127: Air Energy - More than Inspiration, Incense, and Intuition

Back on the Broomstick: Old Witchcraft, New Path

In the second episode of their five-part elemental series, the witches turn their attention to Air; the whispering wind, the breath of life, and the spark of inspiration. Chelle and Laylla explore how this often underestimated element shows up in magical practice and daily life. From the feather-light qualities of thought and intention to the power of voice and communication, the witches talk about the qualities of and ways to work with air.
They discuss the correspondences of Air like intellect, clarity, and beginnings. The witches also touch on how directional associations can vary depending on your tradition, with Air being tied to East in many Western traditions but North in other paths.
Laylla shares a breath and bubble spell to help you connect with the energy of Air in an simple yet powerful way, combining visualization, intention, and breath to cleanse, charge, or empower yourself and your tools.
So light your incense, whisper a spell to the breeze, and let Air move through your mind and spirit. Sometimes magic is in the hush of a breath, the turn of a page, or the way an idea can stir something deep within. Air is waiting, witch, may your thoughts be clear and your words carry power.
