    Boundaries And Sweetness

    Send a text Breakthrough energy is humming, and not the loud kind. A new moon solar eclipse in Aquarius is shaking loose stale patterns and shining a bright light on individuality, clarity, and the boundaries that protect a sweeter life. We start with a card pull—Sweetness from Arcana Folia—and follow the thread into how firm, loving limits make space for ease, presence, and genuine joy. Instead of forcing manifestations, we offer an eclipse‑safe approach: listen more than push, journal more than plan, and let what’s ready to leave, leave. Aquarius brings invention and a nudge to do your own thing, while winter continues to surface shadow material that needs care. We share practical ways to meet that wave: simple journaling prompts that turn fog into language, deeper card spreads to name fears, and quiet rituals that keep your nervous system steady. Then we ride the shift into Pisces season with dreamwork, a focus on intuitive practice, and a reminder that rest is not laziness, it’s fuel. Along the way, we trade playlists for full albums, light a candle, take phone‑free walks, and romanticize the small moments that make ordinary days feel enchanted. Think of this conversation as a warm room during a blustery forecast: you’ll leave with boundary scripts, reflective questions, and cozy practices to anchor you through eclipse season. Press play, breathe deeper, and tell us—where will you set one kind boundary this week? If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find their way here. Support the show Connect with me here: https://www.jennycbell.com/

    Self-Care As Resistance In Anxious Times

    Send us a text We name the collective unease, then build a gentle plan to hold steady: practice self-care as resistance, clear intuition, and small rituals that restore joy without ignoring the world’s weight. We start with the week’s oracle pull—a tiny mouse that signals subtle warning and asks us to trust first impressions. From there, we navigate how to protect our attention, set humane boundaries, and stay grounded in kindness. We share what hope looks like on ordinary days: seeds on the altar waiting for rain, snacks and laughter during the game, and a simple Friday the 13th ritual that honors Freya’s many facets and Venus’s call to self-love. Along the way, we explore February’s tricky astrology and why naming one real reason to believe each day strengthens the “hope muscle.” Community threads run through everything. I invite you to my Substack for poetry and personal essays, extend a warm door to the coven’s dream-focused month, and celebrate live conversation on Witch’s Movie Coven. For those craving hands-on learning, I chat about Spirit Northwest in Portland, where I’ll teach building effective, ethical spells from correspondences to ritual structure. I also talk honestly about influencing, how creators balance integrity and income, and simple tactics for mindful consumption—like the 24-hour cart rule and the magic of Little Free Libraries. If you’re craving steadiness, symbolism, and sustainable magic, this one is for you. Listen, breathe, and gather a few tools you can use tonight. If it resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a quick review—what small ritual will you try this week?

    Reignite Creativity With Imbolc And a Leo Full Moon

    Send us a text We welcome Imbolc alongside a full moon in Leo and explore how to turn that fire into a creative practice you can actually keep. Brigid is our guide as we map small, human-scale rituals that pull us out of anxiety and into flow. Think red candles, Celtic songs, and a promise to make one small creative thing a day. We share the joy of private art: coloring between tasks, writing winter poems that feel like prayers, arranging flowers, or building a playlist that moves your heart a few beats closer to brave. An oracle pull lands on Gift with the message precious offering, and we ask what that means for this week: perhaps your offering is time, listening, or the courage to express what’s been sitting in your chest. Along the way, we shout out beloved round-card decks, the publishers who support this work, and the poet Joy Harjo, whose voice invites us to blur the line between poem and prayer. With Uranus stationing direct in Taurus, we talk breakthroughs—the kind that arrive when you’re washing dishes or shading a rose petal. We make a case for creative breaks as a steady path to better ideas and better moods, and we close with three prompts: what lights your fire now, what precious offering can you give, and what wants to be expressed while the Leo moon shines. If you’re ready to reignite your spark and let your heart lead the way, press play, bring a candle, and join us by the warm edge of the year. If this spoke to you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a spark, and leave a quick review to help others find the circle.

    From Winter Stillness To Returning Light

    Send us a text Our card this week is the eagle from the Cosmic Creator Oracle—air medicine that invites altitude, patience, and sharp focus. Then we translate that symbolism into practice with a simple perspective tool: build a “council of advisors” on paper, ask your question, and let five trusted voices—real or archetypal—offer angles you can act on. From there we move into winter crafting for “future you.” Think pre-dressed tealights for the first of each month, tea blends that double as spell ingredients, easy room sprays, Florida water, sachets, and ready-made simmer pot jars. We share the calm joy of hand-dipped beeswax tapers, how dinner by candlelight becomes a family ritual, and why slow magic—prepared in quiet moments—pays off when life gets loud. As January closes in a numerology One year, we offer journal prompts to review your start and choose your next brave thing. Finally, we prepare for the light of Imbolc and the many faces of Brigid—hearth, well, and fire. Expect simple, heartfelt ways to celebrate: a red candle, an easy soup, a floral cake, a Brigid’s cross, or just a playlist and a warm mug. Subscribe if this blend of story, symbol, and practical witchcraft feeds you. Share with a friend who’s ready to trade hurry for intention, and leave a review with your Imbolc plan—we’d love to hear how you’ll call the light back.

    New Moon In Capricorn: Goals, Amethyst, And Incoming Aquarius Energy

    Send us a text We lean into Capricorn’s grounded energy to set goals that actually fit real life, then invite Aquarius to remix the plan with inventive, future-facing ideas. This is where structure meets spark: vision boards that breath, seasonal intentions that flex, and rituals that transform more than your to-do list. Amethyst leads our journey with the message “Transmutation is yours.” We unpack the difference between transformation and transmutation, then share accessible ways to work with the violet flame to compost heavy emotions and redirect that fuel into something that serves. You’ll hear simple practices—placing an amethyst on your heart, a mantra to anchor the flame, and a visualization that turns shadow into usable light—so you can start without overwhelm. We also explore building a relationship with guides: deities, angels, and archetypes that mirror your needs in this season. From vetting intuitive nudges to creating an altar with art, music, and incense, we offer tools to deepen trust and make the connection tangible. Along the way, we talk seasonal goal setting, the power of myth, and the surprising places wisdom hides—like a children’s book that wakes up your inner compass. If you’re ready to pair practical planning with soulful alchemy, this conversation gives you the map and the matches. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a review with your top goal and the guide you feel called to explore next.

    Crafting Calm: Creativity, Protection, And Hope For 2026

    Send us a text What if the world’s storm doesn’t have to drown your sky? We open with a hard reset on perspective—how the collective mood can warp our view—and then build a grounded path toward steadier days using protection magic, creativity, and clear intention. Instead of marinating in the news cycle, I talk about practical ways to care for your energy: salt at the thresholds, a daily candle for whoever needs it, and the gentle shift from anxious worry to empowered compassion. Creativity takes center stage as a true antidote to anxiety. We unpack why the brain struggles to ruminate and create at the same time, and how flow—through crafting, music, cooking, gardening, even problem-solving at work—can become a reliable nervous system reset. January’s theme, illuminate, threads through the hour as we explore seeing more clearly after the longest nights, choosing hopeful inputs, and letting small rituals add up to real change. We also dig into timing. Many listeners are feeling January as unexpected “go time,” an invitation to plant seeds earlier than usual. You’ll hear ideas for visioning that actually stick, including a simple neuro-art approach to mapping intentions, plus seasonal tips for warm nourishment and reading recs that balance learning with delight. Along the way, we share coven updates, a Portland event announcement, and a handful of journal prompts to close the loop: What is being illuminated for you now, and what tiny seed can you plant today? If this conversation brings you a little calm and a spark of courage, share it with a friend, leave a review, and subscribe so you never miss a cozy, witchy check-in. Then tell us: what’s being illuminated for you—and which seed are you planting next?

    Shadow Work, Winter Rituals & A Vision For 2026

    Send us a text The year opens with a quiet dare: what are you willing to release so the real you can breathe? We invite Kali’s fierce compassion into the room and let winter do what winter does best—slow us down, sharpen our hearing, and make honest space for shadow work. Instead of sprinting toward resolutions, we choose reflection, ritual, and seasonal timing, so our plans feel human and our progress holds. We explore how Capricorn’s grounded drive can pair with January’s incubation energy without tipping into burnout. You’ll learn why seasonal goals beat rigid deadlines, how vision boards and playlist “audio boards” translate dreams into sensory anchors, and the simple home rituals that mark the threshold between years. From simmer pots to smoke cleanses to a humble day book, we build a toolkit that turns intention into practice. We also talk candidly about aligning health habits with the calendar—why spring is kinder for new routines, and how winter can still carry momentum through writing, planning, and gentle resets. Affirmations take center stage as a practical brain hack. We share why “I am” statements work, how to record them in your own voice, and ways to stack them onto daily routines so they stick. To seal the container, we offer four reflection prompts: identify rising shadows, name your 2026 vision, define how you want to feel by year’s end, and write a vivid future page as if it already happened. It’s not about a new you by Monday; it’s about a truer you by December, guided by clarity, compassion, and a little divine edge. If this landed, subscribe, share with a friend who needs a softer start, and leave a review so more listeners can find Cozy Coven Chats. Tell us your word for 2026—we’re listening.

    New Year: New Magic

    Send us a text The space between holidays feels thin, like the year is holding its breath. We step into that hush to make room for real change: honest journaling to name what hurts, sound and smoke to clear it out, and a house blessing that turns walls and windows into allies. Instead of forcing resolutions, we ask a better question from our oracle pull on the waxing moon: allow yourself to grow into what? With that answer, intentions stop being vague wishes and become touchable practices. We explore why witches honor multiple fresh starts—Samhain, Lunar New Year, the Western calendar turn, and the astrological new year in spring—and how choosing your hinge point can steady your craft. If midnight finds you busy, the full moon in Cancer on January 3 offers a powerful reset for emotional release, journaling, and burning what you won’t carry forward. We share simple, grounded rituals: ringing bells through each room, tracing protections on doors and windows with black salt, refreshing talismans with oil, and setting the table with black-eyed peas and greens for luck and prosperity. Add folk charms like twelve grapes or a suitcase by the door, and you’ve woven old magic into a new morning. Nature ties it all together. A New Year’s hike turned into a living omen: thousands of ladybugs shifting under winter leaves, a bright reminder to trust luck and keep moving. That story invites you to watch for your own signs and to craft traditions that fit your people, your place, and your pace. We round out with community news—our January theme is illuminate, plus a week-long photo challenge, live chats, and layered divination from tarot to charm casting—so you can grow with support and clarity. Ready to make your own ritual and start the year with intention you can feel? Listen now, share this episode with a friend who loves fresh starts, and subscribe.
