The Middle-Aged WitchHello everyone and I do hope you’re having a great week. We’ve definitely been in a bit of a turbulent energy shift. Leaving that sort of pensive, brooding Pisces season and heading into the action-oriented, ambitious Aries season has kind of given me whiplash myself. Your girl is exhausted. But I’ve also felt ready to try something new, maybe something a little scary. I’m ready to get out of my comfort zone a bit, I think is what I’m trying to say here.
I hope everyone is having a lovely day and a lovely week, and I hope everyone’s Ostara plans are coming along nicely. I think we have maybe four days, five days left to get our ducks in a row. And then right on the heels of the equinox, we have the New Moon on the 21st which coincides with the sun moving into Aries, and then a penumbral eclipse on Saturday the 25th and all of this is just to say these skies are about to get buckwild. This energy is going to be all over the place, so let’s just buckle up and hold on tight.
Here we are again, it’s Thursday, my witches. We are back, and thank you so much for joining me today. Especially after last week’s episode, which was a bit of a departure from our normal programming, I know. We delved into chaos magick a bit last week, which isn’t the kind of thing we usually talk about and the reviews were… mixed. But that’s okay! Not every topic is for every witch. Sometimes we talk about concepts that are polarizing. But as one witch said, sometimes we hear about something and it’s completely off-putting. And then some time goes by, we have different experiences, and suddenly we hear about it again and it just hits different.
Happy March, everyone! Spring is nearly upon us. This isn’t my very favorite time of year, to be honest, I am just such an Autumn, but there is something really magical about Spring. And I’m being totally literal here. Each morning I drive to work at the exact same time (I’m a total creature of habit) and every day the sky is a little brighter.
This is the last episode of February and next week we will be speaking to each other in March 2023. Welcome to Pisces season, happy birthday to my baby sister, I hope everyone had a lovely new moon, and a great Mardi Gras. The energy this week has been everywhere. But I’m here for it. I get too comfortable when I’m too comfortable, and it’s nice when things get shaken up. A little bit.
Hello and thank you for being with me today. We are about four days or so out from a new moon in Pisces on February 20th, and that should be a hell of a time to dig into emotionally fraught issues and circumstances to sort of get to the bottom of things. Don’t shy away from having difficult conversations, and don’t accept evasive answers. Also, this is going to be a good time to listen to your gut. Our intuition recognizes truths that our conscious minds either can’t or won’t see, so let’s give it the respect it deserves. When that spidey sense starts tingling, let’s start paying attention.
Happy Thursday my loves, and thank you so much for joining me today. I would like to start today with an email.
Hi. I’m a 55+ year old woman and new to the craft. I haven’t dated in over 13 yrs. I tried after my last relationship ended (he passed) but it was a terrible experience between grieving, the trolls and scammers I just said f*ck it. With Valentine’s Day around the corner I was wondering if there was some type of spell for attraction that I can use to help me while I attempt the dating scene again. Any thoughts??? Thank you for your time.
Hello, blessed Imbolc, and thank you for spending time with me today. We have made it to February and as if that isn’t exciting enough, we are officially out of all retrogrades at this time. Every planet is direct and I couldn’t be more thankful for that. We have just about 10 weeks or so to enjoy this time and make some headway before we have to worry about any of that nonsense again. Mercury will enter retrograde in mid-April, but we really don’t need to dwell on that.
Can you believe it? This is the end of January already. That happened really fast. We are going to talk about cord and knot magick today, which is actually an ancient method for performing magick, and I also wanted to talk about Imbolc. But first, lemme read an email:
Hello, and welcome! I’m so happy to have you. We have a lot going on this week, astrologically. Mercury stationed direct as of yesterday, we have the start of Aquarius season tomorrow, and we’ve got a new moon on Saturday. So let’s welcome all this fresh energy with open arms. I don’t have too much planned this weekend in the way of rituals, I do like to honor Hekate on the new moon each month. It’s sort of our thing, but I’m kind of taking a breather this weekend in terms of intention setting or any big new moon observances. I’m personally feeling called to pull back just a teensy bit, so I’ll be honoring that.
