  • 128: Fire Energy - A Sacred Spark of Transformation
    Aug 22 2025

    In the third episode of their five-part elemental series, the witches bring the focus to Fire; the element of transformation, will, passion, and creative spark. Laylla and Chelle explore how Fire lives in the body, in the hearth, and in the heart of every magical working that calls for courage and momentum. From candle flames to blazing bonfires, Fire asks us to show up, burn bright, and let go.

    They talk about classic Fire correspondences like action, desire, destruction, and inspiration; and share how to safely and powerfully raise Fire energy in your practice. Whether you’re doing spellwork for motivation, purification, or release, Fire offers the kind of energy that pushes through blocks and burns down what no longer serves.

    You’ll also hear practical tips for connecting to Fire through movement, visualization, candle spells, and more. Fire is heat and transformation in motion.

    So strike a match, set your intention, and let Fire burn a path through hesitation. May your magic be bold, your will be strong, and your cauldron never cold.

  • Air Meditation - Tranquility, Inspiration, and Clarity
    Aug 19 2025

    In this companion meditation episode to our Air Element discussion we’re slowing things down and tuning in to the most natural and magical tool we have, our breath.

    Laylla leads you through a gentle guided meditation with the element of Air, using two breathwork techniques to help you connect with the energies of tranquility, inspiration, and clarity of communication. Through a blend of witchy visualization and intentional breathing; this practice is designed to calm the chaos, sharpen the mind, and leave you feeling light, steady, and fully present.

    The meditation uses two breathing techniques. The first is the physiological sigh which is shown to release tension and activate the body’s natural relaxation response. The second is a simple mantra breath to anchor your awareness and raise air energy within.

    Whether you're new to meditation or have been practicing for a long spell (terrible pun intended), this is a beautiful way to connect with the element of Air through your body, your breath, and your spirit

  • 127: Air Energy - More than Inspiration, Incense, and Intuition
    Aug 15 2025

    In the second episode of their five-part elemental series, the witches turn their attention to Air; the whispering wind, the breath of life, and the spark of inspiration. Chelle and Laylla explore how this often underestimated element shows up in magical practice and daily life. From the feather-light qualities of thought and intention to the power of voice and communication, the witches talk about the qualities of and ways to work with air.

    They discuss the correspondences of Air like intellect, clarity, and beginnings. The witches also touch on how directional associations can vary depending on your tradition, with Air being tied to East in many Western traditions but North in other paths.

    Laylla shares a breath and bubble spell to help you connect with the energy of Air in an simple yet powerful way, combining visualization, intention, and breath to cleanse, charge, or empower yourself and your tools.

    So light your incense, whisper a spell to the breeze, and let Air move through your mind and spirit. Sometimes magic is in the hush of a breath, the turn of a page, or the way an idea can stir something deep within. Air is waiting, witch, may your thoughts be clear and your words carry power.
