What do you wish I asked this guest? What was your "quotable moment" from this episode?

This week I'm talking with Eve of Desert Roots Apothecary to unpack everyday witchcraft, reclaim power through simple rituals, and co-create a New Year spell built from ordinary, meaningful items. The talk is candid, practical, and full of permission to do magic that fits a real life.

• what being a witch means as agency and intuition
• simple daily spells tied to chores and focus
• practical warding with herbs, sigils, and runes
• time, ADHD, and letting go of perfection
• kitchen life, shared meals, and craft in community
• mentors and folk traditions that keep magic grounded
• co-crafted spell to invite the year’s good

We sit down with author and teacher Sara Mastros to explore the difference between magic and witchcraft, why the word "witch" carries class and power, and how collaboration builds real results. From Solomonic roots to muse rituals and a legendary snow spell, we share tools, stories, and practical ways to learn without losing the spark.

• choosing witch as class solidarity and stance
• magic as technique, witchcraft as ignition
• building shared vocabulary across traditions
• co‑magicians as the best beginner strategy
• Polya problem solving applied to spells
• daily practices: meditation and muse invocations
• publishing realities and digital tarot work
• initiation, risk, and sustaining witch fire
• grief, kindness, and community resilience
• book, courses, and upcoming events

Introduction to Witchcraft, 13 Lessons in the Practice of Magic, is Sara's new book. Find this and more at witchlessons.com!

Ten years of spark, craft, and community converge in Arlington, Texas. I sat down with Kacie from Kacie’s Corner to share everything you need to know about the 10th annual DFW Pagan Unity Fest. From a full day of vendors and hands-on learning to a public Yule ritual and a charity raffle for the North Texas Food Bank, this milestone gathering shows how modern pagan community thrives when service, celebration, and storytelling come together.

We walk through the schedule so you can plan your day: a free festival on Saturday, November 8, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., at 2001 California Lane on the UU church grounds. Expect returning favorites and new artisans, including holistic healers and regional artists, plus the final appearance of a beloved vendor, Venus 6 Gallery. Classes in the Grove run 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., opening with Harvest in Gratitude by Jennifer Culver and closing with Kacie’s Webs of Community workshop focused on building real, resilient connections. At 3 p.m., Jormungandholl DFW leads a community Yule ritual right in Vendors Village, bringing intention and warmth to the heart of the fest.

We also spotlight the annual raffle that turns shared excitement into direct impact. Vendors donate prizes, we’re adding a spell box to the pool, and every ticket supports the North Texas Food Bank, which serves both the Dallas–Fort Worth metro area and surrounding rural communities. You’ll also hear about the new Community Corner co-sponsored by Kacie’s Corner and Your Average Witch, where you can drop in, make simple crafts, and meet people without pressure. If you’re local, this is your invitation to experience the region’s largest pagan community day firsthand; if you’re visiting, it’s a welcoming entry point into DFW’s vibrant scene.

Join us for the details, stay for the heart, and bring a friend. Subscribe for more witch life stories, share this with someone who should be at the Fest, and leave a review to help others find the show. Got an event to promote? Reach out and let’s lift it up together.
