Affirmations by the River Styx || Ep. 12

I originally intended this to be uploaded for the recent New Moon, but here we are!

This episode is releasing on a waxing crescent moon night, when the Moon has just come into alignment with Jupiter and Neptune. This is great astroweather for astral travel, guided meditations, and other-worldly magick. Crescent moons are my favorite, it feels like the moon is giving us witches just enough light to do what we need to do. They feel like She is giving us Her protection and blessing for our more shadowy esoteric inclinations. It is my honor to guide you on this Witch's Moon evening back to Hades to have an audience with The Lady of Dark Waters, Mistress Styx, Herself.

 

Safe travels, wanderer.

And So Brigid Went || An Offering to the Goddess of Poetry, Healing, and the Forge || Ep. 11

Please enjoy my adaptation of how the young goddess Brigid came to be who she is. This is the story I tell every year on Imbolc, and return to whenever I need to find some inner strength.

I hope you enjoy your walk with Brigid.

Blessed journeying, friends.

 

This retelling is based off of the common tales of Brigid and inspired by the telling by Catriona McDonald of the Druid's Well.
