In this episode, we explore the body as a powerful magickal tool—one that’s often overlooked in favour of external rituals, aesthetics, and online presence. Join us as we delve into body positivity, physical sensations, and the ways our bodies synchronize with both our internal cycles and the changing seasons. We’ll talk about integrating sensuality into our craft, balancing the desire to be present with the pull of social media, and learning to trust our own physical intuition.

From embracing movement-based practices like dance or yoga to honouring the body through ritual bathing, anointing, or mindful meditation, this conversation shines a light on the importance of coming home to ourselves. Together, we’ll uncover how recognizing our bodies as sacred vessels can deepen our connection to the earth, our spiritual path, and the magick that flows through every breath. Tune in for an empowering discussion on weaving body consciousness into the heart of witchcraft.

As witches, we know that death is not an end, but a powerful transition. What awaits us beyond the veil? In this video, we delve into life after death from a witch's perspective, exploring the sacred mysteries of the afterlife, ancestral communication, and the cyclical nature of existence. We discuss our own personal experiences as we shed light on the realms that lie beyond the physical world.
