    In this firelit episode of The Magick Kitchen Podcast, Leandra Witchwood and Elyse Welles welcome back priestess, author, and Reclaiming witch Irisanya Moon to explore the transformative power of the hearth, community care, and magic rooted in radical love.

    Together, we invoke Hestia, goddess of the sacred flame and communal spaces, and discuss how her wisdom guides us to dismantle patriarchal systems, cultivate inclusive circles, and hold space with intention. From magical activism and daily spiritual practice to co-creating with deities and embracing discomfort as growth—this is a potent episode for modern witches, priestesses, and change-makers alike.

    Topics include:

    • Hexing the patriarchy with intention and integrity
    • Reclaiming the hearth as a site of sacred resistance
    • Hestia’s role in community building & quiet power
    • Authentic spiritual leadership vs. hierarchy
    • Joy, ritual, and magic as acts of resilience
    • Irisanya's new book Hestia and her Substack Heart Magic
