A mid-year check-in is an act of love toward ourselves and our dreams. It's a recognition that growth isn't linear, and progress doesn't always look the way we thought it would. Sometimes the most powerful move isn't pushing harder—it's pausing with intention, gathering wisdom, and choosing our next step with heart and clarity. The halfway point of the year is a sacred threshold. It is not simply a marker on a calendar; it is a portal. A moment where we can pause, breathe, and reflect on the intentions we so carefully set under the bright energy of January's new beginnings! We've got this!

It's time to celebrate … once again!  Our wheel of the year has turned ever onward … an ongoing ancient spiral of sun and shadow, life and death, sowing and reaping. It is the sacred rhythm of the Earth herself, a great circle marked by eight spokes — eight sabbats — each one a threshold into a different current of energy and magic. These festivals help guide us witches, pagans, and nature lovers alike to honor the cycles of the seasons, to dance in step with the waxing and waning light, and to weave our lives into the great tapestry of the natural world. Litha, our Summer Solstice is the height of the sun. It is the longest day when the Sun King reigns at his zenith. Litha is a celebration of abundance, joy, and the fierce power of fire. But from this peak, the descent begins: a reminder that all things cycle. Join me for today's celebration and let's bask in the sun together!PatreonHearth & HenWitchy Work Wishes

Don't let the title fool you ... before you get the creepy crawly shivers with today's topic, let me assure you this episode is full of good energy, great wisdom and wonderful workings we can pull and use when the Spider spirit calls.  So stay with me … I promise this is going to be a good and motivating episode for us! Today we are going to tap into our ability tosee the energy of everything around us.  And for the Spider Spirit ….. well, she walks us to the edge of an ancient web—one woven with care, instinct, and infinite design. We're stepping into the sacred strands of the Spider, a weaver, a watcher, a wise one who sits patiently at the center of her creation, waiting for just the right moment to move!PatreonHearth & HenWitchy Work Witches

It's time to get down to business once again. And today it's about when a Witch stands tall in their truth. When we do .... the world adjusts. Energy shifts. Doors open. Clients appear. Opportunities align. The work flows and the magic moves! We are not just here to work. We are here to be witnessed in our work. To let our life become the altar. To let our visibility become a beacon. This is our season to rise.  So take up s20pace.  Take the meeting.  Take the stage.  Take the leap.   And ... take all of your magic with you. I've got your back ... I am here to help and this episode is for us to rise up in the business world!PatreonHearth & HenWitchy Work Wishes

In the witchy community, we are taught to listen to our intuition, honor the cycles of nature, and craft our lives with intention. We embrace stillness, mystery, and meaning. We speak the language of symbols and signs. We honoremotions not as distractions, but as messengers. In this sacred space, success is defined by alignment, authenticity, and personal growth. But in the corporate world? Things often move fast, linear, and loud. The language of business is filled with metrics and margins, KPIs and deadlines.Productivity is prized. Efficiency is worshipped. And intuition — that beautiful, ancient voice inside us — is too often drowned out by meetings, policies, and the hum of fluorescent lights. In corporate culture, time is sliced into quarters and task lists. There's little space for the moon, the seasons, or the sacred pause. And for those of us who are witches — who feel energy, who track lunar phases, who sense when something is off in the room before a word is spoken — this environment can feel like living in translation. But what if we don't have to keep them apart? What if being a witch isn't in conflict with being a business owner, a teamleader, or a professional? Today's episode is about reclaiming our magic in the business world, owning our ambition, and showing up fully, fiercely, and unapologetically as witches who work with purpose! So let's do it together :-).WitchyWorkWishesPatreonHearth & Hen

Here we are …. On the next chapter to our Witchy Work Study Series …. Witchcraft 102.  And today we get to build on basics and continue our growth.  Today we are going deeper into the craft & strengthening ourselves. This is the part of the journey where we begin to embody the work. Not just knowthe terms, but start living the magic. This isn't about memorizing correspondences or setting up the perfect altar. It's about creating rituals that actually fit your life. It's about learning to trust your intuition more than the page. And it's about moving from “am I doing this right?” to “what feels right for me?” Witchcraft 102 is the space between the spark and the fire. It's where we integrate the things we've read, the spells we've tried, the energy we've felt—and start weaving them into the rhythm of our daily lives. It's where your practice becomes less about checking boxes and more about checking in with your soul. So join me today and let's jump into this together - because together ... we've got this!PatreonHearth & HenWitchy Work Wishes

Today is all about the Witch's Guide to Big Picture Thinking and it is setting the stage for a big month of episodes dedicated to the business world we work in. As witches, we are deeply present beings. We honor the seasons as they turn, we mark the phases of the moon, we listen to the whisper of the winds and the roots growing under our feet. And that's powerful. That's sacred. But here's something I've learned on my own journey, and it's something I feel called to share with you today: It's not just about honoring where we are — it's also about dreaming into where we are becoming. Big picture thinking — long-term visioning — is itself a form of magic. It's spellwork stretched out across time. It's manifestation that doesn't just bloom for a moment but grows into a mighty oak. Today's episode walks us through the steps and I am so glad you are here joining me for it! PatreonWitchy Work WishesHearth & Hen

Can you feel it? That heady, pulsing magic in the air? That electric hum in the earth beneath your bare feet? Beltane is here! And she's not tiptoeing in quietly — she's bursting through like wildflowers after the last frost, dancing with firelight and perfume, beckoning us to throw off our coats and leap into life with abandon. This is a festival of community, of heart, of turning on our inner lights and letting them burn bright. Beltane reminds us that we are meant to bloom — wildly, unapologetically, and together. So that is what we are going to do today - celebrate Beltane together!Patreon FamilyWitchy Work Wishes WebsiteHearth & Hen Blog

I want to explore a subtle, but powerful distinction: What's the difference between the Fae and Nature Spirits? While they both dwell in the liminal spaces of the world, they are not the same—and knowing how to tell them apart can completely change how you interact with the energy around you. We'll talk about who these spirits are, how they show up, and how to respectfully build relationships with each. I'll also guide you through the elemental beings—gnomes, sylphs, undines, and salamanders—and how they connect to the land itself. So whether you're a forest-wandering witch or an apartment-dwelling one who feels the hum of spirit in your potted herbs, this episode has something for you!Witchy Work WishesPatreonHearth & Hen

The deeper I go into the world of Dark Fae & Shadow Folk, the more I realize that encounters with them, especially the dark ones, aren't just supernatural stories. They're invitations. Invitations to pause. To feel. To examine the parts of ourselves that feel unsettled, unseen, or unclaimed. The Unseelie don't simply challenge us for the thrill of it. They provoke awakening. They stir the soul. They call to the witchwho's ready to walk the in-between. But you do not have to accept every invitation. You do not have to open your door to every knocking spirit or follow every flickering light into the woods. Join me today to learn more about navigating this world and hear of the stories handed down by our ancestors of the Dark Fae and Shadow Folk.Patreon FamilyWitchy Work WishesHearth & Hen

We are leading up to Beltane .. and this is the first in my April episodes to get us ready. I want to start by saying … I don't think the Fae are here to make life easier. They are here to make it truer … but not really easier.   In the minimal years I've opened myself to their world—sometimes with cautious offerings, other times stumbling unwittingly into their wild games—I've come to see them less as mythical curiosities and more as quiet (and sometimes chaotic) teachers. Not in the structured way we humans often seek, but in whispers, in riddles, in sudden winds and unexpected lessons. The Fae, for those willing to listen, I think ….. have much to teach us. I invite you to walk the liminal path with me today as we explore who they really are—their roots in folklore, the mystery of their liminal energy, and their many faces. For in the quiet, where magic's spun, The Witch and Fae are two, yet one!PatreonWitchy Work Wishes WebsiteHearth & Hen Blog

Are you feeling it?  A shared emotion, energy, or something …. almost like there's a "group vibe" or a common emotional thread running through everyone right now. And it's not going to be the exact same feeling for each of us … but on a communal level …. Something is happening, right?   It's like our group is becoming a single organism, emotionally speaking. I think … There is a very real energetic pulse moving through the witchcraft and spiritual communities right now. It's like a drumbeat beneath the surface, calling us to step into our power, reclaim our roots ….  speak louder, and weave more intention into the world around us.  A kind of collective rising if you will …..  especially among witches, healers, spiritual workers, and the edge-walkers who have been quietly doing their work for a long time. If you are feeling it - today's episode is just for you! Join me and my guest Chelsie for a fun dive into the world of Tarot and Oracle Magic!

The Ladybug is often associated with luck, renewal, and protection. Across many cultures, this little beetle is seen as a harbinger of blessings and a messenger of positive change!

Welcome my magical friends! The bee, small yet mighty, carries profound spiritual significance for those who feel drawn to its energy. As a spirit animal, the bee embodies the essence of hard work, community, and the rewards that come from dedication.

Ostara 2025 is here! The Spring Equinox is a time of renewal,balance and awakening. As the day and night stand in perfect harmony, we'll explore the deep-rooted history of this sabbat, from ancient fertility festivals to the German goddess Eostre and her ties to modern traditions. We'lltalk about Ostara correspondences, seasonal spell work, and powerful rituals you can incorporate into your practice—whether it's egg magic, planting intentions, or embracing the shift in energy ... I've got you covered today! Plus, we'll dive into divination, moon phases, and how to work with both light and shadow during this potent transition. Stay till the end when I do the weekly moon phase updates ... it's a biggie! As the Worm Moon rises in the sky on March 14, 2025, it carries with it the deep, stirring magic of rebirth, emergence, and transformation. Named for the softening of the earth as worms and creatures awaken beneath the soil, this moon is a symbol of fertility, renewal, and new life beginning to stir after the stillness of winter. This year, however, the Worm Moon will be bathed in an eerie red glow as a total lunar eclipse unfolds—a rare Blood Moon at thethreshold of Ostara. This celestial event amplifies the moon's power, turning it from a time of gentle awakening into a night of profound alchemy, release, and rebirth.

Today is a special episode that is really personal, a private seat at a garden table with me and my mom …. Just taking and catching up.  It was not planned … she called and said how about coming over for some wine and snackies and catch-up chit chat …. And of course, I said yes! I grabbed my recording stuff just in case … and when the conversation started – it just organically turned into a late winter garden conversation between a mother and daughter.  I always have questions I want to ask her – and sitting in her lovely garden on a pretty warm afternoon in late February … well, it just worked out perfectly.  I hope you enjoy it too. I talk a little about our March Patreon Card Pull too. It's a good one - and I have had SO many signs with it. We will have good energy to work with this month. And I introduce a new project I am working - Hearth and Hen! I can't wait to share it with you. Charlenehttps://www.patreon.com/witchyworkwisheshttps://witchyworkwishes.com

Elderberry has long been a staple in folk magic and herbal wisdom, offering protection, healing, and a connection to the unseen.  In this episode of Witchy Work Wishes, I will be exploring the rich magical and medicinal history of elderberry, uncovering its ancient folklore, spell work uses, and how you can invite itsenergy into your own craft.  So, brew yourself a cozy cup of elderberry tea, or something that sounds just perfect for you right now … settle in, and let's journey together into the enchantment of this mystical herb.https://www.patreon.com/witchyworkwisheshttps://witchyworkwishes.com

Witches who weave moon magic into their office and corporate lives harness a powerful, cyclical force that brings balance, intuition, and intention to their work. By aligning tasks with the moon's phases—launching projects with the waxing moon, closing deals under the full moon, or reflecting and restructuring during the waning moon— We can flow with natural energy rather than against it. Setting intentions with the new moon can help manifest career goals, while dark moon energy offers space for deep introspection and recalibration in high-stakes environments. Charging office tools, from planners to crystals, with lunar energy infuses daily tasks with magical purpose, transforming the workplace into a sacred space of empowerment and manifestation. Whether subtly incorporating moon phases into decision-making or creating a full moon abundance ritual before a big pitch, we witches in our corporate worlds ….  can wield lunar wisdom to cultivate success, creativity, and our own personal power! So join me today and let's create some Office Moon Magic together! If you want to hear my guest spot on Anika's podcast (where we talk about our recent Spirit interactions) head over to Between Two Worlds and check it out.

Today's episode is going to have a much different take on the Love Holiday that is happening right now.  Yes, it's that time of year …. Love is in the air.  And yes … if you just sighed with frustration, I get it.  Today though, is not about the overcommercialized holiday.  Today is not about the cookie cutter stamp of cards and flowers.  Believe it or not, Valentine's Day has deep historical and magical roots beyond commercialism. Today …. I am going to explore its pagan origins, mystical traditions, and how we … modern witches….  can harness the energy of Valentines Day. Today we are reclaiming Lupercalia … we are using this day for magic andself-care! If you are in our Patreon family – I added a new worksheet that I'll start out each month with.  It's a grimoire page that has a BUNCH of stuff – but will include a Full moon ritual each month – one that specifically focuses on and works with the card draw theme for the month.  So head over to Patreon and download that page so you can grab the added features for working with this Snow Full Moon of February happening right at Lupercalia.https://www.patreon.com/witchyworkwisheshttps://witchyworkwishes.com

Do you ever feel like Phil ... the character in the movie Groundhog Day? Repeating life's lessons over and over again? Well, not today! Not for us - we are going to be brave and learn from our past, understand our shadow and learn the lessons we need to grow and move forward! Today it's about breaking the cycles. Life has a way of presenting us with patterns—situations and challenges that seem to repeat over and over again. These repetitions are not mere coincidences but opportunities for growth, signaling lessons that remain unlearned or aspects of ourselves that need attention. Recognizing and breaking these patterns requires intention, awareness, and sometimes a little magical assistance. So let's talk about our powers … our practical and witchy tools … that will help in identifying and overcoming repetitive cycles! Be sure to join the family at Patreon too. Today's episode has a worksheet uploaded there to help you in this journey. https://www.patreon.com/witchyworkwishes https://witchyworkwishes.com

The wheel is turning and we find ourselves at the threshold of yet another celebration … Imbolc! This is a time to honor the stirring of life beneath the surface, even as winter's chill still lingers in the air. Imbolc is a celebration of light returning, of seeds germinating in the dark soil, and of the goddess Brigid, whose flame inspires creativity, transformation, and renewal. This sacred festival invites us to pause and reflect on the subtle yet powerful energy of new beginnings. It's a time to ignite the fires of inspiration, to nurture the dreams we hold close, and to set intentions that align with the path we wish to walk. Today's episode is the perfect compliment to last week's episode about our Magical Witchy Gardens which starts with the power of Imbolc. Thank you for joining me.. thank you for sharing this space, and thank you for allowing me to be part of your space, your energy and your journey. As we honor Imbolc together, I really do hope the light of this season guides and inspires us all with the infinite possibilities that lie ahead. Happy Imbolc 2025!

This episode is a bit of a precursor to next week's 2025 Imbolc topic … but it really is a good place to start sowing the seeds of our intentions and creating a magical witchy garden for renewal and growth. Just as gardeners plant in alignment with the seasons, we, too, can align our intentions with the energies of the universe to cultivate a life of purpose and abundance in our practices. So, grab your tools—your favorite journal, a cup of tea, or simply an open heart—and let's dig into the magic of renewal and growth. Together, we'll plant the seeds… both literally and metaphorically ….  that will grow into the vibrant future you deserve. Let's create a magical witchy garden!

Have you ever wondered why certain numbers seem to follow you everywhere, or why your birthdate feels like it holds a secret meaning? Numerology is the sacred art of numbers and their energetic vibrations ... a tool that witches, mystics, and seekers have used for centuries to unlock hidden truths about ourselves and the world around us. In this episode, I'll explore the power of numbers: how they can guide our paths, reveal our life purposes, and even help us manifest our dreams. I will break down what numerology is, how it works, and how you can use it in your magical practice—whether it's through your personal life path number, the energies of the days, or even spell work. So grab your journal, your favorite cup of tea, and maybe even a calculator—it's time to make the numbers work their magic! :-) https://www.patreon.com/witchyworkwishes https://witchyworkwishes.com

In the depths of the dark moon's energy, as the final Black Moon of the year rises, I am exploring the transformative power of shadow work. This episode dives deep into embracing the parts of ourselves we often hide or shy away from—our fears, our wounds, and our raw truths. This is the perfect time to reflect, release, and reset as we approach the end of the year. Together, we'll discuss how the Black Moon's energy amplifies this introspection and share tools for navigating the shadows with intention and grace.

https://www.patreon.com/witchyworkwishes https://witchyworkwishes.com/ The tale of the flying ointment begins in the shadowy past of medieval and early modern witchcraft traditions. Long before “witch” was a term whispered with fear or disdain, wise folk in villages and forests crafted potions and salves to connect with the spirit world. These ointments were not merely concoctions of whimsy but were carefully designed to aid in what we now call spirit flight—journeys of the soul beyond the physical realm. I am reviewing our modern uses and practices of flying ointments today and pulling some safe ingredients & DIY recipes. Of course, I'll be giving some suggestions on how we can use flying ointments in connection with our jobs, work and corporate world too. So …. Whether you've dreamed of soaring through the astral realms, connecting with spirit guides, or just unlocking a little extra magic in your practice, this episode is for you. Grab your favorite cup of tea, light a candle, and let's explore the history, the magic, and the modern-day uses of these mystical tools.

Today I am diving into something that I think we've all felt at one point or another ... how being thankful has become a little cliché. Now, before you throw your pumpkin spice latte at me, hear me out. I'm not saying gratitude isn't important—it absolutely is. But somewhere along the way, it feels like we've turned thankfulness into a performance. It's something we check off a list rather than something we deeply feel. So, today, I am talking about how to reclaim gratitude and make it personal, meaningful, and real. Because let's face it, gratitude is more than a perfectly filtered Instagram post or a cookie-cutter list of blessings. It's messy, raw, and deeply human!

In witchcraft, keys are potent symbols of access and control, representing the power to open and close doors in both physical and spiritual realms. They are used as tools for creating boundaries, inviting opportunities, and securing protection. In spell work, a key might "unlock" pathways for new beginnings, self-discovery, or spiritual communication. Conversely, it can "lock away" negativity, close cycles, or protect spaces by creating an energetic barrier. Whether used as charms, talismans, or ritual objects, keys serve as tangible reminders of a witch's ability to control access to different aspects of life, offering both protection and empowerment.

Happy November! Today is all about our Familiars … our Spiritual Companions & Magical Allies. A witch's familiar, in a traditional sense, is seen as a spiritual entity or animal companion that aids us in our magical practices. Historically, familiars were believed to be supernatural beings, often taking the form of animals like cats, dogs, birds, or toads, and were thought to serve witches by assisting in spellcasting, protecting them from harm, or even carrying out magical tasks on their behalf. Modern witches today often view familiars as spiritual guides. These companions may offer protection, help us focus our energy during rituals, or provide insight through intuitive connection. Familiars often form a deeply personal bond with the witch they assist, enhancing their magical workings and serving as a source of comfort and spiritual companionship. Familiars are not limited to the physical world, as some witches connect with ethereal or spirit familiars, which can act as guides in meditation, divination, and astral work. Do you have and work with a familiar in your practice? Charlene https://witchyworkwishes.com/ https://www.patreon.com/c/witchyworkwishes

Welcome to this magical episode #107 which is dedicated to the Fall celebration of Samhain. We sure have had a fun month here in October so far … with three episodes all about working on our own personal genealogy and calling our loved ones who have passed to join us in a dumb supper.  Thank you for the supporting comments and words of encouragement … I am so happy you guys loved the series.  I really did too.  It is Samhain eve as this airs and it's the perfect time to take a step back and talk about the Witch's New Year with you and wrap up our October energy! Samhain marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. It's a time to honor ancestors, reflect on the past year, and recognize the thinning of the veil between the physical world and the spirit realm. Join me today for this special episode for Samhain 2024! https://www.patreon.com/witchyworkwishes https://witchyworkwishes.com

Welcome to the last part in my 3-part series on Tracing our Ancestral Roots with Genealogy.  Today it's all about the Samhain Dumb Supper ritual, which the previous two episodes have perfectly set us up for!  Who are you inviting to dinner next week? We are now just weeks away from October 31st Samhain & Halloween.  And, I am using the last two weeks in our month of October to help support our practices in this thin veil time.  I believe today's episode is the perfect way to wrap up the series … and call to the very ancestors we have been working so hard to uncover.  Next week, I do have an episode called Samhain 2024 which is airing on the 30th … the night before we get to experience all of this magical day and night's energy.  But for today – let's dive into the world of communicating with our ancestors through a Dumb Supper! It does go long (it's over 2 hours today) with lots of personal stories and sharing from both my Mom and me. Thank you for being on this 3-part episode journey with both of us! We have loved sharing the time and space with you. Charlene https://www.patreon.com/c/witchyworkwishes https://witchyworkwishes.com/

Welcome to Witchy Work Wishes …. And to the second part of the 3 October episodes specifically dedicated to tracing our ancestral roots with genealogy. Today's episode is picking up right where we left off last week with a focus today on the spiritual side of our genealogy work and the amazing stuff that gets handed down to us through our DNA. I have Judy, my Mom, back with us today to guide us through it all. We are also having a wonderful full moon right now ! This October full moon is happening during the time when the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is thinnest, making it a potent time for connecting with our ancestors, honoring the dead, and receiving spiritual guidance. The intense, mystical energy of this moon is perfect for deep introspection, ritual work, and tuning into your intuition as you enter the more inward-focused time of the year. Today's episode has a bunch of great information for you ... just like last week's part 1 of the series!

Whether you're looking to find hidden parts of your family history, connect to your bloodline for spiritual reasons, or just learn where you came from, I have Judy with me today, aka my Mom.. who will be giving us practical tips and insights on how to trace our roots.  I have mentioned before her deep history and expertise in genealogy work.  She really has dedicated the past 50 years of her life working in this field and also, helping others on their journey. She is the perfect addition and compliment to help us today. I have a bunch of resources listed in the show - but some good ones to get you started below too. Enjoy!

Today we're diving into the fascinating world of October's Thin Veil. As we launch the magical month of October, we enter a time when the boundaries between our world and the spirit realm feel especially fragile.  I have been building up to this topic over the past couple of episodes … because I have a definite theme with the upcoming October episodes … all of which will support this area in our practices. The idea of the “Thin Veil” originates from various traditions, but it's especially prominent in cultures that celebrate Samhain, which comes from the Gaelic festival marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. Samhain is often considered the Celtic New Year, and a time to honor our ancestors and acknowledge the spirits that walk among us. Are you ready? Let's dive into it together!

Today we are talking about signs. I talked a little about signs in last week's episode and how I am trying harder and doing better at interpretating my dreams and seeing the signs that are given to me.  But you know what, that is hard to do without a nice little tool box of exercises I can work on and pull from to get better.  This is a muscle of sorts that needs to be trained … educated and grown so that I can be ready …. We…. We can be ready to interact with the messages we get from our dreams, traveling the realms or simple messages given to us in our day in and day out lives.  So that is my focus today.  I want to learn myself and also empower you … so we all have the tools! If you are wondering if you are getting signs and messages from your ancestors, spirits, deities and other realms ... today is your episode! Be sure to check out my Patreon account too - October is almost here which means the launch of a bunch of fun material, card pulls and videos just for my Patreon members! ⁠https://www.patreon.com/witchyworkwishes⁠ ⁠https://witchyworkwishes.com/⁠

The Mabon celebration is happening this weekend.  This is a celebration on the wheel of the year, specifically a harvest celebration, the second one in fact ... and it is our Fall Solstice.

Protection is so important in our practices! In order to really dive into today's topic of being a protected witch, I will be taking a personal and introspective approach to it. I am hoping to combine practical advice with the emotional and spiritual journey of self-protection.  This is coming directly from the messages I believe I was getting (in some sort of way through the dream I had of a glove, then seeing … physically seeing the exact glove two days later in my front courtyard floating around in the breeze … to then having a hand imprint keepsake fall right in front of me).  I took time to get my thoughts together on protective magic and what I was and was not doing, for my own protection.  We are coming into fall season which for many of us … wakes up our practices, puts a little pep back in our step and invites us to become a little more active in our own witchcraft practices.  For me at least.  It does for me.  So with fall officially on the near horizon, it actually is a good time for all of us to visit the concept of being a protected witch.

My first (and only for that matter) servitor is still very active today and has grown to be a huge part of my office. I am ready to make another one and have Yaxel back with me on today's episode to walk us through the steps to create our own Servitor. If you have any questions, Yaxel can be reached on Instagram @ManicFoxMagik or online at https://zero-sum.neocities.org/. Enjoy - and let's make a Servitor! If you need to reach me, zip me a note through Instagram @WitchyWorkWishes or online at https://witchyworkwishes.com/. Charlene ** quick little sidenote, I do talk about the full super blue moon that happened this past Monday and mention a blue moon being an occurrence of two full moons in a calendar month- want to clarify that is the astronomical calendar not the Gregorian calendar. The astronomical calendar is basically the 22nd of a regular month through the 22 of the next month … or something close to it. So when I'm talking about our calendar months, I'm talking about the astrological calendar months, it's within that that a blue moon will happen if two full moons occur in the 30 day sequence.

Today we are back in my Spellbound Spirits series … which is focused on the working witches … and no, not working in our craft type working, but working as in the corporate world, our jobs or whatever it is that you do to produce your own income. This series focuses on the after workday time, the time we get to have after a long productive day at the office! I am pulling things, ideas and topics, that helps us relax, help us wind down and help us transition back into our homes, our nests our safe spaces. Today picks right up where I left off last week talking about the Full Moon energy and herbs and we are focusing on 3 herbs in cocktail recipes and a mixed berry mocktail. We have Mugwort, Jasmine and the Bay Leaf for our spotlight herbs and then a great mocktail using mixed berries. All receipies are listed on my website https://witchyworkwishes.com/ just head to the "after hours tab" and click on Spellbound Spirits to get the specifics!

Welcome to Witchy Work Wishes, I am your host Charlene and today's episode # 95 is all about the Full Moon and how we can work with this very energetic and fun phase of the moon's cycle.  It's gearing us up for next week's episode – another addition to the after-hours segment of Witchy Work Wishes and my spellbound spirits series – where we will be making full moon cocktails.  I do have a couple of questions I added in - and would love to hear from you! Are you doing anything with the energy of 8/8 the Lions Gate tomorrow? Let me know! Charlene https://witchyworkwishes.com/

Lughnasa, also known as Lammas, has always fascinated me as one of the lesser-known festivals.  But it is deeply significant when talking about Celtic festivals. Celebrated on August 1st, this one marks the beginning of the harvest season, a time when the first grains and fruits of the year are gathered. The festival is named after the Celtic god Lugh, a deity of light and skill.  Lughnasa is one of the celebrations on our wheel of the year calendar …. Which represents the cyclical nature of the seasons (which I just love). Join me today as I talk about the history of Lughnasa and some fun things we can do in our practice to celebrate it! https://witchyworkwishes.com/

This is an up close and personal recording of me and my two boys up in the High Sierra Mountains. We are asking questions that are deep and true to our hearts and pulling from both the Rune deck that I am newly working with and my trusted Crow Tarot Deck that we have used in previous recordings. This episode recording is listed as explicit due to the language (at times) and nature of the questions being so personal. Thank you to both Taylor and Connor for agreeing to record with me and for sharing their personal journey and for asking such deep questions to the cards. I love them both with all of my heart and I am so grateful to call them my boys ... my family ... my heart! https://witchyworkwishes.com/

Quick Reminder - no episode this week as I am up in the High Sierra Mountains! I'll be back next week talking about bridging the Norse Paganism with my Witchcraft practice and then the following week will have a full episode on Lughnasa! :-) Charlene https://witchyworkwishes.com/

This week ... we are building our rune sets! Join me and my guest Justin, the Pagan Padre, on our 2nd episode of the two part series about the Elder Futhark Runes! And, if you have lots of questions about this process (like I do) Justin said to reach out .... he can be found on Instagram @PaganPadre2020 and you can also contact him on Discord under the same name! If you would like to know more about Witchy Work Wishes ... head to my website https://witchyworkwishes.com/. I am so excited to make my own personal rune set! Let's make one together. Charlene

I am on a big personal journey creating my own rune set and this two-part series with Justin the Pagan Padre guides us step by step in the learning process to do it. This first part is all about what each rune looks like, what each rune means and learning if there is a Norse Deity that ties into the energy of it. There are 24 runes so this episode does go a little over an hour but there is a perfect stopping point right as we going into how to make our own set. And once again I am so thankful Justin is able to take time away from his family to spend with us in the Norse world. So join me today as we dive into the Elder Futhark Runes! https://witchyworkwishes.com/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/witchy-work-wishes/message
