Awww, hearing you two together is like coming home for me. Loving all the talk of making rituals our own…it keeps me from getting bogged with the mindset “am I doing this right?” Instead I just tune into my heart and feel it with my being. Not sure why I always need permission to do this, but it so helps. Thank you ladies🙌🏻

It’s so much fun for us to record together!

And isn’t the permission thing funny? Human psychology is a wild ride.

I loved this so much! I loved the original post and was so glad for the reminder. Your explanation of why it fits for you when traditional "witchy" things don't was so spot on for me as well. All the traditional how-to witch books just don't do it for me but connecting with nature and the elements around me in my own space definitely does. I love your writing and in so excited to see more in this space!

I'm so glad this resonated Tara! I love finding ways to create rituals that really reflect our individual belief systems (or lack of systems!).

You all are so great. Thanks for being here and listening. I'm not new to asking Maia a bazillion questions, but I AM new to doing it in a way that will be interesting to other people... so send me your questions and things you've curious about at team@maiatoll.com! :)

I love this! And I love you, Maia. It's so reliving to hear your thoughts about magic, rituals and practice. Knowing that we all can do it and just follow our heaet, intuition or whatever you want to call it.

I love this so much. There is an herbalist (in the Asheville area!) I've sat in ceremony with several times and she always calls in the four directions at the beginning of each circle. It's always so grounding and powerful; this conversation was a really nice reminder that I can call it in myself without waiting for some grand ritual or someone else to tell me what to do.

I love re-claiming and re-making rituals for ourselves, making them personally meaningful. Swing back and let me know how this works for you!

Thank you. It is so easy to get bogged down in the day to day and not be present enough to marvel at the beautiful moments happening all around us. I can’t wait to put this into practice!

If you keep it simple, it fits easily into daily life!

Lovely to hear the two of you together! Really resonated when you were talking about the calling in of the world around you as a calling in of support-I hadn't thought of it that way before or at least hadn't put words to it and think that will bring a new bit of depth into this practice for me. Love this series so far and looking forward to future episodes!

YAY! We're sooo excited about it. Let us know if you have suggestions. And so happy to see you here!

I was going to email you-- I'm coming to Scotland at the end of September for a writing retreat! Hope you'll be around. I would love to visit with you if possible.

I love this so much...this whole thing, Maia and Shan! It feels real, in the moment, and is exactly what I need. Thank you!

We're so glad Carol! We've been talking about this for months-- how to update older material in an authentic way, bring Witch Camp and Medicine Keepers lessons into the now. I am SO glad it resonated because we had FUN. Please send any suggestions!

Ugh, this beautiful reminder could not have come at a more perfect time. I have been so wrapped up in the busyness of life, it's time to call myself home. Thank you Maia and Shan!💖

It was perfect timing for me too! It's such a good reset.

Okay weird... it posted my comment twice so I tried to delete one... and it deleted both!

What I was saying was that I love the idea of really rooting and grounding your string spring energy. I'm curious how it will feel and how it will serve you through the season so pop back in and let me know!

(This may appear 2x!)
