Witchcraft From A to Z – Details, episodes & analysis

Welcome Witches to Witchcraft from A to Z, your go-to witchy podcast for finding the magic hidden among the mundane! My name is Elaine Evergreen, a practicing witch of over 15 years now and I'll be your host this week. I hope you all had a beautiful and cozy Yule and that your New Year has started off auspiciously. Thank you all for your continued support while I took a little break to relax after my wedding, celebrate my birthday, and enjoy the holiday festivities with my family and loved ones.

Now that I’m back from my little holiday hiatus, lets talk about stars and using them in your magical practice.

The stars have guided humans of all cultures throughout their time on earth. We’ve all heard people joke about mercury being in retrograde and it negatively impacting our lives. But the stars can do more than that. Some believe that the stars can tell you about your future, predict the personality of a child, predict the rule or end of the reign of kings and queens, and it can tell you where you are in the world. Sometimes they fall, granting you wishes if you’re so lucky to see it. So this week's episode is all about how you can use stars in your magical practice.

This week's episode is all about rice. Rice is perfect for a lot of great stuff right? It’s the ultimate food for an upset and sensitive stomach, very healing and comforting. Plus its inexpensive and incredibly accessible as one of, if not the, world’s most eaten foods. You can even find little rice spells used by the everyday person. Think rice tossed towards couples who just got married for blessing of fertility and prosperity.

This episode is all about hemp and how you can incorporate this multipurpose tool into your magical practice!

Hemp, part of the cannabis family, is a tool that has been used in society for centuries both medicinally and practically. From clothes, yarn, string, rope, paper, medicine, food, candle wicks, and oils hemp is a fantastic multipurpose plant. And though in the United States, laws surrounding hemp have been unfavorable for a while, they have in recent history started to loosen in several states bringing about the reintroduction of hemp in societies’ tool box and in our own.

Welcome Witches to Witchcraft from A to Z, your go-to witchy podcast for finding the magic hidden among the mundane! My name is Elaine Evergreen, a practicing witch of over 15 years now and I'll be your host this week. This episode is all about crystals and how you can incorporate this sparkly tool into your magical practice!

One thing I love about using crystals in my practice, other than the obvious beauty of them, is the plethora of uses that crystals have in any magical practice. Crystals have been used for healing, divination, siphoning, charm work, spell bags, talismans, and more. Another is that there are so many different crystals on this planet that you can always find one that works best with you and with your practice.

This episode is all about bells and how you can incorporate this musical tool into your magical practice!

Tiny and decorative, hung on doors, or ringing atop a church, bells can do more than call you in for dinner or let you know someone has entered a shop. Originally made of iron, bells have been used all throughout history for both mundane and magical reasons.
