SassafrasCast Episode 50: Witchery for Troubled Times
In today's episode I talk about witchery for troubled times -- with an emphasis on remembering that thoughts and prayers don't get it done alone: our own two hands do. We talk about being a footsoldier of justice and the emotional and physical self care that is absolutely necessary to make it sustainable. We discuss protective magic, working with guides and archetypes, and a summoning spell for purpose and action.

SassafrasCast Episode 49: Intuition and Emotional Wisdom
In today's episode I talk about intuition and emotional wisdom -- and how in order to commit to working with your own intuition, you also must commit to doing "the work" around your own emotional landscape. We talk about how to sort feelings from intuition insights -- what it feels like to be an empath vs being hypervigilant -- and how to understand when your inner wisdom is speaking to you, versus just cognitive bias or big feelings around a topic. Thiis episode was kind of a summary/companion piece to a two day Intuition and Emotional Wisdom workshop I ran recently - so here's a link to the replays of that workshop. Intuition Workshop Day 1: Intuition Workshop Day 2: Note that viewing the replays require you to join the Sassafriends Facebook group -- which I'd love to have you in! It's a fun community where we talk about witchy stuff, self care, tarot and more. I am also running a full 6-week Intuition and Emotional Wisdom journey starting on Nov 2nd, 2024 - here's where to get more information and sign up for that if you're interested!

SassafrasCast Episode 48: Cultivating Romance and Whimsy In Your Life
In today's episode I invite you to cultivate an air of romance and possibility in your life. I use the term romance in an expansive way - meaning, seeing your life as an exciting and meaningful story that is unfolding. This is also relevant to those looking for romance within their love lives -- but to lead a truly romantic life is so much bigger than just cultivating a certain type of relationship. I give you suggestions for a morning ritual to help you cultivate a daily sense of romance and adventure, and show up for your dreamiest self.

SassafrasCast Episode 30: What if it's all in my head?
In today's episode I talk about balancing skepticism and spirituality. Many of us take an agnostic or skeptical view around what is really happening with spiritual/paranormal/supernatural phenomena, and yet feel drawn to magical practices. How do we reconcile this? I share my personal point of view that we don't have to reconcile it at all unless we want to -- we can opt to view belief as a tool, and use ritual and magic to have a meaningful psychological experience with measurable benefits on our health and happiness. There is evidence that ritual interacts with the subconscious mind, and there is also evidence that the subconscious mind drives a LOT of our behavior. In my opinion, it's worth taking an opportunity to interact with our subconscious in ways that is meaningful to us -- regardless of whether anything supernatural is actually happening. What do you believe around this topic? Further down in the show notes, I share links to peer-reviewed scientific studies around the measurable health effects of meditation and prayer, the effects that the subconscious has on our decision making, and the efficacy of certain essential oils to treat a variety of symptoms. I also share a sane list of essential oil safety tips -- because irresponsible MLM marketers on social media often advocate for types of essential oil use that are neither safe nor evidence-based. (Especially ingestion. You absolutely never have to ingest an essential oil, ever. That's not how aromatherapy works.)

In which I point you back to your own wisdom and tackle common struggles. In today's episode I talked about how to read the tarot cards for yourself. This is not a "beginner's guide to tarot" episode, but it does contain some advice for beginners. We cover how to choose a deck for yourself - how to work with the tarot when you are new and unfamiliar with the meanings of the cards - when to read for yourself and when NOT to read for yourself - predictions versus perspective - keeping a tarot journal - self care around readings - and how to make a card-a-day practice fresh and meaningful instead of BORING.

The Holy Saying of No
In today's episode we are talking about saying no, in order to create a more spacious life to pursue what we really want. I talk about some reasons we say yes (or just let something happen) when we really mean no, and some strategies to help us feel able to say "no" with grace. I also share a ritual to create an amulet to help us say "yes" to what we really want, and "no" to what is not in alignment with it.

SassafrasCast Episode 23: Befriend Your Body, By Gosh!
In which I rant about our workaholic, patriarchal society and encourage you to love your body as an act of beautiful rebellion. In today's episode I discuss how hard it is to love our bodies (and ourselves) and suggest a framework of befriending and showing up, rather than forcing ourselves to jump into self-love when it feels false and unattainable. I strongly reject wellness fads that equate health and self care with thinness, culturally sanctioned attractiveness and a "no pain no gain" mentality. Instead we explore being kind to our bodies just as they are, right now. I share practical and magical ways to tune into your body, and go through the basics of a body listening practice.
