Word Witchery and the Poetry Priestess Path with Katie Ness

3/1/2026
Send a text In this episode of The Magick Kitchen Podcast, we’re joined by Katie Ness, a witch and priestess whose practice weaves goddess devotion, ancestral connection, and folk magic through the living art of poetry. We talk about “word witchery” as a spiritual path, how listening and silence shape devotional language, and why poetry belongs to everyone, not only trained writers. Katie shares how her earliest experiences with spirit and grief became a lifelong practice of writing to the liminal, and we explore practical ways to begin, even if you think you are not creative.

Why Imbolc Matters: Candlemas, Brigid, and the Hearth

2/2/2026
Send us a text In this episode of the Magick Kitchen Podcast, Leandra and Elyse Welles break down why Imbolc matters on the Wheel of the Year, especially when winter feels heavy and motivation is low. They explore the difference between quarter days (solstices and equinoxes) and the often-misunderstood cross-quarter days, and why these seasonal turning points can be the most supportive when we feel least connected. You’ll also hear the roots of Imbolc as lambing season and its relationship to Candlemas, plus the heart of Brigid’s Day, Brigid as a goddess of hearth, craft, and creativity, and the ways her presence bridges traditions. From purification and decluttering to fire as release, they offer a gentle, practical Imbolc approach that includes kitchen magic, seasonal foods, and simple correspondences without getting stuck in “doing it perfectly.” Download your free Imbolc Workbook- https://leandrawitchwood.com/resources Loose-leaf Tea and Sacred Apothecary The Healing Our Feminine Wounding Immersive is a sacred retreat devoted to untangling inherited shame, silence, and survival patterns carried in the feminine body.

Respectful Deity Work: Culture, Consent, and Trust with Deborah Blake

1/18/2026
Send us a text This time in the Magick Kitchen Podcast, Leandra Witchwood and Elyse Welles are joined by bestselling author and beloved witchcraft teacher Deborah Blake for a grounded, practical conversation on respectful, responsible deity work for witches and pagans. Together, they explore what changes when deity isn’t “a box you visit,” but part of everyday life, and why cultural context matters when working with ancient pantheons in the modern world. Deborah shares how her upcoming book, Everyday Witch’s Book of Deities (out in April and currently available for preorder), approaches deity work with both historical background and real-world practice. You’ll also hear thoughtful discussion on syncretism (when gods and goddesses overlap across cultures), what “perfect love and perfect trust” can mean in lived experience, and how to start small if you think a deity may be reaching out, including the physical signs both hosts and Deborah notice in their own work.

How to Begin a Kitchen Witchery Practice

1/4/2026
Send us a text A new year invites new rhythms, and the kitchen is one of the most powerful places to begin. In this episode of the Magick Kitchen Podcast, Leandra Witchwood and Elyse Welles explore how to start — or refresh — a kitchen witchery practice rooted in green magic, balance, and everyday life. They discuss why kitchen witchery and green witchcraft are inseparable paths, how perfection and rigid planning can block magical flow, and why the hearth has always been the energetic heart of the home. From cooking with seasonal ingredients to working with what’s already in your spice cabinet, this conversation offers grounded ways to make magic sustainable, nourishing, and intuitive. You’ll also learn how food connects us to cycles — the moon, the body, the land — and why honoring ingredients through use, reuse, and gratitude matters deeply in the craft. The episode closes with a simple cinnamon–apple tea or simmer pot practice you can make right away using common kitchen ingredients. January 6 – January 27 | Tuesdays at 7 PM EST | Live via Zoom Learn to handcraft blends for cooking, herbalism, ritual, and hands-on spellwork into a month-long journey where your kitchen becomes a place of power, healing, and everyday enchantment.

Fiber Magic & Stitch Witchery: Knitting, Ancestral Craft, and Enchanted Thread

12/21/2025
Send us a text In this Yuletide episode of the Magick Kitchen Podcast, Leandra Witchwood and Elyse Welles are joined by fiber artist and co-host of the Knit a Spell podcast, Katie Rempe, for a deep and soulful conversation about fiber magic, stitch witchery, and ancestral craft. Together they explore knitting, embroidery, mending, sewing, spinning, and textile arts as ancient magical practices — ways of weaving intention, prayer, and protection directly into everyday life. From blood, sweat, and tears stitched into garments, to repetitive motion as meditation, to crafting as a gateway for intuition and ancestral connection, this episode invites listeners to remember the sacred power held in thread and cloth. The conversation weaves through grief and healing, pandemic-era crafting, reclaiming lost communal arts, ethical making, and how working with fiber can become both spellwork and spiritual refuge. Whether you knit daily or have never picked up a needle, this episode offers a gentle invitation to slow down, listen to your hands, and reconnect with the magic humans have practiced for millennia.

Sex, Death & the Body as Temple: Somatic Witchcraft with Melissa Gutierrez

In this candid, unfiltered conversation, somatic coach, witch, and trauma-informed Domme Melissa Gutierrez joins Leandra and Elyse to demystify somatics and show how movement reshapes mind, emotions, and (yes) magick. We explore the twin currents of sex magick and death work—how they naturally braid together in healing, grief, and rebirth—and why ethical containers, consent, and nervous-system literacy matter for real transformation. Melissa shares her cultural roots, what “sensation integration” looks like in practice, and how to work with triggers as teachers. We talk science-meets-mysticism, reclaiming the hips and voice from shame, adult agency in the body, and why community mirrors are essential for growth.
