Episode Notes:

We kick off this Witchy Wednesday episode on a different note than usual. We originally recorded the main part of this episode before the current Black Lives Matter protests became the forefront topic in today's world. We know that many are bowing out from their social channels to make room for the voices of the BLM Movement, but we wanted to air this episode for our witches wanting to prepare for the Strawberry Full Moon this Friday evening. We have included a protection spell made by The Illuminated Witch blog on Tumblr that we hope you will use to protect the black community and all Black Lives Matter protesters. After our brief preface added at the beginning of the episode, we go into the history and meaning of the Strawberry Moon, and some rituals and spells you can do on that evening to celebrate! Show your support for BLM, eat tons of strawberries, stay safe, and of course Stay Witchy.
