This week, we discuss what isolation in motherhood looks like for us and get interrupted by a hungry baby before sharing some new reads! Don’t forget to breathe between laughs and send us a message in Discord to be featured on next week’s episode.
Witchy Tips of the Week
Focus on your words and avoid negative self-talk. When you get stuck in a loop of ruminating on the bad, get yourself a “stick” to shove in the “spokes” of the wheel of thought. Your voice, whether spoken aloud or in your head, has the ability to cast spells and manifest, with or without conscious effort.
Your brain will rewire itself to think more negatively or positively depending on how you talk about yourself. Stop saying “I’m such an idiot” and instead be gentle with yourself, remembering “I’m still learning.”
Witchy Reads of the Week
Both of us happened to pick books with similar titles!!
Kitty’s reading “The Witching Year: A Memoir of Earnest Fumbling Through Modern Witchcraft” by Diana Helmuth.
Elly’s reading “The Year of the Witching” a novel by Alexis Henderson.
Don’t forget to check your local library or digital borrows (Hoopla, Libby, etc.) to see if you can read these books for free! If you want to purchase the books, I recommend going to their website to support the authors directly rather than through big brand name stores like Amazon, B&N, or Target.
Parenting Wins of the Week
Our daughters are growing and hitting milestones, taking first steps, and Elly’s daughter is learning her manners with cute little “pwease” and “tank yoo”s!
Kitty’s son, despite being a sick neurodivergent and hyperactive 4yo, was able to wear a mask and not touch ANYTHING in the store when we had to stop in. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, and he did GREAT of keeping his germs to himself.
Love & Marriage
Elly’s husband went the traditional romantic route this week to get noticed. He left her a sweet little rose with a love note. Certainly getting extra brownie points for giving her something she can use in witchcraft (especially for a love spell)!
Kitty’s husband used his white male privilege to stop cops from illegally questioning a little boy while his dad was across the parking lot with a different officer. Remember people, if you see something, say something! Step in and don’t let anyone, but especially little kids, get taken advantage of by the system.
Tarot Time
We pulled cards for YOU, the listeners, this week! Check and see which one resonates with you (or maybe they both do). Have a specific question or a suggestion for next week? Let us know! Join the Discord and message us or send us a voice message that we can play on the podcast next week.
Elly (using the Modern Witch Tarot Deck) pulled The Empress (III) as the “problem” card, with The Hierophant (V) as the “solution”. If you’re experiencing difficulty accepting or expressing your sensual side, or exploring your feminine side (men, talking to you, too here!) then be open to learning from someone with more experience.
Kitty (using the Pot Tarot Deck) pulled the Eight of Buds (or Pentacles, in a traditional deck) and the Ace of Buds (reversed). If you’re bored with the mundane of everyday life, that does not mean it’s time to waste your resources. Remember, you’re saving for a rainy day, not saving to burn a hole in your pocket.
Dad Joke(s) of the Week
I used to have a job at a shoe recycling shop… It was sole-destroying.
I recently went to the doctor because I keep hearing a buzzing noise… They said there’s a bug going around.
Mini-Activism of the Week
Call RFK Jr. at 202-690-7000 and demand his resignation for endangering millions of people, especially children, through these ridiculous anti-vaccine, anti-science nonsense like “Tylenol causes autism”… Fuck you, RFK Jr. Fuck you, Donald Trump. Fuck you everyone who voted for this shit. 🖕🏻
Later, Witches!
