Kir Beaux, (they/ them), who is an Afro-Indigenous, Trans, Non-Binary Queer, psychic witch, and spiritual counselor. Kir offers Spirit channeling sessions and education via Pink Opal Magic.
We talked all about The Emperor tarot card and how it is associated with Aries season, but reframed outside of the restricting patriarchal, capitalistic framework of the past. Rather than seeing The Emperor as this energy of authority, patriarchy, and being in charge of others, let's shift our focus to the true energy of Aries: inner, soul fire and taking up exactly as much space as we are meant to.
We also touched on Kir's own tarot practice of reflection, checks and balances, and working with their guides for clarity.

In this episode, I'm deep diving into what astrology is, how to read your own birth chart, and why your birth chart can help you in all areas of your life. We're talking about the planets and luminaries, the twelve signs of the zodiac, the twelve houses, and how they can combine in infinite ways to reflect who you are as a person.
Learning about my own moon sign many years ago, and then the rest of my chart, has quite literally changed my life. It's given me so much more self-awareness and understanding of and compassion for my tendencies, triggers, and needs. I hope it can do the same for you!

In this episode, we are talking all about the meaning of Imbolc, the Irish festival of the goddess Brighid and the harbinger of spring! This is perhaps one of the most overlooked festivals in the Wheel of the Year, but I love its quiet subtlety.
Imbolc is associated with the agricultural instances of the first lambs and ewe's milk in the late winter and very early spring, which can be difficult to relate to in our modern, 21st century lives. But this halfway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox actually calls us to do the last deep inner work of the winter before we move fully into action and intention-setting in the spring, so it serves an important spiritual purpose.
In the northern hemisphere, Imbolc always occurs during Aquarius season. It also occurs within a few weeks of the new moon in Aquarius and full moon in Leo, activating this axis of individuality and the collective. At the opposite end of the year, Lammas occurs during Leo season. In the southern hemisphere, these are reversed, but Imbolc and Lammas always activate this Leo-Aquarius axis.
Listen to learn all about the history, themes and symbolism, and astrology of this festival and how to celebrate Imbolc.

In this episode, we are talking all about the meaning of the winter solstice, also known as Yule! This is the Norse and Germanic pagan precursor to our modern Christmas. The winter solstice is the shortest day and longest night of the year, when the sun is at its lowest point in the sky. This is the darkest part of the year, a time considered sacred by cultures all over the world from Europe to South America to Africa.
Many secular Christmas traditions are actually pagan in origin, such as decorating trees and evergreen garlands, drying orange slices, cooking with spices, hanging up lights and singing songs. All of these festivities have a common theme of bringing light to the darkness - metaphorically or literally.
In the northern hemisphere, the winter solstice always occurs when the sun reaches 0 degrees of Capricorn. It also occurs within a few weeks of the new moon in Capricorn and full moon in Cancer, activating this axis of structure and support. At the opposite end of the year, the summer solstice occurs at the start of Cancer season in June. In the southern hemisphere, these are reversed, but the solstices always activate this Cancer-Capricorn axis.
Listen to learn all about the history, themes and symbolism, and astrology of this festival and how to celebrate the winter solstice.

This episode is an excerpt from our 3rd annual Empowered Modern Witches Summit in 2022, an annual online gathering of witches to celebrate the most magickal time of the year. This was a panel discussion between Tenae and several current members of the Starlight Coven, sharing their experiences of bringing magick into their daily lives and truly embodying their most magickal selves.
In this discussion, we talked about bringing magick into your mundane activities and responsibilities, how to have a morning ritual that actually works for you, the many different ways that a magickal life can look and feel, how astrology and the seasons have helped each of these amazing witches embrace themselves more fully, and much more.
The panelists in this discussion have vastly different backgrounds, lives, and perspectives to share, which made this such a special conversation. Lara is an Ayurvedic coach and yoga teacher in Georgia with a Capricorn Sun, Leo Moon and Scorpio Rising. Jade is a wedding, portrait, and boudoir photographer in Oregon with a Scorpio Sun, Virgo Moon, and Sagittarius Rising. Grecia is a chemical engineer in Texas with a Virgo Sun, Scorpio Moon, and Scorpio Rising.

We also talked about the Starlight Coven and how being a part of this seasonal sacred circle has helped each of these witches understand their astrological charts more deeply, accept and love themselves, to practice shadow work and heal witch wounds, and much more.

In this episode, we are talking all about the meaning of Samhain, the ancient Celtic precursor to our modern Halloween, and a favorite festival of many witches!
Samhain is the most magickal day of the year, when the veil between worlds is said to be at its thinnest. That means that the barrier between our physical, human world and the spirit realm becomes very thin - so thin that spirits and the dead can pass into our world to walk among us. That includes deceased loved ones and mischievous or evil spirits alike, so it is common both to honor our ancestors with altars and to do protection spells at this time of year.
Many of your favorite Halloween decorations are actually pagan Samhain symbols, including jack o'lanterns. The ancient Celts carved faces into root vegetables to protect their homes on Samhain; when colonizers came to North America, they discovered that pumpkins worked even better for this purpose.
In the northern hemisphere, Samhain always takes place during Scorpio season. It also occurs within a few weeks of the new moon in Scorpio and the full moon in Taurus, activating this axis of life and death, of pleasure and darkness. At the opposite end of the year, Beltane occurs during Taurus season. In the southern hemisphere, these are reversed, but Samhain and Beltane always activate this Taurus-Scorpio axis.
In 2022, this axis is even more potently activated, as the new and full moons near Samhain will also be eclipses.
Persephone, the goddess of vegetation and Queen of the Underworld from Greek mythology, is also often honored at Samhain, as this is the time of year when she is said to descend into the underworld to be with her husband. It's traditional to eat six pomegranate seeds in honor of Persephone's six months in the underworld. Click here to listen to my ultimate guide to Beltane episode, where I talk more about Persephone.

She is also a member of the Lunar Mysteries Collective, my radically new kind of mastermind for spiritual business owners.
Lara and I are talking all about how you can change your mind, body and spirit practices and rituals with the seasons. Altering your rituals and practices with the seasons can help reinvigorate and inspire your magick and help them better support your overall wellbeing.
Lara shares her insight on the five elements of ayurveda and tangible ways you can shift your practices from summer into fall and create balance in your life and practice all year long.

In this episode, we are talking all about the meaning of the autumn equinox, also known as Mabon, named for a Welsh god!
The autumn equinox is one of the two days of the year when day and night are equal and balanced. In the northern hemisphere, the autumnal equinox occurs in September, when the sun enters Libra. The autumn equinox is the second harvest festival in the Wheel of the Year.
It also occurs within a few weeks of the new moon in Libra and the full moon in Aries, (often the harvest moon), activating this axis of self and other, the balance of relying on and loving ourselves versus giving love to those around us.
At the opposite end of the year, the spring equinox occurs during Aries season. In the southern hemisphere, these are reversed, but the equinoxes always activate this Aries-Libra axis.
Listen to learn all about the history, themes and symbolism, and astrology of this festival and autumn equinox celebration ideas to try at home. I’m also talking about gratitude practices, which are a great way to celebrate autumn, to honor the passage of time, and to have an equal energy exchange with the universe in order to manifest all your desires.

In this episode, we are talking all about the meaning of Lammas, also known as Lughnasadh! Lammas actually just means loaf mass and Lughnasadh is named for the Welsh god Lugh.
Lammas is the first harvest festival and occurs on August 1st each year in the northern hemisphere, marking the halfway point between the summer solstice and the autumn equinox. (In the southern hemisphere, it occurs on February 1 each year.) It celebrates the grain harvest and first fruits and veggies of the year. It is also a harbinger that we are over halfway through summer and fall is on its way. It's traditionally celebrated by baking bread from wheat or corn, but there are many ways to celebrate this sacred day of abundance.
Lammas occurs when the sun is in Leo each year. It also occurs within a few weeks of the new moon in Leo and the full moon in Aquarius, activating this axis of individuality within the collective and of how our creativity serves the greater good.
At the opposite end of the year, the festival of Imbolc occurs during Aquarius season. In the southern hemisphere, these are reversed, but Lammas and Imbolc always activate this Leo-Aquarius axis.
Listen to learn all about the history, themes and symbolism, and astrology of this festival and how to celebrate Lammas. I'm also talking about how to manifest at this time in your own real, modern life.

In this episode, we are talking all about the meaning of the summer solstice!
This is the longest day of the year, also known as Litha and Midsummer, and occurs around June 20 each year in the northern hemisphere. (In the southern hemisphere, it occurs around December 20 each year.) This is the sun at the peak of its power, the day of the year with the most light hours. After this, the days start to get shorter and the nights grow longer once more, but for this sacred day, time seems to stand still.
The summer solstice occurs when the sun reaches 0 degrees of Cancer. It also occurs within a few weeks of the new moon in Cancer and the full moon in Capricorn, activating this axis of rest and work, intuitive self-care and sustainable, grounded action.
At the opposite end of the year, the winter solstice occurs when the sun reaches 0 degrees of Capricorn. In the southern hemisphere, these are reversed, but the solstices always activate this Cancer-Capricorn access.
Listen to learn all about the history, themes and symbolism, and astrology of the summer solstice and how to celebrate in your own real, modern life.

In this episode, I'm chatting with Sarah Chappell, a holistic business coach on a mission to help folks craft lives of self-care and service.

In this episode, I'm chatting with Michele Ogston, an intuitive empowerment coach and mindfulness and meditation teacher. Michele works with the empath community and we had a great conversation about what is intuition, how it speaks through us, and the power, (and division), that labels like "witch" and "empath" can create. This episode was recorded live in our free Facebook group, Empowered Modern Witches. You can reach out to Michele for more info on her work at michele@cloud9coaching.com
In this episode, I'm sharing some Moon Phases 101 and seven situations where you are definitely going to want to know what's up with the moon! The moon has a profound impact on our emotions and intuition and having an awareness of what's happening energetically with the moon can be powerful information to have. There are four basic moon phases:
The new moon, for setting intentions The waxing moon, for taking action The full moon, for celebrating and having gratitude The waning moon, for releasing
The moon also moves through the twelve signs of the zodiac each month, each of which carries a particular energetic signature, and it activates each house of your own astrological chart every month as well! These are potent and nuanced layers of information to be aware of, especially when you're feeling moody, emotional, out of sorts, or uninspired, when you're struggling to understand those around you or getting in arguments with close loved ones, or even when you're making magickal or mundane plans and manifestations. Come share in our free Facebook group, Empowered Modern Witches, what came up for you in this episode and how you're bringing more awareness of lunar astrology and the moon phases into your day-to-day life!
The week of the summer solstice in June 2021, I'm hosting a Moon Phases Bootcamp for members of the Starlight Coven!

Have you ever wanted to work with a goddess or connect with a matron deity for wisdom, guidance, and support? To be honest, I never really did and never really worked with goddesses in my own practice until I discovered that the asteroid, Diana, is exactly conjunct my moon! There are hundreds, (maybe thousands), of asteroids named after goddesses that are Greek, Roman, Norse, Celtic, Germanic, Sumerian, Egyptian, Chinese, Japanese, Aztec, Inuit, and probably other cultures too! Finding goddess asteroids in your chart, especially those that are very close to your sun, moon, or personal planets, is a powerful way to discover goddesses who might be open to working with you - and in fact, who may have even been calling out to work with you since you were born. In this episode, I'm diving into how to explore the spectrum of the divine feminine in your own birth chart and in your own being, how to find goddess asteroids in your chart, and what they can mean for you.
To find goddess asteroids in your chart, go to www.astro.com and enter your birth information. Then click on Extended Chart Selection, scroll down to the bottom, and enter the asteroid codes you want to see into the "Additional Objects" dialogue box or choose them from the alphabetical listing. Here are the asteroid codes for some popular goddesses you might want to find in your chart:
1 - Ceres 2 - Pallas 3 - Juno 4 - Vesta / 34 - Hestia 10 - Hygiea 14 - Psyche 16 - Fortuna 19 - Proserpina / 399 - Persephone 33 - Isis 76 - Freia 78 - Diana / 105 - Artemis 100 - Hekate 318 - Magdalena 580 - Selene 4227 - Kaali 5381 - Sekhmet 7088 - Ishtar

In this episode, I'm chatting with Lurie Kimmerle about the divine feminine and how it appears in different religious and spiritual traditions, including both witchcraft and Christianity.

Lurie is a spiritual life coach who focuses her programs on feminist theology and erotic spirituality, supporting women on their journeys towards full and outrageous lives. She is currently in the process of launching the Feminist School of Theology a place to explore the rich history, wisdom and spirituality of our ancient mothers, and knowledge of women today.

In fact, there are monuments all over the world that align with the sun on this day! Listen to the episode to get an in-depth overview of how you can celebrate the spring equinox in your own life and what the energy of this day is all about. Then, go further with these resources:

In today's episode, we are busting all kinds of myths about the many different ways you can supposedly practice moon rituals wrong.... the truth is, you can't make any mistakes in your own practice! Here are a few you might have heard around the internet which are NOT TRUE: 1. You can only practice your new or full moon rituals on the exact day of the phase. 2. You have to celebrate all 8 (or even 9) of the moon phases in great detail. 3. You can't let the sun touch your moonwater and charging crystals or the effects of the moonlight will be ruined. 4. You have to make moonwater and charge your crystals every full moon. 5. You have to cast a circle and call the elements or four quarters to start your moon rituals. 6. You can't practice a moon ritual or charge your crystals if it's cloudy out and you can't see the moon. Honestly, all of these are nonsense. You can practice whenever, however, and in whatever ways feel right to you! The only actual rule with the moon phases is that you need to tune into your intuition to discover what feels right, supportive, and nurturing for you personally. Just for good measure, though, here is one actual mistake I do hear people make frequently: the energy of the full moon is for celebration and amplification, not for banishing or release, (which is actually what the waning moon, the full two weeks that follows the full moon, is all about!) But even with this one, if it feels good and right to you to release at the full moon, then trust yourself.

Happy 2021! We are diving back in with a big, juicy episode to help you explore your chart and get realigned with your truth in the new year. Here are 8 signs you're not living in alignment with your astrological chart - which is literally a map of the stars at the moment you were born and metaphorically a map to your higher self and purpose - and how to fix it:
You struggle to find your joy. Solution? Look to your sun sign and house. You feel pressured to express (or repress) your emotions in a way that feels unnatural. Solution? Look to your moon sign and house. You feel like you're on an emotional rollercoaster all the time. Solution? Track the moon signs and which houses they activate in your chart each month. Changes are whirling at you and you never see them coming. Solution? Pay attention to the big transits, especially of Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, Pluto and the North Node. Your life feels aimless, you can't seem to find your purpose and you're just lost. Solution? Look to your North Node sign and house. You know you're drawn to witchcraft but struggle to know what path or practices are right for you. Solution? Check out what sign is in your 8th house but also your sun sign and house - remember, find the joy. The moon phases seem "off" for you, like you're energized when you're "supposed" to be drained or vice versa. Solution? Check out your natal moon phase. You're dealing with burn out, overwhelm, and feel unnourished. Solution? Check out what sign you have in the 4th house, as well as your moon sign and house.

It can be tough to feel connected to nature during the cold, dark days of winter but for many witches, feeling connected to nature is an essential part of our practices. So what's a witch to do? Luckily, Sagittarius season is here to help. This mutable fire sign is all about bringing light to the darkness and honoring the wisdom of nature. Bringing nature into your home or working with herbalism are great options for connecting with nature during even the darkest days.

Embodying your inner witch is about committing to your ideal witchy lifestyle. When your daily life is grounded in magick, you get to have mystical experiences every single day, no matter what you're doing. If you were embodying your inner witch in your real life right now, what would you be doing? How would you feel? Achieving that vision in your own reality requires you to follow your intuition and really trust yourself to know what's right for you, to prioritize your magick as much as you prioritize anything else you need to do in your life, (stop choosing laundry over witchcraft - they're both important!), and to find a supportive community that can help you hold yourself accountable. But what does it actually look like to embody your inner witch every day? Here are five ways that work for me: 1. My morning ritual - start the day off with witchcraft! I check the moon phase, sign, and which house it's activating in my chart, pull an oracle card and journal on it and write down 5 things I'm grateful for. 2. Tea - I choose a particular tea blend to drink for the day inspired by the season and the moon phase. 3. Magickal workday - light a candle or diffuse oils at your desk, use crystals to clear the energy of your office, or incorporate magick into your workday, no matter what you do for a living 4. Seasonal checklist - I like to make a list at the beginning of each season of witchy and otherwise fun things I want to do. This is inspired by my friend Alexis' seasonal "might-do lists!" 5. Accountability - check in with my people, whether that's my besties in our lowkey coven, my spiritual business mastermind, or the wonderful people in the circles and memberships I lead myself
If you're ready to embody YOUR inner witch and commit to your ideal witchy lifestyle, then The Embodied Witch Inner Circle is for you! The Inner Circle includes: 💜 Full access to my monthly membership, The Starlight Coven, (which includes workshops, sabbat rituals, digital magazines, a private Facebook group and more) 💜 Moonlight Tea Time Gatherings - full moon rituals on Zoom, led by my witchy friends and colleagues 💜 Co-Witching Accountability Sessions - interactive gatherings on Zoom to help you prioritize your practice 💜 Private Group Voxer Chat - basically a text chain with your witchy besties! 💜 Monthly Gift Box - magickal tools and seasonal self-care items shipped to you every month Click here to join today!
Witchcraft and self-care both have deep roots in ancient, ancestral wisdom and modern, feminist movements. Yet, both have become associated with trendy, consumerist culture as well. Let's fight the patriarchy together and reclaim the true meaning of witchcraft and self-care by creating sacred rituals that nurture our minds, bodies, and intuition! In this episode, I'm sharing five tips from my upcoming book, The Modern Witch's Guide to Magickal Self-Care, which will be out in October 2020: 1. Get curious about what really resonates with you. 2. Check out where the moon is in your astrological chart for self-care inspiration, as well as what your sun, rising, and Ceres signs are. 3. Start and end the day with morning and evening self-care rituals. 4. Allow space for your rituals to adapt and evolve as you do. 5. Think of your rituals in categories, what I like to call the 5 Pillars of Divinity.
I'll be speaking more on what the 5 Pillars of Divinity are and how you can use them to nurture your inner witch during The Empowered Modern Witches Summit from September 21-25, 2020.

Ever struggle to be consistent in your rituals, whether you want to do them daily, for the new or full moons, or even just seasonally? As we head into Virgo season this week, let’s talk about how you can turn that around and create rituals that are not only fun and fulfilling but that you both WANT to do and will ACTUALLY do. We'll go over my four cardinal tips for greater consistency: 1. Know thyself – before you can create any rituals, you have to know what you want and what you need 2. Make your rituals a priority by scheduling time for them 3. Have a plan and know what it is you’re going to do, what you need, how much time you need, etc 4. Have several rituals to choose from for when you don't have time and so you don't feel to constrained Are you interested in having a private mentor to help you discover your inner witch, create consistent rituals that you actually want to do every day, and go from stuck to spellbound in your spiritual practice, fill out this application so we can discuss how I can support you!
It can be difficult sometimes to connect with the eight pagan sabbats that make up the Wheel of the Year, as they are rooted in ancient Celtic agricultural festivals that don't really have a lot of bearing on our 21st century lives. But the three harvest festivals of Lammas, the Autumn Equinox, and Samhain in August, September, and October usher in most witches' favorite season: fall! These three festivals are about celebrating the abundance of the harvest - both agriculturally and metaphorically. It's a beautiful time for reflection, gathering, gratitude, shadow work, and celebration. Catch my tips for celebrating these three festivals in the 21st century, then come and share how you're celebrating them in my free Facebook group for Empowered Modern Witches!

Witchcraft is a sacred journey of exploring your spirituality, transmuting your shadows into strengths, and empowering the oppressed. But it's not all serious all the time - being a witch is actually super fun too! Your practice should include things that bring you joy. Rituals should feel fun and fulfilling. Nothing should ever feel like an obligation or pointless to you. No, we don't always feel like doing our rituals and shadow work is never going to be fun - but there is a balance to be struck. For one thing, all the fun seasonal things you do like going to the beach in summer and carving pumpkins in the fall can actually be part of your spiritual practice. Things that are fun for me include the whole process of planning, planting, harvesting and working with my herbs, (makes me feel like Claire from Outlander), travel, genealogy research, and just curling up at home with a cozy meal and a glass of wine. These might not sound particularly spiritual and yet, I connect with nature by working in my garden, I use my herbs to make delicious, magickal tea blends, I've taken pilgrimages to ancestral spots which were deeply spiritual experiences, and this cottage witch finds food and wine to be downright transcendent... Not everything in your spiritual practice has to look super witchy in order to be fulfilling! But I found that I didn't always know what I found fun or what brought me joy. Luckily, my astrological chart had tons of insight for me. The sun rules joy and inspiration, as well as the sign of Leo and the 5th house. Look up where these are in your chart to get some insight into how you can have more fun as a witch, (and in the rest of your life too!)
This month in the Starlight Coven, we're learning all about Leo season and how to find the joy in your spiritual practice.

Self-care are the actions we take to nurture our spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional needs. Seasonal self-care is a practice that nurtures our needs in alignment with the cycles of nature - the seasons, moon phases, and movement of the planets. Seasonal self-care rituals reconnect us with the ancient rhythms we've been exiled from, thanks to electric lights, indoor air conditioning, and an intentional break from the ways of our ancestors. Seasonal self-care means tapping into the energy around you and within you so that you can flow with everything in its natural time, instead of fighting against nature. It is so much easier to create what we desire when we're aligned with the right season and time for creation, instead of trying to create during a period of rest and release, for example! In fact, constantly trying to create out of sync with nature leads to burnout and exhaustion - and not a lot of results.

Cultural appropriation is a rampant problem in the spiritual and witchcraft community and it's time for us to speak up and take action to choose a better path. Cultural appropriation is the act of stealing ideas, traditions, practices, and objects without giving any attribution to people indigenous to that culture. It happens all the time in our community, as many "new age" practices are rooted in especially Native American and Asian traditions. We can choose to do better by:
Buying and learning from indigenous peoples Reclaiming the lineage of magick in our own ancestral cultures Amplifying the voices of witches of color (share their work, buy their stuff!) Knowing when it's time to speak up and act versus when it's time to listen and be still
I'm claiming the importance of this work and standing for what I believe to be our responsibility as witches. We exist at the intersection of magick and justice, (credit to one of my mentors, Lauren Elizabeth for that concept). It's our duty to use our voices and our privilege to transform this world and our own practices into one that honors and seeks out complexity. Join the FREE Facebook group, where I'm sharing new, revised guidelines this week, all about centering justice and nurturing safety.
Keeping your practice simple is more essential than ever, so it can support you during this time of quarantine, social distancing, stress, and uncertainty, instead of contributing to overwhelm. Though quarantine has been a time of rest for some, it's stressful regardless of whether you are working or not, homeschooling kids, or simply trying to maintain your mental health while living alone. Even seasonal schedule changes can be enough to throw off your spiritual and self-care practice, so this massive upheaval is a whole other beast! But this week is the full moon in Scorpio and it's the perfect opportunity to prioritize self-care and time for yourself, especially in terms of your spiritual and magickal practice. The full moon in Scorpio always happens during Taurus season, as Scorpio and Taurus are naturally opposites. Scorpio is deep, dark, shadowy magick and Taurus is simple, consistent, pleasurable ease. We need both in order to have balance in our practices! It's easier to commit to a practice, even a mystical, magickal one, when that practice is simple. Use the energy of this powerful full moon to commit to allowing your practice to be simple, magickal, and flexible with your current lifestyle - whatever that may look like. Join the FREE Facebook group, Empowered Modern Witches, and share with us how you'll be celebrating the full moon in Scorpio this week!
In today's episode, we're talking all about how you can create consistency in your life by honoring the inconsistency of nature with seasonal rituals. Nature is always evolving and changing, but returns to the same spaces and energies each season, year after year. We celebrate these energetic returns with the eight pagan sabbats. Two of the most important of these are Beltane on May 1 and Samhain on October 31 in the Northern Hemisphere, (reversed in the Southern Hemisphere.) Beltane is the witches' celebration of life - when the earth laughs in flowers. Samhain is the witches' new year and celebration of death - when Persephone descends into the Underworld once more, to be crowned queen. These energies of life and death are both equally essential to the life cycle, to witchcraft, and to your own energy. Practicing seasonal rituals to mark the sabbats is an excellent way to check in with your own energy and ask how you can adapt your practices. Our energy shifts and evolves throughout the seasons which is why it's simply not realistic to expect yourself to be able to show up in the same exact way every day of the year. However, if you can adapt your rituals to support your unique needs throughout the seasons, (whether those are daily rituals, moon, seasonal, or otherwise), then you make space for consistency within the ever-evolving cycle of your real, daily life. In this episode, you'll find ideas for celebrating Beltane with a maypole, gardening, connecting with the fae, and literally stopping to smell the roses and celebrating Samhain with visits to a pumpkin patch, pumpkin carving, or a traditional Dumb Supper. I'm sharing some of my own favorite memories of these seasons and how those experiences help me tap into my own energy and create consistent spiritual practices to support myself!
In today's episode, we're exploring the difference between "collective" and "sovereign" energies and how you can work with them to make your practice feel more intentional. The collective energies of the universe are basically the cycles of the moon, sun, and planets, (or the moon phases, seasons, and astrology):
There are four moon phases, (new, waxing, full, and waning). The moon moves through all twelve astrological signs in one month. There are four seasons which we experience based on the movement of the sun through the astrological signs over one year, (spring, summer, fall, and winter). There are eight seasonal sabbat celebrations, (Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Lammas, Mabon, Samhain, Yule, and Imbolc). The planets all move through the twelve astrological signs at different speeds.
These cycles impact us all collectively - everyone experiences them. The sovereign energies are simply how those cycles impact YOU in your real, daily life. To learn more about how those cycles impact you, you'll want to find out:
Which moon phase you were born under so you can understand how you personally relate to the four phases Which house in your chart, (which area of your life), is activated by the moon in each sign How the seasons make you feel, (which you love, maybe which you dread) How the planets interact with the planets and houses in your own astrological chart
When you work with these sovereign energies, you can make your moon, sabbat, and daily rituals and all aspects of your practice feel way more personal, intentional and fulfilling! This is just a brief overview - I'll be getting deeper into each of these cycles in future podcast episodes! If you want more right away though, I'd like to invite you to join me in the Starlight Coven, a monthly program to learn my simple method for working with collective and sovereign energies.

In today's episode, I'm getting into exactly how the moon phases actually impact you personally and how to work with them in your real, daily life. It's so important that we not just treat all of the systems and cycles that we use as witches like mere knowledge - facts and trivia to be learned by rote. Rather, the cycles of the seasons and the stars, (the seasons, moon phases and astrology), are sacred, universal rhythms that impact you on a deep, personal level every day. Just learning what each of the phases of the moon or each season means is pretty much useless to you - But learning what those phases and seasons actually mean to you personally, how they show up in your life, and impact your moods, energy, and magick? Now that's powerful. Today, we're talking about the four basic phases of the moon and the twelve moon signs. You'll learn about your natal moon phase and about how the moon sign impacts you every single day! The Starlight Coven is perfect for you if you've been craving community, guidance and support as you create your own path as a witch - a path with no rules! This monthly program is a sacred, intimate space for like-minded modern witches to gather, support one another, and learn together. You'll learn how the moon, the sun, and all of the planets impact you personally - no more overwhelm or feeling like you need to learn all the things. Instead, you get to focus on what truly matters to you and how all of this information applies to your real, daily life. Join the Starlight Coven today - just $49.95 per month, no obligation.
Cultures all over the world have worked with the sun, moon, and stars. There are systems of astrology from the Middle East, China, India, Britain, and more.

Though we live in wildly modern times with crazy new technology, we actually experience many of the same daily rhythms that our ancient ancestors did: we cook food, we make love, we look up at the moon. You have the power and ability to reclaim the power of those simple systems in your real, daily life, (yes, even in quarantine!) Join us in the Starlight Coven for just $49.95 per month to get support and guidance in reclaiming potent simplicity in your spiritual practice and learning my super simple method for working with astrology, the seasons, and the moon.
