Crone by Design - A Dash of Everything

Crone by Design - A Dash of Everything is a podcast that is centered on furthering the discussion on topics that mainstream media might deem taboo or lacking in education around. I approach the topic with an open mind and research to help people have a better understanding and to bring up these subjects in real-life conversations. Such as menstruation, menopause, miscarriages, witchy topics, and other controversial or not as-talked-about topics. My goal is to provide access for people who are willing to learn more about topics to help create a safer, inclusive, and respectful community.

Open and Closed Practices in Spirituality

History of Victory Gardens

This week we are diving into the history of victory gardens.  This subject came to me during the middle of COVID-19.  I’ve had family and I have kept gardens before COVID-19, and it was interesting to see the burst of new people coming onto the gardening scene.  Which had some perplexing similarities to the history of victory gardens in a disconnected way.  So we are going back to the time of victory gardens, especially during World War I and II.  You might just get the garden bug yourself.

Miscarriages

This week we are diving into understanding Miscarriage.  To start us on the right foot and to give a content warning, Miscarriage is much more common than people know or talk about.  This is a heavy topic to navigate as there is much unnecessary taboo and shame placed on individuals.  Especially when it happens much more than it is educated to individuals on, we will navigate an overview of what a miscarriage is, common symptoms, busting myths, risk factors, prevention, and more.

This week we are diving into some simple ways of practicing protection magic. We explain what protection magic is and why people might use it as well as how you could incorporate it into your own life and practice. As always all of my episode topics are on a take-it-or-leave-it basis. Everyone is entitled to their own practice making it unique to them. This episode is just to help those who might need a little protection from outsiders, family, energies, and more. Even a person’s own negative thoughts and energy can influence their magic!

Crone by Design - A Dash of Everything
Crone by Design - A Dash of Everything is a podcast that is centered on furthering the discussion on topics that mainstream media might deem taboo or lacking in education around. I approach the topic with an open mind and research to help people have a better understanding and to bring up these subjects in real-life conversations. Such as menstruation, menopause, miscarriages, witchy topics, and other controversial or not as-talked-about topics. My goal is to provide access for people who are willing to learn more about topics to help create a safer, inclusive, and respectful community.
