Back on the Broomstick: Old Witchcraft, New Path ·

2026/04/03

In this episode, we’re claiming a tiny piece of each day and turning it into something intentional, magickal, and realistically sustainable. No waiting for the perfect moon or the next sabbat. This is about building a daily practice that fits into real life while still feeling deeply witchy. We talk about working with spring energy as a catalyst for change, creating simple rituals that become habits, and going all in on the experience even if it’s just for a few minutes. Setting the space, e...

Back on the Broomstick: Old Witchcraft, New Path ·

2026/03/28

In this guided meditation, Laylla leads you into an alpha brain state, the in-between space where your mind quiets and becomes open, focused, and receptive to magick. Inspired by Laurie Cabot’s Crystal Countdown Meditation from The Power of the Witch, this adaptation is designed to help you enter an alpha brain state for meditation, spellwork, and energy raising. You’ll move through breathwork, body awareness, and a gentle inward descent, shifting out of everyday mental noise and into a cal...

Back on the Broomstick: Old Witchcraft, New Path ·

2026/03/27

Most spells don’t fail because you lack power, they fail because you’re casting from a mind that won’t let the magic take hold. On this episode, Laylla gets practical about what actually makes spellwork land. Tools, intentions, and the words of spells are important, but your will and ability to gather energy is what powers the spell. And the place to find and work with that energy is within your mind in the alpha state. Laylla talks about what an alpha brain state really is from both a scien...

156: Ostara to Beltane - Magick Between the Spokes

Back on the Broomstick: Old Witchcraft, New Path ·

2026/03/20

We're in the wild stretch of the Wheel where nothing is settled and everything is becoming. In this episode, we walk the space between Ostara and Beltane, that muddy, electric season of storms, sudden growth, and untamed energy. It’s not gentle, and it’s not meant to be. We talk about working with that chaos instead of trying to tame it. Reclaiming the feral parts of yourself, listening to the pull of change, and learning how to shape all that restless momentum into something that can actual...

155: Ostara vs Spring Equinox

Back on the Broomstick: Old Witchcraft, New Path ·

2026/03/13

Spring is here… but what, and when, exactly are we celebrating? In this episode of Back on the Broomstick, Laylla and Chelle take a deep look at the sometimes confusing relationship between Ostara and the Spring Equinox. Are they the same holiday? Two separate observances? Or two different ways of looking at the same turning of the Wheel? Chelle believes the Spring Equinox should be honored as a moment of balance, when light and dark stand in perfect equality. For her, it is a sacred astron...

Back on the Broomstick: Old Witchcraft, New Path ·

2026/03/06

The hosts of BotB explore one of the most asked questions in modern witchcraft: Who is psychic? And the answer might surprise you… it’s probably everyone. Instead of treating psychic ability like a rare supernatural power, this episode looks at it the way many witches actually experience it: as a natural form of expanded perception that can be practiced, strengthened, and understood. The witches break down what psychic abilities really are, how they show up in everyday life, and why so many ...

2026/02/27

Spring doesn’t arrive politely, and neither does real change. In this episode, we’re talking about Ostara as it actually feels in your bones, not just the pastel version with bunnies and eggs. We explore the equinox as a hinge point, the only time when light and dark are truly balanced, and why that balance creates tension, storms, and movement. From ancient equinox observances aligned to the sun, to the modern Pagan celebration of Ostara shaped by the Wheel of the Year, we unpack where this...

We chat about learning to actually trust your intuition, reading tarot or runes for everyday mundane stuff just because y...

2026/02/06

What if someone had pulled you aside when you first started practicing and told you the stuff that actually matters? In this episode, we’re sharing five things we truly wish we’d known at the beginning of our witchcraft journeys. Not the aesthetic advice. Not the influencer version of magic. The real lessons you usually learn through trial, error, and the occasional smoke alarm. We talk about grounding (both the energetic kind and the nervous system kind), why you should stop waiting to fee...

149: Every Day Spells to get from Imbolc to Ostara

Back on the Broomstick: Old Witchcraft, New Path ·

2026/01/30

In this episode we’re settling into that long, liminal stretch between Imbolc and Ostara. The snow is still hanging around, the days are technically getting longer but it doesn’t always feel like it, and seasonal cranky shut in disorder is very real. This is a quiet and often deeply cold time of the year, where hope flickers but hasn’t fully taken shape yet. That’s exactly why we’re focusing on everyday magick. The simple, doable, low effort kind that helps you keep going when getting out of ...

Beyond Maiden, Mother, and Crone, there is another face of the Goddess. One that is rarely named, often hidden, and deeply powerful. In this episode of Back on the Broomstick, we continue our Deity Series by exploring the Fourth Face of the Goddess, the Dark Moon. Sometimes called the Warrior, sometimes the Queen, sometimes the Sovereign, this is the aspect that emerges when we stop performing who we were told to be and start living from our truth. We’ll revisit the roots of the Triple Godd...

2026/01/16

In this episode, the witches welcome the quiet, hopeful turning of the wheel with a deep dive into Imbolc, the ancient Celtic festival that marks the halfway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. Traditionally celebrated around February 1st and 2nd, Imbolc is a threshold moment, when the land is still cold and dark, but the return of the light has begun. Laylla and Chelle explore Imbolc’s roots, its meaning of “in the belly,” and its long association with new life, purific...

Welcome back to the deity series as the witches turn their attention to the Crone Goddess. In this episode, Laylla and Chelle explore what the Crone represents in modern witchcraft and how this powerful aspect of divinity shows up in real lives, not just at the end of a cycle, but anywhere wisdom, boundaries, and deep knowing are required. They talk honestly about their own relationships to the Crone. Chelle feels ready to step fully into that phase, while Laylla is… not quite there yet. Alo...

In this New Year’s Eve episode of Back on the Broomstick, the witches gather in the space between the year that has been and the year that is about to be. This is a liminal space between the old and the new. Laylla and Chelle talk about why setting intentions often feels more powerful and sustainable than making resolutions, and how choosing a single power word for the year ahead can act as a magical anchor when the road gets twisty.

This cozy Solarium episode finds Laylla and Chelle talking Yule preparations, winter self care, and stories of classic Yule cryptids like the Yule Cat, Mari Lwyd, and the ever-watchful Nisse, because of course they do.

In the fifth installment of their seven-part Deity Series, the witches turn toward the Goddess in her season of fullness: the Mother, the Maker, the Manifestor, the one who turns raw possibility into living, breathing reality. She is the bright fullness of the moon, the heat of summer, the hum of productivity, and the heartbeat that keeps community alive. Laylla and Chelle explore the Mother not only as the ancient figure of fertility but as a far more expansive and dynamic archetype for tod...
