Step into the hearth of magic as kitchen witch Trish Telesco reveals how to transform your cooking from mundane to mystical. With over 40 years of magical practice and more than 50 published books, Telesco brings authentic wisdom to the sacred art of kitchen witchery.

The magic begins at the threshold—wiping your feet before entering the kitchen isn't just about cleanliness but about leaving negativity at the door. Your kitchen becomes a temple where wooden spoons become wands and soup pots transform into cauldrons. No need for elaborate tools or precise measurements; kitchen witchery thrives on intuition, authenticity, and mindful presence.

Discover the layers of magic in Telesco's famous Five Onion Soup, where five different onions prepared five different ways create a symphony of texture, flavor, and intention. Learn how to cook with edible flowers, arrange food according to elemental correspondences, and align your meals with astrological energies. These practices engage all five senses, creating what Telesco describes as a "moving meditation" that deepens the magical potency of your food.

Kitchen witchery offers profound healing possibilities, too. For those navigating depression, chronic pain, or life transitions, mindful cooking provides therapeutic benefits that nourish both body and spirit. As Telesco shares from her own journey through health challenges, cooking becomes a way to process emotion and find joy in simple creation.

The most powerful insight? Stop doing magic and start being magic. By bringing your authentic self into everyday cooking practices, you embody magical consciousness rather than merely performing rituals. This accessible approach makes kitchen witchery available to everyone, regardless of experience or resources. All you need is intention, curiosity, and a playful spirit to transform your kitchen into a place where delicious magic happens every day.

Trish Telesco has been a practicing Kitchen Witch for 40 years, and written numerous books on related subjects. Her most recent book is Cooking with the Kitchen Witch, a celebration of the first magical cookbook ever, Kitchen Witch's Cookbook. She lives in WNY with her cats, who run the house, and dogs who don't know it.

Step into a world where crystals aren't just beautiful objects—they're conscious allies waiting to guide you on your spiritual journey. Jenny C Bell challenges mainstream crystal practices with a refreshing perspective: what if we approached crystals as sentient beings rather than tools to be programmed?

Drawing from indigenous wisdom and her decades of experience, Jenny introduces us to the concept of "stone people"—crystal beings with personalities, wisdom, and healing gifts they're eager to share. This paradigm shift transforms how we relate to these ancient earth treasures. Rather than simply collecting crystals for their metaphysical properties, we're invited to build genuine relationships with them, just as we would with a trusted friend or mentor.

The heart of Jenny's approach centers around six quartz varieties that serve as spirit guides: clear quartz, amethyst, rose quartz, smoky quartz, aventurine, and citrine. Each carries unique archetypal energy—from amethyst's connection to ancient Egyptian alchemy to smoky quartz's ability to bridge the worlds between living and ancestor realms. Through guided meditations, readers discover which crystal guide is specifically calling to work with them, often forming a lifetime spiritual partnership.

What makes this approach so powerful is its accessibility. You don't need to be clairvoyant to communicate with crystal guides. As Jenny explains, intuitive information comes through various channels—feelings, sounds, colors, or simply knowing. The key is trusting whatever arises and approaching the relationship with openness and respect. Simple practices like breathing onto your crystal, creating playlists inspired by its energy, or taking it on adventures help deepen the connection.

Ready to discover which crystal guide is waiting to connect with you? Listen to this amazing podcast.

Jenny C. Bell is the author Spirit Crystals: Discover Your Crystal Guide for Healing and Empowerment and Divergent Witchcraft: An Inclusive Approach to Making Magic (Spring 2026), She is also the founder of the Our Coven online community, host of the Cozy Coven Chats podcast, and a practicing witch. For three decades, Jenny has practiced yoga, meditation, read tarot cards and worked with the healing powers of crystals.

What if the eight hours you spend sleeping each night could become your most powerful magical laboratory? In this enchanting conversation, Granddaughter Crow welcomes Nikki Wardwell Sleath—occultist, author, and direct descendant of Samuel Wardwell who was executed during the Salem Witch Trials—to explore the transformative practice of dream sorcery.

Nikki unveils the true meaning of occultism as the study of hidden mysteries, challenging negative stereotypes and emphasizing how this knowledge can be practically applied in our daily lives. She explains why building authentic relationships with deities and energies is essential for effective magical practice—comparing it to developing friendships rather than making transactional demands of strangers.

The heart of their discussion centers around dreams as gateways to expanded consciousness. Nikki challenges conventional scientific perspectives that view dreams merely as brain processing, instead revealing how dreamscapes transcend time, connect us with spirits, and allow us to practice magic without physical limitations. She shares remarkable experiences of precognitive dreaming and collective dream divination that demonstrate the transpersonal nature of dream consciousness.

Listeners will discover the revolutionary concept of creating "magical neural pathways" through lucid dreaming—becoming fully aware while dreaming—which enhances magical abilities even in waking life. Nikki provides insights into how anyone, regardless of their spiritual tradition, can begin working with dreams as powerful tools for healing, shadow work, and accelerating magical development.
What hidden treasures await you in the dreamscape tonight?
