In today’s episode we descend beneath the tides to explore the world of mermaids — their folklore, symbolism and the magic that surrounds them.

This episode also ties into my current Sea Witch work and upcoming Litha zine The Book of Tides, where we explore mermaids, selkies, water magic, sea folklore and the many sacred forms of magical water used within witchcraft and folk practice.

Over on Patreon this month we descend beneath the tides with our new theme - Sea Witch.

Throughout May we will be exploring the magic of the sea through guided meditation, folklore, plant magic, ritual, glamour, tides and oceanic witchcraft. Together we will journey into the liminal space between shore and sea, working with the subconscious, emotional alchemy and the deep, magnetic energy of the ocean.

This month includes a guided meditation journey beneath the waves, sea plant lore exploring kelp and bladderwrack, a deep dive podcast episode on sea witchcraft and a Sea Witch Glamour & Power ritual focused on embodiment, magnetism, beauty and feminine ocean energy.

In this month’s Circle on Thursday 28th May from 7pm within the Witches Who Run With the Wolves tier, we gather beside the tides to reclaim the lost skin of the self.

Together we will journey through a guided selkie meditation of remembrance and return — a journey into the deep waters of intuition, identity, longing, and reclamation.

This circle may stir themes of reclaiming hidden parts of yourself, releasing old identities, reconnecting with intuition, and remembering who you were before survival became your shape.

The circle will include a guided selkie meditation, journal prompts, tarot and oracle reflection. I will pull cards for the collective circle, and you are very welcome to bring your own tarot or oracle cards to pull for yourself during the evening.

A Zoom link will be posted on the morning of the circle and a replay will be available the following day for those unable to attend live.

This gathering is available through the Witches Who Run With the Wolves tier on Patreon.
