Pagan's Witchy Corner

In this week’s episode, Kala and I crack open the foundation of magical self-care: energetic hygiene. We’re talking about the five core practices every witch should know—Grounding, Cleansing, Shielding, Clearing Your Space, and Replenishing—and we don’t just name-drop them. We break each one down, share how we actually use them in real life, and talk through our favorite ways to keep our energy clean, clear, and protected.
This isn’t about aesthetic rituals or spiritual perfection; it’s about making these practices sustainable, intuitive, and aligned with your real, messy life. Whether you’re brand new to the path or you’re trying to strengthen your energetic roots, this episode is a practical deep dive to help you protect your magic.
So grab your tea, light your candle (or don't), and join us for part one of Lesson Two on the Tempering Path.

✨ Next week: Join us for Energy Care Unfiltered – Priestess Q&A and Honest Reflections. We’ll be answering your questions and getting raw with our own answers to the reflection prompts from this lesson. The good, the gritty, the “oh damn, that one hit me” moments. Real talk, real practice.

This path isn’t about perfection; it’s about presence. Let’s begin.

More on Kala:
Kala is a co-priestess in The Temple of the Unseen Flame, alongside my beloved co-conspirator and co-priestess Pagan. I’m just a plain-Jane kind of girl from the Southern US, raised on cornbread, front porch stories, and in the rhythm of Southern Baptist Sundays. My path to Paganism has been long, winding, often surprising, and full of unexpected turns. I didn’t find it all at once. The more I leaned into my dreams, my intuition, and my experiences with spirit, the more the world began to shimmer with meaning. The gods, the dead, the land – all of it was speaking. 
These days, I’m a priestess of death and rebirth, of sovereignty and sacred mischief. I walk with spirits. I work with Gods who burn away illusions and shine light into shadow. My magic is devotional and practical, grounded and ecstatic. I believe in sacred rest, in the wisdom of the body, and in building spiritual homes for people like us, the seekers, the weirdos, the ones who never stopped asking questions. Now, I walk a path of devotion, sovereignty, and mystery with The Unseen Flame.
When I am not doing my priestess work, I can be found crocheting, reading, or playing games with my friends on Discord.

In this episode, Kala and I get real about one of the most talked-about, and honestly, most misunderstood topics in witchcraft: gatekeeping. We swap stories and share the kind of lessons that only come from living it, not just reading about it. This isn’t about drawing lines in the sand to keep people out; it’s about knowing where healthy boundaries help a community thrive and where those boundaries need a little extra love (or a good, hard look). We discuss the difference between protecting what’s sacred and shutting people out.
Whether you’re just finding your witchy feet or you’re the one holding the lantern for others, this conversation is about the realness of the practice. So grab your favorite mug, wrap up in something cozy, and settle in.
✨ Next week, we’ll be kicking off Lesson 2 of the Tempering Path with Protect Your Magic: Five Essential Steps for Energetic Hygiene. Your primer on grounding, cleansing, shielding, clearing your space, and replenishing your energy.
✨ After that, join us for Energy Care Unfiltered: Priestess Q&A and Honest Reflections as we get real about what these practices look like in everyday witchcraft, answering your questions and sharing our own lived experiences.
This path isn’t about perfection; it’s about presence. Let’s begin.

In this episode, Priestess Pagan and Priestess Kala dive into the reflection questions from Lesson One: What Is Energy Really and Why You Need to Tend It. We don’t just talk theory, we share how these concepts have shown up in our own lives. From unraveling the difference between physical and spiritual energy to figuring out what it actually means to tend your energy with care, we walk you through our personal paths and growing pains.
This episode is both a conversation and a mirror, offering insight, laughter, and a little wisdom as you begin your own journey with spiritual hygiene. Come sit with us and listen in as the Temple path unfolds.
✨ Next week, I will bring you a meditation (yes, meditations are finally coming back) on Meeting Your Energy from the Inside Out.✨ Then, Kala will return to help close the month as we talk about Gatekeeping vs. Guarding the Path: A Necessary Tension.

In this episode, Priestess Pagan and Priestess Kala kick off the very first lesson of the Tempering Path by diving into the foundational question: What is energetic hygiene?
We explore the heart of this practice: core of this practice: why it matters, what it can look like across different spiritual paths, and how we’ve defined why it matters, what it can look like across different spiritual paths, and how we’ve come to define it in our own lives. This conversation sets the tone for deeper work ahead of understanding your energy and how it works within the path.
✨ Next week, we’ll turn inward with reflection questions to help you explore your own relationship with energetic hygiene.
✨ Then, we’ll close the month with a guided practice to help you check in with your energy and begin cleansing with intention.
This path isn’t about perfection; it’s about presence. Let’s begin.
