  • 122: Spellcrafting Series Part 2 - How to Write a Spell
    Jul 4 2025

    In part two of our Spellcraft Summer series, the witches pull out their journals (ahem, grimoires!) and walk you through the art and practice of writing your own spells. Whether you’re brand new to spellcraft or looking to make your magic more personal and effective, Laylla and Chelle are here to demystify the process and offer some grounded, magical guidance.

    They talk about intention as the core of any spell, how to choose the right format (spoken, written, enacted), and how to weave in correspondences, timing, and energy-raising techniques. You’ll hear why not all spells need to rhyme (but why it can help), and how even the simplest charm can carry big power when it’s aligned with your will and spirit. Chelle shares tips for organizing your spell structure, and Laylla explores the importance of storytelling, symbolism, and making your magic yours.

    This episode is part practical guide, part creative cauldron, and all about helping you craft spells that feel real, rooted, and ready to work.

  • 121: Spellcrafting Series Part 1 – Correspondences
    Jun 27 2025

    Welcome to the heart of Spellcraft Summer, witches! In the first episode of this special 3-part series on Spellcrafting 101, Laylla and Chelle crack open the grimoire to explore the foundational building blocks of spellwork: correspondences. What exactly are they, and why do they matter? The witches unpack the classic concept of "like attracts like" and the Doctrine of Signatures, an old magical belief that nature marks each plant and object with a clue (or signature) to its purpose.

    From colors and crystals to herbs, elements, days of the week, and planetary energies, the witches explore how correspondences give your spellwork structure, symbolism, and energetic alignment. They also talk about why you don’t have to memorize every book table out there and why Chelle swears by journaling your own experiences to build a personal system that’s way more powerful than a one-size-fits-all chart.

    Whether you're just beginning your spellwork journey or looking to refresh your practice, this episode is your warm, witchy invitation to deepen your magical language and start casting spells that truly speak to your magickal self.

  • 120: Boundary Setting and Back off Magic for a Stress Free Summer
    Jun 20 2025

    It’s Spellcraft Summer, witches! Join Laylla and Chelle for a no-nonsense, deeply magickal conversation about reclaiming your peace through protective and baneful magick. Yes, we’re talking hexes, curses, sour jars, freezer spells, and shut the fuck up magick.

    This episode is about being a powerful steward of your personal peace. We explore how baneful magick can be part of a healthy spiritual practice, especially when used to protect your energy, enforce boundaries, and process anger in sacred ways. From the science of consequences to the symbolism of covered mirrors, we’re unpacking the deeper layers of shadow work and spellcraft.

    Laylla shares the story of her mom’s workplace hot foot success, Chelle gets spicy about cord-cutting obsessions, and both throw some shade at the idea that witches are only allowed to be nice.

    Tune in as we explore the magickal art of saying “no” with a little extra summer heat.
