We lean into that feeling with a Cozy Coven Chat that blends practical modern witchcraft with seasonal living, so you can ride the late-summer wave without getting knocked over by it.

Our Card Pull for August



We start with real-life reflections on travel, home, and what it means when a place finally feels like it fits. From there, we talk about community magic in Our Coven, including a symbolism theme that turns into a burst of creative divination. August’s coven focus shifts to potions.

The tarot and oracle pulls set the tone for the month: focused fire, fast movement, and the quiet hope of the Star. We connect that to the Leo New Moon for confidence and visibility, the transition into Virgo season for organization and decluttering, and a dreamy Pisces Full Moon that begs for spellwork. I also share a grounded take on Lammas or Lughnasadh as first harvest season, with a simple question you can use anywhere: what is being harvested where you live right now?


Along the way we get honest about social media, attention, “popcorn brain,” and why unplugging is not a moral flex but a real spiritual practice. There’s also a haunted-history detour to the Whaley House. Plus practical apothecary prep like four thieves vinegar and elderberry syrup for back-to-school season.

I’m Jenny C. Bell, and I’m walking through a grounded July astrology forecast that treats the retrograde as a tool: slow down, double-check the details, and give your feelings room to speak without judging them. If you’ve been wondering why you want to hermit while everyone else looks “summer social,” there’s a real rhythm to it.

We move through the month’s lunar anchors, including the New Moon in Cancer (July 14) for setting fresh intentions around home, care, and emotional nourishment, plus the Full Moon in Aquarius (July 29) for celebration, community, and hope for the future once Mercury is moving forward again. I share simple ritual ideas like spending time near water, especially at night, and I call out supportive touchstones like moonstone and labradorite. I also pull oracle cards from the Arcana Folia deck, with themes like changing your mindset, zooming in on what you’re missing, not letting fear drive, and trusting a gentle plot twist that leads to gradual success.

I also talk coven life, symbols as our monthly theme, why audiobook listeners are absolutely readers, and how to protect your mental health by being mindful with news and social media. If July feels heavy, you’re not alone, and you’re not behind. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs tenderness, and leave a review with your ideal July plot twist.

We begin with a blue full moon in Sagittarius is pure forward-motion energy: what goal still matters, what needs a spark, and where can you add fire without burning yourself out. From there we move into the June new moon in Gemini and talk practical magic you can use right now like clearer communication, starting a writing project, drafting the tough email, and preparing for a conversation you’ve been avoiding.

Then the tone turns inward with a guided Akashic Records reading for June that keeps repeating one message: slow down, get quiet, and trust what’s happening here and now. We talk about nervous system fatigue from the news cycle, the pressure of the collective, and how authenticity gets blurry when so much of life is filtered through screens, algorithms, and now AI. If you’ve been wondering about AI in witchcraft, AI tarot, or “spiritual” AI mentoring, you’ll hear why we think every witch needs their own rules, values, and boundaries.

Subscribe now



We also pull June cards that point to momentum, long-term decisions, and self-trust, and we share updates on Divergent Witchcraft plus the journaling concept of a Book of Light. Finally, we step up on the soapbox to call out WitchTok gatekeeping, especially the toxic claim that you can’t be a “real witch” if you’re poor or not thin, and we reframe abundance as love, health, community, and joy, not just money.

We’re a week out from the May 31 full moon, and I’m using this cozy Coven’Chat to talk about what “bring the fire” can look like in real life: candle spell energy, transmutation, passion, and the kind of embodied movement that gets you back into your body. I also circle back to Beltane, because a ritual isn’t just a moment, it’s an arc, and sometimes the most powerful magic is simply returning to what you set in motion and closing the loop with care.

Then I share a few life updates, including co-hosting Belief Being And Beyond with Granddaughter Crow, where we keep coming back to belief, joy, and what lies beyond. From there we pull the card 701 from Mystic Michaela’s Angel Numbers deck, “Angelic Company”, and sit with the message that you are being protected. I offer a question I return to when my nervous system is braced: if I knew I was fully protected and everything would go well, what would I do differently? I also talk about asking for signs, believing them when they arrive, and why my ladybug story still feels like a living conversation with support.

The heart of the episode is the final chapter of my book Divergent Witchcraft: overcoming overwhelm. We talk frankly about how overwhelm can come from sound, light, information, social media, and a world that never slows down, and how many of us freeze rather than fight or flee. I share practical tools that reduce overwhelm without shame: checking sources so bad witchcraft info doesn’t spiral you, meditation and journaling as nervous system support, plus a spell to release overwhelm when you’re stuck in that couch marshmallow mode.

We start with a Cozy Coven Chat vibe and a Gemini season shift, then pull angel number 777 from the Angel Numbers deck as a direct message: face fear, trust the divine, and release the need to control what happens next. I also share a simple meditation posture tip using your hands to signal receiving or grounding, because spiritual work is not just a belief system, it is also a body practice.

From there, we get real about what it means to come of age during turbulent times and why collective fear feels so intense right now. I talk through the kind of heart-to-heart conversations many parents are having and why shadow work keeps returning until we choose to meet it. Trust, to me, is one of the closest feelings to “holy” we can access, but it is not easy or automatic. It is a practice, and it often begins by admitting what you are afraid of without letting that fear run your life.

Then we shift into practical witchcraft: spellcrafting for beginners, neurodivergent witches, and anyone who has ever wondered, “Am I allowed to do this?” I break down a clear structure for creating your own spells with a pre-spell ritual, a strong spell format, and an after-spell ritual that includes the mundane steps that make magic stick. We also tackle common questions like whether you can be a witch without doing spells and what to do with spell remains in a sustainable, responsible way.

This week we’re working with the New Moon in Taurus and the steady, practical energy it offers: begin what you want to finish. That can look mystical and simple at the same time, like lighting a candle for your goal and also doing the tangible thing that moves it forward, naming the business, buying the domain, drafting the first line, opening the savings account, or starting the passport process.

We also pull an angel numbers message, 144 “connect,” and talk about meditation as an act of listening. Instead of pushing for signs, we make space for guidance by tuning in through the crown chakra and letting wisdom meet us in the quiet. If your manifestations have been floating around since spring but still don’t feel embodied, Taurus season is an invitation to ground them into routines, choices, and real commitments.

From there, we return to Divergent Witchcraft and the “Building Your Craft” idea: once you have a foundation, your path opens up into a choose-your-own-adventure. We reflect on allies like plants, crystals, animals, angels, tarot, and movement practices, plus how your environment and curiosity can shift what feels possible. I also share how magic becomes richer when it’s woven into everyday life, from kitchen witchcraft to sewing, crochet, and even blending Qi Gong with spellwork.

We start with a card pull that’s oddly specific, then follow it into the real work of relationship magic, not just romance, but self-trust, friendship maintenance, family check-ins, and the way Beltane season asks us to nurture what we want to grow. I also share a simple, surprisingly powerful practice you can do anywhere: a self-hug as grounding, especially if you get overwhelmed, feel untethered, or live with neurodivergence.

For More on my Adventure with photos:

My Reflection


I share about a first-time milestone I didn’t expect to be so emotional: traveling alone and staying in a hotel solo for the first time at almost 44, all to attend Spirit Northwest in Portland. I talk honestly about insomnia, ADHD-style sleep patterns, city disorientation, and the nerves of walking into a big pagan and witchy conference where you mostly know people from online spaces. Framed like a hero’s journey, the trip becomes a quest for belonging and validation I didn’t realize I needed.

I take you through the best moments: opening rituals, a Hathor-themed rebirth experience, teaching my class on crafting your own spells and rituals (and the relief of seeing people actually show up), plus standout sessions on elemental magic, psychic sleuthing, qi gong for grounding, hummingbird magic blended with culture and science, and Slavic fortune-telling that connects surprising threads across traditions. If you’re into witchcraft, pagan community, spell crafting, correspondences, ritual design, and real-world magical friendships, this one’s for you.

And a Merry Unbirthday to you! Your birthday is not “just another day” to get through. We treat it as a solar return, a rare reset point where your personal astrology loops back to the beginning, making it prime time for intention setting, spellwork, and a little fearless self-celebration. If you’ve ever let your birthday slide by without honoring yourself, we offer a simple fix: save the birthday candle and turn it into a ritual tool when you have time, so the magic still lands.

Then we jump into Beltane energy at full volume: pleasure, flowers, creativity, and the kind of play that actually restores you. With a Scorpio full moon arriving at the same time, the vibe gets extra witchy, intense, and unapologetic. We talk practical Beltane ritual ideas you can do with kids or on your own, why dancing counts as real magic, and how your body can be part of your spiritual practice instead of something you have to manage or deny.

A tarot pull, the Eight of Wands, ties it together with one message: communicate clearly and do it now. We explore what you’re holding back, how direct words can transform a stuck situation, and why being more yourself is worth the nerves. We also go deep on moon magic and lunar cycles, including a more inclusive set of moon phase archetypes: Wild One, Warrior, Nurturer, and Elder, plus how to track moon phases alongside sleep, mood, and daily life.

I share why the days leading up to my birthday can feel like a full-on skin shed, then why the rest of the season brings me back to confidence, glow, and steady energy.

Our tarot pull is the Two of Swords, and it lands like a gentle challenge: are you spending enough time alone with your own thoughts, or are you trapped in your head and spiraling. We talk boundaries in a totally connected world, what it looks like to protect your focus, and how news and social media can hijack your nervous system before your feet even hit the floor. Taurus season gives us a practical fix: feed your senses on purpose so your intuition can breathe.

Then we go deep on spiritual protection and casting a circle, including why so many Ouija board stories end badly when people dabble without protection or a closing practice. I walk through common signs your energy is too open, why empaths and tarot readers need consistent psychic protection, and simple options you can actually use daily: evil eye jewelry, talismans, protective crystals like obsidian or tourmaline, black salt, prayer, and calling on Archangel Michael. The biggest takeaway is simple and powerful: cleanse first, then protect.

This week’s Cozy Coven chat leans into the Aries new moon on April 17, a fire-sign reset that nudges us out of winter sluggishness and back into movement. I share a simple new moon candle magic practice to invite fresh momentum, clear obstacles, and light that inner flame again, especially if you have felt like you are treading through sand.

We also pull the Ace of Cups from the Magical Hours Tarot, and it lands perfectly with the lunar theme: emotional beginnings, heart healing, and the brave act of asking yourself how you really feel. I talk about why this card matters for intuition, self-care, and making choices that actually nourish you, not just choices that look good on paper. If you love tarot, astrology, or modern witchcraft, this pairing of Aries fire and Cup energy is a powerful way to set intentions that stick.

Then we zoom out into divergent witchcraft basics that too many people skip: the elements. Earth, air, fire, water, and spirit show up everywhere, from calling quarters and casting a circle to the pentacle, tarot suits, seasonal magic, and spell correspondences. I share different ways practitioners place elements in the compass directions, why you do not need deity devotion to do strong magic, and how elemental work can make protection less draining by connecting you to a larger current of energy.

You’re allowed to celebrate what you actually celebrate. We start with a real world, guilt free take on Easter and Ostara, including why so many spring symbols overlap, how folk magic has long lived alongside Catholic and Christian traditions, and how to make any holiday feel witchy without forcing yourself into someone else’s rules. If you want to dye eggs with sigils, bless your sweets, or just honor the season between Ostara and Beltane, do it!

From there, we move into spring as “go time,” Our Coven’s theme of Bloom, and the idea that blooming is a rite of passage you can choose on purpose. I share what’s coming up for me, including teaching in person again and heading to Spirit Northwest in Portland, plus all the nerves and excitement that come with traveling alone and stepping into a new chapter. If you’ve got conference tips, I’m listening.

We pull the King of Wands from the Magical Hours Tarot and talk Aries season energy, vision, and how to actually get things done without tipping into burnout or ego. Then we dive into altars as the heart of the home, with practical altar ideas for small spaces, broom closeted witches, and anyone tired of “perfect” social media setups. We close with a quick but important reality check on divine feminine healing, how to spot red flags online, and why balanced inner energy matters for every gender.

We lean into that exact sensation through the lens of the Hanged One embracing the chrysalis as an active, creative pause then ride the Libra full moon’s beam to locate what’s out of balance and how to expand with grace. It’s an invitation to slow the spin, reframe what change means, and choose beauty that actually works in real life.

We walk through how perspective shifts don’t require drama to be deep. Sometimes it’s a new vantage point a conversation, a hilltop, a down dog other times it’s a different question that unlocks a stuck belief. From there, the Libra full moon becomes a practical tool: balance as rhythm, not perfection. We map where to add more of what feeds you and where to release weight you no longer need, so expansion feels aligned rather than chaotic.

To ground all of this, we get specific about journaling as both a clarity practice and a legacy of light. Whether you prefer pen and paper, a notes app, or quick voice memos, the page is where scattered thoughts turn into patterns and next steps.

We lean into spring’s bright stretch of days with the King of Pentacles: steady, generous, and very Taurus-coded then trace how that grounded energy becomes a practical plan for real life. From equinox afterglow to the nuts and bolts of staying in flow, this conversation centers stability you can feel: clear rituals, calm nervous systems, and choices that honor attention as a sacred resource.

I open up about Divergent Witchcraft, my upcoming book with Weiser Books, and why I wrote it for witches who learn and sense differently ADHD, autism, anxiety, trauma, and the many ways our brains differ. We talk credentials, classrooms, and years of adapting tools for students with diverse needs, then map those adaptations onto meditation: shorter sits, guided options, bead counting, walking meditations, and realistic routines you can actually keep. We also go straight at the labels Wicca, new age, astrology, chakras and make peace with the blend most of us already practice.

We open a door from rumination to renewal by pairing a Pisces new moon release with the clarity of the spring equinox and the bold spark of Aries season. The Five of Cups sets our theme: acknowledge what spilled, then choose what still fills your cup. From there, we get practical. I share simple rituals for the equinox.

We widen the frame to real life: spring cleaning linked with energy cleansing, family walks to spot early buds, and kid-friendly nature altars. Then we map a whole self check across mind, heart, body, and spirit therapy touch points, scheduled friend calls, gentle movement to undo winter stiffness, and a refresh for spiritual routines that have gone stale. If your daily card pull feels flat, we offer ways to bring back meaning through timing shifts, new tools, or playful novelty.

With Mercury moving forward and Aries urging motion, we choose one clear step toward a year we design on purpose. Picture your December self work backwards towards what you want.

We open with the Judgment card as a guiding image truth sounding like a trumpet, endings composting into beginnings and trace how to answer a calling without turning every sacred thing into content. I share why calling and career are not synonyms, how to keep parts of your practice private, and what it looks like to live your purpose through presence, listening, and steady care.

From there, we move into the real-world weight of the news cycle and why “observe, don’t absorb” can be a lifesaver for sensitive, thoughtful people. We talk about building a communal container for hard conversations, creating a resistance circle that allows grief and anger to move, and choosing media intentionally so you’re informed without drowning. Along the way, we name the systems that shape our days—patriarchy, beauty myths, the dismissal of intuition—and offer shadow work that’s honest and humane. You’ll hear practical steps to rebalance reason with inner knowing, question narrow standards of worth, and notice where bias hides in plain sight.

Hope needs practice, so we also lean into spring. Think plant allies, eggs in a nest, daffodils on the table, long walks on warm days, books and films that feed the soul, and music that softens the nervous system.

We introduce Divergent Witchcraft—a welcoming, modern approach that centers healing, self‑acceptance, and practical ritual—so you can build a practice that fits your brain, your life, and your values.

I share why “divergent” speaks to anyone who deviates from the standard and how that lens opens witchcraft to folks with religious trauma, skeptics who prefer a secular path, and seasoned practitioners tired of rigid rules.

We lean into transformation without theatrics, trading all-or-nothing purges for skilled, compassionate cleansing that keeps the goodness while clearing the grit.

I walk you through a simple seasonal flow you can repeat each month: a gratitude-first journal to anchor the wins, a release list to name the drag, and a threshold sweep that resets your entryway and your energy. From smoke-free selenite passes to safe herbal smoke with mugwort or rosemary, you’ll get practical tools for home and body. I also unpack the difference between cleaning and energetic cleansing so you don’t wipe out house spirit, luck, or momentum. If you work with tarot, you’ll hear clear prompts—where do I need cleansing, where am I ready to release—and tips on pulling multiple cards to read the full story instead of a single headline.

I share the simple steps that keep chaos at bay—backups, double checks, slow messages—and then zoom out to the larger rhythm of the season as we move from February’s dreamwork into March’s call to emerge.

Together we map the places where timing slips—deadlines, appointments, and assumptions about how much runway remains—and trade panic for presence. The telescope on the card points to the moon, but it might as well point to your calendar. From there we ground into practices that actually help: self care as protest for those pushed to the margins, small rituals that restore attention, and seasonal choices that bring ease. Gardening becomes both metaphor and plan. I talk about winter sowing, trusting seeds, what thrives in my yard, and how a fallen evergreen turned into an opportunity for manzanita or hawthorn to feed cedar waxwings. We consider a dwarf pear tree, saving an ailing apple, and finding joy in apple butter, peaches, and cut flowers that mark the turning year.

Community Supported Agriculture gets a big spotlight.

]]><![CDATA[Boundaries And Sweetness]]>https://jennycbell.substack.com/p/boundaries-and-sweetnesshttps://jennycbell.substack.com/p/boundaries-and-sweetnessSun, 15 Feb 2026 15:36:10 GMTBreakthrough energy is humming, and not the loud kind. A new moon solar eclipse in Aquarius is shaking loose stale patterns and shining a bright light on individuality, clarity, and the boundaries that protect a sweeter life. We start with a card pull—Sweetness from Arcana Folia—and follow the thread into how firm, loving limits make space for ease, presence, and genuine joy. Instead of forcing manifestations, we offer an eclipse‑safe approach: listen more than push, journal more than plan, and let what’s ready to leave, leave.

Aquarius brings invention and a nudge to do your own thing, while winter continues to surface shadow material that needs care. We share practical ways to meet that wave: simple journaling prompts that turn fog into language, deeper card spreads to name fears, and quiet rituals that keep your nervous system steady. Then we ride the shift into Pisces season with dreamwork, a focus on intuitive practice, and a reminder that rest is not laziness, it’s fuel. Along the way, we trade playlists for full albums, light a candle, take phone‑free walks, and romanticize the small moments that make ordinary days feel enchanted.

Think of this conversation as a warm room during a blustery forecast: you’ll leave with boundary scripts, reflective questions, and cozy practices to anchor you through eclipse season. Press play, breathe deeper, and tell us—where will you set one kind boundary this week? If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find their way here.

]]><![CDATA[Self-Care As Resistance In Anxious Times]]>https://jennycbell.substack.com/p/self-care-as-resistance-in-anxioushttps://jennycbell.substack.com/p/self-care-as-resistance-in-anxiousSun, 08 Feb 2026 16:33:59 GMTWe name the collective unease, then build a gentle plan to hold steady: practice self-care as resistance, clear intuition, and small rituals that restore joy without ignoring the world’s weight.

We start with the week’s oracle pull—a tiny mouse that signals subtle warning and asks us to trust first impressions. From there, we navigate how to protect our attention, set humane boundaries, and stay grounded in kindness. We share what hope looks like on ordinary days: seeds on the altar waiting for rain, snacks and laughter during the game, and a simple Friday the 13th ritual that honors Freya’s many facets and Venus’s call to self-love. Along the way, we explore February’s tricky astrology and why naming one real reason to believe each day strengthens the “hope muscle.”

Community threads run through everything. For those craving hands-on learning, I chat about Spirit Northwest in Portland, where I’ll teach building effective, ethical spells from correspondences to ritual structure. I also talk honestly about influencing, how creators balance integrity and income, and simple tactics for mindful consumption—like the 24-hour cart rule and the magic of Little Free Libraries.
