  2. You Are Chamomile Kin - Gentle Does Not Mean Weak

    APR 17

    You Are Chamomile Kin - Gentle Does Not Mean Weak

    Chamomile is an icon of care, reaching out to tend to other plants in need. And humans too.  So if you’re feeling like a little trodden daisy, growing in the cracks, know that you are chamomile kin, that gentle does not mean weak, that true courage is staying calm in the face of fear and spreading out in response to pressure. For witches who refuse to be trampled or tamed, who dream while awake, who heal on their own terms at their own pace, and find themselves healing others in the process, let’s take chamomile as kin, as friend, as ally and as role model. www.missingwitches.com/ep-261-you-are-chamomile-kin-gentle-does-not-mean-weak

  4. You Are Flamingo Kin - "Pink Feathers And Thick Skin"

    APR 3

    You Are Flamingo Kin - "Pink Feathers And Thick Skin"

    Today we explore our kinship with a creature of colour and heat, who inspired ancient myth-makers, 19th century authors, and cult film directors alike - the pink flamingo. But beyond its appearances in our human stories throughout time and place, more inspirational than the mythology is the complex and persistent life of the flamingo bird itself. In her poem “How the Mountains drip with Sunset” Emily Dicksinson asked: Have I the lip of the Flamingo That I dare to tell? So let’s gather here in this flamingo flock today, and I’ll use my flamingo lips, and dare to tell you that we are kin. Let’s conquer a cruel landscape together, by bringing colour, heat, dance and joy to inhospitable places. Because Flamingos exist and thrive in some of the harshest environments that our Earth has to offer. And if they can do it, so can we. www.missingwitches.com/ep-259-you-are-flamingo-kin-pink-feathers-and-thick-skin

  6. OSTARA 2025: This Episode Is A Spell

    OSTARA 2025: This Episode Is A Spell

    This episode is a spell. To celebrate the Spring Equinox of 2025 we invited the Missing Witches Coven to write and read spell poems, and we gathered together to conjure the magics of poetry, of protection, abundance and ease, to empower the powerless and bring conscience to the conscious-less. We hope that these rhymes will become mantras we can sing in our heads at night to replace the intrusive thoughts, the fear. This is our spell, to be transmitted across the waves and webs, to reach your ears and soothe you, to reach your heart and rile you, to experience the magic of becoming. This is our spell. https://www.missingwitches.com/ep-257-ostara-2025-this-episode-is-a-spell/
