www.mumblesandthings.com/blog/028 Hello and welcome to episode 28 of the Talk Witchcraft podcast! Mystic Sisters Maggie and Erica are talking about kitchen witchery. "Kitchen witches don't just cook, we infuse our creations with magical intention.

This basic premise can be applied to kitchen witchcraft as well." Tune in to hear about cooking with magical intention; maintaining sacred space in the kitchen, and how to create a magical recipe.

www.mumblesandthings.com/blog/026 Hello and welcome to episode 26 of the Talk Witchcraft podcast! Mystic sisters Maggie and Erica are talking about protection magic and defensive witchcraft. "I believe it is an absolute necessity for witches to practice protective magic because, through magic, we are testing the laws of the universe and in some cases provoking unknown forces that often lead to consequences we cannot control or predict. Using defensive magic you can guard yourself, your loved ones and your homes." Tune in to hear about the difference between binding, banishing, and warding; how to create sacred space, and why you want to practice cleansing. We'll also share some personal stories about the Two of Cups as well as the medicinal and magical uses of Catnip.
