This week on the podcast we got embodied, using our corporeal spirit to sing, hug, and conjure the divine. The story of Alice Coltrane teaches us about the power of music as a tool to transcend loss, and our interview with Mel The Body Witch helps us understand how self-love can bring a sense of liberation.
As dry leaves fall and mimic footsteps in the dark, we adjust our eyes to the nighttime of our year and gather together as witches around a metaphorical cauldron to mix our tones, memories, and hopes for the future to create a medicine we all can share.
Whether we are howling at the moon, singing devotional songs, chanting protest slogans and protection incantations, or whispering secret love poems to ourselves in the mirror, let's find ways for our voices to help us weather the storms. All creation sings, sweet Witches, and you are a member of a universal choir that awaits your improvised harmonies.

Invitations
Calling on the Cancer Coven
Tuesday, Oct 22, 2:00 PM - 03:00 PM EDT
Hosted by Risa: "A coven mate reached out to share her experience with cancer and let me vent and feel not so lonely. I know other coven members walk their own versions of this road, so this is an open invitation to join us.
Whether you have experienced cancer or want to learn more or lend your love and magic to us, you are welcome."
Coven Invite: Business Mastermind Group Support
Tuesday, Oct 22, 6:30 PM - 07:30 PM EDT
Hosted by Holly: "Let's work our collective magic as we build our businesses together!"
Coven Invite: Prayer Portal Ritual: Hoshanna Rabbah
Wednesday, Oct 23, 8:00 PM - 09:00 PM EDT
Hosted by Deb Apple. "In Judaic tradition, this day is said to be a portal for miracles. It is the day we traditionally pray for the rains, but it also a time when the channel is open to petition for that which needs a miracle to bring into being. We will co-create a petition to dismantle the capitalist military-industrial complex. Please come ready to focus your magic for the collective good."
Coven Event: New Moon in Scorpio: Circles
Sunday, Nov 3, 4:00 PM - 05:30 PM EST
That's 1pm Pacific, 3pm CT, 8pm UTC, 6:30AM ACDT!
Our Scorpio chapter in New Moon Magic is dedicated to the Circle and its power, so it feels right to try out a different day and time for our monthly coven gatherings, to see if more folks from different time zones can join us and strengthen our circle!
Please help us spread the word if you know covenmates in different time zones who haven't been able to attend in the past!
