Welcome back to a new episode and season of the WuW Podcast! We’re excited to be back after an unexpected and unplanned hiatus…

TLDR: We both had a mix of personal shit that took up more time and energy, so we decided to put off the livestream until we could do it justice.

For this episode, we mostly follow our usual stuff between politics, tarot, and general chatting between tokes-er… takes… with some added information on how we’ll do future episodes.

So welcome to SEASON 3 EPISODE 1 of the WuW Podcast!

We both have a couple of book recommendations and are going to alternate between chatty smoke sessions, FertiliTEA informational episodes, and our standard witchy content.

Stay tuned for more!

🧹Later, Witches!💕

This episode of the podcast is a highlight of what I call “FertiliTEA”. Considering the current political climate, the attack on reproductive rights and birth control, it feels particularly important to talk about fertility and the myths vs facts.

Every few weeks, we will air an episode of FertiliTEA on the WuW Podcast! Don’t forget to drop any questions you have about pregnancy, safe sex practices, and more. Think of me like your aunty who isn’t afraid to tell you the truth about your period (and who always seems to have black cohosh on hand for some reason).

🧹Later, Witches!💕

Welcome to a new episode of the podcast. While this originally aired weeks ago, I never had a chance to edit and post.

Keep an eye on your notifications as more posts will be sent out this week. Last night we aired Season 3, Episode 1: “We’re Back, Witches!” on YouTube and Substack. You can watch the unedited livestream now on YT and the edited version will be posted to Substack later this week.

S3E2 will be an informal chat and smoke session. Bring your witchy questions (or ANY questions!) and sit for a spell with us.

Do you feel the magic in the air? So much power is brimming so don't neglect to take advantage of this amazing opportunity! Is it raining where you are? What a perfect opportunity to collect storm water! Already heavily charged by the full moon tonight as well 🌕 Remember to work smarter, not harder! 😜

Next episode will be more structured, back on track with our normal routine. Don’t forget to join Kitty tonight on TikTok for some free tarot readings! You can find us everywhere under the “wutupwitches” tag.

Drop a comment, share a funny story, be chaotic, let’s get this show on the road!

Later, Witches <3

Last week and this week we will be having fun and chatting. Less serious topics, more laughs, come smoke, chat, and cackle with us.

See you tomorrow night for the next episode!

Later, Witches!

Yesterday was my anniversary so I'm going to be taking this weekend off.

Here's an unedited TikTok Livestream from the other night, Friday March 6th, where I pulled some free tarot readings! Join me next week for more both here and on TikTok.

The next episode of the ✨WuW🔮 Podcast 🎙️ will be NEXT SUNDAY, March 15th. See you then!

💕Later, Witches!🧹

Are you a parent to a neurodivergent child? Chances are that you’re a bit NeuroSpicy yourself. Getting a diagnosis can be very tricky depending on the quality of care available to you.

However, getting a diagnosis for yourself can make it easier for your child(ren) in the future. It can also be an act of political resistance.

💕Later, Witches!🧹

For Part 30 I want to address an important subject around women’s health especially… “have you tried losing weight?” If a doctor ever suggests that your weight is the CAUSE of your health issues and not a SYMPTOM, find a new doctor, request a second opinion, or even a patient advocate depending on the seriousness.

Remember.. doctors are NOT authority figures. They are meant to HELP you and LISTEN to you, because you know your body best.

💕Later, Witches!🧹

There are many reasons to seek out a diagnosis and there are many reasons not to. Either way is VALID! There is no wrong way to be neurodivergent.

It’s just me tonight as Elly had something come up last minute. We’ll get together and regroup on when we can follow up! In the meantime, listen to me yap to myself, hehe!

This is primarily a “Read With Me” Episode as I spend most of this time reading chapter 15 of “Black AF History The Un-Whitewashed Story of America” by Michael Harriot.

It’s Black History Month! February is starting off well with the return of Liam and his father who were kidnapped by ICE a few weeks ago and trafficked to Texas, where Liam got sick and wasn’t doing well. Remember, We The People are the ones who will make things right.

💕Later, Witches!🧹

Don’t forget to tune in this Sunday, February 1st at 9:30PM EST for S2E3 of the 🎙️Podcast! We will be talking about Imbolc, Epstein Files, library finds, tarot readings, and more!

I’ll also try to go live again Saturday night for some free personal tarot readings - but it’ll depend on how quickly the kids actually go to sleep…

💕Later, Witches!🧹

Sorry it’s late, but I suppose better late than never! Here is this month’s tarot reading and join me Tuesday night for more. I’ll be pulling cards for the next few weeks and the month of February (to hopefully post on time).

Here's your ✨Magical Activism🪧 assignment for the week. Call your reps and demand accountability for Alex Jeffrey Pretti.

Just a reminder, this is all my own personal opinion. I’m not a professional, but I do consider myself a bit of an expert as an actually autistic person who has been learning about the psychology of autism and ADHD and other neurodivergencies for over a decade.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I don’t believe it’s possible to take the abuse out of a practice that was founded on abuse. There are alternatives to ABA therapy.

💕Later, Witches!🧹

For part 27, I answer a question on how I deal with autistic meltdowns as an adult. I also touch a bit on the subject of independence.

Next time, I’ll discuss my thoughts on ABA therapy and why ASAN does not recommend it for autistic children.

💕Later, Witches!🧹

For part 26 of my 🧠NeuroSpicy🌶️ collection, I share my thoughts on the new Autistic Barbie.

Since Autistic Barbie was created with input from autistic individuals and ASAN (Autistic Self-Advocacy Network), I feel like they really did work hard to make it inclusive. But what are your thoughts?

💕Later, Witches!🧹

For part 25 of my 🧠NeuroSpicy🌶️ collection, I talk about why this is the most terrible advice I’ve ever received as an Au/DHD person. Especially as an impressionable child or young adult.

What questions do you have about Autism, ADHD, and other Neurodivergencies? Drop a comment and I’ll respond with a video!

💕Later, Witches!🧹

Welcome to part 24 of my 🧠Au/DHD and NeuroSpicy🌶️ collection.

Let’s be honest, doctors aren’t always the most reliable when it comes to following up. If you’ve been on a waiting list for over THREE YEARS, they forgot to put you on the list at all.

Remember, you’re in charge of your healthcare. Doctors work for YOU, not the other way around. If your current one isn’t working out, fire them and find a new one.

💕Later, Witches🧹

Every so often, I’ll read aloud for you a chapter or two of a book I’m currently reading. I think it’s important for us to share knowledge, information, and literature. Especially when it’s a memoir like this one.

Visit your library, borrow a Hoopla/Libby audiobook version, or click here to get your own copy of “Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice” by Virginia Roberts Giuffre.

We have to fight back in every possible way. Resistance is in everything we do, where we shop, what we wear, in our medical charts, etc. So let’s share how we’re fighting back.

The 🌙Magic of Activism🪧 - Witchcraft is Political🌈

This 2026 New Year has been heavy and difficult, very reminiscent of the stress and grief that accompanied the January 6th Insurrection in 2021. In fact, the day after the 5 year anniversary of that attempted overthrowing of the United States Government, ICE Agent Jonathon Ross murdered Renee Nicole Good, a military widow, a mother of three, and a wife. The news of this brought into light another death by an off-duty ICE agent during the New Years celebration, when Keith Porter Jr was murdered.

The 🧠NeuroSpicy🌶️ Saga

Combining the ⚕️Medical with the Mystical✨ to Live in Harmony with Ourselves…

Since Elly and I both are Neurodivergent and I have been very recently (as of December 2025 recently) diagnosed with Autism Level 2 and ADHD Combined Type, we are going to dedicate a segment to talking about the overlap between the medical and the magical. How do we incorporate our witchcraft into our neurodivergent way of thinking? Is there a link between being neurodivergent and “witchy”? These are the kinds of things we will discuss in future episodes!

You can also checkout our playlist on “Autism, ADHD & Other NeuroSpicies” where we’ll be adding videos weekly!

🎴”Is He Dead Yet?”🎴 & “Three for Thee” Oracle🌕

We’ve got some hopeful news in terms of whether or not Donald Trump will live to see the midterms in November this year, and Elly pulled some strikingly similar cards for “Three for Thee”! Watch us compare notes…

The 🔮Witchy Librarian📚

Every week, we’ll share if we’ve been reading anything particularly interesting, insightful, or relevant to the topic of conversation. Elly gave us a preview of what we’ll discuss next week, and I shared how life works in mysterious ways as I checked out my book by Rebecca Traister on December 27th (just days before Keith Porter Jr would be murdered and a week before Renee Good’s murder).

“Your Personal Horoscope 2026” by Lars Mellis

Tonight, Sunday the 11th, we will be going live for Episode 1 of Season 2 of the podcast!

We will be changing things up a little bit, so join the chaos and the magic with us tonight.

⚠️Content and Trigger Warnings⚠️

We will be discussing difficult topics around recent events such as the state sanctioned murders of Keith Porter Jr and Renee Nicole Good by ICE.

We also may often talk about hard subjects, like religious trauma, sexual assault, and other mature themes in future episodes, so discretion is advised and our target audience is 18+ only.

You can find us here on Substack or on YouTube for the livestreams!

Later, Witches!

💕Kitty & Elly

I don’t think we’re angry enough yet. Please, I need the hope core. Let me know what steps you’re taking in the comments so I can go back to thinking most people are actually good and it’s a loud minority fucking everything up for the rest of us.

I will be doing free tarot tonight still, though I can’t guarantee my mood will be light with the heaviness of the day.

Later, Witches

Adrianna Smith should be here. But she’s not. She should be alive to hold Chase and read him bedtime stories and help him with homework. Her mother, April Newkirk, should be consoling her about losing her pregnancy. Not having to spend every single dollar they have and receive through their GoFundMe on paying for Chance’s extensive and likely lifelong medical care.

Looking back on 2025 and all that happened, I wonder if we’ll ever know the extent of the torture, the sexual assault, the human trafficking, the murder of humans through the trump regimes efforts of dictatorship.

In addition to moving my tarot readings, NeuroSpicy collection, and other videos over to Substack from TikTok, I also wanted to add my inclusion of some of the most impactful books I’ve read in 2025.

Bear with me while I get these all posted and I may edit the descriptions later with more information.

Later, Witches! 😘

We are FINALLY caught up with my 🌈Au/DHD and Neuro🌶️ Collection!

The stigma associated with being neurodivergent, especially autistic, is unfortunately still very real in today’s society. If we had a more inclusive public awareness and governmental benefits program for ALL children, then the ND ones wouldn’t fall through the cracks so much. However, as it currently stands, many adults are still battling their own internalized ableism.

⚠️Starting Wednesday, January 7th⚠️ I will post a weekly video on the topic of Neurodivergence and my journey as a late diagnosed Autistic L2 and ADHD-combined type adult.

If you have a question you want me to answer, or a topic idea, drop it in the comments! 💬

Later, Witches 😘

How did I find my doctor / testing center? Well, I’ll be honest… if you can use a computer, it’s really easy. For part 21, I do discuss barriers to finding care, treatment, and diagnosis, as where you live and your insurance or financial situation is going to make a HUGE difference in your options.

There is only one part left in my Au/DHD and Neuro🌶️ Collection from TikTok! Thank you all for bearing with me while I’m getting content shifted over.

Later, Witches! 😘

Why don’t we use the diagnosis of Asperger’s Syndrome anymore? For part 20 I give a brief rundown on the DSM4 vs DSM5 and what used to be labeled Asperger’s is now Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Level 1.

While the term may not be assigned anymore, it’s up to you if you still prefer using your original diagnosis or the updated version. After all, we can’t expect a group of people who are known to HATE CHANGE to be cool with randomly changing an integral part of their identity.

Later, Witches! 😘

For part 19 I share how I personally went through my skill regressions and burnouts over the years, and specifically the big one that left me more disabled than ever. If I were diagnosed as a kid, I guarantee I would’ve been labeled level 1. As an adult, I’ve lost so much that I struggle more than ever, and am diagnosed level 2.

Skills can be regained, but it takes time. Be patient and kind with yourself while you recover. It’s not a race, and pushing yourself before you’re ready is only going to push you back into burnout.

Later, Witches 😘

Have you ever questioned if you’re the “only one” in your family who struggles with neurodivergence? I have a secret to share… Unless you’re NOT genetically related to your family, it didn’t come from thin air. Someone in your gene pool shares the same struggles.

I also can’t wait for my mom to realize exactly how autistic my dad was… that man… “the most normal man she ever knew”… was autistic as FUCK!

Later, Witches 😘

How can you tell if you were actually diagnosed accurately? Part 17 I share how my ADHD was originally MISSED! Despite having had a soft-diagnosis already in a different state AND a mother who is officially diagnosed, I masked too well during the exam that my autism overshadowed my ADHD. So what did I do about it? I spoke up!

Don’t ever be afraid to be your own self-advocate or to ask for a second opinion. It’s okay to question the professionals because they might be the experts on the disorder, but only YOU are the expert when it comes to knowing yourself.

Later, Witches 😘

We always want to help our loved ones, just remember… you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink. For part 16, I go over some ways you can encourage your friend by providing them with information, but otherwise leaving them alone.

Remember, it’s not our job to save everyone. If people want help, they’ll ask for it. If you’ve offered and they declined, just make sure they know the offer still stands and then leave the ball in their court. This is true for pretty much all contexts, not just for autism and ADHD.

Later, witches! 😘

Did I feel relief with my diagnosis? Yes, but part 15 also highlights the vindication I felt and the exhaustion, too…

I use a similar car metaphor to describe executive dysfunction. It’s a very helpful visualization when you need to explain the disconnect between your mind and body.

Later, Witches 😘

In part 14, I want to address this kind of common (and usually mean-spirited) question… “and now what?” Piggybacking off of a previous video where I mention the awful “why get diagnosed? There’s no cure for autism”, the fact is that having a label means I can better advocate for myself and my children.

Do you crochet or knit or craft in any way? This is a common self-regulation technique! What other ways do you find yourself regulating?

Later, witches 😘

For this part 13, I talk about how even the most extensive testing by today’s DSM5 standards can STILL result in a misdiagnosis. Self-Advocacy is crucial here!

My diagnosis journey has been a real eye opening experience, not just with my mental health but also with my understanding of my own spirituality and witchcraft. I’m excited to explore this more on a weekly basis!

Later, Witches 😘

If you’re autistic AF as I am, you may have heard the annoying phrases that minimize your desire for a label. “There’s no cure for autism, why get diagnosed?” Part 12 talks about that stigma and where to go to find additional resources when the doctors are just another obstacle in your path.

P.S. Did you notice my kitty cat chillin? Her name is Nala, she’s a good girl.

Later, witches 😘

We are halfway there! Welcome to part 11 where I walk you through the diagnosis process as I experienced it. For context, I am on Medicaid and I reside in the state of Ohio.

Let me know in the comments if you have other questions you’d like me to address next week!

Later, witches 😘

⚠️Trigger Warning⚠️ for part 10 as I discuss the major traumatic event in my life that triggered my adult burnout in my late 20s. Almost dying from COVID-19 during the pandemic in 2021 left me with many scars, and I don’t just mean the metaphorical kind.

Starting next week, you can expect only one video per week on the topic of Au/DHD and Neurodivergence. I just have to get the TikTok dump over and done with!

Later, witches 😘

For part 9, I discuss how my family unknowingly accommodated me growing up. We knew what we needed, we just didn’t know why we needed it and assumed everyone was like us. As a SAHM of 2 myself, I want to be proactive in making our home more NeuroSpicy-Friendly.

More magic is coming - stay tuned!

Later, witches 😘

In part 8 of this Au/DHD series, I dig into whether or not my diagnosis of Autism level 2 and ADHD combined type actually makes any difference. Perhaps it doesn’t actually change the outcome of my life, but it does give me the tools I need to live it more freely.

More to come soon!

Later, witches! 😘

Part 7 of my Au/DHD and Neuro🌶️ collection discusses the difference between an excuse for behavior and an explanation.

Having a diagnosis doesn’t excuse me to be a shitty person. It simply explains why I’ve struggled with meeting expectations where others have no issues.

Don’t forget to subscribe for more content like this! Once I move all 22 parts of this collection over from TikTok, I will update my format to be better suited for Substack.

Later, witches! 😘

Here is part 6 (no one has to know I accidentally labeled it part 11 on TikTok… oops…) of my Au/DHD and Neuro🌶️ collection!

If you’re seeking a diagnosis for yourself or your child, it’s important to be your own advocate. No one else will, it’s necessary for you to explicitly take control of your mental health.

Parts 7-22 will be out soon with more to come! Have a question? Drop it in the comments 💬

Later, witches! 😘

TikTok is being shitty (no surprise there) so I’m only going live on Substack until further notice!

For this version of “The Sacrilegious Tarot Testimony”, I’ve pulled cards for the month of January and a Daily Card for January 4th - 10th.

So let’s get into it!

Welcome to part 5 of my Au/DHD and Neuro🌶️ Collection!

In the DSM4, we had Asperger’s Syndrome and Autism as two separate conditions. We now know that these are really part of the same spectrum. According to the current DSM5 (which is frankly due for an update) there are 3 levels of Autism Spectrum Disorder. I personally am diagnosed level 2.

See you tomorrow for part 6!

Later, Witches! 😘

Welcome to part 4 of my Au/DHD and Neuro🌶️ collection where I talk about my experience.

The idea that some of us are “the next step in human evolution” is really deep in eugenics and supremacy nonsense. Let’s do better than that, please.

Tune in for part 5-22 as I continue to upload this series over from TikTok!

Later, Witches! 😘

Welcome to Part 3 in my Au/DHD and Neuro🌶️ Collection! Tell the truth, have you ever used this phrase?

“Everyone is a little insert diagnosis here” - no, no they aren’t… and if you believe this, I have some news for you, boo!

Thanks for hanging out with me and tune in for part 4 soon!

Later, Witches! 😘

Welcome to Part 2 in my Au/DHD and Neuro🌶️ Collection. Of course, people aren’t going to always believe you when you disclose your diagnosis.

Why was I diagnosed level 2 instead of level 1? Why are there different levels in the first place? Well, the DSM5 is why. That and… trauma…

Thanks for joining and tune in for part 3!

Later, Witches! 😘

Welcome to part 1 of my Au/DHD and Neuro🌶️ Collection!

In this video, I detail how I went about getting diagnosed on Medicaid and what that meant for me.

These videos were originally created on TikTok and as a result are responses to comments received there.

Stay tuned for part 2-22!

Later, Witches! 😘

I was posting this collection on TikTok but I want to move all my content to Substack, so let’s start with this!

Stay tuned for the uploads and let me know if you have any questions! I’ll be going live every week on Substack to discuss more.

Later, Witches! 😘

This episode is the first one where we streamed on both Substack and TikTok! Hence the new layout this week. Next week, we’ll try out the landscape layout. It might look funky on the livestream but will be a better viewing experience for recording. Sorry for not editing the full video - time got away from me…

This week, we discuss where our inspiration comes from, and how we find it within ourselves when we find our wells running dry. Between illness, burnout, migraines, and more, it’s hard to feel magical sometimes.

Let’s get into it…

It’s now negatively impacting all facets of your life & making it impossible to function.

Now is the time to make good moments & learn to treasure them as they come.”

* No. 17 Flower: Be Honest With Yourself - “We do ourselves a major disservice when we aren’t truthful with ourselves. There’s something you know to be true, yet you continue to ignore it.

We want to issue a specific trigger warning for this week’s episode. While we often talk about various difficult or controversial topics, this week, we discuss religious trauma and how it affected our childhoods.

Our topic this week: Is religion harmful for children? If not, why does religious trauma often show up in the form of cPTSD in adults?”

Let’s get into it…

Witchy Tips of the Week

Elly: It’s important to keep your vitamin D levels up! Especially in the winter when we don’t have as much access to daylight (at least, in our hemisphere). Remember to consult with your doctor on the exact dosage, but you’d be surprised how much a daily supplement can help reduce the effects of seasonal depression!

Kitty: This week’s Tarot Tutorial focuses on The Empress (III) of the Major Arcana and the number three cards in the Minor Arcana (Three of Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles).

* No. 30 Castle: It’s Time for Healing, Not War - “don’t burn something down to the ground unless you have a plan to build something better in its place. But it’s too late for that, isn’t it? You got angry, you pointed fingers. You called for war, and war was exactly what you got. Now that it’s time for healing and reparations, what’s your plan? You need to take the same initiative and determination you had when this started and figure it out. Never neglect your intuition.”

* No. 29 Feast: Slow Down and Celebrate Yourself - “sometimes life gets a little too hectic, and the inevitable happens: we forget to take a breather and celebrate what deserves celebration. Make sure you do that from now on. If we never stop to fully recognize the good we have, then the bad stuff can knock us down much harder than it would have otherwise.”

Did you miss last episode? Yeah, us, too! Apparently TikTok was the only version that ended up recording, and it was lost on Substack and Twitch… as a result, we went back to live-streaming on YouTube for now, since it saves those streams automatically. Maybe we’ll upload that as a secret blooper “lost episode” one day…?

Anyway, this week we talk about how Halloween evolved from the ancient celebrations of Samhain (pronounced “Sow-win”) and the origins of Día de los Muertos, both of which have ties to All Saints and All Souls Days (Nov 1st and 2nd).

Let’s get into it…

Witchy Tips of the Week

Elly: For this week, we answered a listener’s question from a previous TikTok livestream!

“How do you know what ‘kind’ of witch you are?How do I know if I’m a Green Witch?”

The short answer - you get to decide that for yourself, and nobody gets to tell you that you’re wrong! If you like plants, you can be a “Green Witch”; it’s genuinely that simple.

Kitty: We are doing a weekly Tarot Tutorial to help you learn how to read tarot cards! In the secret episode 11, I went over how to read The Magician (I) and all of the Aces. This week, we go over #2 with The High Priestess (II) and every Two card in the Minor Arcana.

After all, it does have a habit of making you believe that other girls are your competition & that they must behave perfectly at all times. Step back & take the time to figure it out - it’s not always clear at first! - instead of acting rashly.”

* No. 15 Garden: Something Lovely Will Grow From This - “Either we sit around & dwell on our pain or we learn how to grow something lovely out of it. Ready or not, it’s time for the next chapter of your life. Do the thing you feel you most need to do in order to aid your healing, even if it feels selfish. Sometimes it needs to be a little selfish in order for it to work in the long run. Worry about focusing on you for now.”

* No. 25 Mural: Be Your Own First Priority - “Whatever you’re currently grappling with, you must put yourself first. When you’re on an airplane, they always tell you to put on your own oxygen mask before you try to help your neighbor with theirs. That is to say, if you don’t make sure your own energy bar is full, then you’ll have no energy to give someone else. Be brave enough to admit when you need to take a step back from the demands of others & work on making sure you’re okay.”

If you haven’t gotten your library card yet, this is your chance! There is a big beautiful boycott going on and we are actively NOT spending money unless we need to.

Our money is political, so if you have more of it than others, donate it to food pantries and libraries so that they can fund our communities.

Libraries offer so many opportunities to connect with people in your town or city. You might be surprised at everything that they have, especially for free! Parents especially need to take advantage of this, because the children’s sections are usually the BEST places to be! I love the librarians at mine, and it makes the world a better place when you can surround yourself with the people that are actively working to make it that way.

Oh, and I didn’t bother to edit so you’re getting the entire over 2 hour episode uncut!

Wut Up, Witches?!

Don’t mind us, our cameras were acting up (well, Elly’s was and we tried to do TikTok at the same time) so just pretend it’s the other kind of audio-only podcast this week.

The topic of this week involves Signs from the Universe.How do you tell the difference between a “coincidence” and a “signal”?

Let’s get into it…

Witchy Tips of the Week

Elly: Smart Goals! (Courtesy of the Read of the Week below) We are not making miracles, we are “making the possible probable”. S - SpecificM - Measurable A - Aligned / Attainable / Achievable R - Reasonable / Relevant / RealisticT - Timely

Kitty: Open up the windows and experience the winds of change airing out your home and take advantage of weather magic! In some places, you might be experiencing autumn/fall in a way where it’s still warm during the day and cool and crisp in the evenings and mornings. Enjoy the seasons and weather in ways that make you feel powerful!

Witchy Reads of the Week

Elly: “Spells from Scratch: How to Craft Spells That Work” by Phoenix Silverstar - was able to find it for less than $10 on Half Price Books!

Kitty: “The Awakened Brain: The New Science of Spirituality and Our Quest for an Inspired Life” by Lisa Miller, PhD - also on Half Price Books but also might be able to find cheaper on other websites.

Don’t forget to take advantage of your local library! Many of them offer mobile book deliveries if you’re not able to travel there, or give you the opportunity to use your library card for e-books, streaming services, and MORE!

Tarot Time

Kitty: “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Tarot Deck and Guidebook” - Disney Official

Donald Trump’s meeting in Israel (happening like at the time we pulled these cards!) regarding the genocide in Palestine and the “cease-fire agreement” that Biden had left on the desk ready to use back in January…

Elly: “Believe in Your Own Magic Oracle Deck” by Amanda Lovelace

Three for Thee!

* No. 41 Sundress: Do it for YOU - “When it comes to healing & recovery, make sure you’re doing it for yourself, not for somebody else. Becoming too dependent on other people will only end in disappointment. People leave. Friends drift. Family members become estranged. Your reason needs to be bigger than them, & believe it or not, you are important enough to be that reason.”

* No. 14 Thorns: Weave together the crown you deserve - “This, right here, is the ultimate card of celebration - not just yourself (you’re amazing, though!) but of those around you. When you’re done putting on your crown each & every morning, go & help someone else put on theirs. You have so much love & wisdom to spread, so don’t waste it! Self-love is essential, but community is important, too.”

* No. 4 Mirror: Treat your body like the palace it is - “You’ve been feeling self-conscious as of late, but the answer isn’t to change anything about yourself. The answer is to learn to love the body you’ve been given. Avoid those crash diets, that extreme exercise, or any other unhealthy behavior. Take strides toward a healthy mind-set that accepts yourself as you are, not what you feel pressured to be.”

The topic of this week is Chronic Illness and Magic. How do you still practice witchcraft when you feel like ass?

Let’s get into it…

Witchy Tips of the Week

Elly’s tip is to redefine what counts as “magic” to you. Sometimes it’s as simple as whispering words of affirmation into your morning “hot bevvie”.

Kitty’s tip is to really lean into spoon theory. Do your best with what you have and don’t be afraid or ashamed to skip steps. It’s okay, truly!

Witchy Reads of the Week

Elly highlighted a journal this week! “Embody Your Magick - A Guided Journal for the Modern Witch” by Gabriela Herstik.

Kitty had two similar reads this week: “Chronically Magical - Navigating Chronic Illness With Witchcraft” by Danielle Dionne and “Witchcraft for Healing - Radical Self-Care for your Mind, Body, and Spirit” by Patti Wigington.

* Elly is using the Believe in Your Own Magic Oracle Deck by Amanda Lovelace and artwork by Janaisa Medeiros.

“Three for Thee”: Pick a Number for your ORACLE Card Reading!

* Grey “Endings are Inevitable” - “As humans, we tend to see things in black and white, forgetting to account for all the grey in between. There’s someone in your life who’s begun to fade away, or maybe they’re gone altogether now. Don’t fight it. Real relationships are not the same as the fairy tales we know and love. There are no neat and tidy bows to tie things up at the end, leaving you satisfied. Acceptance isn’t easy, but it’s a thing you need to work toward. We create our own closure.”

* Gold “You Don’t Need Someone Else to Fix You” - “Someone is trying to convince you that you’re broken beyond repair… unless you accept their helping hand, of course. If someone offers to ‘fix’ some part of you, it’s not because they’re being selfless or kind: they know that you’re in a vulnerable place, and they want to make you entirely dependent on them. Tell them ‘no, thank you’ - you know exactly how to put the gold in your own cracks!”

* Clover “Release Your Guilt” - “You’ve been carrying the burden of guilt on your shoulders for far too long. It’s now negatively impacting all facets of your life and making it impossible to function. You’ve come to a crossroads where you need to choose a direction: go ahead and make your reparations, or release yourself from the cage you’ve built around yourself. (Hint: Sometimes the first road leads back around to the second.)

Autism is NOT caused by Acetaminophen and I’m not going to take medical advice from a dumbass geriatric dementia patient who can’t even pronounce the word.

I mean, it IS a big word for Elmo… but I don’t take medical advice from Elmo, either.

How to Fight Back:

Everyone can contact the Health and Human Services Office directly by phone at 202-690-7000 and leave a message (they won’t answer, I guarantee it) demanding that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. resign or be removed. His careless and irresponsible actions are causing real harm to real people. Measles is on the rise and there is higher vaccine hesitancy as a direct result of his rhetoric. Children are dying as a result.

Use the 5Calls app or go to 5calls.org to quickly find topics and scripts to use when calling your representatives - it also provides you with contact info for them, complete with local office numbers. If you don’t have the spoons to talk to a person, call after hours when you know they won’t answer and leave a voicemail - 5calls has a perfect script for that!

Go through the list and call on any of the topics that are important to you.

These are also great if you don’t feel like calling but need information to include in an email message to your representative.

Finally, use Resist.Bot to quickly and easily contact your representatives via email by sending text messages. These are pre-written (often by other people like you) or you can type up your own message by texting Resist.Bot until you’re done. Then send it! Here’s one to help you get started:

Weekly Reading:

~Overall Interpretation~

Strap in, folks! This is going to be a bumpy ride… Think of it like a rollercoaster. It starts off fun and exciting, but sometimes it can get scary or even sketchy. (Please do yourself a favor and avoid those county fair rides!) It’s all about balancing the risks with the benefits. Take the good with the bad and learn from your mistakes - they’re what help you grow.

Top of the Deck: Queen of Joints

We kick off the week of September 21st-27th with confidence, compassion, and charisma. There is warmth, a readiness, and empowerment in the air around you. You may even be inspiring others to act in ways they never imagined they could. Let this energy fuel and propel you forward through the rest of the week! Sometimes a little bit of positivity and joy can spread like a wildfire, so use that to your advantage. When your own flame finally dims, someone else’s can light the way forward. This is about a team effort in the long run, independence in the short run.

13 - Matriarchy, life cycles, and maturity.

The Empress (III) - Around Monday and Tuesday, this is following up on the feminine energy that represents creation. “Fertility” is often associated with this card, indicating good news in terms of family or pregnancy, but also on the home front in and in finances. This is a very blessed way to start the week, ride that wave of the divine feminine! When it comes to leadership and career paths, this suggests a calm and caring figure who doesn’t require the use of force to get her point across. Embody the spirit of this card by tapping into the peace and tranquility offered by her aura.

3 - Divinity, creation, and serendipity.

King of Buds (R) - The middle of the week (Wednesday) is unceremoniously disrupted with pure emotion with a lack of control. If you find yourself barely able to keep your head above water, you’re not alone. It’s hard to come up for air, so if you’re feeling isolated, now is the time to reach out for a helping hand. You’re not actually alone in the middle of the ocean, and there are people ready to help if you just let them know you need it. This may be a perfect time to rebalance the budget or to plan out for the long-term future. Saving in this economy? Yeah, right! But at least you can figure out a plan for your next steps.

14 - Assertiveness, disruption, and practicality.

The Hanged Man (XII) - Towards Thursday and Friday, there is a shift in the air that leads to a pause and surrender. Ride the waves of what’s to come, since trying to swim against the current will wear you out quickly. Routine might have you stepping back and taking a rest. In order for things to change, you first need to assess the situation. Observe and take note, and then you’ll know when it’s time to move. For now, enjoy this peaceful respite for what it is. Lately, these moments have been few and far between, so take advantage of it.

12 - Independence, knowledge, and stillness.

Bottom of the Deck: Seven of Joints

By the end of the week, there is a strong pull to hold your ground and fight for what’s right. You may be defending your honor or someone else’s, or perhaps it’s something on a broader scale. Remember that just because you technically have the high ground does not mean your feet can’t be swept out from under you. When it comes to protection, don’t hold back and be prepared to keep going when the going gets tough. This isn’t just a challenge; this is a battle between truth and lies, right and wrong, and will lead to something greater than you could imagine. After all, seven is a lucky number…

7 - Spirituality, truth, and progress.

Central Message: Queen of Pipes (R)

This week’s advice or harsh truths may be delivered sharply and without any care for your response. As a matter of fact, this week embodies the spirit of “fuck your feelings” and cuts straight to the point. Alternatively, there could be a motivation to deceive or manipulate. There is a twinge of isolation and fear of being ostracized, or perhaps a desire to remain ignorant met with an inability to do so when you’re bombarded with a 24/7 news cycle. Remember to avoid over-analyzing or critiquing everything you see. Unless someone has asked for your opinion, you probably don’t actually need to give it. It’s okay to keep certain thoughts to yourself.

13 - Death, eventuality, and transition.

~Number of the Week~

Queen (13), Empress (3), King (14), Hanged Man (12), Seven (7), Queen (13)

8 - Manifestation, destiny, and power.

Representing Strength (VIII) in the Major Arcana, this card suggests this week is building up your endurance (especially emotional and spiritual). You might find yourself experiencing a crisis of faith, feeling tested by the universe, or just like you’re an anchor for Murphy’s Law. All of this is leading to something good, if you stop fighting the process. Listen to your intuition instead of fighting against it for the sake of fitting in or skating by. You know that feeling when your gut is telling you something - and you know it’s almost always right. The universe rewards authenticity, so when in doubt, check in with your conscience.

Daily Reading:

Sunday - Knight of Joints

Right away, we’re greeted with some type of urgent news. This is a signal that anxiety and paranoia may be a bit high, so be cautious on reacting before learning all the facts. Excitement can lead to impulsivity, but opportunities make the risks worth it in the end. Overall, there’s a sense of joy, optimism, and motivation to act. Perhaps this is that burst of motivation you’ve been looking for to accomplish those important tasks lately?

Affirmation: “I will act with care, not in haste.”

12 - Communication, novelty, and adventure.

Monday - Nine of Bongs

It’s time to appreciate what you have so that you can be open to receiving whatever the universe has to offer today. You might find yourself indulging on something you normally wouldn’t, it’s okay to treat yourself! Acknowledge all the hard work you’ve already done. If you’ve been holding out hope, today might bring you the thing you’ve been longing for. Enjoy yourself and feel free to smile and laugh. This is a good energy!

Affirmation: “I am positive today will bring something joyful.”

9 - Completion, achievements, and fulfillment.

Tuesday - Nine of Joints (R)

Welcome to the Rapture! Or at least, that’s what some people experiencing religious psychosis are saying. Unfortunately, today is heavy in the paranoia, exhaustion, and feeling stuck in a perpetual state of defense. If you don’t acknowledge your limitations now, you’re going to crash and burn. It is not weakness to admit you are human - and stress is a killer, so don’t go rapturing yourself with a heart attack or stroke. Take time to let down your guard and open up to those you trust. Things are probably better than you think.

Affirmation: “I do not need permission to rest and recover.”

9 - Endings, resolution, and recognition.

Wednesday - King of Buds

We’ve made it to the middle of the week, and things are looking up! You might be blessed with some unexpected abundance or financial assistance. This is a good sign that competence is leading the charge, but whether that is you or someone in your circle, the important thing is to focus on your responsibilities. Stick to your list, and let others perform their duties the same, and you’ll be able to achieve success.

Affirmation: “I am in command of my life.”

14 - Leadership, opportunity, and authority.

Thursday - Five of Bongs (R)

As we start wrapping up the week, there is an acceptance or acknowledgement of grief. You may find more conflict or that your emotions are unpredictable today. Trust that by recognizing and identifying what you’re feeling, you can now address it and move on from it. You’re no longer stuck in the viscous cycle and have finally made progress. Take a deep breathe - you did it!

Affirmation: “When life gets heavy, I get stronger.”

5 - Disruption, freedom, and miscommunication.

Friday - King of Joints

We end the workweek and kickoff the weekend with some fire and spunk! You may feel inspired into action, even if you’re not sure what form that action will take. Sit down and enjoy the things that excite you. Every once in a while, we have to reignite our spark - whether that’s with something tried and true or something brand new. Be bold and take a risk today.

Affirmation: “If I can imagine it, I can create it.”

14 - Visions, structure, and expansion.

Saturday - Page of Joints (R)

Did you wake up late on the last day of the week? Rest your bones and sink into the couch; it’s a lazy day! While you might be faced with some unpleasant or disappointing news, this could also just be a sign that you’re not feeling particularly inspired this weekend. Whatever fire you had yesterday has fizzled out and burnt up your reserves. Take today to refill your tank, however that looks. It’s the weekend, there is likely nothing so important it can’t wait until Monday (if there is, why are you reading this?).

Affirmation: “I am allowed to rest and take it easy.”

11 - Intuition, delays, and clarity.

Weekly Reading:

~Overall Interpretation~

This week is leading to the final nails in the coffin of the patriarchy as the divine feminine takes charge, rising into power. There is a real and sudden shift as we move from the beginning to the end of the week, and it’s obvious with the inclusion of Judgement (XX) that something big is on the horizon. Humanity is greatly affected by the suffering of communities around us - even if they are separated by land or sea. We are empathetic and desire connection by nature, which encourages our survival.

Top of the Deck: King of Needles

We start off the week of September 28th - October 4th on Sunday with a sudden realization of understanding. Logic and intellect play the primary roles in today’s energy, so pay attention. Someone is connecting the dots and figuring out the bigger picture. Is that someone you? Or maybe you are watching others put the pieces together with fascination? Be open to learning, listening, and challenging your own perceptions of reality. Everything is about to change…

14 - Wisdom, intrigue, and skepticism.

Five of Potions - Around Monday and Tuesday, there is a heavy emphasis on what has been lost. You might be stuck in a loop, feeling “broken” or “unworthy”, but remind yourself that this kind of negative self-talk isn’t based in facts or reality. Acknowledge your feelings, don’t sink into despair because your luck has temporarily swung in the other direction. Eventually, it will come back around. Hang in there, let yourself be sad for a moment, recognize your pain for what it is. When it’s time, get back out to face the world.

5 - Regret, conflict, and mourning.

The Lovers (VI) (R) - In the middle of the week, around Wednesday, you’re facing a difficult decision and unsure how to move forward. Have you withdrawn or disconnected yourself from your support systems? Isolation is only prolonging the inevitable, so take a moment to ground yourself, shake off the anxiety, and take a step in the right direction. Sometimes it’s as simple as saying “yes” or “no”. If you’re feeling out of sync with a friend, partner, or coworker, it may be pointing to an unresolved issue. Check what’s making you uncomfortable - your senses are giving you clues, you just have to be aware enough to follow the trail.

6 - Responsibility, disharmony, and attraction.

The Hermit (IX) - Winding down the end of the week, around Thursday and Friday, there is a reprieve. A healthy dose of introspection and quiet solitude. This is the perfect energy for being alone with your thoughts in your favorite thinking spot, to simply connect with the world around you. Life can be simple, sometimes. Do your best to keep the light shining in the darkness, and you’ll always be able to find your path. Trust your inner voice to lead you where you need to be.

9 - Completion, understanding, and wisdom.

Bottom of the Deck: Judgement (XX)

We finish up the week on Saturday with a clear and likely unexpected wake-up call. You are officially being faced with the consequences of past actions, whether good or bad. Accountability is the name of the game, and by dodging the question or taking the road of spiritual bypassing, you’re not exactly learning a lesson, are you? If you feel that you’ve made progress on the journey of self-discovery and healing, congratulations! You may find yourself rewarded with a lovely surprise by the end of the week. Should you be nervous? I don’t know, you tell me… May the odds be ever in your favor, I guess?

20 - Choices, divinity, and call to action.

Central Message: Knight of Presents (R)

The advice of the week is to recognize when you’re experiencing burnout vs. laziness. One of them requires rest and kindness, the other… a kick in the ass! Time to channel your inner Red from That 70’s Show or Wayne from Letterkenny and focus on the tasks at hand this week. You don’t have to be perfectly productive 24/7, but you do have responsibilities that need to get done. So pitter patter, let’s get at ‘er! You know what you need to do, and it’s okay to ask for help if you’re feeling stuck. After all, more hands make less work. If all else fails, find someone to threaten you with a foot in your ass, see if that lights a fire.

12 - Consistency, routine, and impatience.

~Number of the Week~

King (14), Five (5), Lovers (6), Hermit (9), Judgement (20), Knight (12)

3 - Feminism, matriarchy, and fate.

Representing The Empress (III) in the Major Arcana, this week is very involved in feminine energy and creative power. With the rise of the matriarchy (which is inherently child-centric) we are ushering in the beginnings of a new world. Before this week is over, before the month of September is at an end, we will experience a change in the winds. Communication will allow us all to have access to the truth, which may be exposed through unique methods. Trust in the process and trust your gut. Of course, with all the emphasis on women, I want to make it clear… “It’s not all men” but somehow it’s always a man, which is why everyone chose the bear.

Daily Reading:

Sunday - The Lovers (VI)

Emphasized by the truth bomb of the King of Needles energy in the Weekly Tarot Reading, today involves a significant opportunity to do something different. The appearance of this card suggests you’re in a state of harmony, and that communication is likely to be clear and concise. Remember to discuss important decisions with the people who matter to you - especially when your decision will involve or affect them, too. This is all about finding a balance between what you want and what you need. Responsibilities don’t vanish with your desire for change.

Affirmation: “I choose to connect with others today.”

6 - Romance, excitement, and satisfaction.

Monday - Justice (XI)

A heavy day indeed, especially when paired with the Five of Potions in the Weekly Tarot Reading. Overall, this is a card that suggests the scales are returning to balance after a period of disparity. Trust the process, even if it begins in surprising ways. The truth may lead to pain or grief, but that is a good thing in the long run. With the acknowledgement and acceptance comes the ability to heal and recover. Closure often comes after Justice has been served. Finally, actions have real consequences. (On a personal note, this also happens to be my 31st birthday! Fittingly for this card, I’m a Libra!)

Affirmation: “I am ready to restore balance to my life.”

11 - Karma, fairness, and divinity.

Tuesday - Five of Needles

Interestingly enough, this is a perfect follow up that solidifies the message of the Five of Potions. The confirmation of the number Five followed by the slight adjustment in energy with the change in suit. This is all about betrayal, lack of tact, and even a hint of cruelty. You might be extra sharp with your words or actions today, especially if you’re feeling the fallout from yesterday’s Karmic balancing act. Remember, “winning” or “owning the libs” isn’t really effective if it sends everyone else packing, is it? It’s time to grow up and reflect on your own unmet needs that are causing you to lash out.

Affirmation: “I will pause and reflect before I take action.”

5 - Pettiness, battles, and tension.

Wednesday - The Tower (XVI)

Along with the uncomfortable choice implied by The Lovers (VI) (R) in the Weekly Reading, this is a collapse of the current systems. The goal is not to delete or erase but to enhance, enrich, and rebuild. Ultimately, the massive changes coming today were inevitable. It was only a matter of time before the rot and decay finally caved in - now is the perfect chance to clear away any doubts and roll up your sleeves. There’s work to be done! One way or another, you will pull through this and make it to the other side. That is, as long as you’re willing to at least try. Giving up before you even start is weaker than a watered down martini at Applebee’s.

Affirmation: “I trust in my ability to bounce back, better than ever before.”

16 - Spirituality, obstacles, and fortune.

Thursday - Eight of Potions (R)

Within your fear of moving on is the wise advice of The Hermit (IX) in the Weekly Reading. It is okay to walk away and get out of a situation that is no longer serving you. When you have the opportunity to reflect and connect with your soul, you’ll be able to see what it is you desire. This isn’t about what could have been but what can still be. It’s time to leave this path behind and move on where you can actually see a way forward. Trying in vain to clear an un-walkable path is only wearing you down and wasting your time.

Affirmation: “It is okay to be afraid of what comes next.”

8 - Infinity, purpose, and wisdom.

Friday - Queen of Potions

Finally, there is a moment of love and compassion through the residual influence of The Hermit (IX). This is a time of growth, maturity, and creativity. You are able to express your opinions, beliefs, and thoughts with the world in amazingly unique ways. Take advantage of your gifts and spread that nurturing energy, inspire others to be kind and gentle not only with the world but with themselves. Too many of us are stuck in ruminating cycles of negative self-talk, and it’s tough to remind ourselves to snap out of it. Be that Queen who reminds the rest of us how fabulous we are, too!

Affirmation: “I love the kindness found in the heart of humanity.”

13 - Feminine power, completion, and empowerment.

Saturday - The World (XXI) (R)

Wow, what a way to end, considering the Weekly Reading drops us off with Judgement (XX) at the bottom of the deck. Something big is happening that is affecting all of humanity, and probably life as we know it in general. I’m not sure exactly which god is pissed off at who, or why, but was it a man? It was probably a man… The World has turned upside down, so be prepared to face the truth. Some of us may laugh, some of us may cry, but one thing is for certain - nothing will ever be the same again. Are you ready for it?

Affirmation: “I am strong, fierce, and resilient.”

21 - Setbacks, uncertainty, and resistance.

The topic of conversation is “Religious Psychosis” - Where do we draw the line? When does faith become a mental disorder?

Let’s get into it…

Witchy Tips of the Week

Kitty: “Burn it, Break it, or Bury it” to get it away from you. This can be as simple as writing down your burdens, worries, or problems on a piece of paper and burning it, tearing it up, throwing it away, or burying it (somewhere outside of your home/property).

Elly: If you don’t know where to start when it comes to meditation, a great *free* app is called Insight Timer. It’s perfect whether you’ve never tried to meditate before or if you do it daily!

Witchy Reads of the Week

Elly: “Say What You Mean” by Oren Jay Sofer

Kitty: “The Modern Witchcraft Book of Astrology - Your Complete Guide to Empowering Your Magick with the Energy of the Planets” by Julia Halina Hadas.

Tarot Time

While Kitty drew cards for Kamala Harris, specifically for the energy of Tuesday surrounding her TV interview, Elly drew cards for you, the listener!

“Three for Thee”: Pick a Number for your Tarot Reading!

* King of Wands - “a capable, celebrated leader who focuses on the big picture… a visionary with a knack for bringing people together and inspiring them to work toward a common goal.”

* Page of Wands - “someone who’s full of fresh, innovative, creative ideas… ready to soar but may not yet have the solid, stable foundation necessary to move forward and bring those great ideas to life.”

* The Chariot - “represents progress, forward momentum, and the harnessing of inner strength to overcome obstacles in your way… stop at nothing to make your dream come true. Don’t get sidetracked, because there’s no time for doubts.”

💕 Kitty & Elly

This week, we start a day late but with an extra 45 minutes or so of chatter!

Content Warning: We do discuss some heavy topics of violence and trauma, specifically birth trauma or medical trauma, gun violence, and school shootings. Discretion is advised.

Witchy Tips of the Week

Kitty’s Tip is that it’s about to get cold. Get as much time outside and with nature as you can if you’re not the type to enjoy the cold weather. Bring that nature inside and decorate your space with warmth and the seasonal depression at bay.

Elly reminds us the importance of not falling into OCD ruminations. Stay off the Google! Your intrusive thoughts make you question your intuition. You know in your gut what’s real.

Witchy Reads of the Week

Elly is focusing on the Shadow Work this week with:

“The Shadow Work Journal, A Guide to Integrate and Transcend Your Shadows” and “The Book of Shadow Work” by Keila Shaheen.

You can actually find her right here on Substack!

Kitty is all about the Activism this week:

“Revolutionary Witchcraft, A Guide to Magical Activism” by Sarah Lyons. Her book is currently sold out on her website, but you can likely find a copy at your local library!

Parenting Wins of the Week

Kitty’s son turned 4 on Sunday, and they had a fantastic birthday! Lil man was all the rage at a local car show with his cool motorcycle power-wheels. He also gets compliments for using his manners on the regular.

Elly has been working on cutting down the screen time, and today they had practically NONE! That is a huge accomplishment, since kids notoriously are making at least three requests per minute.

Love & Marriage

Our husbands love to indulge us with food, don’t they? They know the quickest way to our hearts is through our stomachs, without a doubt!

Elly’s husband treated her to some Costco Pocky (chocolate, strawberry, AND cookies and cream flavor) while Kitty’s keeps her full on Panda Express. (That teriyaki chicken is good, I don’t care what you say…)

Tarot Time

We did things a little differently this time! Kitty pulled cards for the cult of MAGA for “Political Tarot” and Elly pulled cards for you, the listener.

Pick a number between 1 and 3 and your corresponding card is your reading!

* King of Cups (Reversed)

* Queen of Pentacles (Reversed)

* The World (Reversed)

Dad Joke of the Week

“Did you hear about the person who drank invisible ink?…

… They’re at the hospital waiting to be seen.”

Mini-Activism of the Week

Use 5calls.org (or download the 5Calls App on your phone) to contact your representatives and demand common sense gun control legislation.

We don’t say “Cars Don’t Kill People” - we just regulate them.

We make you take a test and get a license, you have to register and insure your vehicle, you can’t just wake up one day and go drive a car without ever having driven one and expect it to be okay or go without consequences.

We CAN do the same thing with guns!

Guest Witch of the Week

Thank you for sending us your comments on YouTube during the livestream <3

Witchy Tips of the Week

Focus on your words and avoid negative self-talk. When you get stuck in a loop of ruminating on the bad, get yourself a “stick” to shove in the “spokes” of the wheel of thought. Your voice, whether spoken aloud or in your head, has the ability to cast spells and manifest, with or without conscious effort.

Your brain will rewire itself to think more negatively or positively depending on how you talk about yourself. Stop saying “I’m such an idiot” and instead be gentle with yourself, remembering “I’m still learning.”

Witchy Reads of the Week

Both of us happened to pick books with similar titles!!

Kitty’s reading “The Witching Year: A Memoir of Earnest Fumbling Through Modern Witchcraft” by Diana Helmuth.

Elly’s reading “The Year of the Witching” a novel by Alexis Henderson.

Don’t forget to check your local library or digital borrows (Hoopla, Libby, etc.) to see if you can read these books for free! If you want to purchase the books, I recommend going to their website to support the authors directly rather than through big brand name stores like Amazon, B&N, or Target.

Parenting Wins of the Week

Our daughters are growing and hitting milestones, taking first steps, and Elly’s daughter is learning her manners with cute little “pwease” and “tank yoo”s!

Kitty’s son, despite being a sick neurodivergent and hyperactive 4yo, was able to wear a mask and not touch ANYTHING in the store when we had to stop in. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, and he did GREAT of keeping his germs to himself.

Love & Marriage

Elly’s husband went the traditional romantic route this week to get noticed. He left her a sweet little rose with a love note. Certainly getting extra brownie points for giving her something she can use in witchcraft (especially for a love spell)!

Kitty’s husband used his white male privilege to stop cops from illegally questioning a little boy while his dad was across the parking lot with a different officer. Remember people, if you see something, say something! Step in and don’t let anyone, but especially little kids, get taken advantage of by the system.

Tarot Time

We pulled cards for YOU, the listeners, this week! Check and see which one resonates with you (or maybe they both do). Have a specific question or a suggestion for next week? Let us know! Join the Discord and message us or send us a voice message that we can play on the podcast next week.

Elly (using the Modern Witch Tarot Deck) pulled The Empress (III) as the “problem” card, with The Hierophant (V) as the “solution”. If you’re experiencing difficulty accepting or expressing your sensual side, or exploring your feminine side (men, talking to you, too here!) then be open to learning from someone with more experience.

Kitty (using the Pot Tarot Deck) pulled the Eight of Buds (or Pentacles, in a traditional deck) and the Ace of Buds (reversed). If you’re bored with the mundane of everyday life, that does not mean it’s time to waste your resources. Remember, you’re saving for a rainy day, not saving to burn a hole in your pocket.

Dad Joke(s) of the Week

I used to have a job at a shoe recycling shop… It was sole-destroying.

I recently went to the doctor because I keep hearing a buzzing noise… They said there’s a bug going around.

Mini-Activism of the Week

Call RFK Jr. at 202-690-7000 and demand his resignation for endangering millions of people, especially children, through these ridiculous anti-vaccine, anti-science nonsense like “Tylenol causes autism”… Fuck you, RFK Jr. Fuck you, Donald Trump. Fuck you everyone who voted for this shit. 🖕🏻

Witchy Tips of the Week

Our tips go over how to make use of the items you find in nature or for free in your spells or witchy decor. The library has many resources for when you’re researching the history of a god or goddess, or how a religious practice or tradition began.

September 1st (Labor Day) is the perfect time for spell work, but don’t fret if you’ve missed it! You can still do your abundance spells and whatnot, even if it’s not “on time”.

Don’t forget to cleanse your spaces! Take advantage of that moon water you’ve been collecting and add it to your mop water or, dish water, or bath water.

… Don’t fall off your chairs like I did…

Witchy Reads of the Week

Elly’s currently reading “Say What You Mean (a mindful approach to nonviolent communication)” by Oren Jay Sofer.

Kitty is almost done with “Hekate (Goddess of Witches)” by Courtney Weber and is re-reading “Uncultured (a memoir)” by Daniella Mestyanek Young (aka “Knitting Cult Lady”).

Parenting Wins / Fails of the Week

We had some fun bragging about our wonderful babies, how smart they are, and how Ms. Rachel is an amazing co-parent. From teaching our lil ones letters and numbers, fucking up the weekly schedule, we’re just laughing and remembering old times.

One of our biggest tips is to teach your kids real sex ed… Trust us! You don’t want your kids learning it from their friends.

Love & Marriage

Elly gives us an excellent idea for playing UNO (the card game) with your partner! Use those wild cards to play some truth or dare.

Kitty’s husband reminds us all that therapy is important. We all can use therapy! So don’t forget to call your therapist and schedule an appointment.

And for all the “Nice Guys” out there? No you’re not, shut the fuck up.

Tarot Time

This week, we pull some cards for Trump and the Epstein files, here are the spreads we pulled:

Dad Joke of the Week

What’s brown and really sticky?

…

A stick!

Later, Witches!

We’ll see you next week for Episode 6. Blessed or Hexed, thanks for listening!

In this episode, we start off with some tarot readings for the week, since Kitty didn’t get the opportunity to go live last week for her usual daily draws.

After that, we discuss our path to spirituality, magic, and motherhood.

#TPSD

Don’t forget to join The People’s Sick Day! A three day economic blackout and labor strike to show that when the people stop, the system breaks.

For Episode 5…

… we will have our first “Guest Witch of the Week” so be sure to tune in! We should be starting off right at 9:30PM (EDT).

Did you enjoy the song?

It should not be this easy for people like us to have access to software like this…

Later, Witches!

💕 Kitty & Elly

Laugh, cackle, and cough with us as we ring some bells, smoke some weed, and dish about motherhood and magic.

Don’t forget to join the Discord server and get chatting with other listeners.

We’re excited to see the community grow!

We have some witchy tips, some book recommendations, and some gushing over our families this week…

This week’s tarot goes political while we dig into the recent events of Dementia Donny taking a stroll on the White House roof, and James Donald Bowman raises the levels of the Ohio River for his birthday boating trip.

Forgot to add my shameless plug!

If you are interested in learning the Fertility Awareness Method but don’t want to read the text (Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler), then check out my Fertility Awareness Substack! (Considering the attack on women’s healthcare, birth control, and abortion rights, this is more relevant than ever…)

Don’t forget to join the chat! - If Discord is your thing, we will be launching our server next week!

We talk about who we are, how we met, and give you a little background on our witchy journeys. Because somehow, we led parallel lives despite being a literal ocean apart!

Join Kitty and Elly in our chaotic sleepovers where we chat, laugh, and do tarot readings. We’ll talk about politics a little, our experiences with the medical side of motherhood and pregnancy, and dish a bit about our husbands.

We also want to hear from you, the listeners!

Do you have questions or tips that you’d like to share with us? Maybe you’d like to be our next “Guest Witch of the Week”? Join the chat and connect with us!

If Discord is more your thing, check back soon…

We will be launching our own server soon, where you’ll be able to drop in voice messages, chat with other listeners, and more!

We are on TikTok, BlueSky, and YouTube. You can also send us an email at wutupwitches@yahoo.com!

The eventual goal is that paid subscribers will be able to join us for our livestreams and regular episodes will post every Monday. Once we get things appropriately set up, we’ll let you know.

In the meantime, we want to hear from you!
