    111: Astrology with Laurie Farrington
    Apr 18 2025

    ​In this episode of Back on the Broomstick, Laylla and Chelle are joined by astrologer Laurie Farrington to discuss her latest book, How to Read and Interpret a Birth Chart: Guideposts for Understanding Natal Astrology. Laurie brings decades of experience interpreting the stars through a deeply intuitive and grounded lens, and this book reflects her commitment to helping others align with their soul path through astrology.

    During their conversation, Chelle confesses her long-standing fear of astrology (mostly due to the math) and Laylla drops an astrology secret of her own. Together, they dig into what sun, moon, and rising signs really say about us, why Laylla thinks astrology charts are basically a celestial Tarot spread, and whether Mercury retrograde is truly something to fear or just misunderstood cosmic drama. Whether you’re fluent in your birth chart or still wondering what a rising sign actually does, this episode offers an open-hearted, witchy look at the skies above and the wisdom they hold.

  • 110: A (Fashionably) Late Ostara: Celebrating Spring in Your Own Time

    110: A (Fashionably) Late Ostara: Celebrating Spring in Your Own Time
    Apr 11 2025

    The witches are celebrating Ostara a little late this year and that’s totally okay! Chelle and Laylla share why waiting for the actual signs of spring in your own environment can make your sabbat celebrations more meaningful, rooted, and energetically aligned. The wheel of the year doesn’t always turn on the calendar’s schedule, and honoring your local land’s rhythm can be just as sacred as any celestial festival date.

    Laylla shares a beautiful Ostara-themed Tarot spread she found on Tumblr that focuses on renewal, what’s germinating in your life, and what’s ready to bloom. Plus, she unveils a natural eggshell spell she created to harness the energy of new life and fresh intention. It’s perfect for witches who want to seed their goals with a little seasonal magic, literally.

    Whether you're right on time, running late, or have been celebrating spring all along, this episode is your reminder that you are not behind on the Wheel of the Year. You’re exactly where you’re meant to be; and spring will come when it’s ready, just like we do.

  • 109: Sacred Space Conference - Witches Gone Wild Version

    109: Sacred Space Conference - Witches Gone Wild Version
    Apr 5 2025

    Laylla and Chelle spill the enchanted tea on their magical adventures at the 2025 Sacred Space Conference! From leading their deeply transformative Fool Meditation Ritual to hugging the absolute spell out of some beloved listeners, it was a whirlwind of candles, community, and just the right amount of chaos!

    The witches share stories from the workshops they attended and the brilliant witches they connected with...yes, we’re talking about Mat Auryn, Jhenah Telyndru, Amy Blackthorn, Mhara Starling, Kristoffer Hughes, Christian Brannen, and so many more. There were spellbooks, sacred moments, and possibly a few awkward ones too! Like when Chelle said something very, very cheeky to Kristoffer Hughes, who (thank the gods) found it hilarious. Laylla, on the other hand, may or may not have had an awkward entanglement with Jhenah Telyndru and is now fairly convinced she has to avoid the Avalonian Priestess out of sheer embarrassment.

    Between the deep spiritual work and the laugh-until-you-snort moments, this episode is part recap, part celebration, and all community. Whether you were there in person or in spirit, come along for the ride as the witches reflect on the joy, power, and absolute magic of sharing sacred space with this incredible pagan community.

I love these girls!

This podcast really speaks to me as somebody who has also recently got back on the broomstick myself! It’s a relaxed podcast with the kind of open minded and understanding nature of what works for the individual rather than a set of rules to follow. As long as your intent is there which is refreshing after the rigid rules I followed in my newbie days!! It also made me realise that although I did back away from my craft for many years, my intent was always there, my magic working quietly in the background! Great work ladies, loving the show! A menopausal Guernsey witch from the UK!
