She's an eclectic/intuitive pagan witch whose life goals include empowering other witches and encouraging them to use intuition in their witchcraft.
She has also published passages in Mastering Magick, The Witches' Companion, Witchology, Green Egg, The Witches' Calendar, The Witch's Almanac, and several other periodicals and books. Sometimes, she blogs as Starlight Witch on Patheos.
When she's not co-leading the Aurora Fire dance group, she presents workshops and rituals at festivals across the country.

Quantum jumping is a concept based on the idea that by altering your thoughts, beliefs, and perceptions, you can shift to a parallel reality or alternate version of yourself where your desired outcomes are realized.
If you are a witch already using magick to change your reality, you might be interested in an advanced method of making significant personal transformation or shifts in your mindset.
The term "quantum jumping" borrows from quantum mechanics, a branch of physics that deals with the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales, where things can behave in seemingly counterintuitive ways.
Incorporating quantum jumping into your magickal practice involves using magickal tools, rituals, symbols from your magickal tradition to amplify your personal growth.
This is what I call “BIG MAGICK!” In order to create major change in your life, one spell will not be enough. You may have one overarching goal, such as buying a house, but it’s very possible that you’ll need more than one spell, and more than one moon cycle.
Take buying a house. Buying a house will require that you set many intentions - larger and smaller - over a period of time. You may need to raise money. You may need to clean up your credit. You may need to search for the right and perfect house. And throughout this process, you may need to improve your mindset so that you feel worthy of this intention. And you’ll need to keep your motivation going when things get tough.
Some witches may think that these things can only be dealt with on the mundane side, but all of these steps can be made smoother with the help of magickal tools.
This is where Big Magick comes in. Big Magick is the process a witch can use to change their life. From creating a Vision Book of Shadows to working with archetypes to activating a portal that speeds up your journey to manifestation, there is so much metaphysical help available.
In this episode, I talk a bit about my own journey with Big Magick, and offer some ideas on how you can get started.

For Earth Day, I’m excited to teach practical elemental magick!
It’s impossible to talk about magick without also talking about the natural elements of Earth, Air, Fire and Water.
The earth is beneath us, and provides stability and nourishment. We inhale and exhale air, and require it to live. Fire gives us heat, and cooks our food. We also require water, and our bodies are made up of over 60% of it.
Rituals incorporate these natural elements because everything in the Universe is made up of a combination of them. When we place natural elements on our altar, they act as batteries to power our spell.
Depending on your desired outcome, you can use the power of the elements to reinforce your spell, as well as your personal power.
By the way, all of the elements of nature are contained within the human body, which makes YOU inherently magickal. Always remember that!
I think everyone has one or two elements that they feel a particular affinity to. When you know what they are, you can incorporate them into your spells, and most definitely your self-care rituals.
One way that you can personalize your spellcrafting is to take into consideration the elements involved in your desired outcome, and I’m excited to share that in this episode!

When you are/were starting out with magick, you might read books, take classes, or scroll IG or TikTok for ideas.
You learn how certain herbs work better than others for you. You may prefer to use a particular element (fire magick, anyone?), or have a certain kind of way that you speak or pray over your work. Perhaps you have particular magickal traditions from your family, or your upbringing or other spiritual teachings that you have learned over the years.
You may find yourself fascinated with Tarot. Or perhaps fall in love with the moon and her phases. Or you may dedicate your work to your ancestors. Or some combination of the above.
The thing is, the more you learn, and the more you do, you naturally start experimenting with different things.
When you find your own way of making magick, THAT is when it becomes meaningful. THAT is when it becomes powerful.
THAT is your Spellcraft Blueprint.
When I was a young witch, I would have never imagined that playing with crayons or meeting my “Future You” was magickal! But my Magickal YOU coven uses these tools to manifest all kinds of desires from new jobs, to lovers, to amazing travel. Who knew

Ostara is a modern Pagan and Wiccan holiday that celebrates the spring equinox, which usually falls around March 20th or 21st in the Northern Hemisphere. It marks the midpoint between the winter solstice and the summer solstice.
One of the eight Sabbats observed in the Wheel of the Year, Ostara is celebrated by various modern Pagan and Wiccan communities around the world as a time of joy, hope, and renewal.
This year, the Spring Equinox falls on Tuesday, March 19th, a couple of days from now.
Ostara is named after the Germanic goddess Eostre or Ostara, who represents fertility, renewal, dawn, and spring. She was said to be associated with the dawn and the awakening of life in nature after the long winter months.
Tune in to learn more about the Spring Equinox, and other holidays celebrated at this time of year.

Yule has its origins in ancient Norse and Germanic pagan celebrations that marked the winter solstice, which marks the shortest day and longest night of the year. The Winter Solstice usually happens around December 21st. The ancient Norse believed that during this time, the sun was reborn, and the days would gradually lengthen. They enjoyed a twelve-day feast that celebrated the return of the sun.

Interview with Jamie Della, A Box of Magick | You Are The Spell Podcast
Get to know Hana O’Neill aka “The Suburban Witch” ✨
For this week’s “You Are The Spell” podcast, I’m excited to talk to Australian Witch Hana O’Neill from @suburban_witchery, and host of @witchtalkspodcast.
Hana’s goal is to make Witchcraft and alternative spirituality fun, informative and accessible to all. She runs a course on Psychic Divination, blogs about Witchcraft and Astrology with pop culture references to fandoms such as Disney.
She hosts the podcast ‘Witch Talks’ interviewing key Witches in the community, has a thriving YouTube channel with content from Spellcrafting, Tarot tutorials, Witchcraft basics and even details her own journey from Pentecostal Christian to proud Witch.
The days are getting shorter, the temperature is feeling cooler, and Starbucks is selling Pumpkin Spice Lattes again. You know that means, right?
That the Season of the Witch is approaching!
In today’s episode of “You Are The Spell”, I’m talking about Mabon, also known as the Autumn Equinox.
Mabon is a pagan holiday and one of the eight annual festivals celebrated within the Witches’ Wheel of the Year. It falls around September 21st or 22nd in the Northern Hemisphere and marks the point in the year when day and night are approximately equal in length, signifying the changing of the seasons from summer to autumn.
It’s a time to give thanks for the harvest and to honor the balance between light and darkness. It's a time to appreciate the fruits of the earth, reflect on the changing cycles of life, and prepare for the colder months ahead.
I’m hosting a free equinox ritual this Friday, Sept 22nd at 7pm ET. If you can’t make it live, the replay will be available. Sign up now at https://RedSoulflower.com/fall
For the past few months, I’d been feeling burned out spiritually. It’s not something I was advertising, but I had been feeling kinda run down.
In my usual Capricorn way, I tried to push through it. But as you know, pushing through is how we get burned out in the first place, and therefore, not the solution.
If you’re listening to this podcast, you’re also on some kind of spiritual journey, and you and I both know that it’s impossible to pour from an empty cup.
If I call myself a spiritual teacher, how can I teach if I’m feeling disconnected from Spirit? How can I teach something if I don’t believe it?
It took me a while, but I eventually found ways to pour back into myself.
Now that I’m feeling energized again, I decided to take a pause and talk about spiritual burnout, because I knew that I wasn’t the only one out there dealing with it.
So in today’s episode, we’ll explore the causes, and signs of spiritual burnout, and strategies to overcome it.
I hope that this episode can help you on your path.

Lammas, also known as Lughnasadh, is a traditional festival celebrated on August 1st (or thereabouts) in the Northern Hemisphere and February 1st in the Southern Hemisphere.
Lughnasadh is a pagan holiday associated with the god Lugh (Lú) in ancient Celtic mythology, and one of the eight Wiccan sabbats during the year.
The name "Lammas" is derived from the Old English term "hlafmaesse," which means "loaf mass" and emphasizes the importance of the first wheat harvest and offering loaves of bread to the church.
Lammas is one of the four Gaelic seasonal festivals of the Celtic calendar and marks the beginning of the harvest season. It is a cross-quarter day, falling halfway between the summer solstice (Litha) and the autumn equinox (Mabon).
Lammas is also known as Lughnasadh, (pronounced "LOO-nah-sa), a pagan holiday associated with the god Lugh (Lú) in ancient Celtic mythology, and one of the eight Wiccan sabbats during the year.
Over the last few episodes, I’ve focused on how to create your own personalized and powerful spells. In other words, magickal spells that only YOU could create!
Part 1 was about Alignment, which is the process of bringing your thoughts, feelings, and actions into harmony with the intentions of your spell.
In Part 2 I talked about the importance of the natural elements of Earth, Air, Fire and Water.
Part 3 was about Sympathetic magick, also known as imitative magick, which all magickal spells use at some point.
Part 4 I talked about how the body is a magick wand, and how your senses enhance your power
Part 5 was about magickal timing.
While these episodes gave a foundation of what spells incorporate, you may find yourself asking, “what do I do now??”
So for Part 6, the final episode in this spellcrafting series, is “Put It All Together”! How to use everything you’ve learned to create your own spells!
