Send us a textIn this episode of the Magick Kitchen Podcast, Leandra and Elyse Welles break down why Imbolc matters on the Wheel of the Year, especially when winter feels heavy and motivation is low. They explore the difference between quarter days (solstices and equinoxes) and the often-misunderstood cross-quarter days, and why these seasonal turning points can be the most supportive when we feel least connected.You'll also hear the roots of Imbolc as lambing season and its relationship to Candlemas, plus the heart of Brigid's Day, Brigid as a goddess of hearth, craft, and creativity, and the ways her presence bridges traditions. From purification and decluttering to fire as release, they offer a gentle, practical Imbolc approach that includes kitchen magic, seasonal foods, and simple correspondences without getting stuck in “doing it perfectly.”Download your free Imbolc Workbook- https://leandrawitchwood.com/resourcesLoose-leaf Tea and Sacred Apothecary The Healing Our Feminine Wounding Immersive is a sacred retreat devoted to untangling inherited shame, silence, and survival patterns carried in the feminine body.

EP:177 In this episode of Thrive Like a Parent, I'm walking you step-by-step through what really happened with the dishes in the sink and how I handled it—not just as a mom, but as a clinician who is always thinking about the brain. I share exactly how I parent my boys (9 and 12) with clear boundaries, natural consequences, and deep connection at the same time. You'll hear how I used our Hearth chore system, why I refused to bail them out after a full sink of dishes, and how I turned a frustrating moment into: A teachable moment about roles and responsibilities A reset on respect for our home, our helper, and each other A day of repair, reconnection, and true accountability We talk about: Why I refuse to choose between connection and boundaries How I parent for a healthy brain, not just a “happy in the moment” child The truth about gentle / conscious parenting culture and where it's gone too far Why keeping kids busy, productive, and capable actually supports their mental health What it really looks like to stay in the driver's seat of parenting—without screaming, shaming, or people-pleasing your kids If you feel like you're stuck in the passenger seat—walking on eggshells around one child, afraid to follow through on consequences, or worried you'll “break the connection” if you actually parent—you are not alone, and this episode is for you. If you're listening and thinking, “I have no idea where to start, but something has to change,” I'd love to support you. We're running a February special on our 1:1 coaching specifically focused on: Parenting dynamics Family roles and responsibilities Rebuilding connection while holding firm, calm boundaries If you're ready to get back in the driver's seat of your parenting: Send me a DM and tell me you heard this episode. Fill out the application (link in show notes / bio). Hop on a call with my team and see if this is the right next step for you. This is not a quick-fix, band-aid approach. It's real brain-based, long-term change—for you, your child, and your entire family system.

Today, I'm talking about the element of fire. This is the third episode in my series on the elements. Last fall, I explored water and wind, what they represent and how to work with them in everyday life. The Element of Fire When I say fire, I mean the flames that warm you, cook your food, clear land, and forge metal. Fire is one of the few elements that feels instantly familiar and deeply mysterious at the same time. You've sat in front of a fire and felt its heat. You've probably stared into the flames and lost track of time, almost like a meditation. That alone tells you something important. For thousands of years, fire has been far more than a tool. It has been treated as a presence, revered as a teacher, and even honored as a deity. Across cultures, fire has been seen as a messenger between worlds, a force that connects the visible and invisible. In classical and esoteric traditions, fire is one of the four primary elements, alongside earth, water, and air. It's associated with energy, passion, illumination, will, creation, destruction, and transformation. More than anything, fire is the element that changes things. Everything that touches fire is altered, and there is no undo button when it comes to flames. That's exactly why mystics, shamans, and alchemists paid such close attention to it. When I talk about fire as a spiritual element, I'm talking about a force that burns away what no longer serves, illuminates what's been hidden, and initiates transformation at a deep level. Fire is never subtle. Fire Across Time and Tradition If you look back through history, fire appears everywhere people were trying to understand life, death, and the unseen world. In ancient Greece, fire was considered a divine substance, famously stolen from the gods by Prometheus and given to humanity. That myth alone tells you how powerful fire was perceived to be. Fire wasn't just heat, it was consciousness, creativity, and civilization itself. In Vedic and yogic traditions, the fire element is called tejas. Tejas represents inner radiance, metabolic energy, and illumination. It's linked not only to digestion of food, but to digestion of experience, what you can process, integrate, and turn into wisdom. In Chinese philosophy, fire is one of five elements and is associated with the heart, joy, vitality, and spirit. When fire is balanced, there's warmth and enthusiasm for life. When it's excessive or depleted, it shows up as burnout, agitation, or a coldness of spirit. Celtic traditions placed fire at the center of seasonal festivals like Beltane and Samhain. Bonfires marked thresholds between worlds, protected communities, and ushered in new cycles. Fire was symbolic and practical. And in homes across the world, the hearth fire was the literal and energetic center of life. It's where food was prepared, stories were told, and decisions were made. The hearth was both sacred and ordinary. When we work with fire today, we're stepping into one of the oldest relationships humans have ever had with an element that could both sustain and destroy them. Fire demands respect and doesn't negotiate. In return, it offers truth by stripping away illusion and getting to the core. Builder, Destroyer, and Catalyst for Change One of the most important things to understand about fire is its dual nature. Fire is both a builder and a destroyer. People usually think of fire's destructive qualities, but destruction is not inherently bad. Fire clears old growth in the forest, so new life can emerge. It purifies, resets, and creates space. In alchemy and mysticism, this dual role is essential. Fire breaks structures down to their core components. From that essential place, something new can be formed. This mirrors an inner process many people experience, especially in midlife and beyond. There's often a moment when what used to work no longer does. Old identities might feel restrictive and old patterns can feel exhausting. Maybe there's an inner fire saying, “This cannot continue.” That inner fire isn't trying to make you uncomfortable, but working to realign you. Fire doesn't consider your comfort zone as it eliminates illusion to reveal the truth. Fire and Spiritual Alchemy In spiritual alchemy, fire is the heat that refines raw material into something clearer and more potent. Alchemists weren't just trying to turn lead into gold. They were working to transform fear, emotion, and confusion into insight and clarity. That doesn't happen without heat. Fire has long been described as a bearer of information, a force that accelerates transformation and amplifies subtle energy. In yogic and Buddhist traditions, balanced inner fire is linked with clear perception and intuitive awareness. You see more clearly. You digest experience instead of storing it as emotional baggage. This is why working with fire can feel clarifying and, at times, uncomfortable. Fire asks simple but powerful questions such as: What's ready to be released? What truth is trying to surface? What no longer fits? If you've ever sat in front of a candle and had an unexpected realization, you already know how fire speaks. The Hearth and Everyday Alchemy For most of human history, the hearth fire represented safety, nourishment, and belonging. In Greek tradition, Hestia was the goddess of the hearth, embodying stillness and presence. In Irish tradition, Brigid carried the triple flame of hearth, forge, and inspiration, overseeing care, craft, and creativity. Cooking over fire is everyday alchemy. Raw ingredients are transformed into nourishment through heat, time, and attention. When you cook with awareness or light a candle with intention, you're already working with fire as an ally. Fire for Manifesting and Divining Fire has also long been used for manifestation and divination. It creates momentum – just think of how a fire spreads so rapidly. Fire also shifts things from one state to another, responding to clarity and sincerity, rather than force or desperation. Across traditions, people burned symbols of what they wanted to release or manifest. Watching something physically transform signals completion to your nervous system. The flames help the body and psyche understand that a shift has occurred. Fire has also been used for divination, especially using a candle. Observing how a flame moves, steadies, flares, or resists lighting has long been a way of engaging intuition. Fire helps you reflect on what's already present rathern than telling you what to do. One of the easiest ways to work with fire is by candle gazing, a practice found in yogic traditions called tratakah. Watching the flame steadies the mind, quiets mental chatter, and brings clarity. Listen to the podcast to discover several simple fire practices in the podcast. Message from the Element of Fire Intuitively. I've connected with the element of fire. A couple of years ago, my friend Krista and I sat in front of a fire. Suddenly she suggested we should “talk to the fire.” I was surprised, and honestly delighted, when I actually heard something. I had been told it takes years of training to speak with the elements. That's no longer true. The energy on earth moves faster now. The veil is thinner. Many people have a higher vibration today. What I heard from the fire was simple and unmistakable: “I am powerful. I am destructive. I am creative. I am transformative. I am beautiful. I am warmth. I am dancing. I am passion.” That sounds exactly like fire, doesn't it? Fire teaches through warmth and light, but also through endings and change. When you work with fire, you're can't control it. You're partnering with a force that knows how to transform everything it touches. You listen, respect, and collaborate. Sometimes, that's exactly the kind of magic you need. The post How To Use The Fire Element To Transform Your Life appeared first on Intuitive Edge.

Transcript:Da: Varmen fra kaminen spredte sig langsomt i rummet.En: The warmth from the fireplace slowly spread through the room.Da: Udenfor dansede de små snefnug lydløst i vinden.En: Outside, the small snowflakes danced silently in the wind.Da: Indenfor, i en lille hyggelig tebutik ved Nyhavn Kanal, samlede Lars, Freja og Nicoline sig omkring et bord.En: Inside, in a small cozy tea shop by Nyhavn Canal, Lars, Freja, and Nicoline gathered around a table.Da: De store vinduer indrammede udsigten til de snedækkede gader, de farverige kanalhuse, som de altid havde elsket.En: The large windows framed the view of the snow-covered streets and the colorful canal houses, which they had always loved.Da: Lars kiggede på sine søstre.En: Lars looked at his sisters.Da: Varmen fra teen opmuntrede ham til at finde ordene, som han ellers havde haft svært ved at finde.En: The warmth from the tea encouraged him to find the words that he had otherwise struggled to find.Da: "Far elskede dette sted," begyndte han, mens han rakte ud efter sin kop.En: "Dad loved this place," he began, as he reached for his cup.Da: "Jeg tænkte, vi kunne mindes ham her."En: "I thought we could remember him here."Da: Freja, midterbarnet, krammede sin kop tæt og nikkede.En: Freja, the middle child, hugged her cup close and nodded.Da: Hun havde mistet flere tårer, end hun kunne tælle, siden deres far var gået bort.En: She had shed more tears than she could count since their father had passed away.Da: Nicoline, den yngste, sad stille, hendes øjne betragtede dampen der steg op fra hendes kop, som om den kunne indeholde de svar, hun så desperat søgte.En: Nicoline, the youngest, sat quietly, her eyes observing the steam rising from her cup, as if it could hold the answers she so desperately sought.Da: "Jeg ved, vi sørger forskelligt," fortsatte Lars forsigtigt.En: "I know we grieve differently," Lars continued cautiously.Da: "Men jeg vil have, at vi som familie støtter hinanden."En: "But I want us, as a family, to support each other."Da: Freja rystede på hovedet, tårerne truede igen.En: Freja shook her head, her tears threatening again.Da: "Jeg har følt skyld, Lars," sagde hun stille.En: "I've felt guilty, Lars," she said quietly.Da: "Jeg nåede aldrig at fortælle ham, hvor meget jeg elskede ham."En: "I never got to tell him how much I loved him."Da: Nicoline så op.En: Nicoline looked up.Da: Hendes øjne, store og lidt bange, mødte Frejas.En: Her eyes, large and a little scared, met Freja's.Da: "Jeg er bange for at miste jer også," sagde hun stille.En: "I'm afraid of losing you too," she said softly.Da: "Efter far forsvandt, føles alt bare...En: "After Dad disappeared, everything just feels...Da: løsrevet."En: disjointed."Da: Lars satte sin kop ned og strakte sig over bordet for at tage Nicolines hånd.En: Lars put his cup down and reached across the table to take Nicoline's hand.Da: "Vi er stadig her," sagde han med rolig stemme.En: "We're still here," he said in a calm voice.Da: "Og vi kan tale om alt."En: "And we can talk about anything."Da: Freja tog en dyb indånding.En: Freja took a deep breath.Da: "Jeg har brug for jer begge," sagde hun.En: "I need both of you," she said.Da: "Jeg er klar til at lytte og tale."En: "I'm ready to listen and talk."Da: Snefnuggene udenfor blev mere stille, som om verden lyttede med.En: The snowflakes outside became quieter, as if the world was listening.Da: Lars mærkede en tung vægt løfte fra sine skuldre.En: Lars felt a heavy weight lift from his shoulders.Da: Her, midt i de varme træskiver og under de bløde lysstråler, fandt de tre søskende noget, der mindede om fred.En: Here, amidst the warm wooden planks and under the soft light beams, the three siblings found something resembling peace.Da: De talte om mindet om deres far.En: They talked about the memories of their father.Da: Hans latter, hans visdom, og de små ting, han havde gjort til hverdag.En: His laughter, his wisdom, and the little things he did every day.Da: De begyndte at smile gennem tårerne.En: They began to smile through their tears.Da: Deres forskellige måder at huske og sørge forvandlede sig til tråde, der siksakkede sig over bordet og bandt dem tættere sammen.En: Their different ways of remembering and grieving transformed into threads that zigzagged across the table, binding them closer together.Da: Da de forlod tebutikken den aften, gik de ud i den kolde vinterluft som en stærkere familie.En: When they left the tea shop that evening, they stepped into the cold winter air as a stronger family.Da: Lars vidste, at de aldrig ville miste det bånd, deres far havde elsket så meget.En: Lars knew that they would never lose the bond their father had loved so much.Da: Det nye år bragte dem perspektiver på deres tab og en forståelse for hinandens styrker.En: The new year brought them perspectives on their loss and an understanding of each other's strengths.Da: I steder hvor sneen stillede det hele, fandt de en ny begyndelse i det gamle tehus ved Nyhavn.En: In places where the snow quieted everything, they found a new beginning in the old tea house by Nyhavn.

Dominic is joined again by the inimitable Dr. Lydia Craig where they dive into Dickens' third Christmas Book, with readings from the award-winning actress Penelope RawlinsThe Cricket On The Hearth - published 180 years ago this year - explodes into life from the very start and hardly pauses for breath until the very end. Its unrelenting pace sweeps its characters along whether they be human, animal, insect or household object … Centred around that fabled victorian fireside. Where dreams and visions appear happy in the glowing light but depressed in the shadows, there sits John Peerybingle with his pipe. His occupation as a carrier brings one of the many Christmassy elements to the book, in his daily round of delivering parcels out in the raw Winter weather. His wife Dot - as in the brightest little star that ever shone - is a young, energetic woman, who races about their home.Another Christmassy element in this story is the occupation of Toy-making. Enter Caleb Plummer and his blind daughter Bertha who make Dolls for the nasty, crab-faced Tackleton.And tearing in and out is the excited dog, Boxer seen as a spec in the distance one moment, then suddenly up close with his wet nose pressed into your face …Last but not least, is the magical Cricket ...HAPPY CHRISTMAS !!!Intro Music and Additional SFX provided under license by Epidemic Sound Support the showIf you'd like to make a donation to support the costs of producing this series you can buy 'coffees' right here https://www.buymeacoffee.com/dominicgerrardThank you so much!Host: Dominic GerrardSeries Artwork: Léna GibertOriginal Music: Dominic GerrardThank you for listening!

Winter is the deep dive into the void. It seems empty. Lonely even. But this is the season where everything is born. The Winter Solstice is the darkest night. It's time to start our return to the light. In this episode, we are closing down the year with honor to the light, in reverence to the fruitful darkness. The necessary spaces of stillness and emptiness. When there is nowhere to go and nothing else to be done. Can you stay? Can you tend the hearth? Can you chop wood and carry water when the party is over?

Welcome back to the holiday season at the Video Store Podcast. I'm back today with another edition of Rankin/Bass B-Sides. I love Rankin/Bass so much, and they're part of just about every holiday season for me. Here are four more lesser-known Rankin/Bass B-Sides for you to enjoy this holiday season. And bonus! If you missed it last year, go back and check out my original edition of “Rankin/Bass B-Sides.”Cricket on the Hearth (1967)Starring Danny and Marlo Thomas as father/daughter duo Caleb and Bertha, this is a heartwarming adaptation of a lesser-known Charles Dickens Christmas classic. This special has great tunes, and the titular cricket, Cricket Crocket, is voiced by brilliant character actor Roddy McDowall. This special also features the talents of Ed Ames, Hans Conried, Paul Frees, and singer Abbe Lane. The First Christmas: The Story of the First Christmas Snow (1975)Can a young orphaned shepherd boy find a new home and still keep his sheep? This special is notable for its beautiful animation, songs, and stars the late, great Angela Lansbury as Sister Theresa. Cozy up under a wool blanket and with some wool socks, and join us for this lesser-known Christmas special. The Stingiest Man in Town (1978)Based on the stage musical of the same name, this is an animated adaptation of Charles Dickens' iconic novela, A Christmas Carol. This animated musical features the talents of Walter Matthau as Scrooge, Tom Bosley as B. A. H. Humbug, our insect narrator, voice acting legend Paul Frees as the ghosts of Christmas Past and Present, among others. The music in this special is top-tier, so be sure to check it out, especially if you love a song and dance number in your holiday specials. Jack Frost (1979)This iconic mythologizing of this winter sprite, Jack Frost, is a fish-out-of-water tale as Jack learns to be human. Can he win the heart of the girl he loves and remain human? This is a special with catchy tunes and loads of fun. You'll feel a chill in the air, but warmth in your heart. Thanks again for joining us at the Video Store Podcast.

Send us a textWell, this is it, folks! We made it to the finale. Season 2, our Tour of the Great Wheel, is over and we gather together to discuss the season as a whole. The Highs, the Lows; all the Bits. We also look back a bit on the show as a whole; storytelling and tangents alike. As a special treat, Seth gave us a fuller description of his character Daq, in our upcoming D&D novel. He's going to be a delight to travel along with. Look forward to one last Second Wind in two weeks, on "dee-20-eth", with a few last bits of banter and clarification. 

THIS WEEK'S MESSAGE: Today's Fireside has us contemplating and discussing what it looks like for this Winter season to feel sacred to each of us as we walk through it. The darkness of shorter days feels like a womb, an invitation into a pause... what wants to come through right now? What might a slower pace yield? What also happens when we lean into the truth that rest IS productive and feeds our creativity, innovation, AND creates grounded, centered, aligned living if we'll listen! What will make this season sacred for you? I also shared that I've created a very special series of guided visualizations and meditations called Hearth for the Holidays. Each Monday and Thursday from (started 11/17/25 through 1/1/26), you'll receive an email with a letter written to your heart and a reminder with a link to the audio for that day. Everything will be shared via Google drive and you will have one year to access everything there and/or to make copies to save for your own personal uses indefinitely. PRICING Hearth for the Holidays is priced at $44, but I know that we're all navigating some stretchy and uncertain times. I want to meet any and all of you where you are, so if you can only afford $20, $10 or even $5, please reach out to me (502-418-2496 or evelynfuson@gmail.com) and we'll get you all squared away.

Whether you're an emerging leader or a seasoned CEO, Christy's practical approach offers a roadmap for leading with clarity, empathy, and confidence.ABOUT CHRISTYChristy Pietryga is the CEO at HEARTH in Pittsburgh, PA, and brings a deep background in supportive services and housing for homeless families and veterans.

In this special Thanksgiving episode of the Small Scale Life Podcast, we gather around the hearth — the ancient symbol of warmth, nourishment, and connection — to explore gratitude, community, and the lessons we learn from the changing seasons. Whether your “hearth” is a wood stove, kitchen table, fire pit, or simply a calm moment at the end of a long day, this episode is about returning to what matters: Slowing down. Giving thanks. Growing gratitude. Building connection. Bring your coffee and coffee cake or donuts....let's chat as we learn, do, grow and be a little better everyday!

We are Virginia Sole-Smith and Corinne Fay and it's time for your Indulgence Gospel — Thanksgiving Edition! We often skip an episode drop on this day, but given how high pressure Thanksgiving can be for food, bodies and people, we thought...maybe you need a little Indulgence Gospel, a little Butter, and a little distraction from whatever your holiday weekend entails?We've got you: A Helen Rosner-inspired fashion epiphany. Thoughts and feelings about Black Friday. A very good Corinne clothing rant.Our secret shame places. And more! You do need to be a paid Just Toast subscriber to listen to this full conversation. Membership starts at just $5 per month! Join Just Toast! Don't want an ongoing commitment? Click "buy for $4!" to listen to just this one.

Advent calls us to ready our lives for what is to come. As carefully as we prepare our homes, how might we prepare our hearts and spirits for the season ahead? Breaking Open Series Based on the beloved hymn "People, Look East," this Advent series invites us into a season of waiting that is also a season of preparing, softening, and opening. We will notice what is breaking open in us and around us — moments when cracks let in light, when hearts stretch to hold both sorrow and hope, and when breaking open becomes a path to transformation. Our journey begins with an exploration of preparation that looks beyond the visible tasks of the season to the deeper work of readying our hearts and spirits for what lies ahead. We will plant seeds of possibility in seemingly barren ground, trusting in growth we cannot yet see. We will join in the joy and wonder of our community's Christmas pageant, welcoming the light that children so naturally carry. And we will create space for the tender truths of this season, acknowledging that sorrow and struggle are also part of our Advent journey, and that even in those places, healing and hope can take root. First Unitarian Church of Dallas is devoted to genuine inclusion, depth and joy, reason and spirit. We have been a voice of progressive religion in Dallas since 1899, working toward a more just and compassionate world in all of what we do. We hope that when you come here your life is made more whole through experiences of love and service, spiritual growth, and an open exploration of the divine.

When the world feels heavy, many of us reach for books. Today's guest is looking for a specific style of comfort reads. Jemima Welsh is joining Anne today all the way from Brisbane, Australia, where she lives with her family and her pets, including four chickens named for the March sisters.  Right now, Jemima is specifically looking for books that feel, quite literally, close to home. She's looking for stories that feature warm, rambling houses, complex but inherently lovable and perhaps found families, and scenes of cheerful domesticity.  Anne shares ideas for Jemima and other readers seeking a similar reading experience.
