In episode 99 of the Magick & Alchemy podcast, hosts Kate Belew and Kristin Lisenby reflect on some signs of spring. Inspired by Ostara and a season of renewal, they discuss the chalice and the cauldron, and what’s collected or brewed in these sacred vessels. They talk about rain, rhythmic tides, and purification rites. They also share some moon stories, including ‘The Bamboo Cutter and the Moon Princess,’ and consider the moon as a shapeshifter, a cosmic bow, and a sanctuary.
