Merry meet, and welcome to Desert Magick. I’m your host, Crow Moon. I’m a Wiccan priest, and I am the founder of the Corvidae Circle Wiccan Tradition. This show will be an extension of my teaching, but also a sacred space for everyone who is walking a Wiccan/Pagan path. Join me here as we explore a wide range of topics of interest to Wiccans, Pagans, and witches.

Many people are surprised when they discover that the nice person they know is actually a practitioner of witchcraft. In this episode, I share a few of my thoughts about this—as well as some reasons why those of us who follow the Craft should find that there are an abundance of reasons for us to be nice.

Perhaps the most magickal time in the Arizona desert is monsoon season. During this time, we see the power of nature quite vividly and are able to more easily attune to the magick that is all around us. Join me on a journey through the monsoons from a spiritual perspective.
