The Witchcast - Episode 46 - Solstice Season’s Greetings, the Magick of Siempre Bruja, The Wisdom of Jalesa Tucker, and a little Fringed Lily bush flower healing

Solstice blessings to you all - Lucy takes you into some of the traditions and ways of acknowledging the sacred Yule and joyous Litha solstices, does a deep dive into the undercurrents of real magick within the Netflix series, Siempre Bruja (Always a Witch). Where did it open doors, and where did it stumble - find out as Lucy explores the Santeria, Vodou and Latin traditions within the hit show which is, despite its flaws, definitely a game-changer in the magickal TV genre, so long dominated by literal white witches.

This show’s take on witchcraft and magick helps us see through fresh pagan eyes a world we may think we know, but still have so much to learn about. Then Lucy has an eye, heart and mind-opening frank and emotionally resonant discussion with Reiki practitioner, spiritual writer and potion mistress Jalesa Tucker about why spirituality needs Black Lives Matters - and how we can all work on inclusivity, making space and stepping up to the challenges that lie ahead. And finally - the perfect antidote for any seasonal intensity you may be experiencing in this year of wonder and weirdness could just be the gentle healing powers of the Australian bush flower, the Fringed Lily - explore its powers in Blessed Being.

And we close the year with three amazing pagan artists in this show - Wendy Rule, S.J Tucker and new (to Lucy!) artist Bowen with her standout track, Brave. Check out the clip - so many wild witchy women make an appearance!

Blessed Be, thankyou for being a part of the Witchcast this year - Lucy will be back in early 2021 with all the magicks that is the Witchcast. Until then, stay very well, know thou art blessed, and have the most beautiful, love-filled, magickal Solstice Season!
