Episode 125: The Help and Harm of Witchcraft Labels

Today, I’m sitting down to talk with Caireann of Hearth and Besom to chat about Slavic American Witchcraft and her multi-cultural practice! Once again, there was an issue with Zoom not liking my microphone, so there is some feedback and echo when I speak sometimes. It's not there all the time, and it doesn't impede the conversation, but if you struggle to hear what I say and still want to view the interview, please find the transcript in the description and the show notes. I promise the next episode will be better! All right, let's get into it. --- Get the Transcript: »» Find Caireann Online - ⁠Instagram: ⁠@hearth_and_besom⁠ »» Support the Show Become a Member: ⁠https://www.roundthecauldron.com/joinme »» Find me Online Website: ⁠https://www.roundthecauldron.com⁠ Shop: ⁠https://shop.roundthecauldron.com⁠⁠ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/roundthecauldron Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/round_the_cauldron 📚 Get 2 months of Scribd* free! ⁠https://www.scribd.com/g/8b11np⁠ ----- Any link marked with an asterisk (*) is an affiliate link.

The podcast is back! Things are going to be different on the podcast now as I bring on special guests. Anyone from authors, influencers, content creators, podcasters, and everyday people just like you are welcome on my show. I'm kicking off the reboot of 'Round the Cauldron with a very special guest! In today's episode, I speak with Brittany Jones, a witch, pagan, and pansexual woman running for president of the United States in 2024. We have an interesting and enlightening discussion about politics, paganism, and her plans for running the country. Note: Zoom apparently doesn't like my microphone so there are some audio issues when I speak sometimes. If this is a concern for you, please find the transcript linked below.

Today’s episode was inspired by the ever-changing path of the witch, or at least my ever-changing path. Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere, but I just wanted to talk a bit about finding your path, changing your mind, and making choices along the way.

Information overload can easily happen when researching witchcraft and paganism. Do you know what it looks like? Or how to combat the "symptoms" of too much information? Take a listen today as I talk about my experiences with information overload, what it looks like, and how I help myself overcome the challenges of easily accessible, and constant, information.

Self-care has become a large focus for me in my personal life, so much so that I find I have integrated my self-care practice and my witchcraft practice using different routines and ideas. I'm at the stage now of burnout recovery, so self-care but to an extreme. But what is self-care, and how should you approach it within a magical context? We're going to explore that today!   If you'd prefer a transcript, you can find this and past transcripts here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ATnoPoTD51xY6A46ay0F5moVxki-1X28?usp=sharing Become a Member: https://www.roundthecauldron.com/join-me Website: https://www.roundthecauldron.com   Shop: https://shop.roundthecauldron.com  NIH Analysis: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8488814/  Join my Discord server! https://discord.gg/eVB7P28zxA  💕 Find me Online!💕   Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/roundthecauldron   Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/round_the_cauldron   Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/rounthecauldron    📚 Get 2 months of Scribd* free! https://www.scribd.com/g/8b11np  ----- Any link marked with an asterisk (*) is an affiliate link.

Sometimes you just have to start over, ya know? Go back to the basics of your practice and really figure out what you enjoy, what matters the most to you, and how you can further deepen your connection to your faith and witchcraft! The last few years have seen tremendous growth in both my personal and witchy life. Both things and people have come and gone. Life has changed, my practice has changed, and I have changed. All of these changes have brought chaos and disconnection into my daily life, so I've been feeling the need to get back to basics, as they say, and really connect to my practice again from the beginning. This can be a fun and enlightening exercise in personal growth and self-awareness.

Do you label your witchcraft practice? Maybe you're a green witch, or a cottage witch, or a kitchen witch? In today's episode, I give my perspective and opinion on the different ways labels can help and harm your witchcraft practice. As always, this episode is simply one witch's thoughts! I don't personally label my witchcraft, though I have labeled my polytheistic practice. Don't forget that labels are community created and arbitrary -- they only matter if they matter to you!
