Circle Talk 4 Witches

Circle Talk continues to circle back through the sabbats, this time revisiting Imbolc/Candlemas/Lammas and their associations with rites and practices of purification (ironically along with a lot of very impure language from Gi). Join us for conversations on smoke cleansing, fire cleansing, water cleansing, broom tips, and lots of laughs!  Blessed sabbat!

Join a group of Alexandrian witches as they discuss recommended reading lists, historical books on Wicca, and the importance of traditional sources. Explore specialized books for advanced witchcraft practices, challenges in finding quality pagan audio books, and strategies for accessing affordable reads.

Season 2 kicks off with a Solstice special on Trance Induction. Topics include astral projection, magical practices, psychic skills, and spiritual communication. The speakers explore altered states of consciousness, winter solstice symbolism, and challenges like frosty weather conditions. Stay tuned for more magical discussions!

The podcast covers Samhain magic, binding, banishing, and warding in witchcraft. They explore magical hygiene, binding spells, and tools like knives and wands. The hosts discuss Irish language pronunciation, alligator behavior in magic, and the power of warding for protection. Rituals of the season and working with ancestors during Samhain are also discussed.

In this episode, the hosts discuss the significance of ritual tools in witchcraft, exploring pronunciation differences and the role of tools in focusing and visualizing. They emphasize that expensive tools are not necessary, and cover topics such as knives, swords, cauldrons, and candles in magical practice.
