Raven's Ramblings

EP 61: When You Skip the Sabbats and Nothing Explodes

Have you ever realized three days after Beltane that you completely forgot it was Beltane? Or watched everyone else's beautiful Sabbat celebrations online while you were just trying to survive another week? You're not alone. In this episode of Raven's Ramblings: Musings of a Southern Witch, Raven talks about the guilt many witches feel when they miss Sabbats, skip rituals, or simply don't have the time or energy to celebrate every turn of the Wheel of the Year. Together we'll explore why social media can make us feel like we're falling behind, why spirituality isn't a performance, and why missing a Sabbat doesn't make you a bad witch. Because sometimes life gets busy. Sometimes survival comes first. And sometimes you skip the Sabbats... ...and nothing explodes. 🖤 Grab your favorite drink, get comfortable, and let's talk about giving ourselves a little grace.

EP 60: Witchcraft, Warning Signs & Spiritual Bullshit

In this episode of Raven’s Ramblings, we’re talking about witchy red flags, spiritual manipulation, fear-based practices, aesthetic “gurus,” and the absolute nonsense that sometimes creeps into modern witchcraft spaces. From “you’re cursed” scams and chosen-one syndrome to obsession spell weirdness and spiritual sales tactics, Raven dives into the warning signs that deserve a little healthy side-eye… with humor, honesty, and a reminder that discernment is just as important as intuition. Because spirituality should empower you… not leave you emotionally spiraling at 2am because someone named MoonShadow RavenFire said your aura looks suspicious. Grab your tea, your favorite crystal, and your common sense. This one gets spicy.

EP 59 The Craft That Brought Me Back to Myself

People often talk about becoming a witch to reclaim their power. But what if witchcraft wasn’t about power at all? In this deeply personal episode of Raven’s Ramblings, I talk about growing up feeling disconnected from myself, finding safety in the woods, surviving trauma, learning to trust my intuition again, and how witchcraft became more than aesthetics or ritual… it became survival. This episode explores the quieter side of the craft: healing, boundaries, identity, grief, intuition, and the slow process of rebuilding yourself after life teaches you to disappear. Because sometimes magic isn’t about becoming someone new. Sometimes it’s about finally finding the pieces of yourself that were buried all along. So light a candle, settle in, and join me for one of the most personal episodes of Raven’s Ramblings yet.

EP 58 When the Altar Changes: What To Do With Witchy Supplies You Don’t Want Anymore

Every witch eventually ends up with the pile. Half-burned candles, dusty herbs, abandoned journals, spell jars hiding in cabinets, and tarot decks that haven’t been touched in years. But what happens when your practice changes… and your supplies no longer feel connected to who you are now? In this episode of Raven’s Ramblings, Raven talks about spiritual clutter, evolving practices, witchcraft consumerism, unfinished projects, and the emotional weight we attach to magical objects. From cleansing and rehoming supplies to letting go of guilt tied to old versions of ourselves, this episode is part reflection, part chaotic altar cleanout, and part reminder that growth sometimes looks like clearing space. Because sometimes the altar changes because you changed first.

Bonus Episode Weird Witchy Things We All Pretend Are Normal

Somewhere along the path of witchcraft, we all quietly accepted things that would sound absolutely unhinged to non-witches. In this chaotic little bonus episode of Raven’s Ramblings, Raven talks about emotional support candles, spiritually significant sticks, threatening haunted appliances, mysterious witch drawers full of random objects, and all the other weird witchy habits we pretend are completely normal. Because apparently collecting jars, talking to tarot cards, and emotionally bonding with crows is just part of the lifestyle now. So grab your favorite candle, your emotional support crystal, and come laugh at the wonderfully strange little things that make witchcraft feel human.
