Happy Lammas! It’s the time of the first harvest, so in this episode we talk a little bit about the holiday and how to celebrate. We also talk about the resurgence of veiling as part of spiritual practice, and then we dive right into the connection between witchcraft and religion. Spoiler alert: You can belong to any religion or have no religious beliefs at all and still be a witch! Whether you’re a beginner or looking to reconnect with the craft, everyone is welcome to listen to The Witch of the Hollow.

It’s time to cast a spell! In this episode I walk you through spell work step by step. We ground and protect ourselves, create a sacred space, set up the spell, raise the energy, and do the work. No special tools needed! I also take a little time to explain why you probably haven’t been cursed or hexed (in case you were worried)- and of course I complain about social media. Grab a big cup of coffee or tea and join me for this episode of The Witch of the Hollow.
