Hey, y’all: I’m continuing to release old extra content from Patreon until I can podcast publicly again in October. This is one of my “porch talks” with Terrin from August 25th, 2022 wherein Terrin shares his protection spells and sigils. Good stuff!
Love y’all like chicken, Seba

This episode was originally released as Extra Content for Patreon members on 6.21/22. There’s an energetic flow under everything, and in this episode, Terrin calls it “witchifying” our daily energy flow. Love y’all like chicken!

Hey, y’all—it’s been a long time since I was able to release new content (except for on Patreon), but I wanted to keep this channel alive until after October. At that point, I’ll be free to share with y’all publicly again!
And so, in the meantime: I’m releasing old “extra content” from my Patreon. I’m starting with an episode from the way-back-machine, but then will share all eight extra content recordings with y’all!
Things have taken a massive shift since these recordings were made and all new extra content on my Patreon will now host only myself, Seba. I’m clearing out the dust and starting over—but first, join me for a little jaunt through the past? If you would like to hear more recent content during the wait for October, pop on over to https://www.patreon.com/southernfriedwitch and settle in. I’m not dead yet, lol.
Love y’all like chicken,

I'm still riding down old dirt roads, but lately, I've been running into me. As a little girl, I crafted safe little places to run when my world was crashing to the ground. It appears that they have waited for me, still beating and thumping somewhere in the summer of 1970-somethin.’

I've spent a lot of time, y'all, in my woods lately. As a child, the woods were my momma, the cradle that saved me from trauma, and they still know my name. Thought I'd share.
Love y'all like chicken,
Seba

Behold, my field of f***s, and find that it is barren . . . and ready for planting. Let's talk about planting seeds, doing so as part of the Craft, and the responsibility therein.

Hey y'all, I know I'm a little late this week. I'm at the precipice of making a huge choice and I reckon my heart just couldn't beat right for a few days. But I'm here, slinging mud off my bones. So, snuggle up on the porch and let’s chat about how contextualization is just as important as intent when thinking through our Craft. A possum comes in to play, but y’all expect that, right? Me, a Witch, in context as a Southerner—as always.
Also, y’all send good thoughts to us down here in Alabama. The folks in charge have lost their damn minds. I’m a Witch living in a Wannabe Gilead—and it’s only getting worse. Standing for my birthright as an Alabama Witch and doing what I can to fight for my neighbors, my DIL, and my grandbaby. Don’t forget us? We’re still here.

Hey, y’all. I’ve been thinking about focus lately and how much energy it takes to just stay in place. It turns out, I’ve been treading water. And I’m exhausted. So, I’ve been doing a little manifestation work—creating a path that doesn’t exist quite yet. It’s work, to come out of trauma. Where we land can be a place that we design as witches.

Hey, y’all. In a lot of ways, this is my “unsilencing of the lambs,” a love letter to Imbolc. Today’s episode is short, organic, and a bit of a ramble on the idea of a “blood and bone” impregnation, rather than fertilization. In my experience, the darkest nights of the season are also the time of the deepest growth—bony growth—of that which we have sown within ourselves.
Hope your Imbolc was wonderful and blessed,
Seba

Hey, y'all: I've dug deeply into this idea of witch shame. You know, that feeling that comes after a crafting doesn't work, or something horrible happens and you didn't/couldn't stop it. I also am currently standing in half ruins and wanted to chat with y'all about the critical nature of doing the repair work, rather than just walking away, from the things that matter to my little Witch heart.
So here y'all go--miss y'all. Getting better every day. xoxo Seba

Well, y’all: I wish I could say that everything is fine, but it’s really not. I’m still struggling to share what it’s like to go through trauma as a witch, and hopefully, that will resonate with someone out there. It’s incredibly difficult to practice my Craft right now, and so I’m letting myself go dormant. After all, the killing freeze is not over yet. And I hope to survive it.
Sharing my Freefunder is hard for me, as it means that I also automatically “out” myself under my government name. Please respect my boundaries on social media under that name and understand that I cannot—no matter how dire my situation is right now—”friend” everyone who would like to do so. I still have children to protect. Love y’all like chicken. And: I’m trying harder than y’all know. Seba

Well, y’all, by now you know that my world blew up a few months ago quite unexpectedly. Tonight, I am just leaning into the microphone to share how I’m walking through trauma as a Witch. When everything fell apart, I ran into the trees, and because of the bonds and covenants I have entered with the land spirits, the woods, my land, my ancestors, and my beautiful “Big Mama” (aka goddess), there was solace there. More than that, there is guidance and support. Tonight, I’m sharing the raw of my experience—so expect that. I promised, all of those years ago when I started this podcast, to tell you the truth. Sometimes, that’s a bloody mess.
And: don’t worry. I don’t know how to stay down. I’m one stubborn Aries Witch. Love y’all like chicken, Seba

This podcast episode hurt. If you noticed that I was gone for a month, this is why. I’m holding on, pushing through, railing at the sky and healing in increments. And I’m so sorry that it took this long to talk.
But here it is. It’s raw and all I have right now. I hope you’re still listening. Never give up.

Hey y’all. I’ve had an unexpected trauma, and the podcast host of Obscure Appalachia has been so kind as to record a mini episode to explain it for me. I’m struggling to get back on my feet, in every way that that means. Candis, the podcaster and Batchild listener, did indeed strong-arm me into letting everyone know what is happening. I’m so sorry, and I hope to make everyone quite proud of me as I try to stand back up.
Until then: thank you for the years of support and magic. Thank you for anyone who has sent love, chicken feed, and hope. I hope to be back soon. You will also find that, because of the depth and degree of this trauma, I am coming out of the broom closet. Please know that right now, I cannot friend anyone on FB and am still trying to protect my children in Alabama.
But it’s finally time and I have nothing left to lose. Love you like chicken, Seba

There aren’t words to express, y’all, what the little gathering in the woods of Alabama meant to all of us. We came from California, Washington, Virginia, Florida, Tennessee, and all the places in between. There wasn’t enough time. There will never be enough time, when Witches come together to heal under the moon.
Today, the porch is the woods. If you listen, you are bearing witness to what we found there.
Blessed Samhain. Seba

I've been haunted lately, y'all, by those ghosts of years gone by. Here's what I do about it: I try to work on me. I don't want my children, nor my friends, to feel encumbered by sorrow or blackened memories when I'm gone. And so, I work toward becoming (as we all are doing every day) their beloved dead.
Happy Samhain. I'll see y'all on the other side--of this week. xoxo

Hey, y’all: I’ve talked a lot about the path of least resistance before as it pertains to nature and the Craft. But, sometimes, we need to “jump a track,” so to speak, rather than just going with the flow. Let’s talk about the momentum needed to do just such a thing, but also how I have utilized “backward design” in my own path to aid in that endeavor.

Hey, y’all! I’ve been thinking about what we do with ashes, whether they be from spells, rituals, home fires, or garden burns. It’s just incredibly important to consider what created our ash and how to dispose of it in ways that are both magical and responsible to the environment. Today, I’m running through some of these moments with y’all: and it gets a bit scientific and teachy. Along the way, we also will cover closed loop systems and how they can utilize ash—as well as why they are critical to Witch Folk. Hope you find it helpful! Love y’all like chicken.

Episode Notes:
There is a mistake in this podcast: while dent corn does have a little toothy dent and technically can be eaten before its ripe, it is used more for making ethanol, in the production of sweeteners, and feeding livestock. That being stated: I’ve known folks to eat it in a pinch. It, nor the flint variety, should be confused with Sweet Corn.

Hey, y’all: I’m on my way back to health and wanted to share with y’all a Witch’s Duh moment wherein I simply forgot to call my energy back home for some time. As sick as I’ve been for nearly a month, it was a no-brainer to do so—but life got away from me, and I became a drained battery. Also, I’m answering the listener letters that are focused on the fear of casting, lest we might hurt someone/something. Let’s dig into that a little?
Welcome back to the porch. I’ve almost got my broom set aright. :)
