Love doesn’t have to mean just romantic relationships; Kristal and Kate also emphasize the importance of self-love and the potential for friendship to be the center of one's life.

Close your eyes and send those feelings into the crystal. Take a piece of natural cotton thread or a piece from a favorite clothing. Wrap it around the quartz and tie a single knot. “As I Bind this knot, so to do I bind for myself deep love and affection, respect, care.” Sprinkle a few drops of rose water onto the thread and coil up under the quartz..

Episode 8: Embracing the Shadow: Shadow Work for Empowerment in Money, Love & Magick 34:19

Send us a text Summary: In this episode, Kristal and Kate discuss shadow work, which is integrating those parts of ourselves we’d rather not acknowledge. Facing our shadow parts can be a powerful way to tap into a more integrated Show Notes Kate lays down some technical definitions around shadow work and its origins. Shadow work is uncovering hidden parts of the psyche and healing from old wounds. Kristal shares her process recovering her anger, for which she’d be taught to feel a lot of shame. They touch on shame and Kate’s particular shadow work journey has been around body shame. (3:11-9:04) Shadow work is also essential for processing trauma and unraveling the socialization we have around money, relationships and sexuality. These unprocessed messages become limiting beliefs and when you’re trying to do magic, limiting beliefs can get in the way. If you’re trying to attract money but you think money is the root of all evil, you won’t succeed. (9:05-10:25) They list ways to recognize when you’re experiencing a shadow part. Doing shadow work helps you realize your triggers so you can pause before you react. Shadow work benefits witches by removing barriers that hold us back from manifesting our magical work. We need to match our vibration to the thing we want to have in our life. You can raise your vibration and also recognize the energy of what you’re working with. (10:26-15:09) Doing energy work builds compassion for others and if you will serve others as a witch, compassion is essential so you can meet people where they are. Becoming fluent in shadow work helps you move through the triggered state faster. Lean into that state, be curious about it and ask when it needs to tell you. (15:10-18:25) Practices for shadow work include inner child work and soul retrieval. Kristal and Kate share their experiences with these. A therapist is a good idea for inner child work and a shaman or energy healer is a good idea for soul retrieval. Integrating with these parts of ourselves makes us more complete and gives us a better chance at self-actualization. This healing echoes forward and backward in time, across generations. (18:26-22:48) Journaling, guided meditations, journey work, deity work are also strong practices for shadow work. Deity work is using archetypes who have specialized aspects and skills th Links to all our social media Witching Out Loud on Substack @witchingoutloud Kate Website: www.starsandmoontarot.com Instagram @priestessforhire Instagram @starsandmoontarot Kristal Website: https://theunveiledspirit.com/ Substack @kristalthomas BlueSky @theunveiledspirit.bsky.social Editor & Associate Producer: Ash Black at Blackheart Media LLC @blackheartmediallc on FaceBook Audio Attribution Wind Sound klankbeeld Room-tone wind 6 bft 180103_1251.wav by klankbeeld -- https://freesound.org/s/415667/ -- License: Attribution 4.0 Chime sgossner chimes_c#4_f_1.wav by sgossner -- https://freesoun...…

Send us a text Episode 07: The Spirit of Samhain: Origins & Traditions Summary: In this episode, Kristal and Kate chat about Samhain (summer’s end), sometimes called the Witches’ New Year. Show Notes Intro & Invocation (0:00-3:03) Samhain marks the end of the harvest season, the transition into winter, and an honoring of the ancestors. The veil between the physical world and the spiritual world is thin at this time, so it’s easier to connect with the spirits. It’s a time of introspection. This time of the year echoes the lunar cycle and dark moon, hence the Witches’ New Year. (3:04-9:29) Kristal and Kate share their personal traditions for this holiday. Kate leans into the association of marigolds and lights an ancestor candle, and she observes Halloween and All Saints Day separately. Kristal decorates her altars with symbols of her ancestors and honors Hecate. As a spirit worker, this is a good time of year for her to do deep work. (9:30-15:10) It’s only in modern times that Halloween has become a playful party time. Today’s Halloween is a morphing of paganism and superstition into Christian light magic. (15:11-16:47) Samhain is a good time of year for shadow work, taking inventory and reflecting on what to release and what will grow in the coming year. Releasing is an important part of this time of year. It’d also a good time to invite ancestral support of your upcoming endeavors. (16:48-19:55) Kate and Kristal make an important distinction between all ancestors and healed ancestors. Not every ancestor’s spirit is equipped to support you and not every ancestor is benevolent. Only invite healed, beloved dead or well ancestors who are aligned with your work. (19:56-25:55) Kristal leans into the pumpkin themes of the season and loves all the spooky decorations. It’s a good time to stock up on typical witchy decor and herbs. It’s a time of year that witches can be a little more visible and organize parties and celebrations and do fun witchy shit.

Send us a text Episode 06: Sacred Spaces: Enchanting your Home Summary: In this episode, Kristal and Kate discuss the home as sacred, magical space and your spiritual headquarters. They discuss the role of the kitchen in hearthcraft and share their experiences with their homes. Kate introduces Feng Shui as a tool for hearthcraft. Show Notes Intro & Invocation (0:00-1:32) Every home has a hearthspace and a spirit. The first step is connecting with the spirit of your home to build a relationship. Kate shares her experience of moving from one home to another recently. (1:33-10:27) Hearthcraft is different from kitchen witchery, even though the hearth is often centered in a kitchen and Kate is drawn to homemaking and homekeeping. Kristal, on the other hand, loves kitchen witchery. Historically, the kitchen was the center of the home and it still is today. The cauldron is associated with the imagery of the kitchen and hearthcraft. And there’s a great deal of intentionality in food prep, tool maintenance and the animism of even modern appliances. When you’re caring for your tools, you’re caring for your hearth. (10:28-22:20) Feng Shui can be a powerful tool in hearthcraft and Kate recently took a class in it. Feng Shui is based on a 9-square overlay to your floorplan called the Bagua Map and you can intentionally use those home regions to influence corresponding areas of your life. (22:21-28:40) Clearing and cleansing and purifying your home is a great way to bless and connect with your home. Homes can also have household spirits and deities in addition to the overall spirit of the home. Kate works with Hestia and a domovoy and Kristal works predominantly with her ancestors. Things outside the house can also support your connection with your home, such as statuary or trees. They become allies in your work.

Send us a text Guardians at the Gate: Crafting Protections & Wards Summary: In this episode, Kristal and Kate chat about wards and protections. They discuss deities, spirits, objects and symbols typically used, and then share wards and protections they use for themselves. Show Notes Intro & Invocation (0:00-5:18) Wards are important basics of witchcraft for protecting your energies. Mostly not from attack, but simply from the tangles and smudges of daily life. Kristal describes salt as the most basic protection tool because it contains all the elements: earth, water, fire and air. Be sure to cleanse before you set up a ward so you don’t trap the old energy in with you. (5:19-15:01) You can also work with spirits and deities for your protection. Think of the spirit of your home (or car) as a partner in protection. Kate shares a story of inviting a domovoy to protect her front door. Kristal works closely with the spirit of her home as part of her daily practice. She delves into the wards she places on her land. (15:02-21:10) Symbols that are good for warding: pentagram, pentacle, equal armed cross, symbol of the horned god, and symbol of the triple goddess. (21:11-23:56) You can bless and charge things you put on your body to make them wards, such as jewelry, tattoos, glasses, medicine, bodily fluids, face wash, or you can make spell jars or talismans to carry with you. You can smoke cleanse with wood, incense, resins, herbs because once again, it contains all the elements. (25:37-34:04) Kristal and Kate go on a delightful tangent about tampons and blood magic before Kristal instructs on making protective spell jars. (34:05-40:10) They discuss the difference between protecting person vs. property. Usually, when it’s about land and property, it’s less visible or less conspicuous. They share their personal strategies and tools.

Send us a text Episode 04: The Devil & Witchcraft Summary: In this episode, Kristal and Kate address the belief that the Devil is somehow associated with witchcraft and witches. They explore where that myth came from, the impact of it and the myth in the present day. Show Notes Intro & Invocation of the Horned God by Doreen Valiente (0:00-4:36) Kristal and Kate open by sharing their early reactions to witchcraft. They describe the role of Satan as the adversary. The Bible and, therefore, the idea of Satan, is rooted in a Near Eastern and Abrahamic religion context. The concept evolved from Djinn trickster spirits to the earthy, horned gods of the Mediterranean and, eventually, those of Europe and the British Isles. (4:37-12:34) The war on those horned gods led to the Medieval witch hunts, which was an excuse to target women, the keepers of old knowledge. This launched us into a spiritual dark ages. The Malleus Maleficarum (written in 1486) was obsessed with women’s sexuality and originally denounced, but later adopted as the definitive demonology resource. The impact has been the suppression of women. (12:35-19:40) Christianity has removed duality from the trickster/adversary god concept and created a one-dimensional devil, giving it dominion over other people’s rights and freedoms. As a result, women today are trying to heal from this one-sidedness and bring the Divine Feminine back to equal standing with the Divine Masculine. (19:41-26:28) So what’s the Devil got to do with it? Control. The concepts of evil, sin and shame load people down and compromise their agency. (26:29-28:24) Kristal and Kate wrap up with a discussion about the current status of the Devil. They touch on Satanism, which is quite atheistic and humanist, and the Satanic Panic of the 1980s and 90s, which was eventually debunked. The continued position of Satan in the world steals agency and underscores patriarchy, capitalism and white supremacy.

Kristal & Kate share some of their personal moon magick thoughts and rituals. Show Notes: Intro & Invocation (0:00-2:35) Kristal and Kate describe the science of the lunar cycle and its relationship to the sun. They introduce the typical points of the cycle and highlight the dark moon as separate from the new moon and the end and beginning of the lunar cycle. The full moon, then, is the peak of the lunar cycle (2:36-12:08) Kate shares her moon devotionals, moving through the lunar cycle and the energies associated with each phase. Kristal elaborates on why we move in that cycle and how we align ourselves with those energies. (12:09-18:44) Next they chat about what they each do during the various phases in order to align their intentions with the moon’s energies. The new moon and waxing toward the full moon is good for setting intentions and taking action. The post full moon waning is good for gentle release and the final quarter waning is good for stronger banishing. (18:45-38:26) Kristal wraps up the episode with a discussion of each full moon’s designation (the wolf moon, etc.) and what those specific themes are associated with.

They then delve into routines in their lives; where they come from and the purposes they serve. They continue, discussing the value that ritual brings to their routines. (2:15-10:59) They break down their morning routines. (11:00-17:35) Next they chat about other rituals and routines that support their practices. Kristal shares an energetic refreshment and Kate shares her Imbolc ritual. Around Samhain, Kristal refreshes her land and home’s wards. They outline her arriving at work, closing out the week and prepping for the next day routines. (17:36-27:24) They wrap up the episode with a discussion of the value of these rituals and routines in their lives: they reduce the amount of executive function necessary to get through life and make room for spontaneity. Creating that space allows more room for intuition and magical details. (27:25-32:39) Final thoughts and call to action: share what it takes to turn a routine into a ritual.
