In this episode I’m talking about Scorpio and our upcoming new moon. I had a few other topics in mind for this episode, but as the words “new moon on Monday” came out of my mouth in a conversation a few days ago, I knew that was going to be a topic for today. I talk about the upcoming energy this weekend and how it might affect you personally by your moon sign. Spoiler alert – it isn’t great for most of us.

If you don’t know your moon sign, you can easily create a free natal (birth) chart online. Some free websites to do that are astrocharts.com and cafeastrology.com

Before all the Scorpio talk, I share a fun Halloween experience I had reading tarot at a local trunk or treat and make a few witchy service announcements, including:

In this special Samhain episode, I talk about end-of-life and the after-life from a very human perspective, honoring the dead and the details of my family’s ancestor feast, also known as a “dumb supper”, and calling upon the dead to assist us in our witchcraft. This is a lot of information packed into about 17 minutes!

Today's episode answers a question submitted to The Witch Is In. One of my listeners asked what she could do to ease a friend's pain from a terminal illness. While magic and witchcraft is never a substitute for medical care or physical pain management, there are ways we can use our magic to provide extra support to our loved ones.

I talk about therapeutic touch, plant magic and other simple spells that might be used in this situation.

In this episode I'm talking about those everyday witchcraft practices that bring magic into my life. One of the first places I started practicing witchcraft was in my kitchen, so I'm bringing some of that magic to you today. I talk a lot about my favorite foodgroup - cake, ways the tools in our kitchen might be used to create magic, and my personal secret to happiness.

I also share that I'm closing the retail/merchandise part of my business - which is good news for you because the prices have never been better! Go to lilithamberly.com to check out my shop.

The elements are an important part of my witchcraft practice. In this episode I'm talking all about water.

I share a story about the strange energy I associate with the natural landmark of Niagara Falls. It's a great example of how there is more than one energy associated with water. I also breakdown the energy by sub-elements - water of water, air of water, fire of water, and earth of water.

Listen in for ways you can include the magic of water in your witchcraft practice.
