• 122: Spellcrafting Series Part 2 - How to Write a Spell

  In part two of our Spellcraft Summer series, the witches pull out their journals (ahem, grimoires!) and walk you through the art and practice of writing your own spells. Whether you’re brand new to spellcraft or looking to make your magic more personal and effective, Laylla and Chelle are here to demystify the process and offer some grounded, magical guidance.They talk about intention as the core of any spell, how to choose the right format (spoken, written, enacted), and how to weave in correspondences, timing, and energy-raising techniques. You’ll hear why not all spells need to rhyme (but why it can help), and how even the simplest charm can carry big power when it’s aligned with your will and spirit. Chelle shares tips for organizing your spell structure, and Laylla explores the importance of storytelling, symbolism, and making your magic yours.This episode is part practical guide, part creative cauldron, and all about helping you craft spells that feel real, rooted, and ready to work. Got a question?

• 121: Spellcrafting Series Part 1 – Correspondences

  Welcome to the heart of Spellcraft Summer, witches! In the first episode of this special 3-part series on Spellcrafting 101, Laylla and Chelle crack open the grimoire to explore the foundational building blocks of spellwork: correspondences. What exactly are they, and why do they matter? The witches unpack the classic concept of "like attracts like" and the Doctrine of Signatures, an old magical belief that nature marks each plant and object with a clue (or signature) to its purpose.From colors and crystals to herbs, elements, days of the week, and planetary energies, the witches explore how correspondences give your spellwork structure, symbolism, and energetic alignment. They also talk about why you don’t have to memorize every book table out there and why Chelle swears by journaling your own experiences to build a personal system that’s way more powerful than a one-size-fits-all chart.Whether you're just beginning your spellwork journey or looking to refresh your practice, this episode is your warm, witchy invitation to deepen your magical language and start casting spells that truly speak to your magickal self. Got a question?
