Straight Talk About Spellcrafting 41:11

5 weeks тому41:11

41:11

We sat down for a real conversation about spellcrafting, from the importance of a refined intention to the magick found only in creativity. Abiding at the crossroads of intuition and systematic knowledge of plants, colors, and energies, and bringing into the circle spirited objects is central to how we do witchcraft. Personal significance and resourcefulness in using everyday items are two of the keys that are so important in our approach. Insights on overcoming perfectionism and trusting intuition in crafting spells are shared, culminating in a recognition of witchcraft's transformative power and our connection to the natural world.

In a special double episode of the podcast, Dr. Cyndi discusses the significance of the Libra Full Moon (April 12-13, 2025), with a meditative attunement to the essence of this harmony-seeking sign. Areas of focus for rituals during the Libra Full Moon include commitment and seeking balance. In the spirit of the navigation of dualities so evoked by Libra, the second part of the episode explores the fascinating world of magickal poppets, effigies that are enchanted with energies aligning them to a purpose. Historically, poppets were associated with baneful magic, such as using them to control the actions of another person.
