Astrologically, we delve into Pluto stationing retrograde and the illusions of Neptune.
We talk about navigating the good and bad days of COVID-19, how we can tap into natural rhythms, and recognise decision points in our lives.
As always, it's peppered with witchy wisdom and real life tips for riding this time of deep change.

This episode was recording during a dark moon as we meander through a mysterious Mercury retrograde in Pisces. Cheryl and Kim pick apart how this plays out in both magical and mundane ways. We explore strategies for staying grounded amid the 'white noise' and how we can engage with the stories we tell ourselves in more conscious ways. How can we anchor ourselves? What does it mean to belong? What tools support a wandering witch?

Originally scheduled for Beltane 2019, this episode of Witch: Radiant + Rooted was delayed by adversity in the lives of your hosts, Kim and Cheryl. In this episode, Cheryl shares her recent direct experience of the fire element and we weave it into the larger narrative of responding to the changes indicated by the planets in 2020.
