| 30 Nov 2023 | Ep. 133: Slavic American Witchcraft with Caireann Hearth | 01:21:14 | |
Today, I’m sitting down to talk with Caireann of Hearth and Besom to chat about Slavic American Witchcraft and her multi-cultural practice! Once again, there was an issue with Zoom not liking my microphone, so there is some feedback and echo when I speak sometimes. It's not there all the time, and it doesn't impede the conversation, but if you struggle to hear what I say and still want to view the interview, please find the transcript in the description and the show notes. I promise the next episode will be better!

| 02 Sep 2019 | Episode 31: Revisiting Theisms and My Personal Story | 00:31:09 | |
I have grown in my spirituality, and some things have shifted for me. Tune in to listen while we revisit the ideas behind the different "-theisms", their definitions, and how I've grown to know them. ~ Atheism - a lack of belief or a strong disbelief in the existence of a god or any gods ~ Hard vs. Soft Polytheism? Is it a thing? Is Wicca inherently duotheistic? Monotheistic? That depends on how you see the Gods. Are they their own beings, or do you believe in them as archetypes? That is duotheism, not polytheism. Can soft polytheism be a thing when, semantically, you're just describing duotheism or monotheism if you believe all Gods are one God and all Goddesses are one Goddess? =========================================== Michelle Simkins|Nature Writing|A Brief Theistic Lexicon: http://bit.ly/2PmI0D0 Polytheistic Witchcraft|Polytheist: a Definition: http://bit.ly/2MLTWvU Althaea Sebastiani|Approaching the Gods: http://bit.ly/2ZvuC37 =========================================== Also, please don't feel like you have to donate, but if you do, I will be eternally grateful!

| 30 Apr 2023 | Episode 129: Dealing with Information Overload | 00:39:27 | |
Information overload can easily happen when researching witchcraft and paganism. Do you know what it looks like? Or how to combat the "symptoms" of too much information? Take a listen today as I talk about my experiences with information overload, what it looks like, and how I help myself overcome the challenges of easily accessible, and constant, information.

| 29 Jun 2020 | Episode 73: Witchcraft Bandwagon - Why, What, and How to Prevent It | 00:17:54 | |
Jumping on the witchcraft bandwagon is not what you may think. Today, I wanted to discuss how the witchcraft bandwagon might be affecting you, how you can recognize it, and what you can do to push past it. Cultural Appropriation: https://youtu.be/LyRnlG4Geg4 I don't mean that everyone who is now coming to the craft or to paganism is jumping on the witchcraft bandwagon. What I mean by this term is that as witches, sometimes we do certain things just because we see other witches doing it. This can lead to many issues in your witchcraft practice. So, are you guilty of this? Baby witches, take note! Join my Discord server! https://discord.gg/gnN7bRB Find me Online!

| 16 Nov 2020 | Episode 90: Witchcraft in Pop Culture || Favorites and Thoughts | 00:29:14 | |
Witches are often portrayed in pop culture as evil, demonic, or ugly. I asked on Instagram who your favorite (and least favorite) pop culture witches were and the results were...expected. Let's find out what you said as well as my thoughts on how witches are portrayed in the media.

| 31 Jul 2022 | Episode 122: Can you use magic for personal gain? | 00:24:04 | |
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.

| 31 Mar 2025 | Ep. 136: Learning Witchcraft Is Free | 00:53:30 | |
Hello, friends! In this month's episode, I wanted to talk about how you don't need money to practice witchcraft. I discussed the concept itself, maybe controversial opinions about the way creators talk about it, and walked you through the process of just exactly how you can cast spells with no tools at all. This episode was inspired by Nat the Horse Witch on YouTube, where she gave her opinion on the statement that you don't need money to practice witchcraft. »» MENTIONED - Nat the Horse Witch's Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wjf52B0UH_4 - Spellcraft and Spellwork by Ariana Carrasca: https://roundthecauldron.com/2024/08/14/book-review-spellcraft-and-spellwork-by-ariana-carrasca/ - 'Round the Cauldron on Insight Timer: https://insighttimer.com/roundthecauldron --- 📚 Get my books! → Whispers of the Soul: Unveiling Light through Shadow Work → Embracing Peace: Guided Meditations for the Spiritual Person ---»» ONLINE → Shop ----- 'Round the Cauldron participates in affiliate marketing.

Moving past 101 content can be a huge task if you don't know what to do, where to go, and what to study. So, why should you move past 101 content and how do you do it?

This concept of wintering was introduced to me through Katherine's book. Having thoroughly enjoyed it myself, I thought it would be wonderful to bring it to you, as well! Although not specifically witchy or polytheistic, I feel like we can all benefit from wintering every now and then.

| 23 Dec 2019 | Episode 46: Pagan Origins of Christmas Traditions | 00:28:11 | |
With the holiday approaching, I thought it would be fitting to write a little something about the traditions of Christmas and their roots in paganism. Now, before I continue, I just want to say that this is not a stab at Christmas and Christianity. It is merely an observation and educational opportunity. Please do not go around to those who celebrate Christmas with these traditions and tell them that they are a “secret pagan” or that they need to stick to their own traditions.

As patrons have requested, this month I explored the need for occult community, some different reasons why community is important, and some red flags to watch for.

This week I sat down and had a chat with my sister-in-law. Well, sat as close as we could since there are several states in between us!

I saw something recently that really got under my skin and I wanted to talk about it but I didn't want to do it alone. So I did the next best thing! I invited a friend of mine, Betty, better known as The Witch from the North on social media, to come on the show with me and talk about the commodification of witchcraft and spirituality. We dig into why our community gets inundated with ads, products, and things we supposedly need. We talk about how this is harmful to the wider spiritual community but that it's also been a bit helpful. We also give our own perspectives on what we think can be done to break out of the cycle of consumerism within our practices.

| 31 Jan 2023 | Episode 127: Getting Back to Basics || Why you should go back and start over! | 00:40:57 | |
Sometimes you just have to start over, ya know? Go back to the basics of your practice and really figure out what you enjoy, what matters the most to you, and how you can further deepen your connection to your faith and witchcraft! The last few years have seen tremendous growth in both my personal and witchy life. Both things and people have come and gone. Life has changed, my practice has changed, and I have changed. All of these changes have brought chaos and disconnection into my daily life, so I've been feeling the need to get back to basics, as they say, and really connect to my practice again from the beginning. This can be a fun and enlightening exercise in personal growth and self-awareness.

| 28 Feb 2023 | Episode 128: Self-Care and Witchcraft: What it is and ideas for your routine! | 00:35:15 | |
Self-care has become a large focus for me in my personal life, so much so that I find I have integrated my self-care practice and my witchcraft practice using different routines and ideas. I'm at the stage now of burnout recovery, so self-care but to an extreme. But what is self-care, and how should you approach it within a magical context? We're going to explore that today!

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. Lora O'Brien Website: https://www.loraobrien.ie Irish Practice Quotes - Duchas.ie 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?

Do you picture the scene from Practical Magic where little Sally Owens creates a love spell called Amas Veritas, dreaming up a man that doesn’t exist, so she’ll never die of a broken heart? Do you think of love potions and magical desire from unsuspecting partners? But what happens when you start to get deep into love magic? Can you take things too far?

| 26 Oct 2020 | Episode 87: Samhain 2020 || Information and Practices as an Irish Pagan | 00:24:36 | |
Samhain is a time of new beginnings in my path as an Irish pagan for many reasons. Working in darkness can be daunting for some people, but darkness is a necessary part of growth. Celtic Calendar Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_calendar (has good sources used as a reference) Samhain is the third and final harvest festival in the neo-pagan wheel of the year. Its celebrations are deeply rooted in Irish lore and tradition and many people still celebrate Samhain traditions today. As an Irish pagan, Samhain is all about welcoming the darkness, remembering where I come from, and planting seeds for new growth. The most important parts of growth happen in darkness, and as we approach the darker half of the year, I'm reminded at Samhain of the things I need to hold on to and, more importantly, the things I need to be free from.

Inspired by Blood, Sweat, and Steel on YouTube, this week we discuss the importance of using non-witchy resources in your research and daily practices to help you be a better witch and pagan. Blood, Sweat, and Steel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU6TTTvQ79qlxxGJ9PB79-g Seek by iNaturalist: https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/seek_app Before Blood, Sweat, and Steel talked about this subject, I actually hadn't given it much thought. When we think of pagan resources or witchcraft resources, we normally think about content specific to those two topics. Now, though, I realize that there are several non-pagan resources that I use on a regular basis. It is important to understand that all of your resources don't have to be witchy books, witchy apps, witchy websites, and witchy content. Learning how to use the resources at our disposal - pagan or not - can help you be a better and more well-rounded witch. Join my Discord server! https://discord.gg/gnN7bRB Find me Online!

| 15 Feb 2021 | Episode 101: Pagan Parenting and Raising Kids in Witchcraft || Parenting While Pagan | 00:33:48 | |
What's it like pagan parenting? As a practicing witch and pagan, I am often asked how I maintain my practice with kids. Do I include my daughter? Does she stay out of it? Her father and I discussed this when I was pregnant, and even though I am pagan, my parenting isn't necessarily "pagan". So, how do I navigate parenting while pagan and practicing witchcraft? And what do I teach my daughter? Find out! This episode is in collaboration with Bex at The Witches Cookery!

| 31 Oct 2022 | Episode 124: The Dullahan, The Good Woman, and The Death Coach | 00:26:22 | |
This month, I was inspired to give a more spooky episode for the podcast, something steeped in legend and folklore. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow was written by Washington Irving, an American author that wrote the story detailing a Hessian soldier that was decapitated during a battle in the revolutionary war come back to life without his head. However, he isn't the first or only headless horseman in legend or myth. In Ireland and some other Celtic nations, there is another headless horseman that is commonly associated with The Dullahan. Today's story comes to us from Fairy Legends and Traditions of the South of Ireland by T. Crofton Crocker. It is the story of The Dullahan and the Headless Horseman. The full text is in the public domain and it is available on Project Gutenberg, as well as the full text of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving.

Also, I'm still working on perfecting the audio of where I record now that I've moved. I saw a tweet going around that gave me the idea for this topic. The tweet talked about how the idea of trusting your gut doesn't take into account social conditioning, fear, trauma, and other environmental factors. - Tweet: https://twitter.com/DurgadasADuriel/status/1204109906040614914 I really wanted to discuss this because I'm a witch with mental health issues that has a hard time discerning whether or not the feelings I get are legit or if they're just my anxiety. These are mental health traps, in my opinion, because we are goaded into this idea of trusting ourselves - but what happens when we can't?

With all of the misinformation out there, I thought it fitting to talk about the ThreeFold Law, especially after talking about the Wiccan Rede in the last episode.

| 14 Dec 2020 | Episode 94: Is This a Sign? || When a Squirrel is just a Squirrel | 00:35:17 | |
Signs and omens are commonly talked about in witchcraft and pagan communities, but is it really a sign? Is it really an omen? Or is it just a mundane occurrence? Enter the giveaway! https://forms.gle/7E4KcyypPBVe6fdL7 Numerology Links I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion, but I think 9 times out of 10, that animal crossing your path is random. Those numbers may just be random. I think we're too quick to call random occurrences signs just because it's what we want. Deities and other spirits have many ways of communicating with us. Signs and omens can -- and do -- happen, just not as often as the internet might have you believe.

| 11 May 2020 | Episode 66: Personal Deity Experiences || Working with Brighid | 00:29:24 | |
I was inspired by two people on YouTube (links below) and their discussion about their deities and their experiences. They mentioned something that really inspired me - and that's the fact that many pagans and witches don't discuss their personal experiences with their Gods, Goddesses, and other beings. This could be from fear, hesitation, or just because they don't want to. I believe that sharing our personal experiences with our spiritual path - including the gods we work with - can be a learning experience for both ourselves and others. It is important for me to share my experiences because I'm all about the education and spread of knowledge. Today, I want to share my thoughts on this as well as my experience working with and worshiping the Irish Goddess Brighid. Don't forget about my giveaway!! Things I Mentioned FIND ME ONLINE!

| 25 May 2020 | Episode 68: Witchcraft Correspondences || Where do they come from? | 00:17:51 | |
Correspondences within witchcraft can be personal or common. Where do they come from? Who decides the correspondences for herbs, candles, and colors within witchcraft? * My Color Correspondence Printable: http://www.roundthecauldron.com/color-correspondences-free-printable/ One thing I wrestled with at the beginning of my studies of witchcraft and magick was just who decided the correspondences? Who decided that clear quartz is a good crystal for just about everything? Who decided that lavender corresponds with calming? Today, I wanted to talk about witchcraft correspondences and where they come from. I discuss the animist perspective, the psychological perspective, and the medicinal perspective. This by no means is a comprehensive dive into correspondences, but I hope it gives you a chance to think about your own witchcraft correspondences and how you use them in your craft. Find me Online!

| 07 Dec 2020 | Episode 93: Are deities dangerous? || A Polytheistic Perspective and Lesson in Respect | 00:23:37 | |
Are deities dangerous to work with? The answer is simple but often not one that a lot of people want to hear. Note: The background noise in this episode gets weird at the end so I hope it isn't too hard to understand. 💕 The topic is inspired by this video: https://youtu.be/eA8yRoC5jfs Working with and honoring deities isn't inherently dangerous, but there are some ground rules that should be followed when approaching Them from a polytheistic perspective. The Gods can and will mess with your life if you're not respectful, and not all Gods are fuzzy and soft and full of love. Some will turn your life upside down to teach you a lesson. As long as you approach a deity with respect and reverence, you aren't necessarily in any danger at all.

| 31 Jul 2021 | Episode 108: Gatekeeping and Cancel Culture in Occult Spaces | 00:27:05 | |
So, gatekeeping and cancel culture...two heavy topics that are talked about in the wider occult community fairly often. As with most broad topics like this, I’m mainly going to focus on witchcraft and polytheism because that’s what I have experience with. However, these topics can generally be applied to almost any other community even outside the occult. I also need you to understand that these two concepts are heavily nuanced, like most things, and I won’t be able to cover all the nuance in just one episode.

| 28 Feb 2022 | Episode 117: Ask a Mentally Ill Witch! - Mental Health Q&A | 01:04:45 | |
I asked on social media for your questions on mental health, witchcraft, and paganism. In this episode, I answer those questions and give my perspective. This episode got a little heavy for me at certain points, so it may be heavy for you sometimes, too. However, mental health is such an important topic and I really wanted to tackle this head-on.
