How to Work With the April 8 Total Solar Eclipse: Refresh, Release, Be Reborn | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 177

Hi friends! ARE YOU EXCITED?! I’m excited! In a little more than 12 hours we will have a total solar eclipse bopping diagonally over North America, and I have to say I’m already buzzy with both apprehensive and excited vibes. In this podcast episode I talk eclipse viewing safety for anyone traveling to totality or planning to view the partial eclipse, and offer some tips for reflection and magic and alchemy for anyone going cocoon mode during this time and choosing not to view, or living somewhere where viewing isn’t possible. I also share when in the last few years this eclipse loops us back to. Happy eclipsing!

CBC’s “Coven” Documentary Isn’t About Witchcraft At All | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 172
CBC’s “Coven” Documentary Isn’t About Witchcraft At All | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 172

Yes, another witchcraft documentary! This time, here are my thoughts - I could not help myself as someone who absolutely loves documentaries! I even wrote a paper about the representation of witches in documentary film back in my undergrad - the short version is, at the time, back in probably 2009, witches were presented as either silly or sexy. This documentary falls into neither trope, but still completely misses the mark with its focus on identity and reincarnation, rather than witchcraft and magic itself. In this episode I give my full thoughts on the documentary “Coven” which you can watch for free on CBC Gem.

It’s Okay to Keep Your Witchcraft and Spirituality Local | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 171
It’s Okay to Keep Your Witchcraft and Spirituality Local | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 171

Guess what? Despite the self-important activists thumping around on social media, virtue signalling in every which direction, you are absolutely NOT a narcissistic and self indulgent spiritual bypasser if your witchcraft is undoubtedly local instead of global. A lot of witchcraft - including the kind I practice - has always been rooted (literally and figuratively) in the unabashedly local: healing ourselves, undoing inter generational traumas, protecting our homes and families, and cultivating deeper connection with heritage, land, and environment. If you wanna do global political witchcraft, go for it - but stop shaming any witches who are keeping their practice closer to home.

Deities Were Popular in Witchcraft in the 90s. Why Not Now? | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 166
Deities Were Popular in Witchcraft in the 90s. Why Not Now? | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 166

In this episode I talk a little bit about trends in witchcraft, and do a flash back to my early days of practice in the 1990s. Back in the day, it was thought that everyone had to had a “patron deity” or deities. Now, it’s known widely that there are so many different forms of practice, with many people focusing on animism or Christian witchcraft. I share a bit about the first deities I worked with and why, and how they helped me, and share a little on how my altar practice has changed over time.
