In this episode, I'm joined by Afura Nefertiti who is a returning guest and a long-time friend and fellow witch. Afura and I are discussing her shift towards working more with feminine energy and how the masculine structures and systems she's worked with in the past still serve her... but are no longer her most important focus in her life or spiritual practice. She shares about how she is opening up to receive more rest, support, and creative expression and talks about how our patriarchal society overvalues productivity.Learn more about the topic of feminine versus masculine energy - which is present in all of us, regardless of gender - during Afura's presentation in The Goddess Within Summit, a free virtual event happening April 28-30, 2025. Click here to get your free ticket!Connect with AfuraWebsite: https://writingwitch.comInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/afuranefertitiPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/thewritingwitchTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@afura_the_writing_witchYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheWritingWitch/?sub_confirmation+1

In this episode, I'm sharing my very personal stories of coming out as a witch, as polyamorous, and as bisexual - and how each new layer of authenticity that I've uncovered has led me closer and closer to the goddess within. We're talking about what goddess work is - and what it isn't. Did you know that you can practice goddess work... without every worshipping or even working with a goddess directly? You absolutely CAN and I'm sharing lots of ideas for rituals to help you connect with goddess energy, including my own personal goddess practices. But what goddess work is truly about is softening into beauty, opening your heart to receiving, releasing shame around pleasure and rest, and honoring your truest desires and authentic self. ---You'll learn all about these topics, how to work with specific goddesses, and reconnecting to pleasure without shame at the free Goddess Within Summit, happening April 28-30, 2025!

In this episode, I'm joined by Jill McArthur who is a professional tarot card reader with a focus on empowerment and self-reflection. Jill is a third-generation witch with roots in a magical lineage, beginning with her grandmother, who was an herbalist in Pakistan. Jill and I talked about her journey into working with tarot as an intuitive, but also reflective tool. She shared about some of her own practices with tarot as a wonderful support in "present-telling" - really being in the present moment and reflecting on your current circumstances, rather than anxiously living in the potential future. Jill also dispelled some common misconceptions about tarot.

In this episode, I'm sharing the juicy story of the #1 time I didn't trust my intuition - which centers around my big breakup back in 2023 so we're really spilling the tea here. Post-breakup, I've found myself on a journey to non-monogamy which has been deeply personal and healing - and trusting myself has been the key to getting here. I talk in this episode about a time when I had an intuitive hit, but didn't trust it, and another time when I heard the hit loud and clear and followed it through. In both instances, the nature of my intuition was quiet, direct, and very certain, which is a notable way to differentiate intuition from fear and external influences - it's always quiet and never chaotic.I'll be talking a lot more about these themes of what it means to really trust your intuition during the free Oracle Within Summit happening February 26-28, as well as sharing more stories and examples from my own life! Click here to get your free ticket now!The Witch of Lupine Hollow - Embodying Simplicity in Magick, Ritual & Self-CareThe Oracle Within Summit - The Witch of Lupine HollowThe Oracle Within A Free 3-Day Summit for Connecting with Your Intuition and Cultivating Self-Trust Awaken your intuition, learn to trust yourself, and step into your most magickal life among a supportive community of fellow witches February 26-28, 2025 Presented by The Witch of Lupine Hollow • An Empowered Modern Witches Summit REGISTER FOR FREE February

In this episode, I'm joined by Mel Gutierrez, who is a yoga teacher, personal trainer, energy healer, dominatrix-in-training, and a scientific-minded body researcher who bridges the gap between science and magic. She is a cool ass person and I'm so excited to have her on the podcast! Mel and I talked about the intersection of sex and death, rather than the usual phrasing of "life and death", and how these two often-taboo tools and experiences are powerful ways to empower ourselves. She shared about the idea of the body as the first temple of manifestation and also how we can hold the nuanced reality of disease and illness. We discussed concepts such as conscious kink, seeing sex as something creative, and knowing that death is a force beyond our control. It's a super juicy episode and probably in one of my top ten fave interviews ever.... so give it a listen!.
