Full Moon Magic: The Buck Moon (Growth, Courage, and Stepping into your Power)
One year ago, I nervously hit "publish" on the very first episode of Witch Beneath the Willow. Today, we're celebrating one full year, our 50th episode, and the final installment in our Full Moon Magick series.What a beautiful moon to end on.Known as the Buck Moon, this July full moon is named for the season when deer grow their magnificent antlers—a symbol of strength, resilience, and the quiet, steady growth that happens one day at a time. Together we'll explore the history behind this moon, its many traditional names, the folklore of the Wort Moon and Thunder Moon, old weather lore, magical correspondences, and why this year's Buck Moon in Aquarius encourages us to find strength not only within ourselves, but within our communities as well.As we close this chapter, I also want to take a moment to celebrate what we've built together over the past year. Whether you've been here since the very first episode or you've only recently found your way beneath the willow, thank you for making this little community what it is. I truly couldn't have imagined this journey, and I'm so grateful you've chosen to walk it with me.Journal Prompts:• What does the most confident version of yourself look and feel like?• What is one short-term goal and one long-term goal you want to focus your energy on? What practical steps can you begin taking this week to move toward them?Thank you for joining me beneath the willow tree. I'll see you in Season Two. nsta and TikTok: @witchbeneaththewillowKofi

Grimoire of the Gods: Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, Strategy & Sacred Craft
The audio in this episode sounds a little different than usual, and I wanted to acknowledge that right away. I’m recording from my new place after my recent move, and while I was hoping this setup would work, it’s safe to say… this isn’t it. Thank you for bearing with me while I get settled—I’ll be experimenting with a different recording space for next week to get us back to the cozy sound we’re used to.Athena is one of the most recognizable goddesses in Greek mythology, but she is so much more than simply the goddess of wisdom. She is the goddess of strategy, craftsmanship, justice, and thoughtful leadership—the calm voice that reminds us to pause before we act and to seek understanding before certainty.In this week's Grimoire of the Gods, we're exploring Athena's remarkable birth from the mind of Zeus, her rivalry with Poseidon for the city of Athens, the tragic story of Arachne, her role in the Trojan War, and why she became the trusted guide of so many legendary heroes. We'll also talk about her symbols and correspondences, signs she may be reaching out, and practical ways to honor her in a modern witchcraft practice.As always, we'll close with Living the Spell, where you'll find:A ritual to invite wisdom and clarity into your lifeAn Athena-inspired herbal tea blendA crafting invocation to weave protection and intention into every stitchSo pour yourself something warm, settle in beneath the willow, and let's turn another page in our Grimoire of the Gods together.Kofi

Apothecary Notes: The Myth, Magic, and Medicine of Chamomile
This week, we're spending time with one of the most beloved herbs in the apothecary: chamomile.Often known as a simple bedtime tea, chamomile has a much deeper story to tell. Together we'll explore its ancient history, folklore, magical correspondences, medicinal uses, and the surprising role this tiny flower has played in human lives for thousands of years. From the temples of Ancient Egypt to medieval cottage floors, from dream magic and protection rituals to herbal medicine and garden wisdom, chamomile has earned its reputation as a plant capable of almost anything.So brew yourself a cup of tea, get comfortable, and join me for another installment of Apothecary Notes as we explore the myth, magic, and medicine of chamomile.In this episode:• The history and folklore of chamomile• Ancient Egyptian, Anglo-Saxon, and European traditions• Chamomile's magical uses for purification, protection, sleep, luck, and prosperity• Herbal actions, energetics, and medicinal benefits• Growing and harvesting chamomile in the apothecary garden• Safety considerations and dosage information• A calming herbal tea blend• A chamomile spell for resilience and gentle growthTikTok and Insta: WitchbeneaththewillowKofi

Grimoire of the Gods: Ares, God of War, Courage, and the Inner Battle
A quick note before you dive in: you may notice that my audio sounds a little different in this episode. Somewhere along the way, my microphone seems to have decided it had other plans, and despite my best efforts, I couldn't pinpoint the issue before recording. The result is a slightly tinny sound that isn't quite up to my usual standards. Thank you for bearing with me this week while I troubleshoot the problem, and I promise I'll be working on it before next Monday's episode.This week, we're stepping onto the battlefield to meet Ares, the Greek god of war, courage, conflict, and survival.Often remembered only for bloodlust and battle, Ares is one of the most misunderstood figures in Greek mythology. Together we'll explore his myths, his relationship with Aphrodite, his connection to the Amazons, the lessons hidden within his defeats, and the deeper truths he reveals about anger, courage, resilience, and the parts of ourselves we often try to keep hidden.I have to admit, I was genuinely surprised by how relevant Ares still feels thousands of years later. What began as an episode about the god of war quickly became an exploration of the battles we fight every day—against fear, grief, self-doubt, burnout, injustice, and the voice in our heads telling us to give up. Exploring Ares' energy ended up feeling far more empowering than I ever expected.In this episode, we'll also discuss ways to work with Ares in modern spiritual practice, including correspondences, offerings, shadow work, fire divination, a protective candle ward, an armor enchantment for jewelry, and an invocation for strength during difficult seasons of life.So pour yourself a cup of tea, settle in, and join me beneath the willow as we explore the myths and magic of Ares.TikTok and Insta: @WitchBeneathTheWillowKofi

New Orleans Magic: A City of Spirits, Roots, and Living Tradition
This week’s episode is a little different… and a little special.After a recent trip to New Orleans, I found myself completely enchanted by the spirit of the city—the history, the people, the magic woven into every street, garden, and storefront. So instead of our usual structure, this episode is more of a journey… a storytelling walk through one of the most spiritually alive places in America.Together, we’ll explore the layered magic of New Orleans—from its rich blend of cultural and spiritual traditions to the lives of the women who shaped its mystical legacy, including Marie Laveau, Mary Oneida Toups, and Wilhelmina Mullen. We’ll gently touch on the differences between Voodoo, Hoodoo, and modern witchcraft, and reflect on what it means to practice with reverence in a place so deeply rooted in ancestral tradition.I’ll also share pieces of my own experience in the city—moments that felt sacred, grounding, and quietly transformative—and, of course, we’ll still close with a “Living the Spell” section inspired by the heart of New Orleans magic: community, connection, and care.This episode is just a glimpse—a soft introduction to a city that holds far more than can be captured in a single conversation.And don’t worry… our regular programming will return next week.Until then, come wander with me.
