Wut Up, Witches?!
This episode is the first one where we streamed on both Substack and TikTok! Hence the new layout this week. Next week, we’ll try out the landscape layout. It might look funky on the livestream but will be a better viewing experience for recording. Sorry for not editing the full video - time got away from me…
This week, we discuss where our inspiration comes from, and how we find it within ourselves when we find our wells running dry. Between illness, burnout, migraines, and more, it’s hard to feel magical sometimes.
Let’s get into it…
Witchy Tips of the Week
How do you distinguish intuition from something your brain desires and creates? Elly breaks down how she separates a gut feeling from a desire.

Three for Thee!
* No. 21 Clover: Release Your Guilt- “You’ve been carrying the burden of guilt on your shoulders for far too long. It’s now negatively impacting all facets of your life & making it impossible to function. You’ve come to a crossroads where you need to choose a direction: go ahead & make your reparations, or release yourself from the cage you’ve built around yourself. (hint: sometimes the first road leads back around to the second.)“
* No. 40 Morning: The World Awaits You - “You’ve been alive, sure. You’ve been waking up, doing what you need to get through your day, going back to sleep, repeat. Have you been living, though? Truly living? I think you need to hear this now more than ever: your life is incredibly precious. Out there, the world awaits you. Now is the time to make good moments & learn to treasure them as they come.”
* No. 17 Flower: Be Honest With Yourself- “We do ourselves a major disservice when we aren’t truthful with ourselves. There’s something you know to be true, yet you continue to ignore it. Lying to yourself may feel like the easiest thing to do, but things have changed. It’s time for you to face reality, even if it makes you uncomfortable. No matter the outcome, it won’t be nearly as bad as you think!”
Mini-Magical Activism
It’s Elly’s birthday - you should send us a tip so she can celebrate with a “coffee”… iykyk…
‘Tis the Season of GIVING - donate money, appropriate items, or your time to a location or cause of your choice. Food pantries can do MUCH MORE with $1 than you can, so when possible, cash donations go much farther than any other kind of donation you can give, short of your own time and labor.
Something as simple as giving an extra pack of diapers to your kid’s daycare can make a huge difference in someone’s life.
Dad Joke of the Week
“What happens if you forget to pay your exorcism bill?
… You get repossessed.”
Housekeeping
Thank you all for being patient while we work out the kinks of our podcast! At the beginning of the year, I’m going to try to get an actual calendar out so we can plan our streams accordingly. Stay tuned!
Later, Witches!
Join our Discord chat to get it out of the graveyard and send us your own tips and tricks, questions and requests, and maybe get featured in next week’s “Guest Witch of the Week” or have your comment shown on our livestream!
Stay magical, keep being a menace. Blessed or Hexed, thanks for listening!
