Hi all! Our first Extra-Sode aka Bonus.

Corey and Detta talk you through the basics of circle casting. We include and supplement some of the tiles in Corey's post on our Instagram Page. If you want to follow along visually check out that post!

This is for anyone but our new Witches may find it especially helpful as we head into Samhain!

*Energy Raising is part of ritual. You may choose to do this before you cast or as part of your work after you cast.

My apologies to those who's reader are reading the entire actual link. ( I keep trying to provide a hyper link but apple does not want to recognize themI will try to solve the issue Sigils – we are talking SIGILS!Sigil:  an inscribed or painted symbol considered to have magical power.
ARCHAIC a seal. “the supply wains bore the High King's sigil”

LITERARY a sign or symbol.

We answer a question from a listener, we talk history ( as usual) then we dive into our personal practices. Join us for some sigil making based in lore some common creation methods but also – your creativity!

Welcome Our beautiful guest Natalie!

Founder of Heart of Hathor

Detta here: As I say in the podcast I believe the study of Witchcraft is a little like a liberal arts education – you study other subjects that may inform your practice, those studies may enhance your practice or you may decide it was interesting but nothing to do with your work. Light Language work has many similarities with witchcraft and embraces many of the same principals.

Spark:

Corey and Detta had the SAME SPARK!

Warrior Goddess Witchcraft

Then we focus on raising energy for spell work, honoring, and celebration and grounding that energy to keep you safe.
