In episode 156 of the Magick & Alchemy podcast, hosts Kristin Lisenby and Kate Belew discuss Earth Magick and Midsummer guardians. Led by their inner creatures, they begin by contemplating the folklore of the earth-dwelling goblin, a mischievous being who serves as the witch’s familiar. Then, spiraling deeper into the soil, they visit the roots of sacred trees. They consider roots as allies and teachers, and how they show up in ceremony. Kristin and Kate also discuss their plans for the Summer Solstice and share advice on creating rituals that bridge the weird and the wild, and make you feel alive.
