November Witchcraft
Ivy, Winter Witchcraft & The Discipline Spell
In this month’s November Witchcraft episode, we wander into the winding, enchanted world of ivy — a plant steeped in folklore, protection magic, and ancient symbolism. We explore its historical associations, its role as a guardian of thresholds and the many ways witches can weave ivy into their craft with intention and safety.
From there, we move into the heart of herbal magic, looking at how to use herb blends in spellwork, ritual, energy cleansing, and winter-focused practices.
Next we descend into the witch’s winter arc, exploring why the darker months naturally call us into commitment, devotion and inner alchemy. We discuss the role of discipline as a spell, and how neuroplasticity supports your magical practice. We take a closer look at the anterior mid-cingulate cortex — a brain region connected to motivation, persistence, emotional regulation and the ability to choose discomfort for long-term transformation — revealing how science supports what witches have always known -
Winter is for recalibration, rewiring, and rising.
We finish the episode with a Ritual for Sacred Discipline, crafted to help you anchor devotion, strengthen your energetic sovereignty, and align your daily life with the witch you are becoming.

NOVEMBER ON PATREON – THE WITCH & THE ANGELIC REALM
After the deep descent of Samhain, November arrives like a breath of light. This month we turn our gaze upward toward the radiant realms of the Angels.
Angels are not bound by religion. They are frequencies of divine intelligence — messengers of light, guardians of the heart, and allies in both healing and manifestation. Their presence reminds us that even in darkness, light is always near.
Throughout November, we will be working with the Angelic Current — inviting clarity, protection and peace into our energy fields as we prepare for winter’s stillness. Expect soft golds, feathers, candlelight and celestial calm as we weave witchcraft with higher guidance.
This is a month of softening, listening, and remembering that you are always held in light. Let the angels speak through your intuition, your dreams, and your everyday magic.
This month includes –
A deep exploration of the Angelic Realm and how witches can work with angels outside of dogma
Guided meditation to meet your Guardian Angel
Magick and teachings on the seven Archangels
Journal prompts to discover your guiding angel
Angelic healing practices for aura cleansing and energy renewal
A ritual for Angelic Manifestation and opening to miracles
A tarot spread for divine guidance
A soft celestial-inspired printable poster for your altar or journal
By the end of November, you will have –
A clear understanding of angelic energies and how to work with them as a witch
A strengthened connection with your Guardian Angel
Practices for angelic healing, protection and peace
Tools for divine manifestation and intuitive guidance
A deeper sense of being supported, guided and held as winter approaches
