Here we go! This history is meant to be a primer, by which one can jump start their own exploration into deeper and more specific history based on their own cultural or traditional background. Otherwise we would need 100 episodes rather than 2! So, I hope this offers some insight and inspiration to start your digging. With Part One, we're starting off with practices from the Stone Age Eras, moving into Ancient civilizations, proceeding into the Middle Ages and finally ending with the Witch Trials that spanned the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Early Modern Era.
Next week, we'll pick up at the Renaissance, where intellectual knowledge in the occult absolutely flourished, while also covering the pagan and magickal practices of the common folks and some communities that have been heavily borrowed from, but aren't acknowledged frequently enough.
*I should note - individuals who were persecuted and executed during the witch trails were very very rarely actual witches and I will be going into detail about that fact next week! For now, Happy listening!! ♥️

Patreon did a nice little thing for me, which is more than I can say for a certain platform that rhymes with shmenshmaster today... Anyway I typed up 40 pages of notes so I could barely scratch at the surface of the entire History or Witchcraft and will be releasing this new series in two parts, tomorrow and next week.
Here's a couple small glimpses of what the Patreon members get to see first. Check it out at patreon.com/aisforagrimony ❤️

A little snippet of the latest episode # 59 - The Fours of the Tarot and Basil, the Witch's Herb... I used to do these regularly but have fallen off a little bit. So, here's to getting back on the snippet wagon with a taste of fiery, Mars-ruled, lucky, protective, abundant and love-inducing BASIL! 🌱♥️

April Recap. Another solar return and all I have to show for it is this soul sucking alpaca baby. ♥️

A little bit on the magick of Clove, which is covered in my latest Episode 53: Fortune & Flora - The Tarot Aces & Clove. There is so much magic, medicine and lore associated with this powerful plant spirit. Grab a fresh brew and have a listen. ❤️

Just a little bit from the latest episode # 43 on The Moon Tarot card and the Belladonna plant, also known as Deadly Nightshade...
❗ And, just a reminder, that Atropa belladonna has earned that name because it is, in fact, deadly toxic! I enjoy learning all about the medicine, mysteries and spirit of poison plants, but, in the case of Belladonna, I don't physically engage with it directly, so as to avoid accidental poisoning and I would encourage most spiritual and magickal practitioners to practice the same amount of caution. ♥️

🔔 As witches, our ability to protect ourselves, to protect our energy, to create peace and balance around us, and to assert our free will, should be second to none!

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) has shown up for me in times when I needed to dig down and find the courage to face some of the most difficult challenges in my life. No wonder it is sometimes referred to as the "Warrior's Herb"... But, it has even more to offer than courage in the face of adversity or hardship. It's truly an extraordinary plant ally.

It’s time to revisit the Daily Magick Series and discuss Tuesdays & MARS. How can we benefit from embracing the planetary bruiser, rather than shying away from it? Let's go over all things Tuesday and Mars, magickally and astrologically, and then I'll share a Prayer to Mars, as well as a Spell to Release Anger. Link in bio. ❤️

"We are all inextricably connected to our mother planet and to the food she gives us, but many of us have forgotten that the connection is a sacred one. When we remember, then food may become the key to sacred experience. Our bodies will open the door and show us the way through." -- Cait Johnson, Witch in the Kitchen: Magical Cooking for All Seasons

In discussing five legendary witches, along with the With Archetype, I examine how Circe by Madeline Miller @madeline.e.miller , portrays the character of the mythical Sorceress as very human in her development as a flawed yet compassionate individual who grows into a uniquely powerful being who is governed only by her own self-possessed will.
