Ep. #188 Festival Guide: Autumn Equinox
Episode #188 gets us ready for celebrating the Autumn Equinox here at the Atomic Hearth! Coming up in just over a week the Autumn Equinox marks the moment of equal light and dark in the journey from Summer to Winter, on or near September 21st in the northern hemisphere and March 21st in the southern hemisphere. Join us to hear how we celebrate this moment and tie this festival to the pillar of Witch as Dreamer, including a script to a somewhat theatrical approach! We also share our 'Witchening' guide - our ritual for marking the yearly anniversary of the day a witch first began their practice.

Today at the Atomic Hearth, we share the second "Living Witch" episode of Season 6, where our conversations will often tie into our Witch’s Web topics for the seasonal year, and/or the smaller day to day moments of 'being' that are just as important to an overall atomic practice. Now approaching Autumn, we share some updates on each of our Witch's Web topics, including the books we've been reading, potions we've been brewing, and how we've found ways to align learning and magickal exploration with the daily flow of mundane life moments and rhythms. We hope discussions like this can provide helpful ideas and takeaways right in the context of our respective paths and crafts, and spur inspiration for your own witchcraft journey!
