Invitation to Explore Witchcraft Topics
00:00:12
Speaker
Join us as we navigate through various witchy topics and share what we have learned about the
Nocturnal and Lunar Witches Series
00:00:16
Speaker
craft. So get in witches for part three of our Witch Witch series, where we talk about nocturnal and lunar witches.
00:00:48
Speaker
Which, which is so hard
Host's Voice Condition
00:00:50
Speaker
to say. It is. Yeah, it is. Any hoozies. Oh my, you know, I sh, it doesn't even matter like what I drink or suck on cough drops, not penis. My voice is just not here. Um, yeah, so I guess listeners FYI,
00:01:12
Speaker
My voice is rough. I'm like a man and it comes and goes because I have been really sick this week, but committed. I'm here. Yes. Here, writing the newsletter, reading book club books.
Darker Shades of Magic Discussion
00:01:30
Speaker
I had to put our book club book down for a minute because I'm almost done with it.
00:01:38
Speaker
even July it. I just got to the pirate. Don't you love her? I loved her from the first sentence. Alexis hated her until book two. And I was like, How can you hate her? I love her like that. I mean, we'll talk about on book club. I mean,
00:01:55
Speaker
Well, yeah, we'll talk about on book club, but just as a little spoiler for our listeners who do not subscribe to our Supercast and are not privy to our book club episodes, whenever I first was introduced to her and like the little story that went with her introduction, I was like, she's my favorite person. She's so cool. Literally, Lila's my favorite. Acting like a man. With her eyes as burning down butts. I love it. She's the best. She's like the epitome of like the Taylor Swift song, if I was a man.
00:02:25
Speaker
I love it. She's the best. And like, if you guys, we didn't say what we were reading. So if you guys haven't read it, it's the Darker Shades of Magic trilogy. And it's amazing. It's one of my favorite trilogies. I need to figure out what that dude did to the crown prince or whatever.
00:02:44
Speaker
I'm just like, what? But also, I went and looked up, obviously no spoilers, like content or whatever, like pictures of the characters. And I'm just saying, I'm here for, what is his name? The main character guy. I can't even think of his name, Kel. I tried to call him Kel in my head.
00:03:10
Speaker
He is gouches in the fanart. With his black eye and blue eye. So I have the audiobook. The guy who narrates it, he sounds like he's quite a bit older. So picturing him way older. Yeah, and they're younger. And they're a lot younger. And he is fine.
00:03:35
Speaker
I'm just saying. Yeah, no, these these books are so good. They're so good. I'm like, excited. I've been wanting to reread them for a long time. And then she decided to come out with a new book. So I was like, perfect timing. I'm going to read them now. Absolutely. Yeah, I like it. Yeah. So it's good. But what are we talking about?
Challenges in Nocturnal Witchcraft Research
00:03:57
Speaker
Yeah, we're talking about witches.
00:04:08
Speaker
So Tiffany, you're going to cover nocturnal witches. I'm going to cover lunar witchcraft. Yes. I was really excited to learn about this and then I learned that it's really hard.
00:04:28
Speaker
I learned really quickly that it's really hard. So if you've ever been interested in nocturnal witchcraft, just know it's hard to find the information, but just do what feels right. Go out at night and do what feels right. That was like the gist of everything. But so like there's literally like little to no information outside of there's like a six book series on nocturnal witchcraft.
00:04:55
Speaker
And it's published through Llewelyn if you're interested in it. And I just I didn't have either like the access to them because they I would have had to order them, right? Yeah. And honestly, did not have the time to read six books to do this episode. So we're gonna like get them in the mail to do. Yeah, like any of that to do this episode, but we're gonna we're gonna do our best with this information.
Understanding Nocturnal Witchcraft
00:05:21
Speaker
And then if you're like really interested and it's something you think that you want to learn more about, I would definitely suggest these books, I guess, because this seems to be the only person really talking about this topic, which was just weird to me. But like, so the sole person that tends to cover this topic is an occultist that goes by the name Constantinos.
00:05:44
Speaker
and he wrote like the entire series of nocturnal witchcraft and it gives basically from what i was understanding about the books like reading through some people's reviews it gives like a nocturnal slash like dark spin to traditional wicca so you know if wicca is not your thing i would say just like
00:06:06
Speaker
do what feels right to you based on what I'm gonna talk about. If Wicca is your thing, it's basically taking Wicca and doing it at night or with different nocturnal elements.
00:06:21
Speaker
So basically, we're just going to go through some of the things that make up Nocturnal Witchcraft very briefly, because it was all the information that I was able to gather without having the time to really track down these books and read them. You really have to dig through Google searches, too, to find this information, because outside of being a type of witchcraft, Nocturnal Witch was a Polish metal, death metal band at one point.
00:06:47
Speaker
Um, they had a lot of music. So every time I searched it, it was like lyrics to nocturnal witches, blah, blah, blah, song wild. Um, and then like, obviously you're going to get those Constantino books. Um, and then trying to search things like night, which are night witchcraft that just pulls up a really bad ass, like all female squadron of bomber pilots that were called the night witches. Um, I fell down a whole rabbit hole for a little while and had to like reel myself in to do this research. Cause I was like, Oh man, these are really cool people.
00:07:17
Speaker
It's also an RPG game and a comedy sitcom and a couple of other things. So researching it is going to give you a really diverse plethora of information.
00:07:30
Speaker
But in terms of what I could get from some of the reviews and some of the websites that sell Constantino's books, Constantino teaches that nocturnal witches basically just cast nocturnal circles, invoke dark deities, spend time scrying the night itself,
00:07:49
Speaker
Opening gates to the underworld, exploring the symbolic realm of shadow, illusion, and the mysteries of the unknown, cast spells through dark ether, dream for change, explore the mysteries of death and speak with the dead, and use the power of magnetism and suggestion.
00:08:11
Speaker
Outside of Constantino, what I found is that basically the nocturnal witch works with nocturnal energies, which obviously, like that makes sense, right? And this differs from diurnal or day energies. So you're thinking like the day is like, you know, you have all these like loud noises, there's a lot of like constant chaotic energy, you're getting energy from the sun. Nocturnal, it's usually like calmer, you're getting the energies of the moon and then like the dark itself.
00:08:40
Speaker
So they work with the moon, they work with spiritual entities, dark gods and goddesses, and they prefer to work magic after dark. And while the dark is often equated to bad or evil, it's important to remember that the dark balances the light and it should be embraced and destigmatized.
00:08:59
Speaker
Nocturnal witches tend to be more comfortable at night, and they're drawn to the darkness and all things that come with that nighttime frame. Their practice typically occurs between the hours of midnight and just before sunrise.
Nocturnal Energies and Personal Experiences
00:09:12
Speaker
Since the night has what is considered to be like a sympathetic link to dark deities, nocturnal witches that work with deities have been noted to work with the dark ones specifically. Many of these deities have ties to the underworld, to death, destruction, darker months like winter.
00:09:30
Speaker
uh war and even demons. And some examples of this would be for like dark goddesses. They tend to work with Hecate, Lilith, Brigid, Persephone, Circe, Nyx, Colly, the Morrigan, Hel, and Auclys. And for dark god examples would be like
00:09:49
Speaker
Hades, Anubis, Erebus, Hypnos, Thanatos, Eris, Chernobog, Sharon, Consu, and Cronus. And then some peak events for nocturnal witches are going to be things like the winter solstice, since it's like the longest night of the year, dark moons, but then again like really any moon because it's of the night itself, winter in general since the days are shorter, like those kinds of things.
00:10:19
Speaker
There's also a particular practice for casting a nocturnal circle when working nocturnal magic. And the way the circle is cast is believed to have like specific amplifications to nocturnal magic itself. I'm not going to go over them. I did include a link in our notes because it's like a 34 step process rolling through this website reading how they do this. And I was like,
00:10:45
Speaker
that'll be like an hour episode just itself. So if you're interested in nocturnal magic and you want to know what that process is, that link is going to be in our show notes, but it's literally 34 steps. So it's a very in-depth practice.
00:11:02
Speaker
And then the last thing that I found, I love me a good Reddit thread when it comes to like having a hard time finding information. So I stumbled across this Reddit thread because it wasn't even about like, initially this thread wasn't about nocturnal witchcraft at all. It was just this random user asked,
00:11:22
Speaker
Like a group of other witches she was just like hey do you guys feel more productive at night like what's up with that and then this thread goes on and on and on and eventually it got into like nocturnal witchcraft and like some of the things that they were saying i was like oh my gosh i want to include this because. Hey it makes sense and then like be there wasn't a whole lot of information on this so.
00:11:45
Speaker
something that did come up once they got to the point where they were like, oh yeah, like nocturnal witchcraft is a thing. One of the users was talking about how
00:11:55
Speaker
Like at night, there's less energetic noises or energies around. Like it's often quieter. And many of them were discussing how like, because of this, they were then, they felt more able to focus toward their craft without those distractions, making them feel more productive in their practice. And it wasn't even necessarily just witchcraft. Once they started talking about this, there was like a whole group of people that were like, yeah, like I get my best, like,
00:12:23
Speaker
house chores done at night, like if I'm in school, like I write my best papers at night, like all of them were just like my work projects. It's much better if I can do them at night. Like I'm more focused. I'm more like in tune with what I'm doing. And then another topic was like the sun itself not being energizing. And I actually relate to this. I love a good like warm day out in the sun, but I know like
00:12:53
Speaker
After I've spent all day out and I come in, I'm just drained. Like I'm ready to take a nap. And they were talking about how like majority of people will feel energized by the sun, but if you are more nocturnal or like you practice nocturnal witchcraft, the sun is going to be draining to you and you're going to feel more energized at night sitting out under the moon.
00:13:15
Speaker
I've never like sat out at night and been like, Oh, now I need a nap versus like, I spend the day in the sun and I'm like, Oh man, I'm really fucking tired now. So I'm like, I actually really related to that. I was like, that makes a lot of sense for me. So someone also went into the whole like study of like ancient circadian rhythms where like some people
00:13:39
Speaker
Some people are more adept to the day, and then there had to be people that were adept to the night to stand guard or do things that had to be done back in
00:13:52
Speaker
ancient times when we didn't have all these like machines or like things that did things for us, you know, basically people had to work around the clock, essentially. So there was like this split in people and circadian rhythms. And so it was like this whole thing. And it had nothing to do with nocturnal witchcraft. But again, I like to fall down rabbit holes. So
00:14:14
Speaker
And then another thing was that like a lot of them were just talking about how they prefer to practice at night because the nighttime feels more peaceful to them. There's a lot less strain and stimulation happening at night and it makes it easier to focus and not feel agitated or overstimulated. So they were equating like the feeling that they got from the night and the moon to like comfort and peace. And then the last thing was that
00:14:39
Speaker
The general consensus among this group of Reddit users was that they felt they really thrived in the energies offered by the night versus struggling to get through the day because they were tired.
00:14:52
Speaker
lacked energy and lacked motivation. But when night comes around, instead of feeling so tired that they go to sleep, they get this burst of energy and second wind, essentially. And then they're able to practice their witchcraft or get chores done or whatever it is that they have to do that day.
00:15:12
Speaker
That's essentially all I could find on Nocturnal Witchcraft without buying that book series and reading about it. And that's been a long time guys. Yeah. Wow, that's interesting though. I will say like, with what you were saying towards the end about like,
00:15:28
Speaker
um the moon being more energizing than the sun and some for some people like i am one of those people i do i get tired too if i'm out in the sun and it like exhausts me and then i feel like i need to come in and take a nap but i am not a night person at all like i will fall asleep at nine o'clock at night and i will even like oh yeah i will get something done at night i promise and then i fall asleep like in the middle of doing it so i don't even know maybe i'm just a midday type of person i don't know but
00:15:59
Speaker
It's like that meme. I forget what it says at the first part, but it's like the last part is I'm just a permanently exhausted pigeon.
00:16:09
Speaker
That is perfectly describing myself. But my husband is one of those people where he will get work done. I mean, middle of the night, he'll just be up for hours doing whatever he needs to do. Yeah. And I'm like, absolutely. There's no way. I can't even. It's ridiculous. I cannot. I will fall asleep sitting up, and I've done it many times. I can't.
00:16:37
Speaker
It's also, I think...
00:16:41
Speaker
It could be like an ADD thing, right? Like once, when you have ADD, once you start something that you know you have to do, it becomes like this hyper-focus. Cause I know I've caught myself doing that where I'm like, oh, I'll do this like one chore tonight. And then it like that one chore turns into like, I've hyper-focused for three hours. It's like one o'clock in the morning and I'm still like scrubbing like the little handles to the sink with the toothbrush.
00:17:09
Speaker
When you pick that thing, when you have ADD and you're like, I need to do this one thing. This is the only thing I need to do. So I'm going to focus on it and do it. And then you could just lose track of time. That's, I mean, I feel like that's my husband. But now that we've gone on an ADD tangent. Let's get back on topic. Back on track. Back on track before I lose my voice completely. Because now it's you. Now it's me.
00:17:36
Speaker
So I'm going to be talking about lunar witchcraft.
Lunar Witchcraft and Moon Phases
00:17:41
Speaker
So just as a little background, lunar witchcraft is all about working your witchcraft according to moon phases. It's a part of sympathetic magic. And really what this means whenever we talk about sympathetic magic is this is using objects or actions that resemble or are symbolically associated with the event or person over which the influence is sought. And that is from
00:18:06
Speaker
Cambridge dictionary. So just FYI, I did not come up with that definition myself. But so someone can be magically affected by an object or action that is represented or connected with them. And that's pretty much the premise of sympathetic magic. And so for someone practicing lunar magic, they are taking the moon and its changes.
00:18:27
Speaker
like hence the waning, the waxing, the full moon, all that stuff, and prescribing it a magical correspondence that they then use within their own life. So a little bit of background and history about lunar magic. So we've talked a lot throughout multiple episodes on this podcast about how throughout history the moon has been a useful tool for civilizations all over the world. Before we started using the calendar that we use today, the Gregorian calendar,
00:18:55
Speaker
The lunar calendar and the lunar solar calendars were used to pretty much dictate a lot of things in people's lives, whether that be festivals, planting and harvesting periods, or even just like working with plants using the moon. This dates back over thousands of years. But even today, so like I mentioned, we use the Gregorian calendar,
00:19:16
Speaker
The months are essentially based off of a lunar calendar and so like the lunar calendar or the lunar cycle I'm sorry is about 28 days and all of our months on like within the 12 months of the year roughly fall between on average 29 and a half days give or take obviously I didn't know that little tidbit and so that I thought that was pretty interesting that all of our months kind of follow the lunar cycle as well I mean and that's something that I knew just like
00:19:46
Speaker
if you think about it along, like every month, the like full moon, new moon, all of the different waning waxing moons, they kind of fall in the same similar pattern. They didn't know that our months were kind of based on it. Yeah, that's pretty cool. So the moon is also used directionally. Throughout history, sailors would use the stars and the moon to navigate. And then
00:20:13
Speaker
of course within spirituality and religion the moon is used throughout history obviously it's still used today so the moon itself has been the embodiment of many gods and goddesses and there's a lot of lunar deities that are
00:20:29
Speaker
connected to like fertility. There's some that are connected to male deities as well, but just a couple that I'm going to note. Artemis, and this comes from the Greek pantheon, she's known as the huntress and the protector of animals and nature. Often she was worshipped on the noon moon phase of the lunar cycle.
00:20:48
Speaker
And then Hecate, which we have already talked about on this podcast, and then Tiffany, I think you covered her in a previous podcast a long ass time ago. And she's also from the Greek pantheon, known as the dark goddess. She is associated with the dark moon phase, also known as the goddess of witchcraft, sometimes depicted as a hag, but she is the goddess of crossroads and rebirth and death.
00:21:13
Speaker
Like I said, Tiffany covered her in a previous episode, so if you are interested in learning more about Hecate, go back and find that episode. I did not list the episode number, but it's not going to be difficult to find. And then of course, if you are a seeker for Wicca or you are part of the Wicca traditions, the moon plays a huge part in Wicca as
00:21:35
Speaker
it's depicted within the triple goddess. Pretty much everybody has seen this because it's not even just like a symbol that's necessarily associated with Wicca anymore. You see it a lot just associated with witchcraft in general, but the moon with like the full moon with the waxing and waning crescents on either side of it. That is also a depiction of the maiden, the mother, and the crone. So
00:22:02
Speaker
If you wanted to practice lunar witchcraft, what would you even do? So we have talked just so much in the past about the moon and different moon phases. We have episodes on astrology, episodes on easy everyday rituals, cleansing, charging, and banishing.
00:22:20
Speaker
we have talked about the moon so much on this podcast so i'm not going to go into like super specifics on how you can work with the moon just because i mean there's so much you could do and we've talked about it so much but just as a quick little side note and shout out to our supercast subscribers all of the newsletters that i send out every month i list what the moon phases are for every month and a little
00:22:46
Speaker
blurb about like for this moon phase this is what you can do if you want to do a ritual during this time. So if you are not a supercast subscriber and you are wanting maybe like a little nudge every month on when these moon phases are definitely think about subscribing and becoming a supercast member so that you can have access to that.
00:23:10
Speaker
but something that you can do to work with the moon is like gardening within specific moon phases and there's even scientific research shown that there are benefits to this which i think is really cool because you know so many people say that
00:23:26
Speaker
you know witchcraft and the moon and the tides and everything like all of that's just like pretend like it's just a placebo effect and really there's actual scientific research showing that it is not just that but really the moon can just be a tool that we can use to influence our spells um we can use it as a calendar to focus on different themes throughout the month and just briefly um i'm going to touch on
00:23:54
Speaker
some of the phases of the moon. I mean, I guess just some little basics about what you can do during each phase or what you should be working on in each phase. The first phase is a new moon. This is the time where you're beginning a new cycle. This is a great time to set intentions for what you want to achieve. Then after the new moon, we have the waxing period of the moon. This occurs between
00:24:24
Speaker
the new moon and the two weeks before the full moon. So during this time, you really want to focus on stepping into action, doing things, manifesting, calling something into your life, nourishing and fostering things that are in your life. And some themes really are all about abundance, fertility and money. During this time of the waxing moon before the full moon,
00:24:48
Speaker
There are three different moon phases. So the first one being the waxing crescent. And this is a great time to plan your goals. So think about what is the intention you want and what can you do to achieve it? So just outlining that. Then there's the first quarter moon. And this is all about bringing balance. So the first quarter moon, the light that's shining on the moon is equal on each side. And so during this time,
00:25:15
Speaker
Really thinking about the intention that you want and the efforts that you're putting in to achieve those those goals. Do they match up? Because if not, then you know You're gonna have to change the efforts that you want or change up the intention that you're wanting to achieve and then the waxing gibbous Which this is right before the full moon. This is the basically like the action face planning to action and
00:25:39
Speaker
and putting that action into motion. Next is the full moon, and this is a time to really celebrate. This time of the month, whenever we have the full moon, this is a lot of high energy, so this is a great time to charge your crystals, make your moon water, and it's also a time to give back, to have gratitude,
00:26:00
Speaker
heart like think of this time is like harvesting your efforts after this period we go into the waning period and this is really encompassed by the two weeks after the full moon during this time the themes here are banishing releasing and cutting things out
00:26:15
Speaker
So you might think of this as like releasing rituals, cutting ties, anything that's like anti-hexing. Any of this is perfect to be done during this waning period of the moon. And along with the waxing period, there are three moon phases that occur during this waning period. The first is the waning gibbous.
00:26:38
Speaker
This is the time to become more introspective and to start looking at what worked, what didn't work, and what you can release and let go of.
00:26:47
Speaker
The last quarter, this is again that balancing period where the moon, the light that's shining on the moon is equal to the darkness that we are seeing. This is really accepting the balance and figuring out and seeing what is serving us, what is not, and what are the things that are sucking your energy. All of those things are perfect to think about during this quarter.
00:27:11
Speaker
And then the winning crescent. This is the time when only basically a small sliver of the moon is still visible in the sky. And this is the perfect time to actually step into action and release and let go of anything that you're holding on to before we get to the new moon again.
00:27:31
Speaker
But before we get to the new moon, there is also a moon phase that some people include whenever they're talking about moon phases, some people don't. It is actually a scientific term for one of our moon slash lunar phases. I will talk about it obviously, but this is the dark moon. This is when the moon and the sun are in conjunction and the moon appears completely black in the sky. This is the phase right before the new moon.
00:28:01
Speaker
And during this time, this is a time of rest, time of recharge, and a time to gather energy before that new moon period.
Lunar Rituals and Practice Flexibility
00:28:10
Speaker
With all that being said, and now you know a little bit more about the moon and all of its phases and cycles, let's talk about some lunar rituals. Obviously, something that we've talked about so many times on this podcast, Moonwater, this is a perfect thing that you can do to celebrate the moon, to use lunar witchcraft in your practice. All you have to do is really get any sort of jar.
00:28:33
Speaker
I always cover my jar so a mason jars are perfect for this but if you don't have mason jars you can even just take like a glass fill it up with water put some saran wrap all over the top and set it outside overnight and then grab it in the morning and then you can water your plants with it you can use it in any sort of spells or rituals you can bathe in it you can drink it there's so many things you could do with moon water
00:28:59
Speaker
Also, another thing is charging your crystals. And like we've said this many times when we've talked about crystals on this podcast, make sure that the crystals that you're using to charge are ones that can be charged outside, ones that aren't going to be damaged, especially if you're living in a place with like where I'm at right now, high humidity, or some place that rains a lot. So if you're putting crystals outside that are not water safe,
00:29:24
Speaker
then you're just going to ruin your crystals. So just do your research, obviously. And also make sure that you collect them in the morning because some crystals, if they are outside and they're exposed to the sun, that can also damage them as well. So just do your research.
00:29:43
Speaker
And then another thing that you could do is setting up an altar that reflects your intention and incorporates a symbolism of the certain phase of the moon that you are working with. And then also you can do something just as simple as going for a walk whenever the moon is out, dancing under the moon with or without clothes, and then also doing a moon meditation. So this is
00:30:05
Speaker
something that you could do in or out of the broom closet, just going outside, sitting on your patio, sitting on your front porch, back porch, whatever you have while the moon is shining and doing a meditation and just incorporating that with whatever cycle or phase the moon is in and basing it with whatever your intention is as well.
00:30:27
Speaker
So one of the things that I will say though, it's important to remember that you don't have to incorporate all of the lunar phases and cycles into your practice to be a lunar witch. Your practice can simply consist of focusing on the full moon only or the new moon only or
00:30:43
Speaker
both and just let that be it. There's nothing that says that you have to do all of these things and do all of these nine moon phases or cycles and practice each one because that's not really sustainable for everyone. I'm telling you right now like
00:30:59
Speaker
I love to work with the moon, but I do not work and do rituals on every moon phase. I just don't have time for that. That's
Tracking Lunar Phases and Conclusion
00:31:08
Speaker
a lot. It is, yeah. It's a lot. Because it would be like you're doing something every week, sometimes twice a week. Yeah.
00:31:16
Speaker
I'm not here for that. But if you are though, and if you are someone who likes to do these moon rituals twice a week and you do this every single month, I would love to know more about that from you and know what your experience is. So let us know about that. But if you're interested in something to even just help you track lunar phases,
00:31:43
Speaker
and get that little nudge on, okay, this is when the next full moon is, or this is when the next new moon is, there are a lot of apps out there that can help you.
00:31:54
Speaker
So one of my favorite apps is Starwalk. This is not just for the moon, but it's for anything in the sky, essentially. I love this app. Me too. I will just be in my bed. What's up, though? If you want to send me in my phone and stuff, you don't have to be outside to use this.
00:32:15
Speaker
Um, it can be helpful though, if you are outside and you see a light in the sky and you're like, what the hell is that? It's not the moon or it's maybe it's a star. I don't know. Maybe it's a planet could be a UFO. Like you never know. Um, but that app is so, so cool.
00:32:34
Speaker
It is. You just like point it up and like move it around, like move your phone around and it'll show you every like constellation and star and planet that's like above you. Yes. And like have you ever pointed it down because it'll show you what's on the bottom side too? Oh my god. I love that. One day I was just like was playing with it forever. Anything I were like, what's this? What's this?
00:33:01
Speaker
It is really so cool. Yeah. Oh, my voice is going out, but I'm almost done. I promise. So also another app that I don't have, but I heard about this from the witch's cookery. She recommends this app called Moonly. And it is specifically for moon phases. And you can have it give you notifications for when different phases come up. And it gives you a little refresher on, OK, this moon phase is here.
00:33:30
Speaker
Here's what you should be focusing on, and I love that because it's nice to have those reminders, but there's tons of physical journals you can buy online. You can print them off on Etsy or Pinterest if you're into any of that, or you can buy it on Amazon, but something that I do because
00:33:51
Speaker
I'm not going to buy anything extra besides the planner I use anyway, um, is you could just physically write down or like draw the moon symbol for the different phases in your planner that you use. That's what I use. Um, and then I also like draw them on my fridge calendar as well, just as a little reminder of like, Oh, Hey, we have a full moon this weekend or a new moon. And if I feel like doing a ritual that weekend, I can do it.
00:34:18
Speaker
Anyway, that is a little bit about Lunar Witchcraft. And my voice has basically completely gone out. Your voice is like, we are done. We're done.
