As the wheel of the year turns, how do we align with the rhythms of nature to bring balance and renewal into our lives? What ancient traditions shaped the way we celebrate Ostara today? What if you could reshape your reality through witchcraft, tapping into your inner power? How does one begin this journey? And what does it mean to walk the path of a witch?

Welcome to the Magical Professions Podcast, where we creatively explore mystical, forgotten, and transformational professions—those who guide, teach, and preserve the wisdom of spiritual traditions over time. Today, we are honored to welcome Lisa McSherry, an author, priestess, and leader in the Pagan and witchcraft community.
