Are You Ready to Get More Spiritual This September? | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 99

Hi friends! As September is only a few short days away, we inch closer and closer into the autumn, otherwise known to many witchy folks as spooky season! With a burst of fresh, “new school year” energy, this is such a good time to step back and reflect on how we are doing in our life and in our spiritual practice in general. If some of your New Year’s resolutions involved spiritual stuff… how are you progressing with that? Did you meet all your commitments to yourself, or do you have a little room to grow? How do you want to feel about your spiritual practice by the end of the year? If you wanna dive in to Spiritual September with me… I’d love to have you in this month long group text experience!

Feeling Left Out? Be the Change! Create What You Wish Existed | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 25

Have you ever been left out? Not invited to the kewl kids’ party (or podcast, or book anthology thang, or conference, or or or)? Well, tbh, same - witchy and spiritual communities can be just as cliquey and rude as any other ol’ group of people. In this episode, I share the only ritual I ever did that completely was rejected by the universe (to find a ready-made spiritual community to plop happily right into), how I felt about it, lessons from it, and what I did next. I also give suggestions on what to do if you feel totally shunned by all the places you wanna be, or like you don’t belong. You got this - I promise.

Is All Spirituality a Cult? What Critics Get Wrong | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 17

In the last few years, as we’ve seen the rise of anti-science stances among adherents of alternative spirituality, there’s also been an increase of critiques of things like reiki, witchcraft, and everything new age woo as being conspiracy theories or cults. In this episode I argue that many of the current critiques of contemporary fringe spirituality are fuelled by cynicism and contempt, and incorrectly lump everything into the ‘conspiracy’ category, often displaying as much paranoia as those they claim to critique - a hilarious and yet sad hypocrisy. I discuss what I believe led us here, including the death of expertise, lack of discernment, and perhaps the disillusionment of today’s critics.
