The Witch Way Spellcast

Gemini Full Moon - Strive for Clarity

This episode is a rather cathartic one. The Gemini Moon astrology wants us to THINK before we act, and make sure we've done enough research to support our perspectives on things. The Tarot is warning against apathy and laziness of mind, and we are being asked to seek answers within our deepest, most sensitive selves. I interviewed the enigmatic Sarah Furuya about her journey into sobriety and peri-menopause, and there's a piano song that will pull at the heart strings for you as well. Thank you for listening this year. Bring on 2024. 
 
Original Piano Instrumental - "Lady Lagonda" 

Taurus Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse - S**t or Get Off the Pot

Hello Friends in Near and Far Away Places, tis a full moon eclipse in the sign of the Bull. No BS. Literally. Taurus hates change, but recognizes that it's no good to stay stuck, no matter how bull-headed one might be. It's time to own it like you mean it, face up to your own BS and see it as something to compost! Carnage, carnival and carne (pleasures of the flesh) are the themes of this moon. Halloween/Samhain is the traditional time of the ancestors, and a time to enjoy the skin you're in, so live it up my pretties and your little dogs too! Hee Hee Hee!!! 
Original song: "Sing the Land" 

Aries Super Full Moon - Brave New World

Konnichiwa my comrades! It's a vibrant Aries Full Moon coming fast on the heels of the Equinox. It's Mabon/Ostara and the year is shifting again. Be bold and brave fearless warrior, and mighty forces will come to your aid. Aries is the Initiator, so keep working on that inner healing and tune into mental disciplines to aid in your new found energy to action. We are the Future Dreamers. 
*Please excuse my laziness this episode regarding Greco-Roman god names and attributions! (Venus = Aphrodite, Juno = Hera)
Original song: "Ostara/Kore chant" - music by Sorcha Chisholm, words by Starhawk

Pisces Full Moon / Gayle de Angelis interview - Blue Moon!

Hey y'all, it's fishy-wishy moony moon time, and Mercury has gone AWOL again, but all is good, just keep on dreamin' the good dream! I had an extraordinary chat with Gayle de Angelis about her acapella group "Heartstrings", the power of Leonard Cohen's songs, ranting at the radio and herbal remedies from her love garden.
Cover songs:
- "If it be your Will" - Leonard Cohen, sung by Heartstrings- "Blue Moon" - Rodgers/Hart, sung by Sorcha

Capricorn Super Moon - Climb Every Mountain

Hey all, it's a Capricorn Super Moon which is bleating at us to get on with the Work, but also to take a moment and take in the view from the top of the mountain that is YOU - what's ahead, sure, but more importantly, how far you've come. Give thanks and gratitude and celebrate the wild in whatever way you deem fit, Child of Earth! 
Cover song - Climb Every Mountain (Rodgers/Hammerstein)

Scorpio Lunar Eclipse - Release the Beast it’s Beltane!

Hey there my beautiful beasts, it's a Beltane full moon lunar eclipse in sexy, strange, seductive Scorpio! My birthday happened to fall on the same night as the full moon so I decided to do a random party recording and some dear friends dropped in for some deep musings on this powerful Sabbat. I hope this lunar eclipse assists you in your transformation from scuttling Scorpion to exultant Phoenix!
 
Original song: "The Garden"

Virgo Full Moon - Ducks in a Row

Hey everyone, Sorcharess here with another spell cast for the full moon. This month it's all about taking the time to heal, recuperate and dream up a bright future for yourself. I'm a bit melancholic myself at the moment, but I ain't gonna be no victim, just let it ride itself out til I'm ready to re-emerge as something gorgeous! Original Song: "Chrysalis" 

Lions and Tigers and Bears oh my! Leo Full Moon/ interview with Anneliese Nakahara-Knight

Miaow my cats and thanks for listening in to this spell cast for the full moon in Leo! It's the kind of moon that may have your cats skittering around the room like demons from hell because la Luna is squaring off with that irrational paradigm shifter planet Uranus (in the physical sign of Taurus) Not to worry! Perhaps a good sing will help. We'll learn all about the benefits of singing from Anneliese Nakahara-Knight, co-founder of MotherSong Japan. 
Featured original LIVE song: "Black Red Blue"
