The witches sit down with Patti Negri, the “Good Witch of Hollywood,” psychic medium, paranormal investigator, and author of Dollcraft: A Witch's Guide to Poppet Magick & Haunted Dolls, for a conversation about what happens when witchcraft and ghost hunting collide.Patti shares her approach to paranormal investigation as a practicing witch, while the witches explore haunted objects, spirit communication, and the strange questions that arise when witchcraft and ghost hunting overlap.And apparently Patti didn't come to the interview entirely alone.While recording, Laylla and Chelle noticed some unusual activity on Patti's video, including mysterious orbs moving through the room and a few particularly intriguing moments involving the dolls behind her. Was it dust, light, camera weirdness, or did some of Patti's otherworldly housemates decide they wanted a little screen time too?The evidence may be open to interpretation, but one thing is certain: Patti's energetic dolls seemed very interested in being part of the conversation! So turn down the lights, grab your favorite protective charm, and listen closely. You never know who, or what, might be listening along with you!Got a question?

First of all let me just say thank you for your patience as this episode ran late! We had a technical failure where the files of all the interviews I recorded became corrupted… which caused delays as I scrambled to schedule repeat interviews where I could due to scheduling! But here we are… done and live! - Carl A full year of hobby progress is coming to a close as Carl, Chelle, and Adan sit down to unpack everything the 2025-26 Hobby Progress Challenge became. Around three hundred hobbyists answered the call back in September, and by the time the dust (and the plastic shavings) settled, the community had painted well over eighteen hundred units between them. The hosts dig into who stuck it out for all twelve months, which bonus categories the community embraced and which ones got left gathering dust on the sprue, and crown the participants who topped the leaderboard through sheer bloody-minded consistency. Expect community voicemails, a few honest confessions about which of the three hosts actually kept pace with their own challenge, and a hard look at what it really takes to paint through an entire year without losing steam. The actual ending of the Hobby Progress Challenge is at the end of this month, and the drawings for prizes will happen (hopefully live!) in the first week of September. This has been our most successful run of this event so far! Thank you for being a part of it!

Together, the witches talk about the difference between reconstructing an ancient religion and creating a living spiritual tradition, working with Gods, ancestors, land spirits, folklore, magic, and the values that shape Heathen community today.They also explore some of the harder questions modern Heathens face, including inclusivity, ancestry, cultural identity, and the ways Norse symbols and traditions have been misused by extremist groups.Whether you already walk a Heathen path or you just want to know what exists beyond Thor, Odin, and a suspicious number of ravens, this episode offers a thoughtful, grounded look at a tradition that is still very much alive and evolving.Got a question?

L'intelligence artificielle bouscule les équilibres internes et impose une transformation du management à grande échelle. L'automatisation des tâches pose une urgence immédiate. Il faut réinventer les compétences avant la disparition des emplois.Dans cet épisode, Delphine Zanelli reçoit Maryjo Charbonnier, Chief Human Resource Officer de Kyndryl.L'introduction de nouvelles technologies génère systématiquement de l'anxiété au sein des équipes. Chez Kyndryl, l'automatisation transforme radicalement les emplois puisque, comme l'explique la dirigeante, "nous avons déjà libéré 15 000 personnes à cause de l'utilisation de l'IA". Cette transformation du management exige une réponse organisationnelle précise pour maintenir la confiance. La fonction ressources humaines se retrouve en première ligne pour anticiper les suppressions de tâches, inventorier les expertises existantes et redéployer les individus vers des missions à plus forte valeur ajoutée.Ce défi management repose sur une anticipation minutieuse. Face aux ruptures, l'entreprise intervient en amont. Maryjo Charbonnier précise cette méthode en affirmant que "nous pouvons commencer à vous reskiller avant que votre travail de client s'arrête". La transformation du management s'opère par des outils de mesure continue et une acculturation globale. Les encadrants intègrent l'intelligence artificielle dans leurs objectifs avec la responsabilité de guider leurs collaborateurs vers de nouveaux apprentissages.L'organisation s'appuie également sur des mécanismes transparents d'évaluation. L'entreprise déploie des plateformes numériques qui génèrent automatiquement les questions d'évaluation pour libérer les managers de la charge cognitive. La pratique managériale évolue pour systématiser les retours constructifs à tous les niveaux car "le feedback est le moteur de notre progrès", rappelle la dirigeante. En parallèle, la reconnaissance devient un processus social et visible par tous pour nourrir l'engagement des collaborateurs.Membre du board du SHRM et rodée aux scissions d'entreprises mondiales, Maryjo Charbonnier conçoit son métier de manager depuis le terrain des crises. Elle aborde la transformation DRH avec un prisme ultra pragmatique en encourageant les équipes à se positionner là où l'entreprise souffre, car "les exécutifs tendent disproportionnellement à passer leur temps sur des choses qui ne fonctionnent pas". Face à l'incertitude technologique, elle rappelle une vérité individuelle. "La seule chose qui est dans votre contrôle, c'est votre rythme d'apprentissage".Cet épisode donne des éléments concrets pour anticiper l'impact de l'intelligence artificielle sur les compétences, déployer une culture du retour d'information continu et structurer la requalification des collaborateurs.CHAPITRAGE :(00:00) Le grand spin-off d'IBM et l'ère de l'IA (02:26) La méthode pour anticiper et inventorier (07:22) Auto-évaluation et confiance des équipes (12:13) Les quatre nouvelles missions du manager (19:16) Rendre le feedback simple et social (31:52) Pourquoi chercher la chaleur et la crise

Dans cet épisode d'ArtEcoVert, La voix de la couleur végétale et des plantes tinctoriales, nous avons le plaisir d'accueillir Pauline Leroux, experte reconnue dans le domaine des colorants naturels. Elle nous éclaire sur deux défis majeurs de la filière tinctoriale qui seront au cœur des journées professionnelles des 18 et 19 novembre à l'IUT de Béthune.Le premier défi que Pauline aborde est celui de la montée en échelle de la production de couleurs végétales. Bien que les tests en atelier montrent des résultats prometteurs, la transition vers une production industrielle soulève des questions techniques et logistiques cruciales. Comment valider des savoir-faire ancestraux tout en adaptant les outils de teinture pour les colorants végétaux ? C'est une question essentielle pour l'avenir de la filière.Le second défi concerne la preuve de concept industriel, un élément indispensable pour convaincre les acteurs de l'industrie de l'efficacité des colorants végétaux à grande échelle. Pauline souligne que le manque de preuves tangibles constitue un frein à de nombreux projets, malgré les avantages environnementaux et sanitaires indéniables des couleurs végétales. Dans cet épisode, elle partage des exemples inspirants et des pistes de réflexion sur la manière de surmonter ces obstacles.En conclusion, cet épisode se termine par un appel vibrant à la collaboration et à l'échange d'idées lors des rencontres professionnelles.

The front porch is more than a place for welcome mats, 'HARVEST' signs, and suspiciously loud wind chimes. It is the threshold between the outside world and the sanctuary of the home, making it one of the most important spaces for household protection, energy setting, and hearth magick.In this episode, Laylla and Chelle explore the superstitions and magical practices surrounding front doors, porches, entryways, and the paths that lead to them. They talk about brooms across the doorway and the many ways people have tried to keep harmful forces out while making sure good fortune stays inside.Whether your entrance is a sprawling farmhouse porch, an apartment hallway, or a single doormat outside your door, this episode offers practical ways to turn it into a magical boundary that welcomes peace, friendship, and abundance while firmly telling anything troublesome to keep moving.Got a question?

Lughnasadh is a time to celebrate not only the first harvest from the land, but also the gifts, talents, and abilities you have cultivated within yourself. In honor of Lugh, a deity of skill, mastery, leadership, and craft, Laylla and Chelle explore the talents we are born with, the skills we have earned through practice, and the quiet forms of wisdom we often forget to recognize as magick.What have you been growing within yourself? Which abilities have ripened through years of practice, mistakes, persistence, and experience? The witches talk about honoring the work it took to become who you are, giving thanks to the people who helped teach and shape you, and remembering that your gifts can nourish both your own life and the community around you.From the overflowing abundance of late summer to the first whispers of autumn, this episode celebrates what is ready to be gathered, what still needs tending, and what should be preserved as seed for the future. Rather than focusing heavily on the history and lore of the sabbat, which we have covered in previous Lughnasadh episodes linked in the show notes, this year we are honoring Lugh by recognizing the skills and magick we have grown within ourselves.Join us between the spokes of the Wheel and take a moment to celebrate your own harvest.

Sometimes a Pagan community begins with a formal plan, a sacred vision, and a carefully chosen meeting place. Other times, it begins with someone posting on Reddit and asking, “Hey, are there any Pagans around here?”In this episode, Laylla and Chelle sit down with Shannon Bronico Hodges, whose search for local Pagan community in Corning, New York helped spark the creation of Crystal City Circle. Laylla answered the post, the two connected, and before long they were figuring out how to turn a handful of interested strangers into a real, growing community.They talk about those early conversations, meeting new people from the internet, the excitement of realizing you are not the only witch in town, and the lessons they have learned while building Crystal City Circle from the ground up. From finding meeting spaces and welcoming new members to sharing responsibilities, handling growing pains, and creating a group that feels inclusive and sustainable.Shannon also shares advice for anyone who feels isolated in their practice or keeps wishing someone else would start a local group.

Some retreat lessons never go out of style. In this Throwback Thursday episode of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, Shannon Jamail revisits one of her favorite conversations with Chelle Swierz, founder of Topia Boutique Retreat Center in Baja California Sur, Mexico. While marketing trends, AI, and visibility strategies continue to evolve, the core principles of creating exceptional retreat experiences remain the same. In this conversation, Chelle shares the common mistakes she sees retreat leaders make—and many of them are still happening today. From poor guest preparation and choosing the wrong retreat dates to relying too heavily on social media instead of building genuine relationships, this episode is packed with timeless wisdom for retreat leaders. Shannon and Chelle also discuss: The importance of over-communicating with retreat guests Why trust is built long before a retreat begins How venue partnerships can elevate the guest experience Common planning mistakes that impact retreat success The power of personal connection over social media marketing Creating memorable and transformational retreat experiences If you're planning a retreat, struggling to fill one, or simply want to improve the experience you create for your guests, this episode is as relevant today as it was when it first aired. What You'll Learn in This Episode Common retreat hosting mistakes Why guest preparation matters How to choose better retreat dates The importance of clear communication Why relationships still outperform algorithms How retreat venues can support retreat leaders Creating an exceptional retreat guest experience Key Takeaways Retreat Success Starts Before Guests Arrive The guest experience begins long before check-in. Communication, preparation, and expectation-setting matter. Social Media Isn't Enough People may discover you online. But trust is built through relationships and conversations. Over-Communication Is a Good Thing Guests appreciate clarity. The more prepared they feel, the better their experience. Venue Partnerships Matter The right venue partner can dramatically improve the retreat experience for both leaders and guests. Authenticity Always Wins Clear, honest communication about what guests can expect leads to better experiences and stronger reviews.

Bad Girls Make Great Detectives: Fiona Hardy on Old Games In this episode of Between The Lines, Chelle and Leanne sit down with Melbourne author Fiona Hardy to talk about her latest crime novel Old Games — a fast-paced and offbeat Australian mystery set across Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula. Before we dive into crime fiction, we begin by uncovering Fiona's own criminal past… which involves stealing a single chocolate freckle from a milk bar at the age of seven. From there, the conversation turns to Hardy's love of crime writing and why she wanted to create a story centred on two morally flexible female private investigators instead of the traditional male detective. In Old Games, best friends Alice and Teddy make a living fixing problems no one else wants to deal with. When they're hired to track down the stolen ashes of a famous tennis player, what seems like a strange but simple job quickly spirals into a tangled web of secrets, lies, and danger. As they chase clues through Melbourne and along the Mornington Peninsula, Alice and Teddy discover that everyone connected to the late sports star is hiding something — and the deeper they dig, the riskier the investigation becomes. In our conversation with Fiona, we explore: Why crime fiction continues to captivate readers The joy of writing flawed and morally suspect female characters The friendship dynamic between Alice and Teddy Writing crime set in recognisably Australian settings The appeal of Aussie crime novels If you love crime fiction with sharp dialogue, strong female characters, and plenty of twists, this episode — and this book — is for you. About the Book Old Games by Fiona Hardy is a pacey Australian crime novel about two private investigators tasked with retrieving the stolen ashes of a famous tennis star. What begins as a routine job quickly turns complicated when everyone connected to the deceased sportsman appears to be hiding something. As Alice and Teddy dig deeper into Melbourne's sporting and celebrity circles, secrets unravel and the danger begins to escalate. About the Author Fiona Hardy is a Melbourne-based writer, bookseller, and reviewer. Her previous crime novel Unbury the Dead was shortlisted for the Ned Kelly Awards. Fiona is also an award-winning author of books for younger readers, including How to Make a Movie in 12 Days (a CBCA Notable Book) and How to Write the Soundtrack to Your Life, which won the 2021 Children's Peace Literature Award. Despite writing about crime, Fiona's real-life criminal history is relatively minor — consisting of stealing a single chocolate freckle from a milk bar when she was seven years old.

What happens when two very busy witches slowly stop doing witchcraft?In this episode, Laylla and Chelle talk about the years when their practice went from sabbats, esbats, workshops, classes, coven-building, and constant community work to almost nothing. Not because they stopped believing. Not because the magick disappeared. But because life got loud, responsibilities shifted, and the practice that once felt alive and nourishing became harder and harder to hold.They share what it felt like to step away from an active witchcraft practice, the guilt and weirdness of realizing they had let so much of it go, and the quiet ways the witchy thread was still there, waiting under the ashes. Then they talk about what finally helped them return: small rituals, honest conversations, nature, tarot, community, and remembering that witchcraft does not have to look the way it used to in order to be real.This is an episode for anyone who has ever felt like a bad witch, a tired witch, a disconnected witch, or a witch who left their broomstick in the corner for a few years and forgot where they parked it. The path is still there. Sometimes you just come back to it with more life behind you, better boundaries, and a lot less interest in doing witchcraft as a full-time unpaid job.Got a question?

In this episode, Laylla and Chelle sit down with Beck Ravenswood, owner of The Serpent's Key Shoppe & Sanctuary in Hanover, Pennsylvania, before their July 22nd court hearing in the fight against Pennsylvania's old fortune-telling law.Yep, in Pennsylvania, a law dating back to 1861 still makes paid fortune telling, including tarot reading, a criminal offense. Beck's case began after Hanover police visited their shop and warned them that offering tarot readings for money could lead to legal trouble. Now Beck is challenging that law in federal court, arguing that tarot reading is protected speech, spiritual practice, and a legitimate livelihood, not something that belongs under threat of arrest in the year 2026.We talk with Beck about what happened, why this law matters beyond one shop in Hanover, and how outdated laws can still be used to target witches, readers, and spiritual workers. We also discuss Pennsylvania House Bill 1562, introduced by Rep. Greg Scott, which would repeal Title 18 Section 7104 and remove the state's fortune-telling ban from the books.If you want to support the effort, contact Rep. Greg Scott's office and tell him you support HB 1562 and the repeal of Pennsylvania's fortune-telling law. You can call his Norristown office at 484-685-3494 or his Harrisburg office at 717-772-0749.

D'après le principe cosmologique qui sous-tend le modèle cosmologique standard ΛCDM, l'Univers devient statistiquement homogène et isotrope aux grandes échelles. Dans ce cadre, au-delà du régime non linéaire de formation des amas de galaxies, les caractéristiques inhomogènes et anisotropes devraient s'estomper rapidement. Mais cette vision est de plus en plus remise en question par le réseau complexe de structures et de vides à grande échelle qui est observé dans la distribution des galaxies, ainsi que par des études indépendantes qui rapportent de possibles écarts à grande échelle par rapport à l'homogénéité statistique et à l'isotropie.Aujourd'hui, deux astrophysiciens montrent à nouveau, dans un article paru dans Nature, que la distribution des galaxies présente des structures anisotropes qui sont persistantes et qui s'étendent jusqu'à des échelles de l'ordre du gigaparsec !

When you first learn tarot, there are the obvious troublemakers like Death, The Tower, The Devil, and most of the suit of swords,,,,that make beginners wonder if the deck is threatening them personally. But after years of reading, teaching, and pulling cards at kitchen tables, podcast tables, and probably a few slightly chaotic coffee tables, the cards that trip you up can start to change.In this episode, Laylla and Chelle talk about the tarot cards they personally struggle with now, and how those are different from the cards that tend to confuse or scare people when they first learn tarot.Chelle admits that the 6s and 7s can be especially confusing in a spread, and Laylla attempts to make sense of them through the very mundane metaphor of deep cleaning a room. And Laylla confesses that she thinks The hierophant is just kind of a dick.Grab a tarot deck, light a candle, and join us as we untangle the cards that confuse, challenge, and occasionally sass us from the table. Because sometimes the problem isn't that a card is scary. Sometimes the problem is that it is just annoyingly deep.Got a question?

This week on Back on the Broomstick, we welcome Irene Glasse; a witch, author, musician, former Marine, yoga teacher, tarot reader, Pagan clergy person, and the kind of guest who  seriously makes you wonder if (and how!) she has found a few extra hours hidden between the worlds.Irene joins us to talk about her book Foundations of Witchcraft, mystical practice, spiritwork, inclusive Heathenry, Freyja, community ritual, and what it really means to serve as Pagan clergy in the modern world. We also talk about Pagan festivals, the beautiful chaos of organizing magical people, and the very important discovery that Laylla and Chelle are basically two degrees of Kevin Bacon away from Irene.This conversation also touches on the recent Department of Defense decision to reduce the military's recognized religious affiliation codes from over 200 to 31, removing individual listings for many minority faiths and belief systems, including modern Pagan traditions, Wicca, Druidry, Unitarian Universalism, and atheism. As a former Marine and working Pagan religious professional, Irene brings a grounded and deeply personal perspective to why recognition, representation, and spiritual care matter.Light a candle, grab your favorite festival mug, and join us for a conversation about witchcraft, service, community, and the sacred work of keeping the doors open for seekers of many paths.Kindred CrowYoutubeGlasse Witch CottageFoundations of Witchcraft: A Blackfeather Mystery School Training ManualGot a question?

In this Midsummer daydream episode of Back on the Broomstick, Laylla and Chelle step through the veil of sleep and into the strange, symbolic, half-lit world of dream magick. Dreams have been treated as omens, messages, healing tools, and sacred journeys for thousands of years, from ancient dream temples to shamanic trance work, dream walking, and the modern practice of listening to the subconscious. But what does that mean for witches today?The witches talk about dreams as one of the most natural forms of trance work, a liminal space where the conscious mind softens, intuition rises, and your magical brain starts speaking in symbols, emotions, ancestors, archetypes, nightmares, and the occasional absolutely unhinged sleep-brain nonsense. They explore dream interpretation, personal symbolism, lucid dreaming, dream recall, dream incubation, and how to work with nightmares as shadow work instead of treating them as failures or bad omens.You'll also get practical tips for remembering your dreams, protecting your dream space, setting intentions before sleep, using herbs, teas, crystals, and simple spells to support dream work, and learning how to bring wisdom back from the dream realm into waking life. So grab your dream journal, fluff your pillow, and get ready to wander the night-side of magic.Got a question?

Got a question? Let us know!This week on Made for Mondays, Joe is joined by Heather, Doug, and Chelle as they continue unpacking Week 5 of Losing Myself. Looking at Exodus 17, they explore what happens when fear, criticism, and crowd pressure begin to shape our decisions—and how Moses learned to lead by seeking God's approval instead of the approval of people.Along the way, the team talks about herd mentality, handling criticism, why fear can distort trust, and what it looks like to follow Jesus when the crowd is pulling in a different direction. They also discuss one of the message's biggest takeaways: "I lead by seeking the approval of One."Plus, a conversation about the Bible Reading Challenge, a few stories from large crowds they've experienced, and practical ways to trust God instead of reacting to the loudest voices around us.Whether you're navigating criticism, leadership, people-pleasing, or simply trying to follow Jesus more faithfully, this episode offers encouragement and practical next steps for the journey.This week's key thought: I lead by seeking the approval of One.Be sure to subscribe, share the episode, and invite someone to join you this Sunday as we continue our Losing Myself series!Stay Connected Website: https://believerschurch.org/ Bible Reading Plan: https://believerschurch.org/bible-reading-plan/Believers Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/believerschurch.va/ Believers Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/believers_church/Subscribe to The Outlet: https://believerschurch.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=66f00f86238de86688d2480e6&id=729c3f381f

The sun is high, the days are long, the flowers are blooming, the herbs are going wild, and somehow your calendar has also decided to become an overgrown garden of obligations. Welcome to Litha, witches! In this episode of Back on the Broomstick, Laylla and Chelle celebrate the summer solstice, the longest day and shortest night of the year, by talking about what happens when all that solar energy starts to feel like a little too much. Litha is a season of fire, growth, joy, abundance, and everything blooming wild under the sun, but it can also be a time when life ramps up, the to-do list gets louder, and even your magic starts feeling like one more thing you're supposed to keep alive.So this year, we're looking at Litha through the eyes of the tired witch at midsummer. How do you stay connected to your craft when you're busy, overheated, overstimulated, broke, allergic to everything green, or just not in the mood to build an elaborate solstice altar? How do you let the sun warm you without burning you out?We'll share simple, practical, witchy ways to keep magic woven into your everyday life during the bright, busy rush of summer. From tiny solar rituals and sacred shade to ripening, boundaries, and tending your own light, this episode is a reminder that you do not have to do more to be magical. Sometimes the most powerful Litha spell is drinking some water, stepping into the shade, and remembering that even the sun knows when to rest.Karen's etsy shopSummer Magick and the Forgotten Sabbat68: Litha Stories, Spells, & Rituals - Myth of the Oak King & Holly King119: Midsummer Magick: Litha Lore and the Fair FolkGot a question?

Welcome back to the Solarium, witches.We've dusted off the chairs and tables, planted a few rows of herbs, brought in fresh candles and cushions, and stocked the shelves with plenty of tea, smokable blends, and magical conversation. So pull up a chair and settle into that warm, candlelit sanctuary where every chat feels just a little enchanted.In this Solarium review episode, Laylla and Chelle gather around the reading table to talk about the witchy books and oracle decks currently rattling around their brains and haunting their bookshelves in the best possible way.The episode begins with Tarot Tableau Revolution by Maria Alviz Hernando, a visually rich and imaginative exploration of tarot symbolism, storytelling, and layered interpretation that sparks a conversation about personal readings, artistic inspiration, and the strange poetry hidden inside the cards themselves. From there, the witches move deeper into the cauldron with Pagan Portals: Cerridwen by Danu Forest and Entering Hekate's Cauldron by Cyndi Brannen, exploring themes of transformation, initiation, crossroads magic, goddess devotion, and the sacred mysteries waiting in the darker corners of spiritual practice.Then the oracle decks come out, and the energy shifts.Laylla and Chelle discuss The Initiates Oracle by Marcella Kroll and Adam Smith, with its mystical atmosphere, initiatory themes, and the sense that some decks arrive less like tools and more like invitations through hidden doorways.But the true magical spark of the evening comes when the Solarium welcomes a very special guest: the legendary Judika Illes, author of The Magic Spells Oracle.Together, Laylla, Chelle, and Judika chat about spellcraft, magical traditions, oracle creation, intuitive practice, and the living heartbeat of magic itself. The conversation drifts from thoughtful and inspiring to delightfully chaotic in true broomstick fashion, creating the kind of intimate witchy gathering that feels like staying up far too late beside the fire while the incense burns itself down to ash.This episode is cozy, insightful, funny, and overflowing with magical inspiration for witches, readers, tarot lovers, deck collectors, and curious seekers alike. Expect book talk, oracle deck reviews, goddess lore, laughter, and at least one moment where everyone disappears down a wonderfully strange metaphysical rabbit hole.Pour yourself something warm, light a candle, and join Laylla, Chelle, and Judika Illes for an evening of books, cards, conversation, and candlelit magic beneath the glow of the broomstick lantern.Side effects may include compulsive deck collecting, sudden altar rearranging, and an urgent need to haunt your local occult bookstore.Got a question?

There is something deeply witchy about leaving your normal home, your normal bed, your normal coffee mug, and stepping into a place where the land does not already know your name.In this episode of Back on the Broomstick, Laylla and Chelle are packing up the magical bug spray and heading into the wilds to talk about witchcraft while camping, traveling, and wandering off to summer festivals. Whether you're sleeping under the stars, staying in a cabin, road-tripping to a sacred site, or setting up your tent at Brushwood, Dragonfest, Starwood, Mystic South, or Pagan Pride, travel has a way of pulling us out of our everyday patterns and into threshold space.The witches talk about how to set up camp respectfully, create temporary sacred space, connect with the quarters in a new landscape, and build a mini altar that won't take over your entire backpack. They explore offerings for the land, listening to local spirits, working with tree, stone, and place energy, and why “leave no trace” might be one of the most magical rules a witch can follow.They also wander into the idea of land guardians, festival grounds that hold years of ritual memory, and how to form a temporary connection with a place without trying to claim it, tame it, or accidentally bring home every bit of spiritual static clinging to your hiking boots.From gratitude rituals before leaving a campsite to practical witchy packing tips, this episode is all about staying enchanted on the road without making things complicated. Sometimes the most powerful altar is a picnic table, a lantern, a cup of camp coffee, and a quiet thank you whispered to the trees.Starwood Sankofa FestivalSirius Rising FestivalGot a question?

Blue Moons have long carried an air of mystery, rarity, and magic. But what actually makes a Blue Moon special? Is it truly more powerful than any other Full Moon, or is the magic found in the meaning we humans give it?In this episode of Back on the Broomstick, Laylla and Chelle unravel the folklore, history, and witchcraft surrounding the Blue Moon. From its strange linguistic origins in the courts of Henry VIII to the accidental modern definition created by an astronomer's mistake, we trace how this rare moon became spiritually iconic. Along the way, we explore lunar cycles, feminine mysteries, Sagittarius fire energy, the symbolism of the color blue, and why rare celestial events have always captured the witch's imagination.The witches also discuss the psychological and magical power of collective belief, the liminal nature of “extra” moons, and how modern witches can work with Blue Moon energy through intention-building, cleansing rites, manifestation work, and self-consecration under moonlight.This particular Blue Moon also happens to fall on Chelle's birthday, making the episode feel even more personal and perfectly timed. Honestly, if anyone was going to incarnate under a rare and slightly chaotic lunar event, it was probably Chelle.Laylla also shares the story of helping rescue an orphaned baby red squirrel and getting the tiny little chaos goblin safely into the hands of a licensed wildlife rehabber. We're linking the rehabber's wishlist here for anyone who would like to help support the care of injured and orphaned wildlife.Join us as we talk about magic, meaning, intention, and the human need to mark certain moments as sacred. Whether you're crafting a Blue Moon ritual, chasing a long shot dream, or simply standing outside under the night sky feeling something ancient stir in your bones, this episode is an invitation to reconnect with wonder, with nature, and with the wild rhythm of the cosmos.Animal Rescue RehabIncubator Donations Needed!Kaitlyn's Rehab Amazon Wish ListGot a question?

Between the wild green fire of Beltane and the golden blaze of Litha lives a season of pure enchantment. In this episode of Back on the Broomstick, Laylla and Chelle step into the lush, humming magic of early summer, where flowers burst open like spells, fireflies flicker over fields at dusk, and the land itself seems drunk on possibility.Together, they explore the magick “between the spokes” of the Wheel of the Year. That fertile stretch of time where passion becomes action, abundance begins to ripen, and we choose what deserves our energy, attention, and devotion. From Beltane's fertile spark to the radiant power of Litha, this episode is all about sustaining joy, feeding creativity, and falling back in love with life itself.The witches share practical everyday enchantments to help keep the season's energy moving. Think dandelion honey spells for sweetness and stubborn growth, mugwort dreamwork beneath open summer windows, and self love glamour magic designed to make you magnetic to your own spirit first and foremost. There's talk of daydreams as portals, summer as a season of manifestation, and the sacred art of romanticizing your own beautiful existence.This is an episode about living intentionally with the season instead of rushing through it. About remembering that your passion is your power. About noticing the way warm night air, cricket songs, blooming flowers, and long golden sunsets can become part of your spiritual practice if you let them.So grab an iced tea, light a candle, step barefoot into the grass, and join us for a cozy, witchy conversation about abundance, desire, beauty, and the living magic of summer.Got a question?

The cauldron is bubbling, the inbox is overflowing, and this week Laylla and Chelle are finally answering your questions… and oh, you brought some good ones.In this cozy, chaotic, wisdom-filled episode, the witches gather up your fan mail, your voicemails (yes, you can send those now!), and your late-night spiritual spirals, and they answer it all with the kind of honesty that only comes from decades of lived, practiced magic. It's part advice column, part coven circle, and part “wait… are we really talking about this right now?” energy.They wander through the wild terrain of tarot, where elemental associations get shaken up and turned on their head. What happens when swords feel like fire and wands start whispering like air? Is that wrong… or is that your intuition trying to speak? Laylla and Chelle unpack the history, the why, and the permission you didn't know you needed to read the cards your way.Then things get practical. When a single tarot pull leaves you squinting at the cards like, “girl, what do you mean?”, do you pull another? Reshuffle? Sit in the discomfort? The witches talk about trusting the conversation between you and the deck, and why sometimes clarity isn't about more cards, but more listening.From there, the questions get deeper. Can you cast multiple spells close together, or does that drain you dry like an oversteeped tea bag? What does real cleansing look like beyond TikTok trends and conflicting traditions? And maybe the most tender thread of all… how do you walk a spiritual path without losing your grip on reality?This episode gently but firmly explores the difference between spiritual experience and spiritual psychosis. Not with fear, but with care. No judgment, but with grounded, real-world wisdom. Because magic, as they remind us, should expand your life, not isolate you from it.And just when you think you've reached the end of the circle, they open a new door. A brand new PO Box. A chance to send something physical into the world. And for one lucky listener, the opportunity to receive a personalized spell pen pal letter crafted by the witches themselves. A little piece of magic, inked and intentional, arriving right at your doorstep.This one feels like sitting around the kitchen table long after the candles have burned low. Honest. Thoughtful. A little messy in the best way. The kind of episode that reminds you you're not alone on this path… even when you're figuring it out as you go.So grab your cards, your tea, maybe a notebook if you're feeling studious, and settle in.The witches are answering.Books:Tarot Deciphered: Decoding Esoteric Symbolism in Modern Tarot M M Meleen, T Susan Chang,Tarot Correspondences: Ancient Secrets for Everyday ReadersT.

What happens when a coworking operator gets completely fed up with their tech stack… and decides to build their own solution? That's exactly what Dan Wesson and Chelle Peterson did. Dan and Chelle are the co-founders of The Post Workspace and CoLevel, and I've known them since they went through Coworking Startup School back in 2018. It has been so fun to watch their journey from launching their space in Tucson to building a platform that's now helping operators all over the world. They didn't set out to create software. They just wanted to run a better coworking space. But after juggling Calendly, DocuSign, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, social schedulers, answering services… and still missing leads, still feeling overwhelmed, still wondering what was falling through the cracks… they hit a breaking point. So they fixed it. We talk about: – What they were actually dealing with behind the scenes before building CoLevel – The moment they realized their tech stack was holding them back – Why speed to lead is one of the biggest missed opportunities in coworking – How automation can increase hospitality (not replace it) – What it looks like to compete with larger operators without a big team If you've ever felt like your tech stack is running you instead of the other way around… this one will hit home.

Most spells don't fail because you lack power, they fail because you're casting from a mind that won't let the magic take hold. On this episode, Laylla gets practical about what actually makes spellwork land. Tools, intentions, and the words of spells are important, but your will and ability to gather energy is what powers the spell. And the place to find and work with that energy is within your mind in the alpha state.Laylla talks about what an alpha brain state really is from both a scientific and magical perspective, and why it's the sweet spot for raising and directing energy. This is the space where your mind quiets, your body comes online, and your intention stops getting tangled in doubt.The guided meditation Laylla references is from Laurie Cabot's Crystal Countdown Meditation in The Power of the Witch, a book that Chelle often talks about as her introduction to witchcraft and one that also sparked Laylla's path into hypnosis and interest in alpha states and their uses in spellcraft and magick.In this episode she'll explain how alpha differs from your everyday thinking state, how it connects to the subconscious, and why that matters for everything from visualization to manifestation. You'll hear how hypnosis fits into modern witchcraft, why your subconscious behaves more like a toddler than a scholar, and how to work with it instead of against it.This episode is about learning how to shift your internal state on purpose so your spells feel real, embodied, and effective. If you've ever felt like your magic looks right but doesn't quite click, this is the missing piece.Got a question?

155: Ostara vs Spring Equinox

Spring is here… but what, and when, exactly are we celebrating?In this episode of Back on the Broomstick, Laylla and Chelle take a deep look at the sometimes confusing relationship between Ostara and the Spring Equinox. Are they the same holiday? Two separate observances? Or two different ways of looking at the same turning of the Wheel?Chelle believes the Spring Equinox should be honored as a moment of balance, when light and dark stand in perfect equality. For her, it is a sacred astronomical turning point that invites reflection and grounding. Ostara, by contrast, represents the broader season of spring that unfolds afterward; the weeks when the earth fully awakens, flowers emerge, and life visibly returns. By separating the two, she creates space to honor both the stillness of balance and the joyful momentum of the growing season.Laylla brings the Wheel of the Year perspective, arguing that modern paganism intentionally weaves solar events and seasonal shifts together into a living spiritual rhythm rather than treating them as completely separate observances. In her view, the Spring Equinox acts as the doorway between seasons, its a liminal threshold where winter releases its hold and the growing year begins. Because the Equinox is a precise celestial moment experienced across the entire planet, she sees it as a powerful communal touchpoint, a shared sky-event that pagans everywhere can honor together. From there, the spirit of Ostara unfolds as the season itself in the gradual greening of the land, the returning birds, and the first flowers that appear at different times depending on where you live. In this way, the Equinox becomes the moment we step through the doorway together, while the weeks that follow invite us to celebrate the unique way spring arrives in our own local landscapes.Rather than a debate about who is “right,” the witches explore two powerful ways of working with the magic of spring: honoring the Equinox as the precise celestial turning point that brings the community together, while embracing the unfolding signs of spring; the first flowers, the returning birds, the thawing earth, as personal and local rituals that deepen our connection to the land.Along the way, Laylla and Chelle share how they personally celebrate the return of the light with simple seasonal practices. Laylla also shares an Equinox tarot spread designed to help you find balance between light and shadow at the turning point of the year.If you've ever wondered how history, modern witchcraft, and lived seasonal magic all fit together, this conversation offers thoughtful perspectives, practical inspiration, and a reminder that the turning of the Wheel is something we feel in our bones as much as we mark it on the calendar.So grab a cup of tea, step outside into the changing air, and join us as we explore the magic of Ostara and the sacred moment when light and dark meet in perfect balance.Got a question?
