    132: Life Paths and Cosmic Codes - Demystifying Numerology

    Numbers are math and magick. In this episode Laylla and Chelle have a conversation on the mystical language of numbers and how they weave into modern witchcraft. From ancient Pythagorean teachings to Kabbalah, Tarot, and spirit numbers (angel numbers), they discuss the history of how numbers become woven into magick. For many witches, numbers are sigils, omens, archetypes, and magical blueprints for our lives. You’ll learn how to calculate your Life Path, Destiny, and Soul Urge numbers, and discover what those vibrations reveal about your journey. Laylla and Chelle will also share how repeating numbers like 111, 222, and 333 can show up as messages, and why the Universe loves to talk in patterns. (especially the Fibonacci spiral!) There is even a little discussion, dare I say disagreement, on whether numbers can have meanings that are purely personal, or if they also have an inherent power of their own that carries influence even with personal meaning. What do you think? If you’ve never cracked open a numerology book or you’re already catching 111s and 222s on the regular, this episode is for you. The witches share stories and sprinkle in some down-to-earth magic as they give you practical ideas on how to listen when numbers start whispering. Numbers and math are one of the clearest ways the universe speaks to us, what do you think it's saying?

    131: The Dark Side of Autumn - A Conversation With Ness Bosch

    Content Note: This episode contains discussions of symbolic death and transformation that may be challenging for some listeners. We explore themes of figuratively "killing" or releasing parts of ourselves as part of spiritual growth and personal transformation. While these conversations are metaphorical and focus on inner work and letting go, we understand that death imagery and themes of sacrifice, even in a symbolic context, can be difficult or triggering for those processing grief, loss, or other personal experiences. Please take care of yourself and listen when you feel ready.  We also thank those of you who reached out to us and mentioned that while you were grateful for the PSA we included, felt that a stronger one was necessary.  To those of you walking through grief right now: we see you, we honor the weight you carry, and we hold you tenderly with our magick and in our hearts. May you find gentleness with yourselves in the dark seasons, and know that you are not alone in your sorrow.  This episode is a dark conversation for the dark half of the year. The witches sit down with Iberian Shamaness, Priestess, and author Ness Bosch to talk about her work, her book Sacred Bones, Magic Bones, and the deep magick of inner work and symbolic sacrifice. Living in Scotland and teaching internationally, Ness brings a grounded and ancient perspective to the conversation. Together, they explore powerful mythic figures like Persephone, Inanna, Cailleach, and Ariadne; goddesses who carry wounds and wisdom, and who show us how to walk willingly into the shadows of transformation. This episode is full of the intensity of the season. The three witches discuss the themes of sacrifice, symbolic death, and of letting go to make room for something new when the light returns. Prepare to be challenged, comforted, and called inward as Ness shares insights on spiritual death, ancestral healing, and the fierce power of dark goddesses, even when wounded. It's an episode about finding sacredness in surrender, and magic in the bones we carry.

    130: Spirit Energy – The Sacred Thread That Connects All

    In the final episode of our five-part Elemental Energy series, the witches turn their attention to the most mysterious element of all, Spirit. Unlike earth, air, fire, or water, Spirit isn’t something you can touch or see. It’s the invisible force that connects everything, the energy that breathes life into matter, and the current that runs through all magickal work. Join Laylla and Chelle as they try to define the undefinable. What is Spirit? How does it show up in our practices? And how is it different from working with Deity or calling on the Ancestors? From spirals and stillness to veils and voids, this episode dives deep into the element that weaves the rest together. Whether you think of it as Akasha, aether, quintessence, or simply the magic in the air, Spirit invites us to listen, to feel, and to remember that we are always connected; to each other, to the earth, and to the divine.

    129: Water Energy - Emotion, Intuition, and the Sacred Self

    In this immersive episode hosts Chelle and Laylla dive deep into the sacred waters of witchcraft and explore the mystical realm of the Water Element. Flowing through ancient myths and modern magick, the witches wade into the emotional, intuitive, and transformative powers of water. From sacred springs and holy wells to the River Styx and moonlit oceans, water has long been revered as a liminal force. It is a portal between worlds, a vessel of healing, and a mirror of the soul. The witches explore how water connects us to dreams, psychic intuition, and emotional depth, while also being the element of purification, change, and surrender. They talk about practical magickal techniques to work with water in your own practice, from ritual baths and moon water, to scrying and offerings, to water spirits. So pour a cup of tea, run a bath, or listen near your favorite stream. This episode invites you to remember: Water shared is life shared. May you never thirst. Got a question?

Laylla and Chelle explore how Fire lives in the body, in the hearth, and in the heart of every magical working that calls for courage and momentum.

    Air Meditation - Tranquility, Inspiration, and Clarity

    In this companion meditation episode to our Air Element discussion we’re slowing things down and tuning in to the most natural and magical tool we have, our breath. Laylla leads you through a gentle guided meditation with the element of Air, using two breathwork techniques to help you connect with the energies of tranquility, inspiration, and clarity of communication. Through a blend of witchy visualization and intentional breathing; this practice is designed to calm the chaos, sharpen the mind, and leave you feeling light, steady, and fully present. The meditation uses two breathing techniques. The first is the physiological sigh which is shown to release tension and activate the body’s natural relaxation response. The second is a simple mantra breath to anchor your awareness and raise air energy within.  Whether you're new to meditation or have been practicing for a long spell (terrible pun intended), this is a beautiful way to connect with the element of Air through your body, your breath, and your spirit Got a question?
