Announcement: I will be taking a break from the podcast for at least two months (March and April 2021) and possibly longer.  What do you think of when you hear the term “love spell”? Do you imagine a witch sitting in their room, writing down the traits they desire in a partner? Do you picture the scene from Practical Magic where little Sally Owens creates a love spell called Amas Veritas, dreaming up a man that doesn’t exist, so she’ll never die of a broken heart? Do you think of love potions and magical desire from unsuspecting partners? But what happens when you start to get deep into love magic? Can you take things too far? And are there things you shouldn’t do when it comes to love spells?

What's it like pagan parenting? As a practicing witch and pagan, I am often asked how I maintain my practice with kids. Do I include my daughter? Does she stay out of it? Her father and I discussed this when I was pregnant, and even though I am pagan, my parenting isn't necessarily "pagan".   So, how do I navigate parenting while pagan and practicing witchcraft? And what do I teach my daughter? Find out!   This episode is in collaboration with Bex at The Witches Cookery!

Sitting down to chat with M.A. Phillips was like chatting with an old friend! If you follow me anywhere on social media, you'll know that I am in love with her book series. Today, we talked about the inspiration behind her book, how her path influences her writing, and being a modern Druid writing about a modern Druid! "M. A. Phillips is a writer and fabric artist in Northern NY. She lives with her husband, daughter, and three lazy cats. She fell in love with writing and sewing at a young age thanks to her encouraging, creative family. Over the years, she’s made various plushies and fabric art dolls who have found homes on bookshelves and altars around the United States. Mythology, folklore, and the landscape are her primary inspirations."

Did you know that there is a place for witchcraft within Christianity? There is an entire community of Christian witches out there and they have one foot in each path. Sometimes it can be ostracizing to be an "outsider" in both areas of your practice, but today, I sit down with Asacia and Kat as we discuss their personal path in Christian witchcraft.  There is a particular article and study that I was looking for to reference this, but I CANNOT find it, so here's a different one instead.   Homosexuality is not in the Bible: https://baptistnews.com/article/my-quest-to-find-the-word-homosexual-in-the-bible/#.YAxcKuhKiUk   Follow Asacia on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Asaciaababee Follow Kat on Twitter: https://twitter.com/theelunarwitch Follow Kat on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theelunarwitch/ Join my Discord server! https://discord.gg/gnN7bRB Join my Facebook Group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/roundthecauldron/   💕 Find me Online!💕   Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/roundthecauldron   Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/round_the_cauldron   Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/rounthecauldron   Patreon: http://patreon.com/roundthecauldron   Website: https://www.roundthecauldron.com   Shop: https://shop.roundthecauldron.com   🌙Find some of my favorite things here!🌙 https://kit.co/RoundtheCauldron (this is being updated all the time!)

There's a new year and it is time to set our spiritual goals for 2021! I'd love to hear how you set your goals and if you have any goals for 2021 that you'd like to share!   S.M.A.R.T. Goal Method: https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/smart-goals  Setting goals for your spiritual practice are extremely important, in my opinion, for good spiritual growth. These goals can be for witchcraft, paganism, or any other sort of spiritual practice. Setting spiritual goals is a good way to track your growth as a witch, come up with new ideas for your practice, and make sure you're on track for learning new things (if you want to!).    Join my Discord server! https://discord.gg/gnN7bRB Join my Facebook Group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/roundthecauldron/  💕 Find me Online!💕   Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/roundthecauldron   Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/round_the_cauldron   Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/rounthecauldron   Patreon: http://patreon.com/roundthecauldron   Website: https://www.roundthecauldron.com   Shop: https://shop.roundthecauldron.com  🌙Find some of my favorite things here!🌙 https://kit.co/RoundtheCauldron (this is being updated all the time!)  Get episode transcripts here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ATnoPoTD51xY6A46ay0F5moVxki-1X28?usp=sharing

Elements in witchcraft are fairly common amongst research material for new and not-so-new witches. Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit are the five "traditional" elements in witchcraft and they have common correspondences. So, what are they? And what are my thoughts? The Craft by Dorothy Morrison* https://amzn.to/38ixeW5 Utterly Wicked by Dorothy Morrison* https://amzn.to/3p7OzXE Seasons of Wicca by Ambrosia Hawthorn* https://amzn.to/36bN81N Seasons of Wicca Book Review https://youtu.be/akSb0O52h00 Elements in witchcraft are different depending on the region, culture, tradition, and person practicing magick. One person may use elements in witchcraft in a completely different way than someone else, and that's okay. I don't use elements in witchcraft very often, but my associations with the elements are fairly similar to the common associations that are available on the web.

Samhain is a time of new beginnings in my path as an Irish pagan for many reasons. Working in darkness can be daunting for some people, but darkness is a necessary part of growth.    Celtic Calendar Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_calendar (has good sources used as a reference) Lora O'Brien, Samhain in Ireland: https://loraobrien.ie/samhain-in-ireland/ Dumb Supper Stories: https://blindpigandtheacorn.com/the-tradition-of-the-dumb-supper/ Hop-Tu-Naa, A Festival in the Isle of Man: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hop-tu-Naa Duchas, November's Eve: https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4427933/4359095/4454196 Wiccan Samhain: https://www.roundthecauldron.com/2019/10/27/samhain/ Culture Vannin, Hop-Tu-Naa: https://www.culturevannin.im/manxfolklore/hop-tu-naa-468995/ 20 Fun Facts about Hop Tu Naa on the Isle of Man: https://www.visitisleofman.com/blog/read/2020/10/20-fun-facts-about-hop-tu-naa-on-the-isle-of-man-b113  Samhain is the third and final harvest festival in the neo-pagan wheel of the year. Its celebrations are deeply rooted in Irish lore and tradition and many people still celebrate Samhain traditions today. As an Irish pagan, Samhain is all about welcoming the darkness, remembering where I come from, and planting seeds for new growth. The most important parts of growth happen in darkness, and as we approach the darker half of the year, I'm reminded at Samhain of the things I need to hold on to and, more importantly, the things I need to be free from.   Join my Discord server! https://discord.gg/gnN7bRB Join my Facebook Group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/roundthecauldron/  💕 Find me Online!💕   Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/roundthecauldron   Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/round_the_cauldron   Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/rounthecauldron   Patreon: http://patreon.com/roundthecauldron   Website: https://www.roundthecauldron.com   Shop: https://shop.roundthecauldron.com  🌙Find some of my favorite things here!🌙 https://kit.co/RoundtheCauldron (this is being updated all the time!)   ----- Any link marked with an asterisk (*) is an affiliate link.

Midsummer is a celebration of the Summer Solstice in many pagan traditions.

Though it may have many names, Midsummer is often seen as the midpoint between the dark and the light half of the year. At Midsummer, we encounter the longest day of the year and, after, we start our descent into the darker half of the year. Midsummer is celebrated on different days in the northern and southern hemispheres because it is an astronomical event.    How do you celebrate Midsummer?   Join my Discord server! https://discord.gg/gnN7bRB Join my Facebook Group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/roundthecauldron/   Find me Online!

Inspired by Blood, Sweat, and Steel on YouTube, this week we discuss the importance of using non-witchy resources in your research and daily practices to help you be a better witch and pagan. Blood, Sweat, and Steel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU6TTTvQ79qlxxGJ9PB79-g Seek by iNaturalist: https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/seek_app RelaxMelodies: https://www.relaxmelodies.com/ MyMoonPhases: https://www.jrustonapps.com/apps/my-moon-phase Scribd: https://www.scribd.com/ Before Blood, Sweat, and Steel talked about this subject, I actually hadn't given it much thought. When we think of pagan resources or witchcraft resources, we normally think about content specific to those two topics. Now, though, I realize that there are several non-pagan resources that I use on a regular basis. It is important to understand that all of your resources don't have to be witchy books, witchy apps, witchy websites, and witchy content. Learning how to use the resources at our disposal - pagan or not - can help you be a better and more well-rounded witch.  Join my Discord server! https://discord.gg/gnN7bRB Join my Facebook Group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/roundthecauldron/ Find me Online!

Who decides the correspondences for herbs, candles, and colors within witchcraft?   * My Color Correspondence Printable: http://www.roundthecauldron.com/color-correspondences-free-printable/ * Scott Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magickal Herbs(+): https://amzn.to/3bPS39J * Doctrine of Signatures by J.M.S. Pearce written for European Neurology: https://www.karger.com/Article/Abstract/131714 * Doctrine of Signatures Wikipedia Page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctrine_of_signatures * Psychology Today - Color Psychology: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/habits-not-hacks/201408/color-psychology-how-colors-influence-the-mind * Signatura rerum, or The Signature of All Things (Full Text): https://quod.lib.umich.edu/e/eebo/A28534.0001.001?view=toc * Color Correspondences - Emotional or Traditional? https://www.roundthecauldron.com/color-correspondences-tradition-or-emotion/ * How to Make a Poppet: https://youtu.be/0chHAGJyqsg   One thing I wrestled with at the beginning of my studies of witchcraft and magick was just who decided the correspondences? Who decided that clear quartz is a good crystal for just about everything? Who decided that lavender corresponds with calming? Today, I wanted to talk about witchcraft correspondences and where they come from. I discuss the animist perspective, the psychological perspective, and the medicinal perspective. This by no means is a comprehensive dive into correspondences, but I hope it gives you a chance to think about your own witchcraft correspondences and how you use them in your craft.    Find me Online!

Defensive magick is the spellcraft equivalent of self-defense. Learning different defensive magick techniques can make you a more well-rounded witch.     Enter my giveaway! www.roundthecauldron.com/giveaway Just because you learn defensive magick doesn't mean you should always anticipate an attack. I like to use defensive magick techniques to protect from unwanted energies in and around my home, unwanted energetic influences when I'm out in public, and a way to protect my home and family from outside influences. Defensive magick doesn't have to protect against just energetic or magickal influence, either. It can be used to protect against physical harm or damage as well.     Join my Discord: https://www.discord.gg/gnN7bRB Find me Online!

I was inspired by two people on YouTube (links below) and their discussion about their deities and their experiences. They mentioned something that really inspired me - and that's the fact that many pagans and witches don't discuss their personal experiences with their Gods, Goddesses, and other beings. This could be from fear, hesitation, or just because they don't want to.  I believe that sharing our personal experiences with our spiritual path - including the gods we work with - can be a learning experience for both ourselves and others. It is important for me to share my experiences because I'm all about the education and spread of knowledge.  Today, I want to share my thoughts on this as well as my experience working with and worshiping the Irish Goddess Brighid.  Don't forget about my giveaway!! http://www.roundthecauldron.com/giveaway/ Things I Mentioned - Dru @ She Who Walks Between the Worlds - Trish @ BeanBagHagWag - Lora O'Brien - Podcast Episode 36: Gods Aren't Socks FIND ME ONLINE!

Dreams have puzzled humankind for centuries - probably since the birth of the human species. It has been said that dreams are a gateway to the otherworld, a way to understand our innermost self, or even a way to divine the future. In any case, dreams can hold many keys to understanding yourself and working closely with your deities and ancestors.  Get episode transcripts here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ATnoPoTD51xY6A46ay0F5moVxki-1X28?usp=sharing MENTIONED o Psychology Today: Why do we dream? o Healthline: Why do we dream? o Precognitive Dreams in Celtic Legend o Encyclopedia Britannica: Oedipus Complex o The Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund Freud o Podcast Episode 49: What is Shadow Work? || Psychology or Spirituality?

This week I sat down and had a chat with my sister-in-law. Well, sat as close as we could since there are several states in between us! Anyway, we decided to have a chat about finding our roots and getting back to basics.

I've spoken in the past about using your critical thinking skills and how that is a necessary part of researching witchcraft, magick, and even religion.

With the holiday approaching, I thought it would be fitting to write a little something about the traditions of Christmas and their roots in paganism. Now, before I continue, I just want to say that this is not a stab at Christmas and Christianity. It is merely an observation and educational opportunity. Please do not go around to those who celebrate Christmas with these traditions and tell them that they are a “secret pagan” or that they need to stick to their own traditions.

I have grown in my spirituality, and some things have shifted for me. Tune in to listen while we revisit the ideas behind the different "-theisms", their definitions, and how I've grown to know them. ~ Atheism - a lack of belief or a strong disbelief in the existence of a god or any gods ~ Henotheism - the worship of one god without denying the existence of other gods ~ Monotheism - the doctrine or belief that there is but one God ~ Duotheism - not in the dictionary, but often used to describe the belief in two deities; traditional Wicca, for example ~ Polytheism - belief in or worship of more than one god ~ Pantheism - a doctrine that equates God with the forces and laws of the universe ~ Theism - belief in the existence of a god or gods ~ Hard vs. Soft Polytheism? Is it a thing? Is Wicca inherently duotheistic? Monotheistic? That depends on how you see the Gods. Are they their own beings, or do you believe in them as archetypes? That is duotheism, not polytheism. Can soft polytheism be a thing when, semantically, you're just describing duotheism or monotheism if you believe all Gods are one God and all Goddesses are one Goddess? =========================================== Michelle Simkins|Nature Writing|A Brief Theistic Lexicon: http://bit.ly/2PmI0D0 Polytheistic Witchcraft|Polytheist: a Definition: http://bit.ly/2MLTWvU Althaea Sebastiani|Approaching the Gods: http://bit.ly/2ZvuC37 =========================================== Also, please don't feel like you have to donate, but if you do, I will be eternally grateful!

NOTE:: I'm sorry for the background noise and noisy interruptions (wind, plane, etc.). It was nice when we first started recording and I didn't realize how loud the sounds would be. I tried to make them as quiet as possible, but alas, it didn't help too much. Today's episode is a bit short since I'm still getting my bearings with recording in front of a camera as well as editing the audio. My daughter wanted to be in this video too, which was perfect because I spoke about a topic that was actually inspired by a choice she made. So, why is choice important? How do I view this as a Pagan and Wiccan? How does this affect my parenting? And what is the illusion of choice? Facebook Twitter Instagram Patreon YouTube (this is new!) Website

The world seems like it's going to sh*t. There is so much wrong happening in the United States right now, and our leaders are pointing fingers.

Content Warning: Brief mentions of sexual assault, politics, rape, abortion, suicide, etc. No details are mentioned. Mild language is used. Why is it important for you to be involved in the politics in your country? As pagans, Wiccans, and general human beings, we need to be involved in the things that interest us as well as protect those around us. It is important for these decisions to be made based on facts and science and not faith and religion.

Get my live reactions from the crap (and not-so-crap) that you can find on Google about witchcraft and Wicca. Pro-tip: How to be a real witch? Practice witchcraft! Note: When speaking about Dianic Wicca, I mention that my issue with Dianic Wicca is that some do not allow transgender women to practice in their coven because they are not anatomically women. This was the incorrect verbiage on my end and I do apologize. If I understand correctly, the proper wording should be anatomically female. Please feel free to reach out to me if this is indeed incorrect.

With all of the misinformation out there, I thought it fitting to talk about the ThreeFold Law, especially after talking about the Wiccan Rede in the last episode. Please keep in mind that these are my thoughts and opinions and won't necessarily apply for ALL Wiccans, especially those in a coven that has rules to follow depending on their tradition. So buckle up and get ready for a bit of a rant on why I dislike the threefold law, its history, and my problems with it.
