Welcome Witches to Witchcraft from A to Z, your go-to witchy podcast for finding the magic hidden among the mundane! My name is Elaine Evergreen, a practicing witch of over 15 years now and I'll be your host this week. Samhain is a Pagan festival originating from Celtic tradition that begins on the evening of October 31st and ends on the evening of November 1st if you're in the Northern Hemisphere like myself. Samhain marks the end of harvest and the beginning of the darkening of each day as winter creeps in and is believed to be the day the veil between the realms of the living and the dead lift. Join me while I discuss the aspects and methods for incorporating this magical holiday into your practice.

Think hair ties, rubber bands, and stretchy clothes, there's not a household around that does not have some sort of elastic available. It can be found in your bathroom, bedroom, and your kitchen. And most of the time you can get some sort of elastics completely free. So let's lay out everything we know about elastic and expand our minds by coming up with creative ways to utilize this unassuming item in our practices. Besides, what's better than the sweet gratification of someone getting what they've deserved after hurting another?

Welcome Witches to Witchcraft from A to Z, your go-to witchy podcast for finding the magic hidden among the mundane!

Walnuts have been used, traded, eaten, and revered by humans for at least 7 thousand years. Used for barter by the Persians and Phoenicians, revered by the Greeks in dedication of the goddess Diana, and renowned by the Romans for its health benefits. Walnuts are even referenced in the bible when referring to King Solomon’s garden. Though there is not record that shows exactly when walnuts came to make its place in human history, the records that are written show that it was valued highly, consumed by nobility with dessert in Rome, and that under its trees feasts were held in honor of gods and goddesses.

| 17 Oct 2022 | Q is for Queer Witchcraft - Empowerment and Community | 00:08:45 | |
Welcome Witches to Witchcraft from A to Z, your go-to witchy podcast for finding the magic hidden among the mundane! My name is Elaine Evergreen, a practicing witch of over 15 years now and I'll be your host this week. This episode is all about the aspects of witchcraft that many of us are attracted to and how it all intersects with the LGBTQ+ community. Now, one thing about the witchcraft community that I, and many others, have noticed a long while ago is the heavy representation of the LGBTQ+ community in the witchcraft community. In fact, a Pew Research Center study in 2015 found that twice as many queer adults say they identify as a member of a non-christian faith group such as paganism than the general population. It seems that when many organized religions and cultures around the world take away power from and discredit people they deem less than or other, those very same people gravitate towards communities that uplift, empower, and embrace those who don’t fit the status quo. Enter - the witchcraft, pagan, and alternative spirituality communities.Support this Podcast: Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/ElaineEvergreen Ko-Fi - https://ko-fi.com/elaineevergreen Resources: https://www.prm.ox.ac.uk/beyond-the-binary/witchcraft https://www.spectrumsouth.com/rise-queer-witch/ https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2020/06/9861310/queer-lgbt-witch-trend https://wildhunt.org/2021/03/column-ten-essential-books-for-the-queer-pagan.html Gay Witchcraft: Empowering the Tribe by Christopher Penczak Cassell’s Encyclopedia of Queer Myth, Symbol and Spirit: Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Lore by Randy P.

| 20 Dec 2021 | Celebrating Yule with Winter Goddesses and Yule Logs | 00:07:28 | |
Welcome Witches to Witchcraft from A to Z, your go-to witchy podcast for finding the magic hidden among the mundane! My name is Elaine Evergreen, a practicing witch of over 15 years now and I'll be your host this week. Happy Yule to you all! Yule is considered to be one of the oldest winter celebrations in the world. And although today, Yule is most commonly used synonymously with Christmas. It is actually a celebration of the winter solstice that occurs midwinter starting on December 21st and lasting 12 days until it ends on the New Year. The winter solstice is the shortest day of the year and so as that day passes, Yule is thought to be a celebration of the re-emergence of the sun and its ability to renew the land.

| 10 Jan 2022 | O is for Oil - Creating Your Own Anointing Oil | 00:07:21 | |
Welcome Witches to Witchcraft from A to Z, your go-to witchy podcast for finding the magic hidden among the mundane! My name is Elaine Evergreen, a practicing witch of over 15 years now and I'll be your host this week. This week’s episode is all about oil and its uses and significance in witchcraft! Although I can’t quite find the exact time frame when oils first started appearing in the toolboxes of those practicing rituals for one religion or another, there are references of different kinds of anointing oils being used in rituals going back as far as 300-600 A.D. These oils were and still are used during rituals of the Christian and Jewish religions. As we look specifically for oils in witchcraft, we are brought to information on Abramelin Oil. This oil, was also the inspiration of Aleister Crowley’s early 20th century essential oil based “Oil of Abramelin” which was also called the “Holy Oil of Aspiration”. Which starts the common trend in anointing and dressing oils in modern witchcraft.

| 31 Jan 2022 | Celebrating Imbolc with a House Cleansing Ritual | 00:08:46 | |
Welcome Witches to Witchcraft from A to Z, your go-to witchy podcast for finding the magic hidden among the mundane! My name is Elaine Evergreen, a practicing witch of over 15 years now and I'll be your host this week. As tomorrow, February 1st, is the official start of Imbolc, this week’s episode is all about Imbolc and its celebrations and traditions. One of the eight sabbaths for modern Wiccans and a holiday celebrated by multiple faiths, Imbolc (meaning “in the belly”) is a pagan holiday traditionally celebrated in Neolithic Ireland and Scotland that starts at sundown on February 1st and ends at sundown on February 2nd which marks the midway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. Its a wonderful reminder that Spring is coming soon and winter is over in just a few weeks. Imbolc dates way back to the Pre-Christian era of the British Isles and its earliest mention can be found in Irish literature from the 10th century and was connected to the breeding cycle of sheep as it is typically around when the sheep’s milk starts.

Welcome Witches to Witchcraft from A to Z, your go-to witchy podcast for finding the magic hidden among the mundane! My name is Elaine Evergreen, a practicing witch of over 15 years now and I'll be your host this week. This episode is all about milk and how you can incorporate this creamy beverage into your magical makings! Milk is deeply connected with life itself. It is the first food of humans and other mammals.

Milk has also been a symbol of power and love throughout history, and even milk that has been turned into butter or cheese has power as can be seen through the internet famous image of a page in a book about spells, charms, and incantations which states “you may fascinate a woman by giving her a piece of cheese.” Support this Podcast: Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/ElaineEvergreen Ko-Fi - https://ko-fi.com/elaineevergreen Resources: http://websites.umich.edu/~umfandsf/symbolismproject/symbolism.html/M/milk.html https://theconversation.com/the-spellbinding-history-of-cheese-and-witchcraft-153221 https://isiopolis.com/2013/01/26/milk-the-magic-of-isis/ https://www.moodymoons.com/2021/09/20/milk-magic-7-ideas-to-use-milk-in-witchcraft/ https://www.nddb.coop/ccnddb/milk-and-mythology To send me a message, question, or request click the "Message" button on my anchor page at https://anchor.fm/witchcraftatoz This episode is written, recorded, and edited by Elaine Evergreen for Witchcraft From A to Z (TM). | |||

The whole putting your intention out into the Universe with the expectation that the Universe will reward you with what you need by utilizing the energy you gave to it kind of thing. “Manifesting” is essentially willing what you want into existence.

Welcome Witches to Witchcraft from A to Z, your go-to witchy podcast for finding the magic hidden among the mundane! My name is Elaine Evergreen, a practicing witch of over 15 years now and I'll be your host this week. This episode is all about crystals and how you can incorporate this sparkly tool into your magical practice! One thing I love about using crystals in my practice, other than the obvious beauty of them, is the plethora of uses that crystals have in any magical practice. Crystals have been used for healing, divination, siphoning, charm work, spell bags, talismans, and more. Another is that there are so many different crystals on this planet that you can always find one that works best with you and with your practice.

You can stick with many traditional forms of practice and ritual, or you can get a bit creative and incorporate your favorite forms of art into it. Paint is not only a great outlet for creativity and emotions, but it is also a wonderful tool for witchcraft.

Welcome Witches to Witchcraft from A to Z, your go-to witchy podcast for finding the magic hidden among the mundane! My name is Elaine Evergreen, a practicing witch of over 15 years now and I'll be your host this week. Crafting a spell can be as easy as foraging around in your yard. From dandelions to rose petals, flowers are not only beautiful but they are powerful too. A flower can be healing or it can be deadly. Choosing flowers based on their medicinal purposes, their color, and their region is a great way to gather completely free (and biodegradable) tools to add to your witchy tool belt.
