Cauldron Cooking: Simmering Aromatherapy Pot on the Stove

I wanted to give everyone a tip to help them get through the last days of winter here. You can put your cauldron on your wood stove or your conventional stove and fill it with water and some spices or potpourri and just let it simmer and fill your space with goodness. A bit of natural aromatherapy. These are the toughest days of winter. All the holidays are over, and we’re in this limbo period. Even with the days getting longer, people are fed up with winter and feeling down.

If you’re having problems concentrating — add some citrus slices to your slow simmering water. Just be sure to not forget it’s there and turn off the stove or remove the pan before all the water runs out. I use my wood stove, so it slowly simmers while the wood fire burns and I have to watch it less frequently then on a conventional stove-top.

News about February 10, 2018 Episode

Sorry to report there will be no podcast this week. MareLin has been hit by that awful winter bug. Send her good energies and good thoughts. We are filling her with elderberry syrup, ginger tea, and all kinds of witchy goodness. Hopefully she’ll mend quickly and our February 17, 2018 episode will air as usual.

Be well!

Episode 26, Season One, A Reversal of Fortune, December 16, 2017

Greetings Listeners and Visitors!

In this week’s podcast we hear messages from the Nine of Swords — Reversed! We cover Yule Log making, the New Moon Rising in Sagittarius — since the sun is in Sag, too, it makes for an epic time for lots of socializing, which is good timing given the holiDAZE, as Runa likes to say. The Wheel of the Year finds us celebrating the dark days, including Krampus. We whip up a quick meal in the cauldrons for this crazy time of year. Julia from Le Noir Bazaar is our Pagan Connections guest (the maker of MareLin’s wonderful priestess headdress). We talk about giving 15 minutes a day towards decluttering. Our Old Ones’ Wisdom talks about dismantling the patriarchy and you get some homework with the Spell of the Week.
