Season 1, Episode 9: Making Genuine Witchy Connections

 ​Hey there lovely listeners, welcome to episode nine of the Wind Moon Magic podcast. Today I'm talking about witchy friendships, the value of community, and finding a mentor. And yes, even especially if you're in the broom closet, this episode is for you. You must believe me, I know how hard it can be to find your witchy tribe.

Finding a witchcraft community and making magical friends can be a wonderful and fulfilling experience. It can provide a sense of belonging, a sense of connection, as well as support and guidance on your spiritual journey. However, it can also be very difficult to know where to start and how to find those who mix with your beliefs and practices.

I am a solitary witch. I prefer to practice magic and ritual alone. I'm also an extreme introvert. Even recording this podcast in the comfort of my own home, alone, sitting in my closet, drains that introvert battery for me. But the truth is that community and friendship play an important role in the craft.

Having a supportive network of fellow witches can provide emotional and spiritual support as well as opportunities for learning, growth, connection. That's why I started my website and this podcast. I knew the thing I was missing most in my practice was you. As humans, we crave connection and meaning, and that's found within community building.

And so I'm very excited to announce quickly for Inner Circle members that the Discord server is up and available to you. Be sure to check that out on the homepage of the Inner Circle. It's a place where we can discuss any witchy topics you have on your mind. I'm hopeful that this will grow into a thriving community full of shared ideas.

Okay, back to it. A strong sense of community offers a safe space for discussing your beliefs, your experiences, as well as providing a sounding board for your ideas and rituals. Through in person gatherings, online forums, or casual get togethers, connecting with other witches can help you feel less isolated and more connected to the wider community.

And this is doubly important for those witches who are in the broom closet or can't fully embody their practice in the day to day. You still need a friend. You need a community you can turn to and know you're not alone on this path. You need people you can trust. Just a quick personal update before we get into the body of the podcast.

We have had a tropical storm hit us here in Southern California. Very cool in some ways and terrible in others. I tell you I've never gathered so much storm water in my life I even went out and bathed in it It just felt so good to let all that storm charged water flow down and over my body And in the days since, I've never seen my garden so green or so lush in August.

We were fortunate we did not have flooding or mudslides like many. Usually we are choking in the heat here and everything is turning brown, so this has been pretty special for us. This got me thinking about rainwater, and I wanted to quickly share three tips for using rainwater in your magic practice.

Actually, maybe four. First of all, cleansing and purification. Stormwater is often seen as a natural cleanser due to its intense energy. So you can use stormwater to cleanse and purify your magical tools, crystals, your spaces. You just sprinkle it around your space or use it to wash your tools and objects.

You can use it to wash windows. And that symbolically cleans away negative energies. and helps prepare a clean slate for your magic. I love to use rainwater when I have it to make Florida water to keep on hand for cleaning my altar space. You can also use stormwater for protection magic. Stormwater's energy is powerful in protection spells.

You can create a protective barrier by sprinkling stormwater around your living space or even drawing symbols on doors and windows. This can help create a shield against negative influences or unwanted energies. And then, my favorite way to use rainwater is not so much metaphysical, but it is sort of magical, and that is to nourish my houseplants.

Rainwater is naturally soft, and it's free of the minerals and the harsh chemicals that are found in tap water. It's an excellent choice for watering your houseplants. It provides them with pure hydration without the potential buildup of salts and other contaminants. So, I always collect some rainwater for that, put it in a watering can, and I use it to water my indoor plants.

This also helps with leaf discoloration, and you don't get, like, salts and mineral buildups on the soil surface. Much healthier, much more vibrant plants when watered with rainwater. You might also want to try making rainwater infusions. Preferably, use a clean or non toxic container to capture your rainwater, and then you're going to place herbs, flowers, even water safe crystals associated with your intention into a glass jar, pour the collected rainwater over them.

Let the infusion sit under the moonlight, or just in a sacred space for however long you need to, to infuse it, and imbue it with your intentions. And then you can use this rainwater infusion for spell work and in rituals, and as a natural consecration tool. There are lots of other ways to use rainwater, and some practitioners will even use it in infusions to drink.

But, I must confess that when it came out of our sky, it was maybe not as clean and pure as I'd like to think. And it also is only as clean as the container you captured it in. In fact, I filtered all the water I used for storage because it seemed to have a bit of debris in it, so. Use your best judgment.

Okay, let's get to the main segment today.

Friendships are crucial for maintaining good mental health and overall well being. When we have friends who understand and accept us, we feel more confident and secure in ourselves, which can really enhance our spiritual practice and help us to maintain a more positive outlook. It also really, really helps us in maintaining our momentum and that enthusiasm in our practice.

One way to find a witchcraft community is to attend events and gatherings. Many cities and towns have pagan and witchcraft festivals, open rituals, and, you know, oftentimes metaphysical stores will have events where you can meet other practitioners in person. This can be a great way to make new friends and connect with like minded individuals.

And it also is a great way to learn about different traditions and practices. You may also want to seek out local covens and groups. Many covens have meetups, um, there are classes, workshops. You just have to do a little digging on the internet, right? It's a great way to learn more about a specific tradition or practice.

Joining a coven or group can also provide a sense of belonging, as well as guidance and support from maybe some more experienced practitioners. I put this advice first because this is the area where I personally really struggle. I'll be honest, I don't like most people, though that's not their fault, it's me.

I'm very protective of my energy and my time, and as a consequence, I'm not that likable myself sometimes, and I know this. I also am very uncomfortable putting myself out there. In a situation that I don't fully have a grasp on. Also, in person events and community building, it requires a degree of bravery.

So, be careful with this broad sweeping approach to things. Events like this can attract all types, some of whom can be very odd ducks. And while everyone needs friendship and community, I want to stress the importance of being really clear about what types of witches you want to attract into your life.

And I want to urge you to be selective. I've seen a lot of performative witchcraft people who are just there for the aesthetic or the counterculture vibes, and even those who are downright dangerous. Open groups and meetups can be a free for all, and they usually lack moderation and oversight. They aren't always the safest option.

And in smaller communities, you may be nervous about being out as a witch. You may have concerns about being outed, or running into someone, or having others be indiscreet, such as sharing photos of you, or saying something to someone who doesn't know you are a witch. And let's talk about that for a minute.

There are degrees of being out as a witch. Stepping out can be difficult and daunting. But it can also be incredibly empowering. It's important to remember that you have the right to practice your beliefs and your spirituality, and that you shouldn't be ashamed or embarrassed about who you are. It can be helpful to start by being open with just a select few people, maybe even just one person, and then work your way up to being more public about your beliefs.

Anyway, whether you're out as a witch or not. I highly recommend you find online resources and communities that can provide support, information, and connection. And this is a great place to start before venturing out into live, in person events. There are many online forums, there's lots of social media groups and websites dedicated to witchcraft where you can connect with others who share your beliefs and practices.

These online communities can provide a sense of connection and support, and they can also be a great resource for information. I do have some tips for you when deciding to participate in an online witchy community. Look for inclusiveness and diversity in membership and beliefs. Look for communities that are respectful and that encourage constructive communication between members.

It's always helpful when groups and communities have clear guidelines and codes of conduct in place. Look for active participation and engagement. Look for experienced and knowledgeable moderators. I find it helpful also when there's a focus on education and learning, because often just by defining themselves that way, they've put a lot of these other structures in place, and it's much more, um, stable and moderated, and there's some framework, right?

You want to look for relevant and up to date information, and I would encourage you to look for resources that really urge you to explore ethical practices and Um, discourage cultural appropriation. You want a positive, non judgmental feeling atmosphere. And there should be opportunities for connecting, not only with the hosting program or the website, but also with the broader members of the community, so that you can really form those personal connections.

Always be respectful of the beliefs of others in your witchcraft communities. Be kind. There are many paths and practices. Not everything is for everyone. And not everyone in the communities you join is going to be a potential friend. But you may find a couple this way. So keep your eyes and ears open and make note of those you most resonate with.

It may be worth trying to connect with them outside the public space and begin an online friendship. You may be thinking, well, I have Instagram and I follow lots of witches there. Isn't that enough? Let's talk about social media. There's a paradox, especially within the witchcraft community. Social media has this incredible power to bring modern witches together from all corners of the world.

It's like this magical hub where you can connect, you can share your craft, and you can find like minded souls who get what you're all about. And you can find lots of inspiration. But here's the catch. It also makes you feel a bit isolated in some kind of peculiar ways. When I'm scrolling through my feed and I come across these stunningly crafted altars, enchanting rituals, everything's beautifully filmed and has a lovely filter on it, and folks who seem to really have their magical mojo perfectly in place.

I see it over and over, these, these beautifully filmed spells, grimoires that are museum quality, and witches who are physically just beautiful, with beautiful homes and time to do elaborate rituals. And it's easy to start comparing my journey And probably for you too, your journey to theirs. Suddenly, a simple altar setup or a practice that's still finding its groove might not seem as enchanting.

You may find yourself stuck in a comparison loop, questioning whether your magic is up to par. And then, there's this pressure to perform. It's a bit like a virtual stage where you're expected to constantly show off your magical prowess. It's like wanting to be seen as this uber witch who's got it all together, and here's the kicker, real witchcraft isn't always about perfectly framed photos, or the most Instagram worthy moments.

Sometimes it's messy. Sometimes it's experimental, and it should be always deeply personal, and that's okay. A lot of my magic happens right next to the kitchen sink, with all its dirty dishes, and it is not aesthetic. But the pressure to fit into this digital mold can sometimes pull you away from the authentic experience you signed up for.

I see this in the homeschool community too. You're supposedly living this life of deep connection and beautiful simplicity with your children, right? You're gathered around the school table, candles are lit, tea and scones and poetry. But the reality is, you have a camera jammed in their faces and a screen between you and them.

And it's the same with witches who are performing spells and rituals on social media. It is performative. It is purely for content creation. That spell is utterly lacking in power because the witch performing it isn't truly present mind, body, and soul. And listen, there's a place for that. That's a great resource for learning sometimes.

But you need to know, you're not seeing magic happen. You are seeing a performance. of magic. I get it. I really do. My business relies heavily on social media, and I've felt that pressure to make lovely video content, but it's empty and hollow, and it's not magic at all, and frankly, it's misleading. And I would rather put my efforts elsewhere, and I think you should too.

Social media is a trap. You want to be real, but you're also aware that your online presence is only a glimpse into your true, full self. It's like trying to strike a balance between sharing your truth and curating the parts that fit the vibe. Social media does bring a lot of good, too. It's a place where you can learn, you can grow, you can draw inspiration from witches who might be miles away, you can connect with mentors, find your tribe, and you can get a virtual boost of confidence when you share your wins.

Just please proceed with eyes open. The trick is finding that sweet spot, using social media as a tool for connection, knowledge, inspiration, while also knowing when to take a step back and embrace the real, unfiltered magic that is your own personal journey. It's about recognizing that your path is unique, and it might not look like everyone else's, and that's where the true enchantment lies.

Remember, your journey is valid, your magic is real, and your community, both online and offline, is waiting to share in the wonders of your witchy adventure. So, how do we find real community, real friendships with whom we can share the deepest parts of our witchy selves? There's something so special about connecting with people who share your vibe, isn't there?

It's like finding a hidden garden where you can freely explore your craft and exchange experiences and just be your wonderfully weird witchy self. These are the folks who will get excited about moon phases and spell ingredients and the deep cosmic mysteries that keep your heart all aflutter. They won't raise an eyebrow when you talk about energy work or your latest tarot reading.

Instead, they'll lean in, eager to hear more. So where do you begin? Well, there is an amazing world of connections for us. Social media platforms, online forums, and even witchy themed events can be magical gateways. You could join Facebook groups or Reddit threads centered around witchcraft, and that can lead you to kindred spirits who understand your journey.

See if you can strike up a private conversation with someone you feel a pull towards on social media. Go slow, don't be weird, give it time, see what develops. Maybe just start with commenting on a few posts or stories even before reaching out. I'll be honest, I get so many scammers and offers for readings in my messages, it's sometimes with dread that I open them.

But then, when someone is genuinely attempting connection, it just, it lights me up. I love those conversations, and I have built some real, deep, diverse, lasting friendships around the world through online conversations. I hope someday to meet those friends in person. Don't overlook the power of the good ol physical world.

Local metaphysical shops, bookstores, even workshops can be treasure troves of potential witchy friends. Go regularly to browse at the bookstore. Get creative. I met a lovely woman the other day in the metaphysical section at our used bookshop. Are we going to go on to become best friends? Probably not.

But it was a dopamine hit and a lovely encounter that filled me with love and hope for my fellow witchy kind. I felt seen and not quite so alone. Even fleeting moments of connection are a bomb to our souls. I hope she left feeling the same way. So strike up conversations about a crystal you're eyeing or a book you're browsing.

You never know where the conversation might lead. And don't forget to be authentic. Just be yourself. Authenticity is like a magnet for the right kind of friends. Let your true, witchy self shine, even if it's a little weird. You'll naturally attract the right souls who resonate with your energy. How do we nurture these newfound connections?

Well, like any relationship, it takes time and effort. Share your experiences, ask questions, offer your support, and listen. Listen with all of your heart and your body. It's in these shared moments that deep bonds are woven. Here's a prompt to explore in your Book of Shadows. When we meet someone new. We often stick to the same old small talk.

We fall into a pattern of asking the same questions and not listening closely with our whole selves to the answers because we really don't care about the answer to that particular question. Wouldn't you love to dig a little deeper when getting to know someone new? Ask them questions you really care about the answers to.

I'm not talking about gotcha questions or quizzing them on their witchy knowledge, but maybe you could ask something like... about their favorite, random, non magical household object they've used in spell work. Or if they feel more of a connection to the moon or the sun. When you really listen to someone, you'll know what questions to ask.

But it doesn't hurt to have some in your back pocket either. So, here's what I want to offer you as a reflection point this month in your Book of Shadows. What are some interesting questions you could ask a new witchy acquaintance? Remember, friendship is two way. Be there for them, just as they're there for you.

Share your triumphs and challenges and be open to learning from their insights. There's a beautiful exchange of knowledge and energy that happens when two witchy hearts come together. In person, witchy friends are rare and so, so special, so cherish those, but don't overlook online and long distance friendships either.

Our modern world has gifted us some pretty amazing technologies to remove the obstacle of geography when it comes to friendship. Some friendships will naturally blossom, while others might take a bit of time and nurturing, and some may just fizzle out. Be patient and trust the universe's timing. So there you have it, my thoughts, and a little bit of guidance on making witchy friends.

Remember, it's all about connecting with kindred spirits who light up your path and help you uncover the secrets of the universe one potion at a time. I've done a lot of talking so far in this episode, and little of it directly about magic. So let's think magically for just a moment about how we can find these witchy connections that will so enhance our lives and our practice.

Abundance magic is for far more than just attracting material wealth into our lives. Think more broadly. I'm sure you're familiar with money jar or bull spells, speaking of social media. These are some of the spells I see the most often repeated over and over. But, how could we use abundance magic to pull in community and witchy friends?

So, here's some materials you might need to do a witchy connection spell. Um, I would start with a candle, representing abundance and purity. I prefer to use, um, all natural beeswax candles for all of my spells. You're going to need a bowl of salt for purification, a small bowl of water, you could use rainwater if you have some, a lodestone, just a small piece, or a magnet, and then a handful of dried herbs like sage, rosemary, or lavender.

There are several herbs that are traditionally associated with fostering friendship, um, so here are a few that you might, might want to use. Rose is known as the herb of love. Rose petals and rose hips are also used to cultivate friendship. Rose opens the heart. It encourages compassion and it strengthens the bonds between people.

Lavender is not only common, but also it promotes harmony and understanding in relationships. And it can be used to create an atmosphere of comfort and ease, making it a great herb for fostering friendships. You might try chamomile, which is renowned for its soothing properties. It promotes relaxation and reduces tension.

And um, the important part for us today, it encourages open communication. Lemon balm is associated with joy and happiness. It's a very light hearted herb, it uplifts the spirits, and it just creates a lovely, positive, cheerful atmosphere, which can really contribute to building a strong and enjoyable friendship.

Mint, spearmint in particular, attracts positive energy, helps clear away negativity, so you might share mint tea, or incorporate mint into social gatherings. Basil is not only versatile as a culinary herb, it also carries associations of love and protection and harmony. So you can use it to create an atmosphere of warmth and goodwill.

Thyme is associated with courage, strength, and loyalty. It's believed to inspire trust and support among friends. Wonderful for deepening connections. Dill is often used to promote communication. It dispels negativity and it enhances understanding. So that's a good one for creating an environment where friends can openly and honestly share.

Jasmine is renowned for its sweet fragrance and associations with love and romance. However, it also strengthens connections and promotes trust and affection among friends. And then the final herb I'm going to mention is hibiscus, which is not only very visually appealing, but also used to attract positive energy and promote friendship.

You can use it in teas and beverages shared among friends. You don't need all of these herbs in this spell, just pick a couple that you have on hand or that particularly resonate with you. Okay, that was a side trip. Back to the ritual. You'll also need a piece of paper and a pen, matches, or a lighter. And then here's what you're gonna do.

You're gonna, you're gonna find a quiet and comfortable space where you won't be disturbed. Take a few deep breaths and just ground yourself. Close your eyes and spend some time visualizing the kind of supportive, inspiring, witchy friends that you wish to attract into your life. Imagine forming connections that uplift, empower, align with your magical journey.

Get really specific. Are you looking for one best friend? Are you looking for a circle of witches with whom you might gather monthly? Really visualize it. And then when you're ready, you're going to dip your fingertips into the bowl of water and touch your forehead, your heart. And as you do, visualize any negativity or barriers being washed away.

You might say something like, With this water's flow, I cleanse my energy, inviting in the connections I seek. Then you can light the candle, and you'll pass the bowl through the flame, saying, With this flame's light, I cleanse and purify this vessel. May my space be a magnet for kindred spirits. Place the bowl in front of you and then fill it with the salt.

Put the candle in the bowl with the salt, using it to help stand it up, and then take a pinch of whatever dried herbs you've picked and rub them between your palms, infusing them with your energy. Sprinkle the herbs around your candle, saying, These herbs empower my desire for like minded souls. May our energies align and flourish.

Then you're going to place your magnet or lodestone into the bowl. And on a piece of paper, you're going to write down your heartfelt intentions for the exact type of witchy connection you wish to manifest. Again, be specific. Think about the qualities. What kind of support, what kind of inspiration you're seeking.

Hold the paper in your hands and repeat the following three times. Like minds, like hearts, we unite. Under the moon and stars so bright. Witchy souls with bonds so strong. Our connections flourish. Our magic is strong. You're going to do that three times, and then close your eyes and visualize the paper glowing with a golden light.

Imagine it radiating your intentions out into the universe. Envision yourself surrounded by a circle of supportive, inspiring, witchy friends sharing wisdom and laughter. Then, you might want to use tweezers. You're going to light the paper using the candle flame and let it burn safely, allowing the ashes to fall in among your herbs and the salt around the candle.

As it burns, visualize your intentions being released into the universe, trusting that they'll be heard. When it's all burned up, gently blow out the candle and say, As I extinguish this flame, my intention is set. May the universe bring forth the witches I seek. Place the bowl in a prominent location in your home where you'll see it often.

You can also put it on your altar if you have one. And whenever you pass by, take a moment to visualize your goal and feel gratitude for the abundance of witchy friends coming your way. Periodically, you might re light the candle for a few minutes while focusing on your intention. And you can always add more herbs as needed.

While the spell is powerful, remember it's also a catalyst for your efforts. So take practical steps towards your goal. You're going to have to do the work of talking to people, of being open, of being receptive. You're not going to find these connections if you never leave your house. So to speak. Express gratitude for the connections that are already present in your life and for the ones that are on their way.

And then keep your heart and mind open for new opportunities and new connections. Act on any intuitive nudges that lead you to events, groups, or even just striking up conversation with somebody in the grocery line. Okay? The magic is not just in the ritual. It's in your ongoing openness and willingness to connect with others.

So keep that intention alive in your heart and let the universe work its enchantment. You could also add other crystals to this spell bowl, or you could charge one to carry with you. Crystals are great because they hold the energetic properties, and this can include properties for attracting relationships and friendships.

So, some crystals that I really like for fostering social connection would be Rose Quartz, Amethyst, Citrine is often associated with joy and positivity and abundance. It's a great one for self esteem. Clear Quartz, of course. Green aventurine is often called the Stone of Opportunity, so it's believed to bring luck and abundance, and maybe you need a little luck in finding a friendship.

To harness the energy of these crystals for friendship, you can carry them with you or place them in your living space, or you could even create a friendship crystal grid or arrangement. So, one last topic for today, and that is finding a witchy mentor. This is one of the things I get asked about over and over, so I know it's on your minds.

Yes. Yes, having a witchy mentor is amazing, but they're few and far between, let me tell you. Especially if you're a highly selective person in your relationships, and this is an area where you should proceed with caution, discretion, and eyes open. It's been about 10 years since I lost my witchy mentor to cancer, and I haven't had one since.

I feel the lack of that relationship daily. So, how do you go about finding this mentor? Well, start by embracing the idea that mentors can come in lots of different forms. They might be a seasoned witch who's been walking the path for years, or they might be a fellow practitioner who's a few steps ahead of you.

They could even be someone who doesn't identify as a witch, or they might be someone you meet online, or at a workshop, or through your local witchy community. The first step is to set your intention. You need to ask the universe to guide you toward a mentor that resonates with your energy and needs.

Trust your instincts, that inner voice that whispers this could be the one. When seeking a mentor, remember, it's a two way journey. Just as you're looking for guidance. They're looking for genuine connection with someone who's eager to learn and grow. Approach potential mentors with respect and a sincere desire to learn from their experiences.

Remember, the relationship with your mentor is built on trust and mutual understanding. It's about respecting their time and knowledge while they offer guidance and insight. It's a bond that's nurtured over time, through shared experiences, through conversations, and really just a genuine exchange of energies.

Don't be discouraged if the first connection isn't a perfect fit. Also, don't be discouraged if you find somebody who you think would be a great mentor, and they charge for that service. A lot of witches make their living this way, and I'm all for it. Just... Go with discretion and don't commit yourself financially until you're very, very sure that this is the right fit.

Just like any relationship, mentorship needs to resonate on both sides. Sometimes, the mentor you're seeking might cross your path when you least expect it. That was the case for me. And keep in mind that a mentor should respect you just as much as you respect them. Don't fall prey to abuses of power.

I've got to say this as someone who loves reading about cults and cult leaders and also as someone who saw a lot of abuse. with mental and physical during my days of heavy involvement in the yoga community. Don't fall prey to abuses of power. With the digital age, you can connect with witches from around the world with just a few clicks.

Online forums, social media groups, and even virtual events can be your gateway to finding a mentor who aligns with your journey. Engage. Ask questions. You shouldn't be afraid to ask a potential mentor questions and participate in discussions. You'll naturally gravitate towards individuals whose energy matches yours.

And when you do connect with a potential mentor, take the time to really get to know them. Ask about their journey, their practices, and their beliefs, and listen closely. Share your own experiences and goals. It's in these conversations that you'll get a sense of whether this connection is meant to flourish.

Remember, finding a mentor isn't just about gaining magical insights, it's also about forming a deep, meaningful bond with another witch. A mentor becomes a friend, a guide, and a confidant on your journey. They're someone you can turn to for advice, for support, for those aha moments that propel your craft forward.

So as you set out on this quest to maybe find a witchy mentor, trust the universe's timing, stay open to the connections that come your way, and above all, follow your heart. Your magical mentor might be just around the corner, ready to join you on this extraordinary journey of growth and discovery. This month, in
