The Empowered Modern Witches Show – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In the season finale, I am discussing green witchcraft, herbalism, and natural magic to celebrate my newest book, Botanical Cocktails. The book includes 50 garden-to-glass cocktail recipes for every season - and a mocktail variation for every single recipe! It's an excellent seasonal companion to my second book, The Modern Witch's Guide to Natural Magick.

I wanted to focus in this episode on the importance of feeling connected to nature and how working with plants can be a more grounded way to approach the seasons, but also the cosmic cycles of the moon and astrology.

We cover different types of green witchery, practical ways to work with plants in your real life, and how to understand magickal correspondences of plants through the elements.

Episode Chapters:

00:00 Introduction to Green Witchcraft and Herbalism, including different approaches to this path

07:12 Practical Ways to Work with Plants through tea, essential oils, cocktails, spirit guides, and more

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 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:

1. Nourish your intuition
2. Get to know your astrology chart
3. Practice shadow work (click here to listen to our shadow work episode)
4. Honor the seasons and cycles of the sun
5. Flow with the cycles of the moon
6. Work with the cycles of the planets and astrology
7. Discover the pillars of your spirituality
8. Create your rituals
9. 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!

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.)

Welcome to season 5 of The Empowered Modern Witches Show! Thank you for being a listener, whether you are brand new to the podcast or have been listening for years.

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:

• My working definition of shadows and shadow work - the process of becoming aware of a shadow, acknowledging it, and working to understand it
• 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!  The summit is taking place online September 18-22, 2023 and it is completely free to attend!

In the season finale of season four of The Empowered Modern Witches Show, I'm giving you a super high level overview of what the moon phases are and how to work with them. We're covering:

• The four main moon phases (new moon, waxing moon/first quarter moon, full moon, waning moon/last quarter moon)
• How to break the lunar cycle down further into eight moon phases or even nine, including crescent moons, gibbous moons, and the dark moon
• The energy of each moon phase and how to use it for manifestation, self-care, or magick
• What are blue moons (two full moons in a row in the same sign) and black moons (two new moons in a row in the same sign)
• What are solar eclipses and lunar eclipses and how often do they occur
• Your natal moon sign, house, and phase
• Working with your lunar return, when the moon returns to the sign it was in when you were born each month

We are covering a lot of ground and the most essential things to know about moon phases and lunar astrology! Thanks for listening all season - we'll be back in early fall for season 5.

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.
