The Hearth and Hedge: A Podcast About Life, Books and Witchcraft (Amberle & Margo)

In this episode I am joined by Theresa Mariesa, an astrology guru, who tells us about the trials and tribulations of Mercury in retrograde.  Come join me in learning some new things!  This week's spell is a jar spell for communication to help us all through the mush-mouth and miscommunication that tends to happen during retrograde.

Greetings all! Welcome to the premiere episode of The Hearth and Hedge! There were so many crazy things happening this past couple weeks, it took me a while to get editing done and then I had a little bit of extra love I needed to add at the end. This week's episode is all about me! I know that sounds super shallow, but actually I want you to understand where I come from so I'm introducing myself to you. I also share a little spell at the end to bring harmony to a hectic household. A timely spell for me in my life, so I will be performing that spell as well as a much more thorough cleansing when I finish this write-up. I hope you all enjoy the episode, and I'll see you next time!

Yes, two episodes this week.  I had to make up for a lack of them recently. 

 

In this episode, Amberle reflects on the start of the new year and shares her personal goals and plans for 2024. She emphasizes the importance of cherishing time with loved ones, especially when living far away. Amberle also discusses the significance of numerology and tarot in guiding her intentions for the year. Financial planning and organization, as well as using creativity to manifest goals, are key areas she aims to work on. She highlights the value of a color consultation and announces her plans for the future of the podcast. Lastly, Amberle expresses gratitude to her listeners and encourages them to connect with her on various platforms.

Join us as we have a fascinating conversation with Brittany Deigh, the Psychic Medium and Spiritual Teacher behind Divinity Experiencing - where she offers readings, guidance and teachings on connecting with loved ones, learning about future unfoldings, spiritual coaching, personal development and much more! We dive into Brittany's journey to where she is today in her psychic mediumship, as well as her newest journey of entering into motherhood, share some experiences with tapping into psychic or spiritual intuition and discuss how exercising the intuitive muscle is extremely important for not just witches and psychics, but everyone.

Warning: This episode if a little bit more explicit than is typical because we are discussing - and laughing at - CRAZY beliefs about witches from history. Join us for a laugh as we try to make sense out of these truly ridiculous superstitions. 

Also, one correction we want to address is it was the god Baldur the Beautiful, not "Bal", who is said to have been murdered after the 13th guest arrived at dinner. In other versions of the tale, Baldur is already dead during the banquet (in his honor) and Loki, as the 13th guest, arrives and slays Aegir's servant.

Holy moly, 50 episodes!  I can't believe it.  I didn't even notice when I was recording or I may have made a bigger deal of it.  Here is to 50 more!

 

On today's episode I discuss a little about Imbolc, but since I recorded a full Imbolc episode last year, I focused mostly on Brighid.  I also share a recipe for Irish Oatmeal Soda Bread that you can make for your Imbolc feast!

Hey everyone!  We had such a huge response to our beginner witch episode that we thought we would start a new series for the beginner witch.  I have to say though, in researching and even recording this episode, both Margo and I learned new things that we hadn't thought of before, so it is worth a listen even for those seasoned listeners!  Enjoy!

This was such a fantastic interview.  Erika is a darling human and was a delight to chat with.  

In this episode, Amber Lee interviews Erika Robinson, author of 'The Language of Lenormand.' They discuss Erika's background and how she got into Lenormand, as well as her favorite books and authors. Erika shares the story behind her book and how she became a professional reader. She also gives insights into using Lenormand for personal guidance and conducts short readings for Amber Lee. Finally, Erika talks about her upcoming events and provides her contact information. Takeaways

• Lenormand is a lesser-known divination system, especially in the United States.
• Erika Robinson's book, 'The Language of Lenormand,' is a practical guide for everyday divination.
• Lenormand cards are like words in a language, and their meanings come alive when combined with other cards.
• Lenormand can be a helpful tool for personal guidance and providing comfort and support.
• Erika Robinson offers readings and has upcoming events in Canada.

Hi all!  In this episode I switch things up from what we have normally been discussing on minisodes to something new.  I want to discuss the Celtic Tree Calendar!  Namely the month of Rowan.  I talk a little about the tree itself, the associations with the month, and I share a spell to invite the power of the Rowan into your life.  I hope you enjoy!
