Hi WitchesThis episode starts off with a book review for The Sin Eater written by Megan Campisi - a witchy fiction book and we delve into the historical Sin Eater tradition. We also have the wonderful Kirsty on the podcast today who is the creator of Mindfully Crafted which blends her lifelong passion for craft with a keen interest in mindfulness practices. Inspired by folklore and the stories our ancestors would have shared while stitching together; among the kits you'll find selkies, deities and symbolism connecting us to the divine feminine. Each kit contains an affirmation to work with as you stitch to help infuse your mindful intention into your art. Unlike traditional embroidery patterns, the focus is not in perfecting the image but in embracing mistakes making the experience an act of self-love and compassion. Just like so many practices within witchcraft stitchcraft is alchemy. Its our way as witches of taking the ordinary and making it magickal.Traditional Spell of Nine KnotsBy knot of one, the spells begunBy knot of two, it cometh trueBy knot of three, thus shall it beBy knot of four, 'tis strengthened moreBy knot of five, so may it thriveBy knot of six, the spell we fix,By knot of seven, the stars of heavenBy knot of eight, the hand of fateBy knot of nine, the thing is mineFind Kirsty over on Instagram - @mindfullycraftedEtsy - https://www.etsy.com/shop/mindfullycraftedkitsEmail - sewmindfullycrafted@gmail.comFind Kirstys podcast here - https://open.spotify.com/show/4lHPTOICgDfVS3pOp7YjVs?si=2525aef6a74a45d1Books I reference in our chat regarding the poppets are Entering Hekate's Garden by Cyndi Brannen and Wellness Magick by Sophie L Robinson Please join me in supporting creative beautiful small witchy businesses this Yule but through the rest of the year - these business owners do happy dances when we make a purchase, not like our big conglomerates.
