I was uninspired this month... until I looked out my window at the large oak tree growing in my backyard and I just knew I had to talk about my experiences connecting with the land I live on. Join me on this rambling episode as I talk about childhood connections, living in many places, and finally starting to feel rooted.

Someone on YouTube asked me to clarify my thoughts on using magic for personal gain. I hadn't done so in that particular video so here I am!

The tldr; version of my answer is yes, you can use magic for personal gain. There is no hard and fast rule in witchcraft that says you can't use magic to get things you want or need. Listen in to hear my reasons, my thoughts on where this idea comes from, and how I feel that it is harmful to certain communities.

Midsummer is a celebration of the Summer Solstice in many pagan traditions. There are several ways you can celebrate, but we're going to look at some Irish paganism traditions.

Celebrating the Summer Solstice, or Midsummer, is a common theme among many pagan faiths and traditions. Though it may have many names, Midsummer is often seen as the midpoint between the dark and the light half of the year. At Midsummer, we encounter the longest day of the year and, after, we start our descent into the darker half of the year. Midsummer is celebrated on different days in the northern and southern hemispheres because it is an astronomical event.

How do you celebrate Midsummer?
