• 51: The Magic of Mending

  In this episode of Becoming Witchy, we talk about the transformative power of mending — both in objects and in our own lives, as well as its potential to be used in spellcraft. As a conservator, I’ve witnessed the inherent magic of piecing together what was once broken, drawing parallels to the healing that comes from repairing our hearts and relationships. From the ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi to the symbolic strength of reforged swords in myth and legend, this episode is a reflection on how repair can be a potent act of resilience, renewal, and magic.Support the creation of the podcast on Patreon!

  In this episode of Becoming Witchy, we’re diving into the often-misunderstood world of baneful magic—hexes, curses, and bindings. While these spells are frequently labeled as “bad” or taboo, it’s important to explore their historical and cultural context. From protection to justice, these forms of magic have long been used by marginalized communities to reclaim power and prevent harm. We’ll unpack the nuances of these practices, challenge ingrained stigmas, and discuss how intent and framing shape our perception of these types of magic.Plus, in Seasonal Corner, we celebrate the early signs of spring—magnolia blooms, seed-starting, and the fresh energy of the season.

• 48: Glimmers: Harnessing Everyday Magic

  In this episode of Becoming Witchy, we explore the magic of glimmers—small, everyday moments of awe and connection that bring a sense of calm and wonder. As the opposite of triggers, glimmers can be powerful sources of magic, especially when woven into daily rituals. I share how I incorporate glimmers into my practice, from morning coffee spells to moonlit intentions, and how noticing these moments can strengthen intuition and deepen our connection to magic.We also celebrate the shifting seasons, reflecting on early signs of spring in the garden and the hope that February brings. Plus, I share my experience at a local anti-despair event, where I found inspiration in community activism and sustainable gardening efforts.
