The Witch's Journal

As the Autumn Equinox approaches in Australia, Angela reflects on seasonal change, memory, and the quiet rituals that help us move from one chapter into the next. Beginning with a story about a beloved pair of Doc Martens worn for nearly four decades, this episode explores the idea of accidental talismans… the objects, places, and practices that ground us without us ever planning it. A gentle conversation about Southern Hemisphere witchcraft, honouring the turning season, and recognising what continues to carry us forward.

When people think of witchcraft, they usually imagine black clothes, pointed hats and something a bit dark or dramatic, This episode goes somewhere else. I talk about witchcraft as self-care, how intention, attention and every day moments can become quietly magical. I also talk about, spells, my body, cake, animals laughter and a reminder that caring for yourself doesn't have to be another thing to get right. A relaxed and honest chat for the curious.

This is my very first episode, so I thought I’d start by talking a little about me and how I see the world. I share what witchcraft means to me, why I’ve been called a witch for most of my life, and how intention, intuition, and everyday practice shape the way I live. I also talk about practising witchcraft in Australia, working with the seasons and the moon here, and why I wanted to create a podcast that feels grounded, familiar, and close to home.
