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.

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 also touched on the powerful history of astrology and astroherbalism, dating back to Babylonian astrologers and physicians.

| S4 E17: How to work with astrology through plants and crystals | 24 Apr 2023 | 00:23:52 | |
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.

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.

| S4 E16: Astrology 101: Understanding the planets and transits | 10 Apr 2023 | 00:38:44 | |
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. Want to learn even more about astrology with me?

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.

| S4 E11: Astrology 101: How to read your birth chart and why it matters | 30 Jan 2023 | 00:35:06 | |
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!

| S4 E9: The ultimate guide to Imbolc | 09 Jan 2023 | 00:20:03 | |
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.

| S4 E8: The Ultimate Guide to the Winter Solstice | 02 Dec 2022 | 00:24:39 | |
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.

| S5 E13: Magical destinations with Kara Harms | 20 May 2024 | 00:29:50 | |
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!

| S4 E5: How to Live Your Most Magickal Life | 06 Oct 2022 | 01:10:54 | |
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. Connect with the panelists on Instagram: Lara Spell-Worsham: @intentionallara Jade Hincks: @invokeboudoir Grecia Williamson: @g.m_williamson 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.

| S4 E4: The Ultimate Guide to Samhain | 29 Sep 2022 | 00:28:30 | |
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.

| S4 E1: The Ultimate Guide to the Autumn Equinox | 31 Aug 2022 | 00:28:51 | |
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.

| S3 E10: The Ultimate Guide to Lammas | 11 Jul 2022 | 00:38:48 | |
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.

| S3 E9: The Ultimate Guide to the Summer Solstice | 10 Jun 2022 | 00:36:35 | |
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.

| Ep. 31: Creating a truly holistic business with Sarah M. Chappell | 05 Jul 2021 | 00:51:37 | |
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.
A decade of addiction and a lifetime of anxiety and depression led Sarah to discover tarot as a tool for self-care. Embracing a spiritual practice cracked open massive shifts in her experience of the world, and underpins all of the work she offers today.
Sarah has over fifteen years of sales, marketing, and communications experience and is delighted to have supported hundreds of herbalists, astrologers, artists, tarot readers, therapists, acupuncturists, witches, healers, social workers, makers, and more through her courses, coaching, mentorship, and private practice.
Sarah has been featured on USA Today, Cosmopolitan, Well+Good, Healthline, and The Temper, amongst others, and is the host of the iTunes Top 20 Spirituality podcast So You Wanna Be A Witch.
When not offering what has been called “*so* good and *so* ouchie” transformational support to her students and clients, Sarah hangs out with her dog and partner, tries to remember she loves knitting so she’ll actually do it, and reads. A lot.

| Ep. 29: 7 situations when you'll want to know what's up with the moon | 03 Jun 2021 | 00:41:29 | |
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!

| Ep. 26: 3 ways to use asteroids + astrology to connect with a goddess | 17 May 2021 | 00:35:26 | |
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.
