Q&A on Community Magic, Publishing Wins, and Everyday Spellwork

About this episode

The episode features a cozy Q&A discussing community magic, personal experiences, and practical witchcraft amidst chaotic circumstances.

Ever have a week where the vibes are rancid, the tech eats your work, and you start wondering if you slipped into the wrong timeline? Yeah. That’s where we’re starting. This episode is a cozy, chaotic Q&A recorded after a failed first attempt (Mercury retrograde shadow phase, we see you), where we catch up on magic moments, book launch madness, New York reunions, and the very real emotional whiplash of doing big things while the planets are being dramatic. We answer your questions about deepening your witchcraft practice, exploring divination and cultural traditions, what to do when you’re sick but still witchy, and how to weave magic into your wedding without making it weird for your aunt. We also talk about solo witchy travel, ghost tours, working with Mercury retrograde without putting your life on hold, and the ripple effect this podcast has had on both our lives. It’s practical, personal, and very “do it anyway” energy, because magic doesn’t wait for perfect timing.
