It's Scorpio season and the veil is thin. In the modern world, consciousness has wifi, and the unseen speaks in algorithms, synchronicities, and pings. And the witch is no longer hiding in the woods – she's building in the cloud, but with her magic is still rooted in Earth.
If you've ever felt torn between the digital and the divine, between ancient wisdom and modern tools, between honoring tradition and forging your own path – this episode is for you.
Because witchcraft in the Aquarian Age isn't about choosing one or the other. It's about reprogramming the old ways for your unique wiring, while staying rooted in what's always been true.
In this episode...
🪄 Why traditional witchcraft still feels like home, and what happens when an Aquarian rewrites the script for herself
✨ How synchronicity and serendipity have become the new sigils – and why the world itself is now your ritual space
💫 What it means to hold creative power in a world of AI, algorithms, and amplified energy (because everything's getting turned up and sped up)
🌊 Why staying rooted in nature and the elements is the most radical tech hygiene you have right now
🎭 How the dark and the light both live in all of us, and what happens when you integrate them before the world forces you to
This is your invitation to remember that you're wired for witchcraft, the Aquarian way. You don't need to follow any specific rules or traditions to be a conscious co-creator of your reality.

(00:58):
It is Scorpio season, the veil'sfeeling thin, where endings and
openings dance.
Once again, the candles areflickering, data streams hum,
which is an algorithms beatingone drum.
From cauldrons to code, themagic's evolved.
Old ways dissolve, new puzzlesget solved.
(01:19):
We're wired and wild, both humanand star.
One hand on the circuit, onehand on the scar.
Intentions are signals,realities tuned to the frequency
we consciously attune.
Nature still whispers throughfiber and flame, reminding our
power's not here to be tamed.
(01:40):
The spell is awareness.
The craft is our play.
Let's talk how it works, theAquarion way.
The idea for this episode camebecause I was reflecting on what
my unique relationship to andversion of witchcraft is.
As you may or may not know, I ambranded Cosmic Biz Witch, and
(02:04):
it's always been interesting toown that and to be connected
with that as an archetype.
In my brand because myrelationship to it is not
traditional.
It's different, and feeling intohow those differences really, I
think come down to me being soAquarian and that nothing I do
(02:28):
is very conventional ortraditional.
Most every way that I approachanything is very
individualistic, is some kind ofexperimentation, some kind of
play to find what's mine andwhat really works for me.
And my relationship towitchcraft is no different,
(02:49):
which as an Aquarian is alsovery woven with the times, the
technology, the tools that areavailable to us in this modern
day and age that I think is allpart and parcel of my unique
positioning around the practiceof witchcraft, and I actually
(03:11):
put it into kind of a succinctblurb that I want to head this
episode with and then continueobviously to flesh out in
various ways to unpack what Imean here.
I define Aquarian Age witchcraftas our relationship to the
unseen forces that animate thisworld and to our not yet
(03:36):
manifest vision for our realityhere through the lens of our
wiring that makes sense of it toexperience and engage it.
And this creates the openingthen that this episode is about
my personal relationship towitchcraft, that also kind of
naturally creates an invitationas what Aquarian Age witchcraft
(04:02):
is, and this invitation toeveryone that is here and a part
of this time to evolve with itin the ways that I have come to
orient to it as someone that isso Aquarian.
Because we are in an era whereconsciousness has wifi, where
the unseen really does, ifyou're paying attention, speak
(04:26):
in algorithms, insynchronicities and in pings.
It's all so intricatelyconnected where the witch once
upon a time, the archetype thatwe know no longer hides in the
woods in her hovel or castle,right?
She builds in the cloud, but hermagic is still rooted in Earth,
(04:49):
and this episode is just as muchhow important it is to maintain
that connection.
She still breathes with theelements.
She still remembers that energyis matter and that intention is
code.
Because witchcraft isn't justabout specific spells anymore.
(05:10):
It's about systems.
It's about awareness, and it'sabout the sacred circuitry, if
you will, that connects us all.
In this episode, we're gonna getinto why traditional witchcraft
still feels like home for me.
And what happens when anAquarian rewrites the spell, or
the script, how synchronicityand serendipity are the new
(05:34):
sigils of our time, what itmeans to hold creative power in
a world of AI, algorithms, andamplified energy.
Everything's getting turned upand sped up.
Why staying rooted in nature andin the elements is the most
radical tech hygiene we have.
(05:57):
How the dark and the light bothlive in all of us, and what
happens when you integrate thembefore the world forces you to.
And how all of this, the magic,the matter, the mystery that
Scorpio points to is simply thepractice of being in
relationship with what you can'tyet see.
(06:19):
This is the season of the witch.
If you're listening to thisright after it aired, we just
had Halloween and the atmosphereis that Scorpio season
spookiness veil thinning timewhen the collective curiosity
about and connection to witchesand witchcraft is at its peak.
(06:44):
So no wonder this is where myreflections are going and why
this episode was born.
So I wanna speak for a minutejust to really personalize my
resonance with and connection tothat archetype of Scorpio, of
the witch, that for me, hasalways felt so familiar second
(07:07):
nature, ancestral insofar asit's a relationship of me to my
past, past versions of myself,past lineages.
And I've always attributed thisto that my South Node is in
Scorpio in the first house.
So if you're not familiar withthe South Node, that's like your
(07:30):
past life remembrance and rootsand what feels, again, kind of
like second nature, almost likeunconsciously obvious to you.
And so because of that, allthings which related in the
realm of Scorpio were neveranything for me in this life
that I felt like I had to learn.
(07:51):
Like it always felt like somekind of remembrance, like the
spells, the modalities, all ofthe aspects of what I would come
across as traditionalwitchcraft, didn't feel
compelling to me in like a, oh,I need to learn this.
Right?
It was more like, oh yeah, that,like that, that, that feels very
(08:12):
close to home.
So whether it's in, you know,rituals, in Sigils, in the
language and orientation towardintention setting and
relationship with energy, or,for me, another big one has
always been like tending altersand how I organize my spaces and
(08:34):
how that has always felt like aspiritual practice for me to do
that.
Which my Moon is in Virgo, soI've always seen that as part of
that placement of my birthmoment and that I've always just
felt in relationship to myintentions that are then, of
course, connected to that whichI don't yet have, can't yet see,
(08:58):
but feel a connection with, somefuture timeline that I'm calling
here now by putting myself inthat as if it's present.
And for me as well, all of myAquarius, which is obviously a
big theme in this episode of myrelationship to these things as
well, is in my third house ofcommunication, of the words that
(09:22):
we use.
So a well crafted intention hasalways felt so powerful to me.
And of course, spells arespoken.
You know, it's the root of theword spelling and points to the
power of our words to create ourreality.
So all of this, again, has justalways felt so natural to me.
(09:45):
But of course, as is the topicof this episode, thanks to my
Sun and Mercury and Jupiter allbeing in Aquarius, what's
actually felt authentic to methis life, alongside and almost
as an evolution of, or extensionof that familiarity with
(10:06):
witchcraft is like doing it myown way.
And just like with anythingelse, like not really feeling
all that much desire to embracetradition, right?
An example of this, there was atime that I created something
called Astroglyphs, and it verymuch felt like a version of
sigils that I would create basedon the astrological symbols of
(10:32):
the moment.
So the prominent planets andsigns, I would bring them all
together, digitally of course,and create one sigil glyph that
I called an Astroglyph, to beable to connect more deeply with
the energetics of the moment.
So, you know, even my art, it'sjust felt so infused with
(10:53):
everything that I've done, thatit's been some albeit
alternative form of spellwork,and also through my digital
design, which is a huge part ofmy artistic expression, from
even when I was a little kid, Iwas blessed to have a grandpa
that like always had the newestsoftware and I would create
(11:14):
digital art on the computerscreen.
And that process, that creativeprocess of design has always
carried this like knowingintentional frequency for me as
well.
So takeaway here being, I wantedto share that while traditional
witchcraft feels like home forme, that my expression of it,
(11:38):
has always felt like it belongsto a different age, right?
And maybe this Aquarian one, asyou will soon see, and with the
invitation that I'm openingthrough my experience of what
witchcraft has come to me forme.
So I'm talking about this bridgebetween the familiar and the
future, which again, for me, mypersonal relationship with that
(12:01):
bridge has always felt like aconnection between my Scorpio,
which is my South Node there,Saturn, Pluto, and my Rising
sign, all in the first househere, I do have Pluto in the
12th, but in the first househere of like, not just the
witch, which is Scorpio, butfirst house like witch in her
(12:23):
castle, right?
Like a very like solo personalkind of place and experience of
that archetype in relationshipto that Aquarian Sun, Mercury,
Jupiter wiring in my third houseof communication.
So while I have like a deepreverence and love for and
(12:44):
honoring of the old ways, theherbs, the symbols, the circle,
the way that we cast the spellsin a very specific way to be
able to manifest what we desire,my magic this life is wired a
little bit differently.
(13:05):
And of course not every witchfits the stereotype of the
archetype, but I'm gonna runwith it to differentiate myself
as well in that I don't seekmystery in secrecy, right?
A big reason why I am visibleonline and my brand is Cosmic
Biz Witch and it's a veryoutward facing world connecting,
(13:30):
systems oriented way that Irelate to the mystery and my
relationship to it.
And I don't feel like I need todo certain specific rituals
like, you know, lighting candlesto summon.
I feel like for me it's more ofcoding my intentions through my
(13:52):
processes, through my Virgomundane life and my thought
patterns that feel so connectedto the frequencies that I'm
wanting to manifest my realitythrough.
I know Aquarian weirdo here.
But magic for me feels lessabout casting and more about
(14:15):
connecting and authenticallyliberating and knowing myself
through my desires and kind of,you know, in an Aquarian way,
those like left field thoughtsand sparks that come through
that make me realize like, oh, Ididn't even know that was in
there, but like, yes and moreplease.
(14:37):
So it really is just like, youknow, evolution itself.
Not the old way was wrong.
This new way is right.
Evolution is always to includeand transcend, right, to bring
with and adapt and evolve intothe future that we're moving
into.
So the Aquarian witch does notreject the old ways.
(14:59):
She reprograms them for herself,her unique orientation and
individuality as well as for thecollective circuitry.
Now, I wanna move into the ideaof synchronicity as the new
sigil.
So I mentioned that ScorpioSouth Node in the first house my
(15:21):
past life, I was a witch in hercastle, right?
Removed from society and headdown in my alchemy, in my
spells, in whatever I wasworking on and focusing on.
Traditionally, witchcraft wasmore of a private alchemy
exception of course being thecovens and the crafts and the
(15:44):
ways that we came together, butit was not a very public thing
for obvious reasons.
But we have images of thearchetype with the cauldron in
the lab, in the dimly lit roomwhere transformation was brewed
more or less in isolation.
(16:05):
But in the Aquarian Age, theproverbial cauldron is
everywhere.
And this is why my focus now isless on zeroing in on something
like a sigil to focus my energyand my magic, but more about my
relationship to synchronicityand serendipity and how whatever
(16:28):
my focus is through a hall ofmirrors kind of electricity is
actually connected to everyother thing.
And when I can see and be withmy intention in a way that I see
it everywhere and in everything,that is how I relate to
(16:50):
synchronicity and serendipityand it feels like such a
cornerstone for me of myrelationship to, and my version
of practicing witchcraft.
So not something that Ispecifically isolate into, you
know, drawing an ink using theexample of the sigil here.
But something that gets revealedthrough my interactions and my
(17:14):
experiences, so that when I amin the world and exposed to new
inputs and letting myself bumpup against life, and life bump
up against me, the magic happensin my reflections, in those
little pings and in theresonance that I feel through
those little micro revealings.
(17:36):
So in this way, the world itselfis now the ritual space and
stage and reality at large isthe new spell circle.
So I wanna offer this Aquarianreframe around conscious
co-creation.
One of the tenets of the age ofAquarius that we're entering
(17:56):
into is unity through diversity.
So having an intimate andauthentic relationship to you
and your path, and the way youthink and perceive the world,
and not needing to conform, weleft the age of Pisces, where to
be in community was aboutconforming.
(18:20):
Enter the cult and everybodydressed in white robes and
talking and speaking the same,or even the new age community
that I was a part of for a timewhere weren't wearing white, we
were wearing psychedelicinspired clothing, but we all
did kind of dress the same andtalk about the same things,
right?
So stepping away from that intoa very individual unique
(18:45):
expression of what it means tobe you.
And then through that, to beable to connect with each other
from that place.
So a new octave of community: unity through diversity. (18:52):
undefined
And I really think that that'ssuch a big part of the shift,
right?
Like it used to be that toreally be in connection with
that part of yourself, thatdeeply authentic version of you
that maybe wouldn't fit in theworld at large.
You had to be more in a bubble.
(19:13):
You had to create these circlesto step inside of to really be
able to let your magic out andbe in relationship with it.
But now the Aquarian Age witchknows that reality is
responsive, we're living in adifferent time, and it's a time
where everybody is invited toparticipate.
(19:34):
You don't have to identify as awitch to be connected with these
things, to be a co-creator, aconscious co-creator of your
reality, and the one that we'reall sharing.
And so, you know what used to beframed in specific ways around
how spells are designed toinfluence and manifest in
(19:58):
certain ways, that idea ofintentional influence, a very
powerful one, is something thatI think is being democratized
essentially, or not sure whatthe word is, but like, you know,
it's no longer the realm of justthe specifically archetypal or
traditional witch.
It's something available toeveryone and it's how we all are
(20:20):
able to co-create with theuniverse as living beings
embodied here, not justwitnessing it, not falling
victim to it.
And so I hope this episode aswell serves as a reminder of
regardless of what yourrelationship is to witchcraft,
which likely you didn't make itfar in this episode if you have
an aversion to it.
(20:41):
That said, if you did, hi,welcome, glad you're here.
You don't have to be a witch toplay this game.
And just like witches castspells knowing their power to
influence the elements that makeup this realm, we all have the
potential, the capability toshape reality through our
(21:03):
consciousness, throughintentional design, and through
where we place our attention,which if you haven't been paying
any, that is one of the mostvaluable currencies of this
modern digital age.
And Aquarian Age witchcraftisn't about control.
(21:23):
When we think of the archetypeof the witch, if you don't
identify as one, you probablythink of dark or black magic and
manipulation and spell castingto wield our influence, even if
it isn't for the greater good orthe object of our spell would
(21:44):
not agree or choose it or be inconsent.
That is not the kind ofwitchcraft that I'm talking
about here.
It's not about control, it'sabout collaboration.
And it's ultimately the practiceof knowing that you are a
variable in every equation ofyour life, and trusting that
(22:05):
awareness enough to play yourrole with care, with curiosity
and with responsibility, theresponsibility that comes with
that knowing.
If this conversation is lightingsomething up in you, if you are
feeling your own wiring in allof this, if you feel like I'm
(22:26):
speaking to you.
Come join me inside the CosmicCurrent.
It's my weekly newsletter lovedrop on money, on magic, and on
cosmic alignment with thetransits, the cosmic currents as
a business owner.
A way to stay synced up withyour own rhythm, with the cosmic
(22:46):
cycles, and with your reality asthe stars keep shifting.
Because this is what we dothere, we practice Aquarian Age
witchcraft in real time: noticing, aligning and (22:55):
undefined
co-creating with intention, theworld we wanna live in, and the
business vehicles we want to betraveling through.
Next up, I want to share alittle bit more about my
personal experience andrelationship to all of this,
(23:16):
which is that for me, it's allabout the direct experience and
for me, that came in partthrough my history and
exploration with psychedelics,and the presence and personal
power that that connected mewith.
(23:36):
It was many, many moons ago, butit shaped me in a really big
way.
And because of it, myrelationship to the unseen,
which is what we're talkingabout here, whatever your
personal flavor or style is, Ithink ultimately witchcraft is
just that, and that mine wasliberated through a direct
(23:58):
experience, particularly againthrough psychedelics and those
journeys, those trips that Iwent on, they stripped away any,
programming, outside influence,any kind of intermediaries that
kept me from that own personalexperience and ultimately gave
(24:19):
me time and time again, afirsthand access to the divine.
It became a big part of myspirituality, and I want to draw
the parallel here to a big partof the context of the historical
witch was similarly motivated.
It was a rejecting of theinstitutional gatekeepers, the
(24:42):
mass religions, and choosing toconnect directly with the forces
of life, with ourselves, andwith the relationship between
them, that is where, in myexperience, real power comes
from.
And so I wanted to share myangle of it that again, I think
at its core witchcraft was bornthrough this rejecting of a
(25:09):
spiritual middleman and myAquarian version of that, to
each their of it being liberatedand unlocked through my journey
with psychedelics.
But whether through that orceremony, or breath, or other
visionary states or modalities,I think that the essence of
(25:29):
witchcraft is directrelationship with the mystery
and it's unfolding andrevealing.
And that ultimately, I thinkit's all about spells as this
process of becoming, and thisrelationship, just like in
alchemy, where it was a mirrorof transformational and
(25:52):
transmutation processes, ofthose happening in our own inner
world, in our own inner journeyand process, and how that feels
like magic, especially each intheir own right, but then to
experience them in reflection toeach other, in relationship to
each other, that they areoperating similarly.
(26:12):
As within, so without, arealters to our processes.
So that ultimately, I think theAquarian Age is inviting diverse
and unique versions of this,right?
Like again, to each their own,whatever it is for you, but that
ultimately it's about a process,an experience, a relationship
(26:33):
with intention andmanifestation.
It comes down to at the root, atthe foundation being that
simple.
And that for me, while as Isaid, I do feel this very deeply
coded and ingrained reverencefor traditional witchcraft, but
that for me in this life, when Ihave done spells by way of those
(26:59):
traditions, to me it's just feltalmost like bypassing the
process that I need to gothrough that makes me feel so
intimately connected with whatI'm calling in, and it's almost
like there's an emotional arcthat I need to go on that for
me, I end up distracting myselffrom if I engage in these
(27:23):
specific ways, but that those doa similar thing to the process
that works for me, whereultimately it's a process of
going through these differentaspects, like a journey of your
relationship to the thing thatyou want, to the thing that
you're envisioning and callingin.
And you can do that rituallythrough spell work, or you can
(27:45):
do that in lots of other ways.
For me, it looks like a processof, almost like the five stages
of grief, it's not necessarilylinear, but where I witness
myself in relationship to thething through longing, right?
And almost like the, thedesperation of wanting it so
bad, or through the doubts thatI have around it, or feeling
(28:07):
unworthy or like it's notpossible, through the
illumination of some of thebeliefs or thought patterns or
things that might be wired andin the way that I need to move
through and reprocess andrewire, through a process of
surrender ultimately to forcesbigger than and beyond my
(28:30):
control that wanna support mefor the cause of what I'm
calling in, and ultimatelyalways landing in this space of
neutral knowing that it is so.
It is so.
When you cast a spell, you aregoing through a process, a
similar reflection of a process,like a symbolic engaging in this
(28:52):
process that ultimately landsyou in the neutral knowing that
the spell has been cast and it'sinevitable and only a matter of
time before it then manifestswhat you've called in.
That neutral knowing.
Which for me, it just doesn'ttake me there to cast a spell
this life in the traditionalways.
(29:13):
I go through a different processto get to that similar place,
but that ultimately it's a placeof calm conviction.
It is so and so it will be.
And it is the point as I've seenwhere the magic does
materialize.
It's the threshold from thatinner process that we need to go
through to putting it out thereand it returning back to us
(29:36):
threefold, tenfold, whateverfold to bring us what we need
and want.
So for the Aquarian witch,manifestation does not have to
go through any certain process,there are no rules to how this
needs to happen.
The journey itself is the spell,whatever that looks like for you
to get to that point of calmconviction and neutral knowing
(29:58):
that it is so.
I mentioned in the beginning, Iam so connected with technology
and so many future facing thingsthat feel very deeply connected
to my spirituality, myconnection to myself, my
practice of witchcraft.
But that said, there is stillsuch a necessity of something
(30:23):
that the old ways wereabsolutely drenched in and
inseparable from, and that isthe earth connection, which is
ever more important now to stayconnected with in this
increasingly digital world.
As we expand through AI, throughthe algorithms, through the
(30:43):
information age, our stabilitydepends on staying synced with
the natural cycles, with theseasons, with the moon, with the
four elements and the fourdirections.
These aren't relics of old worldwitchcraft.
They are the OG operatingsystem, through which without
(31:05):
them magic does not exist.
It is the alignment with them,with the mirror of those forces,
with the material manifestationof those invisible but existing
forces that makes magicpossible.
And when I say it's yourrelationship with the unseen,
such a big part of it is howwe're able to anchor into it
(31:27):
through those natural cycles andrhythms and orientations, and
it's not something that we canescape from.
Again, transcend and include.
We're not leaving it behind.
It's something where we almostneed to have, as we reach for
the future, one foot always inthe soil, like a foot in both
(31:48):
worlds, to be able to reallystay relevant as witches in the
Aquarium Age.
I mentioned that for me, I'm alittle bit of an Aquarian weirdo
when it comes to my relationshipwith technology, somewhat akin
to a beloved obsession.
But for me, the digital realm isabsolutely a mirror of
(32:10):
consciousness.
And I think that AI can be usedfor so many things, but it can
be used as an oracle, as a toolthat amplifies our own
intuition, our reflections, ourability to make connections
between things and to co-createthe reality and to envision what
(32:32):
we're calling in when again, weapproach it intentionally,
consciously, these tools canaccelerate our self-knowledge,
our creative expression, the gapbetween identifying something in
the unseen and making it realand manifest in the material.
These things are notantithetical to magic.
(32:55):
They have the capacity to be anextension of it.
I acknowledge as well they havethe capacity too, it goes both
ways, everything's beingamplified and they can be used
for dark as well as for light.
Darkness scales just as easilyas light does.
And that amplification goes bothways.
(33:15):
But as I see it, the future ismagical, but only if we enter
into it with self intimacy,awareness and discernment.
I wanna circle back to Scorpio,the Age of the Witch, the
Scorpio season that this episodeis airing in, and that the witch
archetype has always held bothcreation and destruction, light
(33:38):
and dark.
And I'm speaking in this episodeto the necessity of knowing both
within yourself because theexpansion that we're living
through right now, the openingof AI and everything that's
speeding up and hurling ustoward it, it honestly is just
amplifying whatever's active.
(33:59):
So without self relationship,technology becomes a kind of
possession, right?
But with self relationship, itbecomes a tool and a very
powerful one.
So it's all about integration toprotect yourself from these
potentially troublesome, darkpossibilities and to ultimately
(34:22):
be at cause for wholeness toward yourself against that.
So I mentioned this is just asmuch a share and a revealing of
my relationship with magic as itis an invitation.
We are no longer isolatedmystics.
This is the Age of Aquarius.
We are network magicians.
Witchcraft is no longer just arebellion.
(34:45):
It is a remembrance of our roleas co-creators, and it is a huge
part of the age that we are allentering into.
I wanna invite everyonelistening to this episode to
just keep practicing thisawareness, most importantly, in
whatever way works for you, tosee every thought, every choice,
(35:08):
every synchronicity that comesinto your field as an ongoing
dialogue with creation.
Because that shit multiplies, itcreates momentum and ultimately,
whatever your version of it, thespell of the witch is awareness.
The craft is our play andexperimentation.
(35:30):
And we are all wired forwitchcraft, the Aquarian way.
We truly are living in wild,wondrous times where reality is
listening, where the invisibleis updating in real time through
us.
And that's the real Aquarianspell.
So stay conscious while theworld recodes, play your role
(35:54):
and keep one hand on the earthand one in the ethers.
You do not have to know everystep.
You do not have to be taughtevery aspect of how you do this,
you just need to stay inrelationship with whatever is
being revealed to you.
That's the work, that's thegift, and that's what it means
(36:15):
to be wired for witchcraft,which I believe we all are,
maybe not by name.
Call it what you want.
So keep watching for reality'swinks, the ripples of what
you've put out there, thereflections that are trying to
communicate back to you througheverything.

It is Scorpio season, the veil'sfeeling thin, where endings and
openings dance.
Once again, the candles areflickering, data streams hum,
which is an algorithms beatingone drum.
From cauldrons to code, themagic's evolved.
Old ways dissolve, new puzzlesget solved.
(01:19):
We're wired and wild, both humanand star.
One hand on the circuit, onehand on the scar.
Intentions are signals,realities tuned to the frequency
we consciously attune.
Nature still whispers throughfiber and flame, reminding our
power's not here to be tamed.
(01:40):
The spell is awareness.
The craft is our play.
Let's talk how it works, theAquarion way.
The idea for this episode camebecause I was reflecting on what
my unique relationship to andversion of witchcraft is.
As you may or may not know, I ambranded Cosmic Biz Witch, and
(02:04):
it's always been interesting toown that and to be connected
with that as an archetype.
In my brand because myrelationship to it is not
traditional.
It's different, and feeling intohow those differences really, I
think come down to me being soAquarian and that nothing I do
(02:28):
is very conventional ortraditional.
Most every way that I approachanything is very
individualistic, is some kind ofexperimentation, some kind of
play to find what's mine andwhat really works for me.
And my relationship towitchcraft is no different,
(02:49):
which as an Aquarian is alsovery woven with the times, the
technology, the tools that areavailable to us in this modern
day and age that I think is allpart and parcel of my unique
positioning around the practiceof witchcraft, and I actually
(03:11):
put it into kind of a succinctblurb that I want to head this
episode with and then continueobviously to flesh out in
various ways to unpack what Imean here.
I define Aquarian Age witchcraftas our relationship to the
unseen forces that animate thisworld and to our not yet
(03:36):
manifest vision for our realityhere through the lens of our
wiring that makes sense of it toexperience and engage it.
And this creates the openingthen that this episode is about
my personal relationship towitchcraft, that also kind of
naturally creates an invitationas what Aquarian Age witchcraft
(04:02):
is, and this invitation toeveryone that is here and a part
of this time to evolve with itin the ways that I have come to
orient to it as someone that isso Aquarian.
Because we are in an era whereconsciousness has wifi, where
the unseen really does, ifyou're paying attention, speak
(04:26):
in algorithms, insynchronicities and in pings.
It's all so intricatelyconnected where the witch once
upon a time, the archetype thatwe know no longer hides in the
woods in her hovel or castle,right?
She builds in the cloud, but hermagic is still rooted in Earth,
(04:49):
and this episode is just as muchhow important it is to maintain
that connection.
She still breathes with theelements.
She still remembers that energyis matter and that intention is
code.
Because witchcraft isn't justabout specific spells anymore.
(05:10):
It's about systems.
It's about awareness, and it'sabout the sacred circuitry, if
you will, that connects us all.
In this episode, we're gonna getinto why traditional witchcraft
still feels like home for me.
And what happens when anAquarian rewrites the spell, or
the script, how synchronicityand serendipity are the new
(05:34):
sigils of our time, what itmeans to hold creative power in
a world of AI, algorithms, andamplified energy.
Everything's getting turned upand sped up.
Why staying rooted in nature andin the elements is the most
radical tech hygiene we have.
(05:57):
How the dark and the light bothlive in all of us, and what
happens when you integrate thembefore the world forces you to.
And how all of this, the magic,the matter, the mystery that
Scorpio points to is simply thepractice of being in
relationship with what you can'tyet see.
(06:19):
This is the season of the witch.
If you're listening to thisright after it aired, we just
had Halloween and the atmosphereis that Scorpio season
spookiness veil thinning timewhen the collective curiosity
about and connection to witchesand witchcraft is at its peak.
(06:44):
So no wonder this is where myreflections are going and why
this episode was born.
So I wanna speak for a minutejust to really personalize my
resonance with and connection tothat archetype of Scorpio, of
the witch, that for me, hasalways felt so familiar second
(07:07):
nature, ancestral insofar asit's a relationship of me to my
past, past versions of myself,past lineages.
And I've always attributed thisto that my South Node is in
Scorpio in the first house.
So if you're not familiar withthe South Node, that's like your
(07:30):
past life remembrance and rootsand what feels, again, kind of
like second nature, almost likeunconsciously obvious to you.
And so because of that, allthings which related in the
realm of Scorpio were neveranything for me in this life
that I felt like I had to learn.
(07:51):
Like it always felt like somekind of remembrance, like the
spells, the modalities, all ofthe aspects of what I would come
across as traditionalwitchcraft, didn't feel
compelling to me in like a, oh,I need to learn this.
Right?
It was more like, oh yeah, that,like that, that, that feels very
(08:12):
close to home.
So whether it's in, you know,rituals, in Sigils, in the
language and orientation towardintention setting and
relationship with energy, or,for me, another big one has
always been like tending altersand how I organize my spaces and
(08:34):
how that has always felt like aspiritual practice for me to do
that.
Which my Moon is in Virgo, soI've always seen that as part of
that placement of my birthmoment and that I've always just
felt in relationship to myintentions that are then, of
course, connected to that whichI don't yet have, can't yet see,
(08:58):
but feel a connection with, somefuture timeline that I'm calling
here now by putting myself inthat as if it's present.
And for me as well, all of myAquarius, which is obviously a
big theme in this episode of myrelationship to these things as
well, is in my third house ofcommunication, of the words that
(09:22):
we use.
So a well crafted intention hasalways felt so powerful to me.
And of course, spells arespoken.
You know, it's the root of theword spelling and points to the
power of our words to create ourreality.
So all of this, again, has justalways felt so natural to me.
(09:45):
But of course, as is the topicof this episode, thanks to my
Sun and Mercury and Jupiter allbeing in Aquarius, what's
actually felt authentic to methis life, alongside and almost
as an evolution of, or extensionof that familiarity with
(10:06):
witchcraft is like doing it myown way.
And just like with anythingelse, like not really feeling
all that much desire to embracetradition, right?
An example of this, there was atime that I created something
called Astroglyphs, and it verymuch felt like a version of
sigils that I would create basedon the astrological symbols of
(10:32):
the moment.
So the prominent planets andsigns, I would bring them all
together, digitally of course,and create one sigil glyph that
I called an Astroglyph, to beable to connect more deeply with
the energetics of the moment.
So, you know, even my art, it'sjust felt so infused with
(10:53):
everything that I've done, thatit's been some albeit
alternative form of spellwork,and also through my digital
design, which is a huge part ofmy artistic expression, from
even when I was a little kid, Iwas blessed to have a grandpa
that like always had the newestsoftware and I would create
(11:14):
digital art on the computerscreen.
And that process, that creativeprocess of design has always
carried this like knowingintentional frequency for me as
well.
So takeaway here being, I wantedto share that while traditional
witchcraft feels like home forme, that my expression of it,
(11:38):
has always felt like it belongsto a different age, right?
And maybe this Aquarian one, asyou will soon see, and with the
invitation that I'm openingthrough my experience of what
witchcraft has come to me forme.
So I'm talking about this bridgebetween the familiar and the
future, which again, for me, mypersonal relationship with that
(12:01):
bridge has always felt like aconnection between my Scorpio,
which is my South Node there,Saturn, Pluto, and my Rising
sign, all in the first househere, I do have Pluto in the
12th, but in the first househere of like, not just the
witch, which is Scorpio, butfirst house like witch in her
(12:23):
castle, right?
Like a very like solo personalkind of place and experience of
that archetype in relationshipto that Aquarian Sun, Mercury,
Jupiter wiring in my third houseof communication.
So while I have like a deepreverence and love for and
(12:44):
honoring of the old ways, theherbs, the symbols, the circle,
the way that we cast the spellsin a very specific way to be
able to manifest what we desire,my magic this life is wired a
little bit differently.
(13:05):
And of course not every witchfits the stereotype of the
archetype, but I'm gonna runwith it to differentiate myself
as well in that I don't seekmystery in secrecy, right?
A big reason why I am visibleonline and my brand is Cosmic
Biz Witch and it's a veryoutward facing world connecting,
(13:30):
systems oriented way that Irelate to the mystery and my
relationship to it.
And I don't feel like I need todo certain specific rituals
like, you know, lighting candlesto summon.
I feel like for me it's more ofcoding my intentions through my
(13:52):
processes, through my Virgomundane life and my thought
patterns that feel so connectedto the frequencies that I'm
wanting to manifest my realitythrough.
I know Aquarian weirdo here.
But magic for me feels lessabout casting and more about
(14:15):
connecting and authenticallyliberating and knowing myself
through my desires and kind of,you know, in an Aquarian way,
those like left field thoughtsand sparks that come through
that make me realize like, oh, Ididn't even know that was in
there, but like, yes and moreplease.
(14:37):
So it really is just like, youknow, evolution itself.
Not the old way was wrong.
This new way is right.
Evolution is always to includeand transcend, right, to bring
with and adapt and evolve intothe future that we're moving
into.
So the Aquarian witch does notreject the old ways.
(14:59):
She reprograms them for herself,her unique orientation and
individuality as well as for thecollective circuitry.
Now, I wanna move into the ideaof synchronicity as the new
sigil.
So I mentioned that ScorpioSouth Node in the first house my
(15:21):
past life, I was a witch in hercastle, right?
Removed from society and headdown in my alchemy, in my
spells, in whatever I wasworking on and focusing on.
Traditionally, witchcraft wasmore of a private alchemy
exception of course being thecovens and the crafts and the
(15:44):
ways that we came together, butit was not a very public thing
for obvious reasons.
But we have images of thearchetype with the cauldron in
the lab, in the dimly lit roomwhere transformation was brewed
more or less in isolation.
(16:05):
But in the Aquarian Age, theproverbial cauldron is
everywhere.
And this is why my focus now isless on zeroing in on something
like a sigil to focus my energyand my magic, but more about my
relationship to synchronicityand serendipity and how whatever
(16:28):
my focus is through a hall ofmirrors kind of electricity is
actually connected to everyother thing.
And when I can see and be withmy intention in a way that I see
it everywhere and in everything,that is how I relate to
(16:50):
synchronicity and serendipityand it feels like such a
cornerstone for me of myrelationship to, and my version
of practicing witchcraft.
So not something that Ispecifically isolate into, you
know, drawing an ink using theexample of the sigil here.
But something that gets revealedthrough my interactions and my
(17:14):
experiences, so that when I amin the world and exposed to new
inputs and letting myself bumpup against life, and life bump
up against me, the magic happensin my reflections, in those
little pings and in theresonance that I feel through
those little micro revealings.
(17:36):
So in this way, the world itselfis now the ritual space and
stage and reality at large isthe new spell circle.
So I wanna offer this Aquarianreframe around conscious
co-creation.
One of the tenets of the age ofAquarius that we're entering
(17:56):
into is unity through diversity.
So having an intimate andauthentic relationship to you
and your path, and the way youthink and perceive the world,
and not needing to conform, weleft the age of Pisces, where to
be in community was aboutconforming.
(18:20):
Enter the cult and everybodydressed in white robes and
talking and speaking the same,or even the new age community
that I was a part of for a timewhere weren't wearing white, we
were wearing psychedelicinspired clothing, but we all
did kind of dress the same andtalk about the same things,
right?
So stepping away from that intoa very individual unique
(18:45):
expression of what it means tobe you.
And then through that, to beable to connect with each other
from that place.
So a new octave of community: unity through diversity. (18:52):
undefined
And I really think that that'ssuch a big part of the shift,
right?
Like it used to be that toreally be in connection with
that part of yourself, thatdeeply authentic version of you
that maybe wouldn't fit in theworld at large.
You had to be more in a bubble.
(19:13):
You had to create these circlesto step inside of to really be
able to let your magic out andbe in relationship with it.
But now the Aquarian Age witchknows that reality is
responsive, we're living in adifferent time, and it's a time
where everybody is invited toparticipate.
(19:34):
You don't have to identify as awitch to be connected with these
things, to be a co-creator, aconscious co-creator of your
reality, and the one that we'reall sharing.
And so, you know what used to beframed in specific ways around
how spells are designed toinfluence and manifest in
(19:58):
certain ways, that idea ofintentional influence, a very
powerful one, is something thatI think is being democratized
essentially, or not sure whatthe word is, but like, you know,
it's no longer the realm of justthe specifically archetypal or
traditional witch.
It's something available toeveryone and it's how we all are
(20:20):
able to co-create with theuniverse as living beings
embodied here, not justwitnessing it, not falling
victim to it.
And so I hope this episode aswell serves as a reminder of
regardless of what yourrelationship is to witchcraft,
which likely you didn't make itfar in this episode if you have
an aversion to it.
(20:41):
That said, if you did, hi,welcome, glad you're here.
You don't have to be a witch toplay this game.
And just like witches castspells knowing their power to
influence the elements that makeup this realm, we all have the
potential, the capability toshape reality through our
(21:03):
consciousness, throughintentional design, and through
where we place our attention,which if you haven't been paying
any, that is one of the mostvaluable currencies of this
modern digital age.
And Aquarian Age witchcraftisn't about control.
(21:23):
When we think of the archetypeof the witch, if you don't
identify as one, you probablythink of dark or black magic and
manipulation and spell castingto wield our influence, even if
it isn't for the greater good orthe object of our spell would
(21:44):
not agree or choose it or be inconsent.
That is not the kind ofwitchcraft that I'm talking
about here.
It's not about control, it'sabout collaboration.
And it's ultimately the practiceof knowing that you are a
variable in every equation ofyour life, and trusting that
(22:05):
awareness enough to play yourrole with care, with curiosity
and with responsibility, theresponsibility that comes with
that knowing.
If this conversation is lightingsomething up in you, if you are
feeling your own wiring in allof this, if you feel like I'm
(22:26):
speaking to you.
Come join me inside the CosmicCurrent.
It's my weekly newsletter lovedrop on money, on magic, and on
cosmic alignment with thetransits, the cosmic currents as
a business owner.
A way to stay synced up withyour own rhythm, with the cosmic
(22:46):
cycles, and with your reality asthe stars keep shifting.
Because this is what we dothere, we practice Aquarian Age
witchcraft in real time: noticing, aligning and (22:55):
undefined
co-creating with intention, theworld we wanna live in, and the
business vehicles we want to betraveling through.
Next up, I want to share alittle bit more about my
personal experience andrelationship to all of this,
(23:16):
which is that for me, it's allabout the direct experience and
for me, that came in partthrough my history and
exploration with psychedelics,and the presence and personal
power that that connected mewith.
(23:36):
It was many, many moons ago, butit shaped me in a really big
way.
And because of it, myrelationship to the unseen,
which is what we're talkingabout here, whatever your
personal flavor or style is, Ithink ultimately witchcraft is
just that, and that mine wasliberated through a direct
(23:58):
experience, particularly againthrough psychedelics and those
journeys, those trips that Iwent on, they stripped away any,
programming, outside influence,any kind of intermediaries that
kept me from that own personalexperience and ultimately gave
(24:19):
me time and time again, afirsthand access to the divine.
It became a big part of myspirituality, and I want to draw
the parallel here to a big partof the context of the historical
witch was similarly motivated.
It was a rejecting of theinstitutional gatekeepers, the
(24:42):
mass religions, and choosing toconnect directly with the forces
of life, with ourselves, andwith the relationship between
them, that is where, in myexperience, real power comes
from.
And so I wanted to share myangle of it that again, I think
at its core witchcraft was bornthrough this rejecting of a
(25:09):
spiritual middleman and myAquarian version of that, to
each their of it being liberatedand unlocked through my journey
with psychedelics.
But whether through that orceremony, or breath, or other
visionary states or modalities,I think that the essence of
(25:29):
witchcraft is directrelationship with the mystery
and it's unfolding andrevealing.
And that ultimately, I thinkit's all about spells as this
process of becoming, and thisrelationship, just like in
alchemy, where it was a mirrorof transformational and
(25:52):
transmutation processes, ofthose happening in our own inner
world, in our own inner journeyand process, and how that feels
like magic, especially each intheir own right, but then to
experience them in reflection toeach other, in relationship to
each other, that they areoperating similarly.
(26:12):
As within, so without, arealters to our processes.
So that ultimately, I think theAquarian Age is inviting diverse
and unique versions of this,right?
Like again, to each their own,whatever it is for you, but that
ultimately it's about a process,an experience, a relationship
(26:33):
with intention andmanifestation.
It comes down to at the root, atthe foundation being that
simple.
And that for me, while as Isaid, I do feel this very deeply
coded and ingrained reverencefor traditional witchcraft, but
that for me in this life, when Ihave done spells by way of those
(26:59):
traditions, to me it's just feltalmost like bypassing the
process that I need to gothrough that makes me feel so
intimately connected with whatI'm calling in, and it's almost
like there's an emotional arcthat I need to go on that for
me, I end up distracting myselffrom if I engage in these
(27:23):
specific ways, but that those doa similar thing to the process
that works for me, whereultimately it's a process of
going through these differentaspects, like a journey of your
relationship to the thing thatyou want, to the thing that
you're envisioning and callingin.
And you can do that rituallythrough spell work, or you can
(27:45):
do that in lots of other ways.
For me, it looks like a processof, almost like the five stages
of grief, it's not necessarilylinear, but where I witness
myself in relationship to thething through longing, right?
And almost like the, thedesperation of wanting it so
bad, or through the doubts thatI have around it, or feeling
(28:07):
unworthy or like it's notpossible, through the
illumination of some of thebeliefs or thought patterns or
things that might be wired andin the way that I need to move
through and reprocess andrewire, through a process of
surrender ultimately to forcesbigger than and beyond my
(28:30):
control that wanna support mefor the cause of what I'm
calling in, and ultimatelyalways landing in this space of
neutral knowing that it is so.
It is so.
When you cast a spell, you aregoing through a process, a
similar reflection of a process,like a symbolic engaging in this
(28:52):
process that ultimately landsyou in the neutral knowing that
the spell has been cast and it'sinevitable and only a matter of
time before it then manifestswhat you've called in.
That neutral knowing.
Which for me, it just doesn'ttake me there to cast a spell
this life in the traditionalways.
(29:13):
I go through a different processto get to that similar place,
but that ultimately it's a placeof calm conviction.
It is so and so it will be.
And it is the point as I've seenwhere the magic does
materialize.
It's the threshold from thatinner process that we need to go
through to putting it out thereand it returning back to us
(29:36):
threefold, tenfold, whateverfold to bring us what we need
and want.
So for the Aquarian witch,manifestation does not have to
go through any certain process,there are no rules to how this
needs to happen.
The journey itself is the spell,whatever that looks like for you
to get to that point of calmconviction and neutral knowing
(29:58):
that it is so.
I mentioned in the beginning, Iam so connected with technology
and so many future facing thingsthat feel very deeply connected
to my spirituality, myconnection to myself, my
practice of witchcraft.
But that said, there is stillsuch a necessity of something
(30:23):
that the old ways wereabsolutely drenched in and
inseparable from, and that isthe earth connection, which is
ever more important now to stayconnected with in this
increasingly digital world.
As we expand through AI, throughthe algorithms, through the
(30:43):
information age, our stabilitydepends on staying synced with
the natural cycles, with theseasons, with the moon, with the
four elements and the fourdirections.
These aren't relics of old worldwitchcraft.
They are the OG operatingsystem, through which without
(31:05):
them magic does not exist.
It is the alignment with them,with the mirror of those forces,
with the material manifestationof those invisible but existing
forces that makes magicpossible.
And when I say it's yourrelationship with the unseen,
such a big part of it is howwe're able to anchor into it
(31:27):
through those natural cycles andrhythms and orientations, and
it's not something that we canescape from.
Again, transcend and include.
We're not leaving it behind.
It's something where we almostneed to have, as we reach for
the future, one foot always inthe soil, like a foot in both
(31:48):
worlds, to be able to reallystay relevant as witches in the
Aquarium Age.
I mentioned that for me, I'm alittle bit of an Aquarian weirdo
when it comes to my relationshipwith technology, somewhat akin
to a beloved obsession.
But for me, the digital realm isabsolutely a mirror of
(32:10):
consciousness.
And I think that AI can be usedfor so many things, but it can
be used as an oracle, as a toolthat amplifies our own
intuition, our reflections, ourability to make connections
between things and to co-createthe reality and to envision what
(32:32):
we're calling in when again, weapproach it intentionally,
consciously, these tools canaccelerate our self-knowledge,
our creative expression, the gapbetween identifying something in
the unseen and making it realand manifest in the material.
These things are notantithetical to magic.
(32:55):
They have the capacity to be anextension of it.
I acknowledge as well they havethe capacity too, it goes both
ways, everything's beingamplified and they can be used
for dark as well as for light.
Darkness scales just as easilyas light does.
And that amplification goes bothways.
(33:15):
But as I see it, the future ismagical, but only if we enter
into it with self intimacy,awareness and discernment.
I wanna circle back to Scorpio,the Age of the Witch, the
Scorpio season that this episodeis airing in, and that the witch
archetype has always held bothcreation and destruction, light
(33:38):
and dark.
And I'm speaking in this episodeto the necessity of knowing both
within yourself because theexpansion that we're living
through right now, the openingof AI and everything that's
speeding up and hurling ustoward it, it honestly is just
amplifying whatever's active.
(33:59):
So without self relationship,technology becomes a kind of
possession, right?
But with self relationship, itbecomes a tool and a very
powerful one.
So it's all about integration toprotect yourself from these
potentially troublesome, darkpossibilities and to ultimately
(34:22):
be at cause for wholeness toward yourself against that.
So I mentioned this is just asmuch a share and a revealing of
my relationship with magic as itis an invitation.
We are no longer isolatedmystics.
This is the Age of Aquarius.
We are network magicians.
Witchcraft is no longer just arebellion.
(34:45):
It is a remembrance of our roleas co-creators, and it is a huge
part of the age that we are allentering into.
I wanna invite everyonelistening to this episode to
just keep practicing thisawareness, most importantly, in
whatever way works for you, tosee every thought, every choice,
(35:08):
every synchronicity that comesinto your field as an ongoing
dialogue with creation.
Because that shit multiplies, itcreates momentum and ultimately,
whatever your version of it, thespell of the witch is awareness.
The craft is our play andexperimentation.
(35:30):
And we are all wired forwitchcraft, the Aquarian way.
We truly are living in wild,wondrous times where reality is
listening, where the invisibleis updating in real time through
us.
And that's the real Aquarianspell.
So stay conscious while theworld recodes, play your role
(35:54):
and keep one hand on the earthand one in the ethers.
You do not have to know everystep.
You do not have to be taughtevery aspect of how you do this,
you just need to stay inrelationship with whatever is
being revealed to you.
That's the work, that's thegift, and that's what it means
(36:15):
to be wired for witchcraft,which I believe we all are,
maybe not by name.
Call it what you want.
So keep watching for reality'swinks, the ripples of what
you've put out there, thereflections that are trying to
communicate back to you througheverything.
And if you want a space to keeptending that rhythm, to stay in
(36:37):
right relationship and alignmentto those cycles as they turn,
you already know where to go.
The Cosmic Current is waitingfor you.
A reminder that your magic stillmatters, and that the world is
listening, especially as abusiness owner, we are creating
our reality every single day.
