Hi friends! Guess what? I’m relaunching my big ass comprehensive course on witchcraft and magic - Magic Without BS. Why did I make this course? Well, I got sick of watching so many lovely people flounder in their passion for magic. It made me sad to see people still confused after being in the witchy community for more than 10 years… and I wanted to provide a solution in the form of an online course, jam packed with all my knowledge on energetic mechanics, spirituality, philosophy, and actual magical techniques, PLUS the option to get community and group coaching from me for 6 months. Whenever I’ve launched this course I’ve seen people transform and thrive, and I know this cohort will be no different. If you’ve been into magic for ages but still feel a bit lost, this course is for you. And if you’ve already enrolled in Magic Without BS as a past student… email me about the top up investment to join us for group coaching. Any questions before we launch on Monday May 29? Holla!
Read MoreHey friends! As we pivot slightly into talking about magic, in this episode I share what I believe are the three biiiggggeeesstt mistakes magic learners make - whether you’ve been a magical newbie for five minutes or five years. Oh, yeah - and I include some lil tips on what to do instead.
Read MoreHey friends! In this episode, I go back to my roots and talk a bit about magic. What the hell is it? What can it do for us, what can it teach us, how does it work, and how can it improve our lives? The big fun questions! I spill the beans on what magic is for anyone who is a lil confused, and I share some of my unique perspectives about magic.
Read MoreOkay so this episode is a little bit of a rant… stick with me though. Over the last few years, witchy and spiritual spaces have been inundated with the rhetoric of the oppression olympics, a narcissistic over-fixation on identity, and an obsession with personal injury. In this episode I talk a bit about some of the conversations I’ve observed lately, particularly a knee jerk response to (and rejection of) “low vibe” and “high vibe” rhetoric. I give a contrary perspective, which is that we can accept ourselves no matter where we are on our journey. Shame is optional, and so is the rejection of happy and helpful concepts. A deep episode, lol!
Read MoreUnfortunately, I’ve seen a lot of people so eager for signs, omens, and spiritual validation that they get scammed, hoodwinked, and fooled. It makes me so upset! It’s possible to be spiritual, follow your intuition, pay attention to the vibes, AND keep your connection to logic and emotional sobriety. In this episode I give some examples of when people fuck this up and talk about how to reconcile our desire for spiritual validation with our ability to use our brains.
Read MoreToday is Beltane! And guess what? I don’t care, and you don’t have to either! A lot of the witchy space is full of obligation energy around witchy (Wiccan, really) holidays - and I’m here to give you some permission to create your own wheel of the year and holy days, unique to you and your own experience. In this episode I talk about how to do that and give some examples! And of course - Magic May begins TODAY?
Read MoreThis episode is inspired by a podcast called Astray, which I binged over the weekend! The podcast follows the stories of Western men who went to India to find enlightenment, and ended up dead. In this episode, I discuss why people go elsewhere to find spiritual knowledge, what I think about that, and why/when it is and isn’t appropriate. If you’re not sure how to infuse your mundane daily life with magic and deep spirituality, you should check out my two books on how to do just that: Witchbody, and Curse and Cure: Magic for Real Life. Both books can be found on Amazon.
Read MoreHi y’all! In this episode on Christian Vibe Weekend (aka Easter weekend), I talk about how cool I think Christians are for owning their beliefs, surprising links between Christianity and western magic, and the most powerful holy sites I’ve ever visited. I also discuss why I made this podcast and why the episodes aren’t always about magic (but they all really are tbh). At the end I mention a few learning opportunities coming up… as well as my motivations for teaching something very spicy and controversial, coming soon!
Read MoreThere’s more to witchcraft than just witchcraft. Many folks in the community may not want to admit it, but it’s true - and this key factor is I think part of why we see so many witchy folks who are drenched in their own misery, and wondering why magic won’t get ‘em out of it. In this episode I talk about what I mean by all of this, why magic alone isn’t enough, and what it means to have an ecosystem of self care and growth.
Read MoreHi friends! Since, as I’ve mentioned in a previous episode, I’m feeling hella playful these days… I’ve created a lil group challenge/ experience I am sooo excited to share about today - 31 days of magic and inspiration in a collective group chat vibe, called Magic May! Building spiritual consistency is a way of engaging in ritual: and when we say a bold YES to the invitation to connect with our magic on the daily - even if only for five minutes - our spiritual practice deepens, we realize how alive our magic really is, and how easy, quick, and joyful it can be to embrace the wonder of this beautiful life through this wonderful thing called witchcraft. In this episode I share allll about what this challenge involves - how you’ll get access to daily inspo, community, my own responses to ya, win free live trainings if you succeed in daily practice, and you’ll also be able to win my courses and readings for free when you earn points by inviting friends to participate in the challenge with you! It’s a win win!
Read MoreYes friends, it’s true - embracing the breadth of taste, flavour, and the diversity of food will only improve your energy work skills, and, yes, make you a better witch. In this episode I explain how, and why!
Read MoreWhat’s an omen? How can you tell if it’s an actual omen from your spirit guides, or just the random chaos of the universe? In this episode I share a recent experience, what I learned from it, and how to be more open to the omens showing up in your life.
Read MoreYou know, magic and ritual doesn’t always have to involve long prayers, lighting twenty candles, and standing in front of your altar - it can be much simpler, and much more domestic… if you let it. In this episode I share my little daily ritual to start each morning, and give some suggestions for how to think about your own.
Read MoreIn 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.
