Hi Witches

Join me on todays episode for a deep dive into the dumb or silent supper held at Samhain and how and why you might wish to host your own. We also look at the sacred herb tobacco, often used as an ancestor offering especially at Samhain and Wormwood used to make absinthe. We look at how and why you might wish to work with each herb in your craft.

Hi Witches

This is possibly one of my favourite interviewees on the podcast and in my humble opinion one of the most important topics to delve into!

Neesheta talks us through her role as a death doula and ultimately the topic of death.

Neesheta carries the role of Oracle, Death Doula, and Movement Witch. She grew up with both sides of her family practicing magic, and many of these practices built the foundation for her magic today. She is also a Hekatean initiate and graduate of The Covina Institute under Dr. Cyndi Brannen, where she also serves as the Institute’s Seasonal Movement Guide. Neesheta is also a retired cultural and aerial dance studio owner with over 14 years’ experience teaching various dance styles including cultural, aerial, sensual, and esoteric movements. She believes that her experiences and her studies in Anthropology and End Of Life Planning have helped blend cultures and traditions into her teaching, dance, magical and mindfulness practices, and in helping others prepare to live the life, they desire, before their earthly death.

I must of course issue a trigger warning with this episode but I hope it will bring you some comfort too!

Hi Witches

Join me for a chat with our Witch Next Door Sarah, we talk magick in the mundane, deities, religion vs spirituality, successful spell work and witchy reads

Sarah's banishing illness spell -

Banishing Oil- olive oil infused with Star Anise and Cinnamon Banishing Incense- frankincense, myrrh. Rosemary, lavender, rose petals

Black chime candle, black tourmaline, clear quartz amethyst

Annoint the candle with the oil and light both candle and incense. Concentrate on removing affliction while reciting:

"As this candle burns, So the illness turns, Melted like this wax Cut like with an axe, Remove and banished, All disabilities vanished, As my word you see, Radiant health blessed be!"

Recite at least 3x. Let the candle burn until done and bury the remaining wax with the ashes of the incense.
