    SE05 -EP 120 - Festivals and Handfastings

    🌙✨ Three Witches and a Druid – Festival Fires & Handfasting Knots ✨🌙 This week’s episode is double the magic and packed with stories, laughter, and a seriously anticipated bonus conversation you won’t want to miss. In Part One : We have 2 witches and one druid as Margo, Gwen, and Brian gathered ‘round the ole podcast coffee / meade stained table to recap the whirlwind summer festivals: We’re spilling all the dirt (literally) on the summer festivals: AEPG and the first ever Mother, Maiden, Crone Festival. BOTH held on the brand spankin’ new land bought for PANS (Pagan Association of Nova Scotia). The gang chats about the wins, the chaos, and the “oh gods, never again” moments, plus what’s brewing for next year. (Hint: fundraising, fundraising, fundraising!) Then… part two. The juicy bit. : Stick around for Part Two, because we’ve got a must-hear interview with our friend and druid, Karen. Fresh from performing her very first handfasting ceremony! ( woohoo go Karen! ) And no, it's not your average cookie-cutter “tie the knot” ... Topics covered: 💍 What even is a handfasting anyway? 🪢 Karen’s behind-the-scenes journey : Research, rituals, tying the right knot at the right time, and the “oops” moments that made it unforgettable. ✨ Finding those little sparks of magic that make the ceremony actually feel alive. 🎨 Creative cords, deity-honoring practices, and tailoring ceremonies to the couple’s spirit. ❓ And the spicy convo: is knot-tying or cord-wrapping “appropriation” for non-pagans? Or simply a beautiful spark of shared creativity? Basically: festivals, fundraising, fires ( OH MY ) and a deep dive into the magic of saying “I do” (with knots). This episode is festival fire, wedding wonder, and practical magic all wrapped up in one. 🎧 Listen now, and maybe start planning your own fundraising spell—or your dream handfasting cords.

    SE 05 EP 119 - Spirituality Across Hemispheres – with Julie Brett

    Grab your walking shoes, your wand, and maybe a good bug spray — because today we’re wandering deep into the forest… and not just any forest. 🌿 The Three Witches are back, and this time we’ve doubled the Druidry for good measure! In this special episode, the Three Witches are joined once again by author, teacher, and Australian Druid Julie Brett! Together, we wander through the wilds of conversation about forest spirituality, exploring both the striking differences and surprising similarities between the landscapes of Nova Scotia and Australia. Julie shares why she aligned herself with the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids (OBOD), and how her deep love of the land has led to a lifelong exploration of sacred topography — from eucalyptus-covered mountains to the mossy woodlands of the Maritimes. We also dig into her books: 📖 Australian Druidry — a guide to weaving Celtic-inspired spiritual practice into the Australian landscape 📖 Belonging to the Earth — a reflection on nature spirituality in a changing world From adapting the Wheel of the Year to different climates, to finding harmony with the seasons exactly as they unfold (even when they’re unpredictable), Julie offers a deeply rooted, joy-filled, and refreshingly practical approach to living in alignment with nature. If you’ve ever wondered how to honor the land you live on while honoring your spiritual heritage, this is the conversation you’ve been waiting for. 🌏 Guest Info: Julie Brett Author of Australian Druidry & Belonging to the Earth Founder of Druids Down Under Jewelry artist at Forest Spirit Jewelry Website: juliebrett.net Facebook: Druids Down Under Instagram: @juliebrett.druid So pour yourself a forest-friendly brew, step into the dappled light, and let’s wander together — because the trees have stories to tell, and we’re here to listen. 🌳✨ Hosted on Acast.
