    S4E2: Family Witchery

    S4E2: Family Witchery

    Hester Makepeace and her youngest child Moss sit out on the cottage porch on a windy spring morning, discussing how Hester has inadvertently managed to raise witchy children and how Moss grew up into their own witchy identity. Listeners will get a glimpse into how both of these familial witches nurture and welcome an extended family of like-minded folk, too. Moss has just moved back in, making Makepeace Cottage a generational home once again, and it's clear that both are happy and feel surrounded and supported by the overlapping energies of the Maiden, Mother, and Crone.

Always looking forward to it

I am always looking forward to a new episode. Hester Makepeace is so calming, so full of knowledge and kindness.
TBH, since she is an educator, I wish I could have been in one of her lessons. Everything she talks about you can feel the love and thoughts in the lessons.
About a year ago during Yule she read a card from The Season Of the Witch Yule oracle deck. This resonated so much with me that I bought the deck.

Favorite Witchy Podcast

Hester presents well researched material that is helpful for new or long in the tooth. I look forward to her podcast tremendously. It’s like sitting on a front porch with an old friend with a glass of fresh iced tea.
