    2026/04/12

    In this episode of the Magick Kitchen Podcast, Leandra Witchwood and Elyse Welles welcome back Laura Tempest Zakroff to talk about their new book, Tarot by Tempest, and they approach to reading tarot through pattern, rhythm, imagery, and elemental relationships. Together, they explore why tarot does not have to be intimidating, how the Minor Arcana can become more accessible, and why rigid meanings often get in the way of real spiritual insight.

    They also dive into Laura’s work on the Witches’ Ally Oracle, the relationship between art and divination, and the importance of building connection with the decks and tools you actually use. Along the way, this conversation touches on sigil witchery, creative practice, collaboration, magical resistance, and what it means to let tarot become a living relationship rather than a memorization exercise.

    If you have ever felt overwhelmed by tarot, or wanted a more intuitive and embodied way into the cards, this episode is a rich and refreshing place to begin. You can explore more of Laura’s work through their Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/owlkeyme.arts/ and their website a

  • Why Cultural Attribution Matters in Witchcraft
    2026/03/29

    Send us Fan Mail

    What does it really mean to practice with respect when we borrow from folklore, deity work, and traditions outside our own direct lineage?

    In this episode, Leandra Witchwood and Elyse Welles explore the importance of cultural attribution in witchcraft and why naming the roots of a practice matters. They talk about the difference between appropriation and respectful engagement, how social media often strips spiritual traditions of their depth, and why it is not enough to simply repeat something because it looks magical online.

  • AI Spells, Bots, and WitchTok: Practicing Beyond the Scroll
    2026/03/15

    Send us Fan Mail

    Is TikTok ruining witchcraft? In this episode of Magick Kitchen Podcast, Leandra Witchwood and Elyse Welles talk candidly about WitchTok, discernment, and what happens when inexperienced witches end up teaching other beginners. They unpack the “keeping up with the Joneses” pressure social media can create—how polished, aesthetic spell videos can disconnect you from your own practice, and how public spellwork can leave energetic holes a seasoned practitioner can see. They also name a growing concern: AI-generated spells, recipes, and even bot accounts that imitate real people, muddying the waters of trust.

  • Word Witchery and the Poetry Priestess Path with Katie Ness
    2026/03/01

    Send us Fan Mail

    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. We also touch on sacred land, voice, and the healing of expression.

  • Why Imbolc Matters: Candlemas, Brigid, and the Hearth
    2026/02/02

    Send us Fan Mail

    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.”

  • Respectful Deity Work: Culture, Consent, and Trust with Deborah Blake
    2026/01/18

    Send us Fan Mail

    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
    2026/01/04

    Send us Fan Mail

    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.
