• Samhain Explained: History, Rituals, and the Real Meaning of the Thinning Veil

• Mundane Magic: Thresholds, Transitions, and the Energy of In-Between Spaces

  What if the most magical parts of your home were the ones you usually overlook? In this episode of our Mundane Magic series, we’re diving into the hallways, closets, basements, guest rooms, and other “in-between” spaces that tend to collect clutter. These thresholds aren’t just storage zones, they’re energetic portals where you can ground, cleanse, and invite fresh flow into your daily life. You’ll learn simple, practical ways to work magic in these areas, from crystals like selenite and hematite, to cobweb-clearing rituals for mental clarity, to a kid-friendly nightmare-banishing spray. We also talk about how home repairs, seasonal cleanouts, and even that overflowing coat closet can become intentional acts of energy work. Pre-order Molly’s book Mundane Magic A Lazy Witch's Guide to Hacking Your Brain, Building a Daily Practice, and Getting Stuff Done⁠Preorder Mundane Magic & Join the Virtual Book Tour⁠⁠: Celebrate the release of Molly's new book with an exclusive online event on Feb 21, 12 PM EST.
