Episode 10: Beltane Fire!

River and Rowan explore the power of fire and Beltane, discussing how destruction and renewal coexist, using phoenix imagery and burning rituals to release what no longer serves and invite new growth.

Episode 9: Embracing Magical Creativity

River and Rowan explore how creativity is a daily practice and a core part of witchcraft, encouraging listeners to see themselves as makers whether they crochet, cook, garden, or craft. They discuss overcoming imposter syndrome, learning from failure, weaving intention into useful creations, and finding inspiration in nature and everyday life.

Episode 8: Plant Allies & Ostara Magic

River and Rowan dive into working with plant and tree spirits this Ostara—feeling tree guardianship, honoring reciprocity, and asking permission before using plant allies. They share practical tips for herbs, native and pollinator-friendly plants, simple uses like infused sugars and oils, and encourage experimentation with everyday weeds like dandelions.

Episode 7: Coven & Community - The Five C’s That Keep Us Together

Hosts River and Rowan explore what community means for witches and everyday life, starting with a simple definition and digging into the five C’s: connection, collaboration, communication, commitment, and contribution. They share stories from a coven weekend—rituals, bonfires, and deepening bonds—then compare in-person connection with online communities and why safety, expression, and regular communication matter. If you’re searching for your people, this episode offers clear, practical reminders to find (or create) a community that supports you—whether it’s local, virtual, or just you and one trusted person.
