Hey y'all, I've been thinking about bones, the ones we work with, the ones we keep, and how that relates to Craft.The caretakers of these matter more than we think.

Winter is hard on this old country Witch, but it's a perfect time to put up a baneful box. When in an emergency, I don't always have time to source everything I need. That's where my emergency "kit" comes in fine and dandy. And in the dark nights? Why, that's the perfect time to prepare. Hang in there, Batchildren. We've got this. Winter has no choice but to be here, and eventually, will have no recourse but to leave.

Ah, how I would like to rest on my porch and not do this work anymore, but here it is: the process of reclaiming a name. I ran smack into myself (hypothetically speaking) on my way home from the courthouse the other day. It's my least favorite place to be, that construction of brick and mortar and legal moorings. But it was a good thing, that ride back to my little farm just before dark. Because, on the way, the past shook loose a little.Reclaiming, renaming yourself, that's some powerful Witch work. Snuggle in on the porch and let me tell you about the man that showed me how.Love y'all like chicken,SebaTo support this podcast, keep it on the air, and get access to extra content, go to: https://www.patreon.com/southernfriedwitch

Well y'all, if you listened to the porch chat from last night, you know where we are going. Do y'all have a journal like this?

I lost a true companion the night before Samhain. Here's to those dragons and beasties that walk with us on this journey.May they always be remembered for the magic they forged.

Well, y'all: my dad came to visit. It's been a very long time, but I was struggling with an essay for a magazine that asked me to write about winter. And then, there he was.I love y'all so much! Hope your Samhain goes brilliantly and that you never forget to get incredibly still and just . . . listen.xoxo, SebaTo support this podcast, keep it on the air, and get access to extra content, go to: https://www.patreon.com/southernfriedwitch

Hey, y'all. Snuggle on the porch for a chat about apply Swedish Death Cleaning (what an appropriate time of the year!) to our own broom closets. I was blindsided by my own lesson to a student--and had to apply it to myself.Love y'all like chicken,SebaTo support this podcast, keep it on the air, and get access to extra content, go to: https://www.patreon.com/southernfriedwitch

Hey, y'all. I'm being interviewed in a few hours by the Science Witch Podcast and one of their questions got my brain moving.

Just got off the interstate, y'all! My trip was . . . interesting. Sometimes healing means further surgery, but I'm on it.Also, I briefly embedded a statement on what's happening right now in our country. I did this on purpose, suddenly and in the middle of the episode. I'm sure y'all understand why.Love y'all like chicken,SebaTo support this podcast, keep it on the air, and get access to extra content, go to: https://www.patreon.com/southernfriedwitch

Hey, y'all. Come sit on the porch with me and let's chat about how we consider the place where our feet stand while engaging with our Craft.You know, the home-field advantage is real.

I've been studying on this, y'all: making sacred places in my life to harbor my Craft through the darker days to come. In the past, I have put myself last as I built my store for winter. Let’s be honest: there were very few special places carved out just for me. Here in the last year of my fifties, something has shifted within me. Now, I know how critical those spaces, those harvests, truly are as a Witch. It’s almost time to ride, Witches. What have you put up for that journey?Thought I'd share, and as always: love y'all like chicken.

'm whooped, y'all. It took me a week to release this, just struggling over how personal it all was and then I remembered: this is what we do.We all know that life moves on, sometimes brutally so, stealing away both youth and time. But there are things that folks should not to be able to take from you. I'm leaving in a few weeks on a mission to recovery a few of those buried treasures.And I've got a shovel.Love y'all like chicken,SebaTo support this podcast, keep it on the air, and get access to extra content, go to: https://www.patreon.com/southernfriedwitch

Hey, y’all. I’m fairly fed up with the onslaught of well-meaning folk who barrage me (and others) with the urgency of the act of forgiveness. In my experience, trauma requires quite a bit of heavy lifting, bloody labor, and the strength of the gods. In light of that load, I cannot imagine asking someone to also include the work of forgiveness, and all that such an act could entail.My question today is simply: is it a part of Witch culture to forgive? Or, and just stay with me for a moment: is it more Christian culture?These are the thoughts I’m ruminating upon today. Join me on the porch and let’s hammer this out, shall we?Love y’all like chicken, SebaTo support this podcast, keep it on the air, and get access to extra content, go to: https://www.patreon.com/southernfriedwitch
