  2. The Chaos of it All

    Season 7, Episode 12

    Show notes

    Sometimes magic is sacred, intentional, beautifully planned, and deeply meaningful. And sometimes you’re in your kitchen at 11 PM, talking to a candle and wondering if the random thing you found on the counter can technically count as an offering.

    In this episode of Coffee & Cauldrons, Maria and Robyn are talking about some of our hot takes, questionable magical choices, and the chaotic ways we actually practice magic in our everyday lives. We’re getting into the spells, rituals, shortcuts, weird little habits, and magical practices that probably wouldn’t make it onto a perfectly curated witchcraft Instagram, but still work for us.

    We’re also talking about some of the magical rules we just don’t care about, weird correspondences we use, and the times when practical magic wins out over doing things the “proper” way. Basically, this is an episode about the less polished side of witchcraft, because sometimes magic is messy, weird, incredibly practical, and held together with whatever you happen to have lying around.

    Upcoming Transits:

    • Sep 26 – Full Moon in Aries
    • Sep 27 – Mars enters Leo
    • Sep 30– Mercury enters Scorpio
    • Oct 3 – Venus Retrograde
    • Oct 3 – Last Quarter Moon
