My Queer (LGBTQ+) Ancestor Altar
To celebrate Pride month, I set up an ancestor altar to honor the beloved dead of the LGBTQ+ community! Ancestor worship has always been something that I was interested in, but hesitant to engage with. Like many queer folks, I don’t feel a strong connection to my biological ancestors, and in fact many of them…

Earth-Friendly Witchcraft (Baby Witch Bootcamp, Ch. 34)
Whatever religious or spiritual tradition they identify with, most witches agree that there is something sacred about the natural world. We draw our power from the earth beneath our feet, the sky over our heads, and the air in our lungs. And yet, many of us live in societies that are actively contributing to the…

Keeping Consumerism out of Your Craft (Baby Witch Bootcamp Ch. 33)
Consumerism is a set of socioeconomic conditions and attitudes that encourage the continual acquisitions of goods and services.

Little Acts of Everyday Magic (Baby Witch Bootcamp Ch. 21)
Many witches, regardless of skill level, struggle to feel magical in their everyday lives. If you’re only engaging with magic during your monthly full moon rituals, it can be hard to feel like a powerful witch on the other 30ish days of the month. The trick is to find small, everyday acts to make life…

Banishing Nasty Spirits (Baby Witch Bootcamp Ch. 19)
If you’ve been following this series of posts, you know why a witch might work with spirits, how to establish a relationship with a spirit, and how to communicate with spirits. What we haven’t yet discussed is how to get rid of spirits that are bothersome, annoying, or malevolent. I was planning to talk about…

Communicating with Spirits (Baby Witch Bootcamp Ch. 18)
On this blog, we’ve talked about why witches might want to work with spirits, types of spirits they might work with, and the proper etiquette for establishing a relationship with a spirit. What we haven’t yet talked about is one of the most important, but sometimes most frustrating, elements of spirit work: communication. There are…

How To Cast Real Spells That Work (Baby Witch Bootcamp Ch. 6)
In her book Wicca for Beginners Thea Sabin says, “When you do a spell, you are telling the universe that you intend to bring about a certain change and you are putting the energy in motion to achieve that end.” A spell is sort of an energetic shove to get things moving in the way…
