The White Witch Podcast

In the Forest of Letting Go A Cord Cutting Ritual for Release, Renewal & Quiet Power - this connects to the Practical Magic episode released before this. Step softly into the forest. In this sacred space of moss and memory, we gather for a cord cutting ritual—an act of tender release and sovereign reclamation. Whether you’re letting go of an old lover, a lingering energetic tie, or a version of yourself that no longer serves you, this spell is for you. ✨ In this episode, you’ll find - * A gentle guided meditation to support emotional release and energetic clearing * A visualisation ritual featuring a ceremonial knife * Reflection prompts to honour the lessons and blessings of what you’re releasing * An invitation to step back into your power—clear, grounded, and whole This is not about banishment in bitterness, but about blessing the path ahead with clarity and self-trust. It’s about honoring your sensitivity as strength and making space for what wants to grow now that the old has been laid to rest. Light a candle, breathe deep, and enter the forest. It’s time to let go—beautifully. 🖋️ Aftercare Journaling Prompts (Post-Meditation)  * What did the cord feel like — thick, frayed, silver, heavy?  * What was said in the clearing that surprised you?  * What part of yourself are you reclaiming now that this tie is cut?  * What are you no longer available for?  * What new boundaries rise in you like sap in spring?  🕯️ The Hedge & Hollow has arrived… My Patreon has been fully re-enchanted into a seasonal home for witches and seekers — with monthly rituals, soul-led book circles, folklore magic, and more This month - We walk The Bone Path with Baba Yaga in the Sorceress tier And explore shadow + protection magic with Of Blood and Bones in Witches Who Run With the Wolves Join the coven at Patreon - https://patreon.com/TheHedgeandHollow?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink The kettle’s on.

Chocolate cake recipe  10 oz self raising flour  12 oz cocoa or cacao powder   12 oz castor sugar  12 oz butter  6 large eggs  Mix butter and sugar, gradually add the eggs then flour and coco. I baked at 180 degrees celcius for around 25 minutes  We made a chocolate ganache for this, for this we used two and a half 180g bars of dairy milk chocolate and 200ml double cream, so break the chocolate up and place in a mixing bowl, then heat the cream up in a pan. Don't let it boil just let it get to a hot temperature, then pour it over the chocolate and mix it together and decorate The Owens Sister Tarot Spread “A spread for legacy, love, sisterhood, and reclaiming the spell that is you.”  Card 1 — The Owens Heartline  What legacy flows through me?  This card reveals the ancestral or spiritual magic you carry—what has been passed down through love, pain, or power.  Card 2 — The Shadow in the Cellar  What haunts me still?  Your inner curse, limiting belief, or emotional pattern that asks to be faced. The Jimmy to your Jillian.  Card 3 — The Love You Were Meant To Have  What kind of love is seeking me?  Not just romantic—this could be self-love, creative passion, or deep soul connection.  Card 4 — The Circle of Sisters  Who or what supports me?  This card shows your allies—spirit guides, soul sisters, witches at your side.  Card 5 — The Magic in the Everyday  Where is the enchantment in my daily life?  A reminder of the ordinary magic you may be overlooking. Where the cinnamon lives.  Card 6 — Breaking the Curse  What spell must I cast to reclaim my power?  This final card shows your key action—what you must do, let go, or believe to free yourself  🕯️ The Hedge & Hollow has arrived… My Patreon has been fully re-enchanted into a seasonal home for witches and seekers — with monthly rituals, soul-led book circles, folklore magic, and more This month - 🌲 We walk The Bone Path with Baba Yaga in the Sorceress tier 🐾 And explore shadow + protection magic with Of Blood and Bones in Witches Who Run With the Wolves Join the coven at Patreon - https://patreon.com/TheHedgeandHollow?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink The kettle’s on.
