    Mabon 2026

    Bring me the pumpkins, the apples, the candles and ALLLLL the fall magic … because Mabon has arrived! This week on Witchy Work Wishes, we are celebrating the Autumn Equinox and the second harvest ... but we are doing things a little differently this year. Instead of simply talking about what we are harvesting, we are exploring the magic of the season through three places: The Pause, that beautiful moment when light and dark meet in balance. The Threshold, the mysterious space between where we've been and where we're going. The Turn, when we are finally ready to step forward and follow the season toward darker nights, warmer homes, glowing candles and a little more time turned inward. We will talk about liminal spaces, threshold magic, the history of Mabon, and some simple ways to notice the magic that exists in those in-between places we move through every single day. And, of course, I've got some life updates for you too ... including renovations on my 100-year-old farmhouse, changes happening at my own office, backyard cats, and a certain Bear story that seems to keep getting more interesting! So grab your coffee, your tea, your pumpkin spice latte and your notebooks … and come celebrate Mabon 2026 with me. 🎧 And if you're part of our Patreon family, there's an extra Mabon episode waiting for you too, where we take everything from today's episode and actually make some Mabon magic with it! Happy Mabon, witches! Charlene Hearth & Hen Witchy Work Wishes Patreon

    The Placebo Effect Pt 1 of 2 Episodes

    What if believing something will help you can actually change what happens inside your body? And what if believing something will hurt you ... can do the same thing? Today on Witchy Work Wishes, we are stepping just outside of our usual witchy circle for a fascinating (open mic) conversation about the placebo effect, the nocebo effect, and the very real connection between expectation, belief, the brain and the body. And I brought Connor back to help me explore it! With his background in psychology, Connor joins me as we look at what science actually knows about the placebo effect, why it happens, what researchers have discovered, how expectation can influence our experiences, and why some placebos can still work even when people know they're taking one. For this episode, we are doing something important ... we are leaving the witchcraft out of it. At least for now. Part 1 is about understanding the science first. Or some of it at least. Because next week, in Part 2, I'm putting my witch's hat firmly back on and asking a much more interesting question ... If belief, expectation and ritual can create measurable changes in the human experience … where does that leave magic? We are not trying to prove that science explains witchcraft or that witchcraft replaces science. We are getting curious. And around here, curiosity is where some of our very best conversations begin! So grab your coffee, your tea and maybe your notebook, and join Connor and me for Part 1 of The Placebo Effect. We've got this! Charlene Hearth & Hen WitchyWorkWishes.com Patreon Family
