BABES! WITCHES! HELLO! We know: our absence has been noticeable but here’s the thing: we aren’t going anywhere! Listen in for our some chats about what we’ve been up to, what we’re getting up to, and why solitude is so damn juicy. And scary. And healthy! And… Yikes. How to manage the harder parts. If you have a hard time facing the deep, dark shadows of the self— this one’s for you. (It’s also for those of us who delight in the murky goo!)

Feral Intuition
The term "feral" has been misunderstood. In this episode, we explore the true meaning of this powerful word and discuss the ways in which we can access our own wildness, get in touch with ourselves, and live a life feral with magic.

Unlock an extended cut of this episode as well as every piece of our bonus content (that's more than 60 bonuses!) at www.patreon.com/thepocketcoven – that includes our most recent installment of our PATREON EXCLUSIVE podcast, Self as Myth, and in our most recent episode, we share a new (and old) myth of Lilith.

Drama Queens
Have you ever been called "too much?" We have. So what do we do with that? How can magic help us when we feel like the world isn't ready for our muchness? This week, we have an episode we recorded at the time of Ostara while we were on a retreat together at the beautiful Earth Sanctuary in Washington state. Listen in as we share some personal reflections and how we cope with not fitting in, and what we've learned as larger-than-life personalities in fragile human shells.
On Patreon at the witch tier and above, we're discussing how to regulate as a big, loud, badass witch–– because let's be honest, we're sensitive babes! You can find that and every piece of our bonus content (that's more than 60 bonuses!) at www.patreon.com/thepocketcoven

Astrology & Finding Meaning in Nuance ft. Rowan Rain
Today is a special moment for astrology– but what if you don't know the first thing about your chart? Or, what if you want to know more than just a horoscope can tell you? This week, we invite magic user, astrologer, musician, and Ireland-dweller Rowan Rain to the show to discuss the unique transit happening in the stars as well as talk about the nuance of language and why they don't identify as a witch.
On Patreon at the witch tier and above, we have a very special bonus for our coven member this week! You can find not only this episode in its entirety but ALSO an entire grimoire's worth of book recommendations for everything from spirituality to mental health and beyond, as provided by our guest today, Rowan Rain, AND Rowan's notes on today's astrological conjunction. If you're looking for even juicier, deeper bonus content, join us on Patreon at the Witch tier and above for every extended cut (that's over 57 episodes!) or on the Book Club tier or above to access the most recent episode of our secret bonus podcast, Self As Myth. We keep our offerings fresh and fun, and ALWAYS valuable.

From Rowan:
on tuesday april 12th jupiter and neptune perfected their conjunction which is to say that they aligned exactly with one another at 24 degrees of pisces. however they've been applying to this conjunction since the spring equinox and will remain within each others sphere of influence until mid march when jupiter briefly enters aries (jupiter will later return to pisces during his retrograde cycle, but won't conjoin neptune again that exactly!)
jupiter is the planet of expansion, growth, potential and fortune while neptune is the planet of spirituality, mysticism, and the realm of the unknown. both ruled by pisces, their meeting is an em-ocean-al, dreamy, mystical experience of collective enchantment and creativity. you might find your psychic abilities get a boost around this time, or you get a burst of creativity from a spiritually potent source.
Coven Q&A Volume IV
This is our fourth installation in our Q&A series where we ask our global coven what they're dying to know. This week, we invite our Patrons to submit their questions and answer inquiries about using ritual in business, taking a Jungian approach to therapy and witchcraft, managing imposter syndrome, and we also make a big announcement!
On Patreon at every single tier, listeners get to hear our extended cut where we interview each other about things we don't know, things we're working on, and just get goofy (as per usual). If you're looking for even juicier, deeper bonus content, join us on the Witch tier and above for every extended cut (that's over 57 episodes!) or on the Book Club tier or above to access the most recent episode of our secret bonus podcast, Self As Myth.

Wherefore Art Thou, Sympathetic Magic?
Sympathetic Magic is something we were doing for a long time before we knew what it meant. In this week's episode, we explore what it is, how we do it, and the history of this particular kind of magic. Are you a sympathetic witch?
On Patreon at the witch tier and above, we discuss materialism within witchcraft. How do we feel about spending money on witch stuff? This week, in our Patreon exclusive cut, we unbox a popular subscription box for "the goddess within." What do we think about it? What are the pluses and minuses of these subscription services? We get VERY honest about our thoughts (not sponsored, thank u!) about this service.

The Mother Aspect Unchained ft. MintFaery
The triple goddess is in three parts: Maiden, Mother, and Crone, each carrying with it an abundance of correspondences. But what about those of us who fall outside the traditional identity of "mother?" In this week's episode, we welcome back our friend MintFaery to talk about this glorious aspect and all the challenging parts that can come with it. Listen in through the end of the episode to hear a brand new single, The Witness, from our friend Rowan Rain! Follow Rowan on Instagram at @selkieseer.
Patrons will receive access to a special extended episode where Mint shares their birth story, Callie talks about witnessing a birth as a doula, and we all unpack the trappings of the divine feminine. (And the industrial birth complex!)
Make sure to follow mint on instagram at @MintFaery and find them on YouTube under the same name.

Mycelium Mysteries
Like so many others, we were entranced by the Netflix documentary Fantastic Fungi. But there's just so much to know about mushrooms, not to mention what magic they lend to spiritual practice. In this week's episode, we talk about all of the power fungus holds, the woman who made it mainstream, and what mental health aspects are connected to those "little children."
Patrons will receive stories of our most mysterious, silliest, and wildest experiences with fungi. 🍄

Acts of Love and Pleasure
Last week's episode was all about difficult feelings, so we thought it was only natural that this week should be all about conjuring pleasure! To begin with, how do we define pleasure? And once we define it, how do we manifest that in our lives? In episode 53, we use the metaphor of a cauldron to illustrate some extremely grounded mental health potion crafting and get into how to take action toward creating positive embodiment.
All our patrons this week will get access to an extended episode (a full half hour of delicious extra chats about everyday rituals) AND a document of all the prompts listed in the episode. If you'd like access to all that and a LOT more waiting for you right now, head over to our Patron and join at any level!

Elements of Pain: The Impact of Complex Trauma
We know that trauma lives in the body, but what does that mean? And on top of that, where else does trauma live? How does it impact our spiritual, physical, energetic lives? In this episode, we look at the effects of complex trauma through the lens of paganism and witchcraft. This episode could be difficult or triggering for folks like ourselves who live with C-PTSD or other traumas, so we remind you that being gentle with yourself is more important than listening to our show. If you need to take it slow or simply opt-out, we support you fully. If you need extra support, don't forget that we partner with BetterHelp (discount code below), too, because therapy is very important to The Pocket Coven.
In this week's Patreon exclusive content, we discuss the compounded effects of trauma with our current Mercury and Venus retrogrades! Because what's more fun than living with trauma? Living with trauma while technology and relationships are *extra spicy* AND we're in a pandemmy. Listen in for some thoughts on what you might want to know about this time.

Sigilcraft
This week, we talk about the art of creating sigils: magical symbols to aid in spellwork.

New Age Bullshxt
As professional new age fools, we are in a community that is rich in wisdom, magic, and unfortunately a lot of problematic behaviors and ways of thinking. This week, we look at some of the red flags you can keep an eye out for in the esoteric realm.
In our Patreon exclusive content this week, we generate our own new age bullshxt-oscopes for each other and laugh at ourselves. Reorganize your ions with us! (WTF does that mean? Join our Patreon at the Witch Tier or above to find out-- but spoiler: it means nothing, at least in our context) We share updates about our lives and get real silly this week, so if you need a laugh this one's for you.

The Witch's Book
Grimoires, Books of Shadows... Whatever you call them, these tomes are fascinating representations of witchcraft through the ages. But what's the difference between these two terms and do either apply to you? Do neither? In this episode, we discuss the history of these books, posit a new term for these texts, and discuss why using a written record as part of your practice can help you integrate all the beautiful parts of yourself.
For our darling Patrons at the witch tier and up, this week we have the usual extended cut/bonus episode PLUS a PDF of 35 prompts for you to use for YOUR witch's book!

An Anatomy of Spellcasting
Obviously, witches are associated with magick and spellcasting. But what IS a spell, how is it made, and how does one perform this mystical practice? In this episode, we talk about what a spell consists of from supplies to ritual, share our opinions on buying and using others' spells, and talk about why it all works on a psychological level. You don't want to miss this one!

Big Devil Energy: Hail, Satan?
Are witches inherently Satan worshippers? Short answer: Nope! In this episode, we discuss the 2019 documentary Hail, Satan? which explores the Satanic Temple's beliefs, the religious structure of Christian America, and why witches and Satanists are always conflated with one another and also evil. What do we get, as a whole, out of equating people to extreme belief systems? What roles are these metaphors serving in our lives?

Integrating Duality
Dualism is the belief that there are two halves to any given piece of the universe— light vs. shadow, life vs. death, and so on.

Brooms up, witches!

Sacred Anger ft. Seryna Myers
Anger gets a bad rap. This week, we were absolutely honored to speak with Seryna Myers, transformational coach and author of the fresh-off-the-presses book Sacred Anger. In our chat, we talked about what anger really is, the struggles of integrating it as an emotion whether it's your first impulse or it's *never* an impulse, and the magic power of naming, knowing, and managing our anger.
In our Patreon exclusive content (available at the Witch tier and higher), we dive into the more metaphysical aspects of this fierce, powerful emotion. Aaaaand we genuinely could have talked with her for hours.

Ostara, Eostre, and Egg-Laying Rabbits
It's the time of year when we're all waking up, coming back to life, and finally blossoming after a long winter's rest.
We start off this week by talking about what Ostara is (hint: it's not the same as Easter, but it's also *not not* Easter?), who the goddess Eostre is, and wtf is up with bunnies laying eggs. Of course, as with every episode, we also share the ways you can incorporate this particular magic into your life and practice.
If you join us on Patreon at the Witch tier or above, this week we expand the episode into tips on how to work with your challenges and love yourself a little bit harder this season.
Also, seriously, IS the easter bunny a cryptid? Let us know.

Creativity flows through us the same as blood, so why is it so often difficult to claim for ourselves? In this episode, we discuss the blocks that can get in the way of our access to our inner artists and witches (same thing) and how to overcome that nagging inner critic. We also talk about our first-ever book club and how you can join us!

Selkies and The Healing Power of Myth
The ability to shed one's skin and swim between realms is selkie magic. Let's look into not only the mythology of these primordial creatures but also the magnetic pull of symbolism and myth itself. This week, Callie surprises Amber who shares some of her favorite selkie stories, why she returns to the sea time and again— and she shares some of her personal tales of transformation and healing. We also announce a brand-new offering that we're extremely excited to share with you all.
