As I write this under the waning moon of late June 2025, the world feels like a massive cauldron set to a rolling boil. The ingredients of transformation are swirling in ways that would make even the most seasoned kitchen witch pause and take notice. But here’s what I’ve learned from years of both literal and metaphorical brewing: the most potent potions often require the most volatile ingredients.
The Great Stirring: Reading the Energetic Signatures
When I cast my intuitive gaze across the global landscape right now, I see something profound happening. Over 473 million children — more than one in six globally — now live in areas affected by conflict, and the climate crisis intensifies, threatening basic human rights. To the untrained eye, this looks like pure chaos. To those of us who understand the deeper currents of transformation, this is the necessary dissolution that precedes rebirth.
The Tower card energy is unmistakable. Old structures are crumbling not because they’re being destroyed, but because they’ve outlived their spiritual purpose. The patriarchal systems that have governed our world for millennia are experiencing their death throes, and like any dying system, they’re thrashing wildly as they go.
The Alchemical Ingredients of Our Time
Every crisis brewing in our collective cauldron serves a purpose in humanity’s great alchemical transformation. Let me share what I’m seeing:
The Climate Chaos as Sacred Fire: The intensifying climate crisis isn’t just an environmental challenge—it’s the planet herself demanding we evolve or perish. Gaia is calling us into right relationship, using the sacred element of fire to burn away our delusions of separation from nature. The floods, droughts, and storms are her way of stirring the cauldron faster, forcing us to confront our shadow relationship with the Earth.
Political Upheaval as Mercury Retrograde on Steroids: The global political landscape feels like we’re stuck in a permanent Mercury retrograde. Trump’s return adds unpredictability to an already volatile world, and communication breakdowns are happening on every level. But here’s the deeper truth: this chaos is forcing us to develop new forms of connection and communication that transcend traditional political structures.
Economic Instability as the Death of Mammon: The old economic systems are revealing their unsustainability. This isn’t collapse—it’s composting. We’re breaking down the old to fertilize the new. The death of purely profit-driven economics is making space for sacred commerce, regenerative business models, and abundance consciousness.
Technological Disruption as Digital Sorcery: AI and technology are advancing at breakneck speed, and many are afraid. But as practitioners, we understand that technology is simply amplified human intention. The real question isn’t whether AI will replace us, but whether we’ll use these tools to amplify our highest consciousness or our deepest fears.
Shadow Work on a Planetary Scale
What we’re witnessing globally is humanity’s collective shadow work playing out on the world stage. Every conflict, every crisis, every moment of chaos is an opportunity for us to see what we’ve been refusing to acknowledge about ourselves.
The violence in Gaza, the authoritarian trends worldwide, the climate destruction—these aren’t separate issues. They’re all manifestations of the same core wound: our disconnection from the sacred, from each other, and from the Earth herself. The shadow of colonialism, patriarchy, and extraction-based thinking is being dragged into the light for healing.
As above, so below. The same shadow work we do in our personal lives—confronting our triggers, healing our wounds, integrating our disowned parts—is what humanity is doing collectively right now. It’s messy, it’s painful, and it’s absolutely necessary.
The Mystical Timing of Transformation
The astrology of these times is remarkable. We’re living through the aftermath of the great conjunction of 2020, still feeling the ripples of that Aquarian shift. The old Piscean age structures are dissolving, and the new Aquarian consciousness is struggling to be born.
This is why everything feels so chaotic and uncertain. We’re in the birth canal of a new age, and birth is never comfortable. But just as in physical birth, the intensity of the contractions tells us we’re close to breakthrough.
Practical Magic for Global Healing
As witches, healers, and conscious beings, we’re not meant to be passive observers of this transformation. We’re here to midwife the new world into being. Here’s how we can work with these energies:
Protection and Grounding Practices: Create sacred space around how you consume news. Light a white candle before reading about global events. Set the intention to witness without absorbing the trauma. Ground yourself afterward with earth-based practices.
Collective Healing Rituals: Join or create circles focused on planetary healing. New moon rituals for planting seeds of the new world. Full moon ceremonies for releasing what no longer serves humanity. The power of focused group intention cannot be underestimated.
Sacred Activism: Let your spiritual practice inform your worldly actions. Vote as an act of magic. Consume consciously as a daily ritual. Speak truth as a form of spell-casting. Your life is your most powerful magical tool.
Visionary Practices: Spend time in meditation or journey work envisioning the world you want to create. Feel it, see it, know it as already real. The collective unconscious is especially malleable right now—your visions matter more than ever.
The New World Stirring
In the depths of the cauldron, I can see the new world that’s trying to emerge. It’s a world where business serves spirit, where technology enhances connection rather than replacing it, where our relationship with the Earth is based on reciprocity rather than extraction.
I see communities of practice forming—not just spiritual communities, but integrated communities where spirituality infuses every aspect of life. I see new forms of governance based on indigenous wisdom and feminine principles. I see economic systems that prioritize wellbeing over profit.
This isn’t wishful thinking—it’s prophetic vision. These changes are already happening in pockets around the world. Our job is to tend these seeds, to create the conditions for them to flourish.
The Witch’s Perspective on Hope
Hope, from a magical perspective, isn’t passive optimism. It’s active creation. It’s understanding that we are co-creators of reality, and that every moment offers us the choice to align with fear or with love, with contraction or expansion, with the dying world or the world being born.
The global chaos isn’t evidence that we’re doomed—it’s evidence that we’re transforming. The intensity of the symptoms shows us how deep the healing is going. We’re not just changing systems; we’re evolving consciousness itself.
As I finish writing this, I’m reminded of something I learned from my grandmother’s kitchen witchery: you can’t make a good soup without bringing everything to a boil first. The ingredients need to break down, merge, and transform. What emerges is nourishing in ways the individual ingredients never could have been.
Humanity is in the process of becoming soup. And from where I sit, stirring my own small portion of the great cauldron, I can already smell how delicious we’re going to be.
Blessed be the chaos. Blessed be the transformation. Blessed be the new world stirring.
