Sage and Sol

Are you a new witch or thinking about becoming one? Today we are going to talk about some things we wish we knew before becoming a witch. 1. The power of intention. Wayne w Dyer said. "You create your thoughts, your thoughts create your intentions, and your intentions create your reality." Your intentions are the foundation of your reality so it's important to be clear about the desires you are projecting that you want to experience. When you understand and are aware of the power of intention you can begin creating the world that you desire to experience. If you are confused on how to set your intentions; it's a very simple process: state what you desire and act on it in any way you can. Remind yourself of your intention repeatedly; writing it down or creating a vision board are both powerful tools to help you constantly be reminded of your desires. Q. What past intentions are you currently living and how did you ensure its manifestation?2. Nothing is good or badI wish I would have understood that nothing is good and nothing is bad. Everything just is. When we make a judgment of something is when we put the label of good or bad, righteous or evil, Holy or unholy. All of these are just perceptions based on the life you live, the community you are a part of and what you have learned from family and friends. Q. Have you ever done something that was considered bad to someone but good to you or vice versa?3. Words are spellsGrowing up I didn't realize the power behind my words and thoughts. Words are powerful and we have the ability to speak the reality we want. Not only do we have this ability, we practice it all the time. If you look around you can find evidence of things and situations you've spoken into existence. Having awareness of how powerful your words gives you the opportunity to speak life into your trust desires. Q. What have you spoken into existence before you understood the power of your words? 4. How you practice is personalNot every witch is the same and there is no correct way to practice witchcraft. The correct way is your way and anyone who tells you differently is taking away your power. Trust yourself, you have the answers within. There are many resources and people who are great mentors but even the greatest mentor will tell you the power is within you, trust yourself and move accordingly. Q. How do you practice your craft?5. There are many types of witches6. Trusting yourselfTrusting yourself is the key to being a Witch. Trust is where your power comes from. There is a verse in the bible that says if you have the faith of a mustard seed you can move mountains meaning if you have faith and trust in yourself you have the power to face any obstacle. Q. Do you fully trust yourself? Why or why not?7. How to take back your own powerThe best way to take back your power is to trust yourself first and listen to your intuition. In life we give our power to so many people because we believe they are better than us in some way. This could be your parents, teachers, bosses, and friends. Q. How do you take back your power?8. The secret to manifestation.Is there a secret to manifestation?A lot of people don't understand the process of manifestation but it's really simple. Faith+Works=Manifestation but there are some secrets that every practitioner uses that makes their manifestations happen faster. Sage and I will share a secret or 2 that we use when manifesting. 

What is ascension?Ascension is simply a shift in consciousness. There are different levels of consciousness, but today we will discuss the 3d, 4d and 5d levels of consciousness. 3d- This physical plane that you are experiencing this podcast at right now. In the 3d you experience duality, all emotions. You are able to work through karmic debt and evolve your consciousness. The 3d is the place where lessons are learned and life is lived. 4d- isnt talked about much; as it is the transitioning dimension. It is where out of body experiences happen such as astral projection, remote viewing, lucid dreaming, and shifting takes place. In the 4d; you have 1 foot in the physical and one foot in the spiritual realm. 5d- is in the spiritual plan where oneness and the now resides. There is no judgment, only love and compassion.How to know you are living in the 5th dimension?You feel a sense of oneness with everyone and everythingYou will experience a sense of lightness and loveTime will no longer move like it use toSynrotinities will be revealed on a larger scaleManifestations will happen quicker and with easeYou will experience gratitude more consistently You will judge less and with more compassion and understanding

The Modern Witch Academy Patreon www.sage-sol.comIn the Book, the 4 agreements by don Miguel Ruiz, the 3rd agreements Focuses on not making assumptions. We make assumptions about everything, why people do what they do, why people say what they say and even how other people feel. But what gives us the right to think that we know everything? There’s an old saying that goes when you assume you make an “ass out of you and me” and I didn’t really understand that saying as a child. It was never explained to me that immune means to explain without proof. I thought people said that because of the way you spell assume. Assuming can cause so many unnecessary issues. But assuming isn’t always a negative thing. We assume for protection. For example, if you know that most mushrooms you know about that are poisonous have black gills, if you come across a mushroom you're unsure of but you see that it has black gills, its safe to assume its poisonous. Or if you are driving and notice the car in front of you is swerving, is safe to assume they are under the influence or sleepy based on your past experience, you can use the knowledge to avoid being near them.  Assuming for protection is smart but assuming for control, to fill in the blanks in your story, or to place blame is harmful, can ruin relations, and is the cause of so much suffering. 

3 signs that you take things way too personal are if you're easily offended you have a need to be rightif you're easily triggered6 Tips on How to not take things personally:Understand you can’t please everyoneKnow that your not defined by what others think or say about youUnderstand your self worthYou don’t need approval from anyoneYou are not responsible for others peoples emotionsUnderstand that not everything is about youHow to be a better communicator:Listen- not to respond but to understand.Assume the best intentions.Ask questions if you need clarifyingDon’t take it personal, even if they are talking about you When you stop taking things so personally you regain your power and confidence, you are able to move through difficult situations, and see life from a different perspective.

Your support is so appreciated!The power behind being a witch is being aware of your power and the magic that is created with your thoughts and words. Do you recognize that you have the ability to manifest with just the words you speak? In todays lesson you will get a deep understanding of how powerful the words you use truly are and how to be more aware when it comes to what you speak over others and yourself!"The word is the most powerful tool you have as a human: it is the tool of magic. But like a sword with 2 edges, your word can create the most beautiful dream or your word can destroy everything around you" This is quote from the book, the four agreements by don miguel ruizFor todays Podcast we will probably be refencing that book a few times as it was the inspiration for this podcast. James 3:3-6 NLTThe tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches. But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire. And among all the parts of the body, the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself.This is pretty much saying your words dictate your ability to live in hell or heaven just by your words.  It is said that Hell is separation from God, when you reject yourself, you separate from the god that is within you which causes you to experience suffering leading you deeper and deeper into your personal hell. What part of yourself do you reject? You can  also speak life into people! This comes in the form of motivation, encouragement, kindness, compliments. And a lot of time you can cancel a curse and replace it with a blessing. Challenge of the week, be aware of the blessings and curses you speak over those you love. When you see yourself about to speak a curse, stop. If you've realized you spoke a curse, apologies and replace it with a blessing.

It is the side of you that is joyful and happy, wild and free. Being true to who you are takes courage because it can cause fear to go against the norm. Being your authentic self causes you to stand out instead of fit in. We are people who crave and strive in social setting and because of that, we fear judgment or abandonment. So lets start by meeting your true authentic self. Start by asking yourself, "what brings me joy? For some people their most joy and happiness they experienced was as a child, if that’s the case with you, dive deeper and ask yourself what about that experience made you so happy? Who was around?

www.sage-sol.comWhich Type of Witch are you?13 Types of WitchesWitchcraft is an art and a spiritual practice. It’s the use of tapping into the energy that exist all around us and working with that energy with balance and appreciation in order to create change in your environment. It is also the practice of exerting your will to get what you want out of life. Witches are aware of their power and use it to create! By recognizing your own personal power you are able manifest the life you want to live.Misconceptions of witchesAll witches are women! This is FALSE! A witch is gender neutral, both men and women are can identify as a witch, remember it is intentions and actions that make a witch, not gender or sexuality.All witches are Satanist and worship the devil. FALSE With a long history of witches being tried and killed in the name of worshiping Satan, this myth runs deep. Its important to remind you that witches do not worship the devil and many don’t believe in the existence of hell. There is nothing satanic in witchcraft!Not all witches are wicca. FALSE Wicca is an organized neopagan religion that includes magical practices. Practicing witchcraft is expensive. FALSE This is not true! Before you spend that check on overpriced tools, first start with yourself, focus on growing your knowledge. The more you learn your path you'll notice that witchy tools are all around you: in your pantry, around your house and growing outside. Three types of witches that are pretty popular areThe Garden Witch practices witchery through the plants that they often grow themselves. They are masters at maintaining and growing all types of plants. They usually have a garden outside or plants throughout their home. They adore plants and feel the happiest in their presence. The Garden Witch can be found speaking with their plants, tending and nurturing them, or maybe serenading them with music. They treat their plants with care and love and may become sad or emotional when they see plants being destroyed or not taken care of properly. Plants are sacred to the Garden Witch, from the roots, the stems, the leaves, the flowers, and even any edible food they produce. Everything that a Garden Witch requires to create magick is located in their garden. A Kitchen Witch can be found cooking up meals, sipping on potions, or exploring new recipes. They cook with intention and stir up more than tasty meals and delicious treats. Their meals are filled with medicinal and magical ingredients.Their magical tools are their pots, pans, utensils and anything else that will aid them in creating alchemy with their meals. In their practice, they use food as their main source of magick. Each meal is infused with purpose, created with care, love and gratitude. They usually know a lot about herbs and other foods, such as vegetables, grains, fruits, and meats. The Eclectic Witch is usually practiced by a Solitary Witch. Their beliefs and practices are personal and unique to them. An Eclectic Witch does not follow a single path of witchcraft, but incorporates many different beliefs and practices into their craft. Many new witches consider themselves to be Eclectic Witches. When first encountering the new and exciting world of witchcraft, there is often much to explore and learn.

what is toxic positivity- a mental state where we only show and experience positive emotions or reacting to others issues with just positivity. Set unreal expectations that we must be happy all the time. When positivity is used to cover up our emotions instead of experiencing them we cause more internal issues!Toxic positive is: Unhelpful Can be Dangerous for one's mental health Dismissive Rude Forces people to keep silent about their struggles.Cause us to live in denial by not acknowledging emotions Examples of Toxic Positivity- be grateful for what you have, look on the bright side, everything happens for a reason, good vibes only, just think positive, it could be worse, this too shall pass, happiness is a choice.This is not helpful and encouraging, it is more invalidating of someone's feelings, possibly isolating, dismissive, and hurtful. Most people who say these things mean well and often don’t know how to confront and deal with their own painful emotions therefore masking them. Signs of toxic positivityHiding your true feelingsFeeling guilty for feeling what you feelMinimizing other people’s experiences positivityShaming others for expressing anothing other than being positive What to Do Instead- Have compassion, give support, and validate feelings and emotionsDid you know that 1 in 4 people suffer from a mental illness. Understand that emotions are not good or bad. They are tools to help us understand yourself more! Use empathy by putting aside your own viewpoint and see things from the other person's perspective.Validating affirmationsInstead of: Just stay positive; say I know that can be hard to experience, I’m here for you if you need me. If i can do it so can you; say I understand that everyone's abilities are different, if you need help, you can call on me!It could be worse; I’m sorry this is something you're experiencing. Create space for someone to speak their truth. Accept balanceAccepting balance- allow yourself and others to feel what they are experiencing. The power of positivityThere is power is being positive and in gratitude but it's important to have the awareness to know when it is beneficial and helpful as well as wanted.

Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behaviour and information processing.

Have you ever had someone perform a reading on you using tarot cards? People all over the world consult tarot readers to get questions about their life. These questions can be focused on a particular relationship, the future, or even to learn aspects about themselves. The list goes on and on of what can be answered through the use of tarot cards.A tarot deck consists of 78 cards. Of those 78 cards there are two that people fear the most. They are the death and devil card. For most people these two words “death” and “devil” carry a lot of negative energy around them.Visit Sage-sol.com

Halloween is rumored to have originated with the Celtics who called it Samhain. Samhain was a celebration which represented the ending of the summer cycle and the beginning of the winter or the “darker half” of the year. It was also the time that represented a time to celebrate death; as this time was known to represent a time where the veil between this world and the spirit world was thin which allowed for crossings and communication with the dead to take place easily. For those who have lost loved ones in the past year, it was an opportunity to bring closure to those who are grieving. During this time animals were often killed to prepare for the winter and the honoring of deities and ancestors were common holiday practice.Halloween RitualsWith the powerful energy of change and death that surrounds this time of the year, it’s a good idea to take advantage of it and discover and create your own halloween rituals. This could be taking a nature walk and simply acknowledging the life of the dying plants around you, finding a special way to honor your ancestors, or even performing a séance to have direct communication with those who passed. Below are five of my favorite halloween rituals: Set up an Ancestor Altar- Setting up an ancestor altar is very easy to create and can be customized to your liking. First you want to find a flat surface such as a table or counter space and clean/cleanse the space. Add candles, pictures, food, gifts, and your ancestors favorite items. Next you want to invite your ancestors into the space. Speak their name out loud and thank them for their guidance and wisdom. Use this space to talk and connect with your ancestors. Visit a cemetery- One of my favorite things to do when I get a chance is to visit cemeteries. This is an easy thing to do, just find a local cemetery and take a walk around it. During your visit you can bring fresh flowers and fruits to honor those who have passed. Read their names and thank them! Remember to always be respectful during your visit and to cleanse yourself afterwards. Transformation Journaling- This is a time of change and a season of death, it is a good opportunity to go within by journaling. Think about your own personal transformations, things you want to let go of and ways you want to foster growth for the season to come. Write about your past accomplishments and the new things you have learned and how you will use those as the old you dies and the new you emerges. Have a Bonfire- There is nothing better than a burning bonfire on a chill autumn night, especially when it is done with intention! If you’re unable to create a large outside bonfire this can also be done with a firepit, fireplace, or even a candle! The intentions of this fire is to release old parts of you or habits that no longer serve you. Write everything that you want to release and then cast it to the fire. Imagine a new you emerging from that fire and envision the life you desire and believe that it is already done. Have a Celebration Feast- This dinner is very similar to thanksgiving without the over indulgence! This is a simple dinner created with the intentions to thank the passing season and the abundance it brought and to honor the ancestors. This celebration feast is created by first making dinner and including a few favorites of your ancestors, set a special place for your ancestors at the table, play music and decorate, and invite friends and family. During dinner say what you are thankful for and also acknowledge the sacrifice and guidance of your ancestors!

It taught me that I have a direct connection to the ultimate creator, that there is no Hell, no true right or wrong, and how to truly love another person. “Enlightenment is understanding that there is nowhere to go, nothing to do, and nobody you have to be except exactly who you’re being right now.”Illusions by Richard BachThis book taught me that Jesus was the ultimate example of who we are and the power we have. “What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.” and “Believe you know all the answers, and you know all the answers. Believe you are a master, and you are.”Dear Universe by Sarah ProutI go to this book whenever I want to explore my emotionsStressedGod’s Debris by Scott Adams This book taught me to question everything and the power of probability which determines every outcome in life. This book also says how a person's level of awareness determines the reality they experience. “The Universe is nothing but dust and probability.The Power of Now by Eckhart TolleThis book will remind you that life can only take place in the NOW. It will give you the push you need to live your best life. It will help you understand and accept your ego and recognize you have the power to create the life you desire! Attention is key to transformations- and full attention also implies acceptance.”

Welcome beautiful people! Growing up most of us were taught to believe that it was bad to experience certain emotions. We were told not to be upset or sad. Demands from parents such as “stop crying” or “don’t pout” were common to us growing up. For most of us those beliefs became ingrained into our psyche and a normal part of our life. Since we were taught at a young age to view certain emotions as bad; whenever we feel them, we usually end up feeling worse. In this episode we are discussing emotions. It’s important to learn to how to manage your emotions, so that you can live a happier life! Connect with us on our website sage-sol.com and on Facebook!Blessings,Sage and Sol
