  • 95: Season of the Winter Witch with Byron Ballard
    Dec 28 2024

    Laylla and Chelle sit down with Appalachian witch and priestess Byron Ballard to discuss the aftermath of Storm Helene and how her community is finding resilience in its wake. Byron shares the vital role her Mother Grove Goddess Temple played in helping neighbors recover, offering practical support and spiritual guidance in challenging times.

    The conversation flows into the spirits of the land and the Goddess in winter, exploring how the season of stillness and reflection can deepen our connection to the natural world and the sacred cycles of life. Byron’s wisdom as a caretaker of land-based spirituality shines as she discusses honoring the land and its energy during the dark half of the year.

    They also chat about Byron’s upcoming book, A Feral Church, set to release on January 8th. Byron offers a sneak peek into her exploration of what it means to create a sacred community that thrives outside of traditional structures, inspiring witches and pagans to rethink how they gather and practice.

    Join Laylla, Chelle, and Byron for a thoughtful discussion filled with wisdom, hope, and the power of community

I love these girls!

This podcast really speaks to me as somebody who has also recently got back on the broomstick myself! It’s a relaxed podcast with the kind of open minded and understanding nature of what works for the individual rather than a set of rules to follow. As long as your intent is there which is refreshing after the rigid rules I followed in my newbie days!! It also made me realise that although I did back away from my craft for many years, my intent was always there, my magic working quietly in the background! Great work ladies, loving the show! A menopausal Guernsey witch from the UK!
