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?

The hosts of BotB explore one of the most asked questions in modern witchcraft: Who is psychic? And the answer might surprise you… it's probably everyone.Instead of treating psychic ability like a rare supernatural power, this episode looks at it the way many witches actually experience it: as a natural form of expanded perception that can be practiced, strengthened, and understood. The witches break down what psychic abilities really are, how they show up in everyday life, and why so many people have intuitive experiences without realizing that's what they are.They talk about the different ways psychic perception can appear, including the well-known “clairs” like clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, and claircognizance, as well as common intuitive experiences like sensing the energy in a room, getting a sudden gut feeling, noticing synchronicities, or having meaningful dreams.From there, the episode explores how witches actually discover their intuitive strengths. That includes paying attention to patterns in your own experiences, experimenting with tools like tarot and divination, and using practices like dream journaling and meditation to tune into subtle signals from the subconscious mind. You'll hear practical techniques for strengthening intuitive awareness, including meditation, grounding, energy sensing exercises, and dream magic practices designed to encourage intuitive dreams and improve dream recall.Psychic ability is about learning to listen to the awareness that was already there, So whether you're already comfortable with your intuition or you're just beginning to wonder if you might be more psychic than you thought, this episode offers a grounded, witchy look at developing your inner senses and learning to trust the quiet signals of intuition.Previous Episode on Psychic AbilitiesGot a question?

Another major first time move in the most powerful group on Earth. First lady Melania Trump has taken the gavel at the UN Security Council and ended a 70 year precedent. It's strategic visibility. America doesn't act restrained or pretend. The highest expression of power is dominance with grace. Speak softly, and always with that stick. Unseen and unfunded agendas often involve children. Symbols become precedents. Then precedents become the new normal. Defining leadership is a new ball game today. Dominance without humiliation. Nobody is talking about nukes. Internal data base leaks are deliberate by federal employees. Pray for all the people losing their lives. The UFO show is coming up. The zoomies are getting very bold. The Texas elections seem spotty. Some book deal instructions. Read your Bible to learn this. Karma is not always a pleasant teacher.

Spring doesn't arrive politely, and neither does real change.In this episode, we're talking about Ostara as it actually feels in your bones, not just the pastel version with bunnies and eggs. We explore the equinox as a hinge point, the only time when light and dark are truly balanced, and why that balance creates tension, storms, and movement. From ancient equinox observances aligned to the sun, to the modern Pagan celebration of Ostara shaped by the Wheel of the Year, we unpack where this sabbat comes from and what it's asking of us now.We share a couple of easy & witchy ways to prepare for the season, including an Ostara egg spell where hidden sigils are revealed in dye and old stress is literally smashed and returned to the earth. This is about messy becoming, cracking shells, and walking straight through the storm toward what you actually want.If you've been feeling restless, scattered, or called to finally start something you've been planning since Imbolc, this one's for you.Got a question?

On this episode, the witches sit down with Jane Matthews, Director of the World Divination Association, rune reader, author, medium, and teacher whose work weaves ancient symbols into modern, embodied magic.Jane joins Chelle and Laylla from Northern Ireland to talk Ogham, sigils, and practical divination, and how these systems help us reconnect with our own inner wisdom. We chat about learning to actually trust your intuition, reading tarot or runes for everyday mundane stuff just because you can (and because practice builds relationship), and even pulling cards or staves about something that already happened yesterday as a way to sharpen your symbolic language and spot your own patterns. Naturally, this leads to journaling about it. And somewhere along the way, Laylla uncovers an unexpected connection between Ogham and The Rocky Horror Picture Show… yeah, we don't fully know how that happened either.Jane is the author of Sigils: A Tool for Manifesting and Empowerment and her new Ogham deck and guidebook Ogham: Divining in the Celtic Way comes out March 2nd, 2026If you've been curious about Ogham, sigils, or working with symbols as living allies in your craft, this conversation is a beautiful place to begin.Jane MatthewsOgham: Divining in the Celtic Way (25-Card Deck and 192-Page Guidebook)World DivinationGot a question?

On this episode we're sitting down with Molly Donlan. Witch, energy worker, certification collector, and co-host of Demystify Magic. Molly is also celebrating the release of her brand new book, Mundane Magic: A Lazy Witch's Guide to Hacking Your Brain, Building a Daily Practice, and Getting Stuff Done. This conversation drops February 13th, just days before her book hits shelves on the 17th, which is the perfect moment to talk superstition, Friday the 13th vibes, and how to turn everyday life into spellwork without burning yourself out. We even have a game show where Laylla quizzes Molly and Chelle on their Friday the 13th superstition knowledge, equal parts chaos, laughter, and witchy trivia. Molly shares how she went from skeptic to someone who found a grounded blend of magic and science that actually works. Her approach is practical, trauma-informed, sensory, and surprisingly hilarious. We talk about transforming chores into enchantment, paying bills like it's a ritual, vacuuming like it's a clearing spell, and why “stirring your tea with intention” is just the beginning. Her work grew out of her own ADHD practice and the real-life problem areas her audience brought to her, starting on Instagram as a way to be witchy every single day without it becoming another item on a guilt list. We also get into brain hacking, and the magic of engaging the senses to regulate your nervous system, and a mood elevating meditation involving a surprising kitchen utensil that will absolutely make you laugh and accidentally fix your mood. If you've ever struggled with consistency, motivation, executive function, or feeling like you're failing at your practice, this episode is for you. This is magic that meets you in the laundry room, at the sink, in the middle of a messy day, and whispers, “You can work with this.”Molly's WebsiteReiki classes with MollyDemystify Magic PodcastTHE BOOK!!Got a question?

Hexing the patriarchy isn't ineffective because witches aren't powerful. It's ineffective because systems don't respond to tantrums, they respond to pressure points. In this episode of Busy, Gritty, Inked, and Witchy, Morgan breaks down why "hex the patriarchy" spellwork continues to fizzle out despite massive participation from witches around the world. Using real-world examples, energetic logic, and decades of lived witchcraft experience, she explains why vague, unfocused baneful magick rarely creates change and what actually does work instead. This episode dives into the energetic mechanics behind systems of power, why targeting massive structures without a clear focus drains spellwork, and how witches can shift from reactionary magick to strategic, effective workings that align with existing currents rather than fighting against them. Morgan also clearly explains the difference between jinxes, hexes, and curses, why true curses are rare, why most people are not actually cursed, and how misunderstanding baneful magick leads to burnout, fear, and ineffective spellcasting. The second half of the episode focuses on five magickal strategies that are far more effective than hexing the patriarchy, including karmic acceleration spells, targeting roles instead of systems, obscuring influence rather than attacking directly, strengthening resistance through community-focused magick, and reclaiming personal power as a political and magickal act. This episode is raw, unapologetic, and deeply practical. It's not about love-and-light bypassing or screaming into the void. It's about learning how to work the long game and understanding how real power moves. In this episode, Morgan covers: Why hexing the patriarchy doesn't work energetically The problem with vague spell targets and massive systems Jinxes vs hexes vs curses explained clearly Why curses are rare and often misunderstood What karmic acceleration spells are and why they work Why Saturday (Saturn) is ideal for consequence-based magick How to target roles instead of political systems Obscuring influence, stripping credibility, and confusing messaging Strengthening resistance through witchcraft and community support Why reclaiming personal power is inherently political How witches can stop reacting and start practicing strategic magick

What if someone had pulled you aside when you first started practicing and told you the stuff that actually matters?In this episode, we're sharing five things we truly wish we'd known at the beginning of our witchcraft journeys. Not the aesthetic advice. Not the influencer version of magic. The real lessons you usually learn through trial, error, and the occasional smoke alarm.We talk about grounding (both the energetic kind and the nervous system kind), why you should stop waiting to feel “ready” and just do the spell already, how much stuff you really don't need, and why unlearning old programming is just as important as collecting new knowledge. This is an episode about permission. Permission to be imperfect. Permission to rest. Permission to change your mind. Permission to make mistakes and keep going anyway.Whether you're brand new to witchcraft or decades in, consider this a cozy check-in from two witches who have definitely learned some things the hard way.Grab your tea.

Season 8 - Burn Book Entry January 2026 Name: Agnes Sign: Virgo Craft: Folk magic, curse-adjacent Notes: Stole my familiar. Claims she “doesn't hex anymore", but that's a lie. Bad vibes. Would not circle cast with again. — This week on Witch, Yes!, we are slowly, intentionally, and with full eye contact, cracking open the collective burn book of history to discuss witchy beefs. The rivalries. The feuds. The cheek, the nerve, the audacity, the gall, and the gumption! From pamphlet wars and public accusations to coven fallouts and spiritual power struggles, we're serving a deep dive into the drama and asking the real question: when magic meets mess, who's getting the bad edit? Consider this episode a loving reminder that enlightenment doesn't stop you from throwing shade, and history? Oh, history always remembers the read. Light a candle. Ward your circle. And remember: some names end up in the Book of Shadows… others end up in the burn book.

In this episode we're settling into that long, liminal stretch between Imbolc and Ostara. The snow is still hanging around, the days are technically getting longer but it doesn't always feel like it, and seasonal cranky shut in disorder is very real. This is a quiet and often deeply cold time of the year, where hope flickers but hasn't fully taken shape yet. That's exactly why we're focusing on everyday magick. The simple, doable, low effort kind that helps you keep going when getting out of bed already feels like a heroic act.We share some of our favorite mundane spells that gently weave magic into the rhythm of daily life. Morning candle work for setting one small intention. Decluttering spells that help reset the energy of your space when the vibes are off. Bag and wallet magic to make room for abundance. Even the humble act of making your bed becomes a spell for nervous system care, protection, and coming home to yourself at the end of the day. This isn't about doing everything. It's about doing one thing with presence.Chelle also brings forward a tarot thread she's been holding for this season, a simple and reflective way of working with the cards as we move from Imbolc's inward spark toward Ostara's outward growth. Think less pressure, more conversation with the cards. Tarot as companion, not assignment.We also talk about how to work magic with your houseplants during this time of year. From tending them as living spell anchors to using them as allies for growth, renewal, and intention setting, especially when the outside world is still frozen. Your plants know spring is coming, even if the ground hasn't caught up yet. There's wisdom there.This episode is for anyone who feels tired, restless, or quietly hopeful. For witches who want to stay connected without burning themselves out. For those of us who need reminders that small rituals matter, and that light returns slowly, but it does return.So grab your tea, check in with your plants, and come sit with us for a bit. We're getting through late winter together, one simple spell at a time.Got a question? Send the witches a message here!Support the showWant to send us a letter?

Beyond Maiden, Mother, and Crone, there is another face of the Goddess. One that is rarely named, often hidden, and deeply powerful.In this episode of Back on the Broomstick, we continue our Deity Series by exploring the Fourth Face of the Goddess, the Dark Moon. Sometimes called the Warrior, sometimes the Queen, sometimes the Sovereign, this is the aspect that emerges when we stop performing who we were told to be and start living from our truth.We'll revisit the roots of the Triple Goddess archetype and talk about why it no longer tells the full story. From there, we step into the hidden phase. The one associated with mastery, authority, boundaries, and intentional power. This is the phase where wisdom sharpens instead of softens, where confidence grows quieter and stronger, and where sovereignty becomes lived rather than imagined.We talk about how this archetype shows up around midlife and menopause, but also how it can emerge at any point in life when you claim yourself fully. We explore the light and shadow of the Queen, the responsibility that comes with power, and why patriarchal systems have always been threatened by this phase of feminine authority.You'll also hear practical ways to recognize and work with this energy in your everyday life, along with a meditation spell to call in and honor the Dark Moon within yourself.If you've ever felt like you've outgrown old roles, old expectations, or even old versions of your magic, this episode is for you. The hidden face is not gone. She's been waiting.Light a candle, pour your tea, and join us as we stand in the dark and remember who we are.Got a question?

In this episode, the witches welcome the quiet, hopeful turning of the wheel with a deep dive into Imbolc, the ancient Celtic festival that marks the halfway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. Traditionally celebrated around February 1st and 2nd, Imbolc is a threshold moment, when the land is still cold and dark, but the return of the light has begun. Laylla and Chelle explore Imbolc's roots, its meaning of “in the belly,” and its long association with new life, purification, and preparation.They talk about the goddess Brigid, her sacred flame, poetry, prophecy, and craft, as well as her deep connections to hearth, milk, and inspiration. The conversation also weaves in other powerful figures of the season, including the Cailleach, whose weather on Imbolc foretells the length of winter, and Danu, whose fertile waters and ancient presence remind us that life is already stirring beneath the surface. From there, the episode turns practical. Laylla and Chelle talk about how to celebrate Imbolc today, from candle magic to house cleansing and protection work. They explore why cleaning and warding at Imbolc is so powerful, especially when the festival aligns with a full moon, and share a wealth of simple but potent practices including ritual sweeping, boundary-setting, witch bottles, mirror wards, eggshell protection, and working with house spirits.The episode also includes a detailed look at Brigid's Fire Tarot Spread, a ten-card layout shaped like a rising flame that helps you see what you're building, what's stirring, and what you're truly reaching for as the year unfolds toward Beltane. Grounded, hopeful, and deeply intentional, this episode invites you to tend your inner fire, clear winter's residue, and prepare your space, your spirit, and your magic for the season of growth ahead.Got a question?

Happy New Year witches! A huge welcome back to the show! This new Year is feeling powerful - and, if you're a Witch into manifesting magic - aka creating your magical life - then I want to share and invite you to our free taster event coming up this Thursday. I'll be leading circle in our Meet your Witch ceremony - if you've enjoyed listening to the show, and you're feeling called by some strange pull to taking the tender first steps with your Witch, I invite you to join us in this heart-opening ceremony where you'll begin to open to your heart's deeper vision.  Which is very apt for today's show - you can join us at https://meetyourwitch.eventbrite.co.uk/ - claim your free ticket and step into 2026 from your Witchy power! And yes, there's a replay so we will send that if you can't join live. On the Secret Witch Show today, Nicole opens the New Year with a deep, magical exploration of what it truly means to create a vision from soul rather than strategy. She speaks to the Secret Witch who longs for manifestation yet fears it, who has learned to either hustle or rebel, who wants to step into her Creatrix power but feels blocked by doubt, burnout, resistance or confusion about what she even desires. Nicole invites us into a different way of creating - one rooted in the Feminine, in 'feeling' rather than 'thinking', and in allowing our hearts to reveal the woman we long to become. In this episode we explore why strategic visioning often collapses our magic, how the Witch can find the 'Third Way' beyond push-or-collapse, and why soul visions feel impossible, terrifying and wildly honest. Nicole shares the personal initiations that shaped her own vision - including withdrawing her daughter from school, and recreating her entire life around creating a soul-business and soul-led homeschooling - a dream that once felt utterly impossible. Through story and deeper teachings of the laws of manifestation, she guides you toward opening your heart, illuminating your resistance, and beginning to discover the soul vision held quietly in the fabric of your cells. What You'll Learn from this Episode: A soul vision can only be accessed through feeling, embodiment and the heart - not through thinking, strategy or the logical Masculine "what do I want?" approach The Witch's true creative power emerges when she moves beyond both poles of hustling /forcing and collapsing/rebelling — and enters the 'Third Way' of soul-led creation Manifestation is not about figuring out the HOW, it's about holding a heart-led, impossible-feeling vision while tending the wounds and shadows that pull us away from it We are always creating - but without a soul vision, we unconsciously create from wounding, fear, doubt and the unmet needs of our inner little girl A true soul vision will feel confronting, unrealistic or even terrifying, because it reveals the deeper truth of who we are and calls us into our power and possibility Soul creation requires vulnerability and courage - the willingness to trust the mystery, meet resistance honestly, and take aligned action even when the path feels impossible or unclear - but it's worth it!

Welcome back to the deity series as the witches turn their attention to the Crone Goddess. In this episode, Laylla and Chelle explore what the Crone represents in modern witchcraft and how this powerful aspect of divinity shows up in real lives, not just at the end of a cycle, but anywhere wisdom, boundaries, and deep knowing are required.They talk honestly about their own relationships to the Crone. Chelle feels ready to step fully into that phase, while Laylla is… not quite there yet. Along the way, they unpack the strengths of the Crone archetype, the cultural prejudices she faces, and why fear of aging and power has shaped how this goddess is often misunderstood or avoided.The episode also includes practical tools for connection and reflection, including a tarot spread and a journaling exercise designed to help you explore the different aspects of the goddess within yourself. As the year shifts from 2025 to 2026, Laylla shares a meditation spell to connect with the Crone's liminal wisdom, offering guidance for standing at the threshold of time with clarity, courage, and intention.Got a question?

In this New Year's Eve episode of Back on the Broomstick, the witches gather in the space between the year that has been and the year that is about to be. This is a liminal space between the old and the new. Laylla and Chelle talk about why setting intentions often feels more powerful and sustainable than making resolutions, and how choosing a single power word for the year ahead can act as a magical anchor when the road gets twisty.The witches also touch on the currently popular 13 Wishes spell (sometimes called or Rauhnächte) and how it fits into New Year and liminal space magic. Laylla offers a slightly revised version of the working, thoughtfully adapted to better suit Chelle's limited attention span and real-world witchcraft needs, proving once again that magic works best when it's practical, flexible, and personal.They also share a reflective tarot spread designed to look back at the year that's ending, helping you name what you're ready to leave behind, what still needs tending, and what lessons are coming with you into the new cycle. It's a gentle, honest way to close the year without rushing or forcing transformation before it's ready.As the clock ticks toward midnight, the witches take time to thank their listeners and benefactors for another deeply witchy year of community, curiosity, laughter, and shared magic. Light a candle, pull a card, and step with intention into the threshold of the new year.Got a question? Send the witches a message here!Support the showWant to send us a letter?

Pull up a chair, witches, and settle into the Solarium, that warm, herb scented pause between the dark and the returning light, where herb scented smoke and the laughter of friends keeps the night at bay.In this special Yule season Solarium episode of Back on the Broomstick, Laylla and Chelle invite you into a cozy, candlelit ghost tale swap that leans deliciously into the strange and unsettling side of winter magic. The scary ghost stories side of the sugar plum season. Laylla shares four chilling haunted doll stories. As she researched and recorded these stories, some truly odd coincidences began stacking up. Tech glitches, recording problems, and even something a little more personal.... decide for yourself whether it was coincidence or something else.Chelle then takes us deep into winter folklore with the dark and fascinating tale of Frau Perchta, a Yuletide spirit who walks the long nights judging the living, rewarding the diligent, and punishing those who stray too far from the old ways. Equal parts cautionary tale and seasonal myth, her story reminds us that Yule magic isn't all twinkle lights and cocoa. Sometimes it stuffs you with stones and straw if you don't do your chores.This Solarium episode is spooky, fun, and perfect for listening by firelight or under a heavy blanket while the wind rattles the bones of winter outside. Pour yourself something warm, maybe cast a circle for comfort, and join us for ghost stories that linger long after the candles burn low.Listener discretion and copious comfort items advised. And maybe don't leave your dolls uncovered tonight.Got a question? Send the witches a message here!Support the showWant to send us a letter?

This week's Witchy Wednesday is a walk through every planetary retrograde and the lessons each one brings, with a special focus on the retrogrades happening right now. Mercury is not alone this season. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are all retrograding too, which explains why everything may feel slower, heavier, or a little chaotic.If you've been feeling off, reflective, or pulled inward, you're not imagining it. The sky is busy, and we are moving through it together.NEW SUBSTACKraquellemantra.substack.comRAQUELLE + YOMyourownmagic.comig @raquellemantrafb group your own magicSPONSORS' SPECIAL OFFERS hereOur Sponsors:* Check out Everyday Dose and use my code MAGIC for a great deal: https://everydaydose.com* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.com* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/your-own-magic/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Happy Witchy Wednesday! I'm so excited to unpack the magic of the Vertex and Anti-Vertex with you. They're not talked about enough imo. These two hidden points in your chart reveal where fate meets you and where you become the fated person in someone else's life. We go through the signs, the houses, synchronicity windows, and how to find yours. Honestly, mine has helped me make sense of my own path and purpose. A soft and mystical look at meaningful encounters and the people who shift your path.NEW SUBSTACKraquellemantra.substack.comRAQUELLE + YOMyourownmagic.comig @raquellemantrafb group your own magicFIND YOUR VERTEX + ANTI-VERTEXastro-seek.comSPONSORS' SPECIAL OFFERS hereOur Sponsors:* Check out Everyday Dose and use my code MAGIC for a great deal: https://everydaydose.com* Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code MAGIC for a great deal: https://happymammoth.com* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/your-own-magic/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
