The Final Podcast Name! And Some Snowstorm Thoughts on How Weather Helps Us Be More Present | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 173

Hi y’all! It’s me, Sabrina, of the ever changing podcast names - but I think this one is the one. I explain a bit of what I mean by “claim your magic” exactly - what kinda magic? Aren’t I against magic being used as a metaphor? Well, yes! But there’s more. We also had a big snow storm in Toronto yesterday and I was outside the entire time - I loved it! I end the episode by talking about how snow and really any kind of season or weather can help us learn to lean into play, wonder, joy, and a concept I introduced in my first book, Witchbody: reinvigorated presence.

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.

Spiritual Experiences and Psychotic Breaks are Two Different Things | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 152
Spiritual Experiences and Psychotic Breaks are Two Different Things | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 152

Hi my friends! In this episode of the podcast I talk about a trend that has been disturbing me lately… women in their late thirties and early forties positioning their paranoid delusions and psychotic breaks as genuine spiritual enlightenment. That don’t fly with me. Listen to the episode to hear about what I’ve observed and why I think it’s dangerous for the spiritual community and society as a whole.

It’s 2024! The Tower, Rejecting Tribalism, and Choosing Spiritual Integration | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 151

Hello hello friends!! You may have noticed that this podcast has changed its name… more on that soon! Anyway - happy 2024! In this episode I talk a bit about the new year and the energy of 2024 that I’ve felt bubbling up, the challenges this year will bring us energetically, and how to make the best of it. I also talk about quiet quitting in friendships, ghosting, increasing divisiveness and tribalism, rejection of multiplicity and diversity, and how we can choose spiritual integration instead of the two extremes of spiritual bypassing and getting sucked into the internet outrage machine and soapbox echo chamber politics. There is a middle path, and we can choose it. Why do people choose outrage? I get into that a bit too, and address the addiction to excitement many people with trauma don’t overcome. Overall it is a jam packed episode that covers a ton of diverse topics - food for thought as we release the old and welcome the new.

What Does It Mean For the Veil to Be Thin? | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 111
What Does It Mean For the Veil to Be Thin? | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 111

“The veil is thinning!” If I had an apple oat macchiato every time I heard someone say that, I would likely explode from overconsumption of sugar, haha. In this episode, I discuss what on earth everyone on witchy Instagram (and I assume TikTok) means when they suggest that “the veil is thin” around this time of year. I explain what exactly the “veil” is, and why some people think that autumn creates the space for more spiritual experiences and spiritual contact. Is it legit that it’s easier to talk to spirits at this time of year? Find out my thoughts in this very seasonal episode!

The Grocery Store is a Sacred Place | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 101

The magical in the mundane. If I had a shot of tequila for every time I heard someone in witchy land say that, I would be wasted. But what does it actually MEAN on a practical every day level? In this episode I talk about one of these every day sacred places for me: the grocery store. I also discuss how eating, making, and learning about food can ignite our senses and reconnect us to the magic and beauty of all that is.
