Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hello everyone, Welcome back to empower your
soul.
I am here today with a dearfriend of mine.
You may have heard her in ourweather being, which is podcast
that was released not too longago, but this is Rachel, the
good witch of the Northeast girl.
Thank you so much for beinghere today.
Thank you for having me.
I'm so excited, oh, my goodness.
So for those of you that don'tknow or maybe miss the first
(00:22):
episode I had with Rachel, sheis a psychic medium, ancestral
healer and Oracle.
She uses a lot of cards andchanneling to help her clients
with their own path out ofdarkness and has found a huge
success in integrating physical,medical-based practices, such
as body work and metaphysicalwork to help clients feel
connected and in control oftheir own destiny.
And I have seen firsthand themagic that you do, Rachel,
(00:46):
Thanks.
So this is going to just be areally fun chat with Rachel and
I want you all to learn so muchabout Rachel because she is
literal magic and she's justeverything and I just love I.
I remember stalking you onsocial media before we were
friends, Rachel.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Really, I remember when you followed me, I was like
I've been looking for her.
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
It's so funny Cause I was like I just the good witch
of the Northeast is to me.
There's so much aboutwitchcraft, witchery that is has
such a negative connotation andyou just fucking call it out
right in the name.
And I love that about you,thanks, oh, my goodness.
So for those of you that areless familiar with you, like who
, who is Rachel?
What?
(01:35):
Like little background aboutyou, your, your history.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
That would be wonderful, if you don't mind,
Phenomenal.
So I started practicingwitchcraft.
Well, first of all, hi, I'mRachel, I, I.
I started, I started practicingwitchcraft in 2016, but started
really my healing journey andbecame Rachel in 2020, after the
birth of my daughter.
So I kind of stumbled alongwitchcraft for four years.
I started with Wicca and itfelt like almost right.
(02:01):
You know, like when you plug aC port into a regular charger,
you're like this doesn't quitefit.
And that now fast forward 10years and I'm like, oh shit,
that makes sense.
Why?
Cause it's so patriarchal, it'sso like, but I don't know.
Anyways, and then I so I did.
I was studying the craft off andon for four years and then I
(02:21):
have my daughter, had a reallybad bout of past postpartum
depression, anxiety, and soughtthe help of THC oil to help me
kind of ground that energy andheal that part of me.
I had been sober for 10 yearsbefore that and I accidentally
took too much Like.
(02:42):
They told me to take 10 dropsof this oil and I took 10
droppers full because I didn'tknow the difference.
Yeah, and then I woke up thenext day and I was like, oh my
God, I know things and it waslike spirit had pulled back,
Like I feel like I threw thebaby out with the bath water
when I was growing up and spiritpulled back the curtain and I
(03:04):
was like, oh my God, not only doI know things, I see things.
And I don't see thingstraditionally, like the way your
son sees spirit, but I see themlike in the third eye.
I see perspectives, I seethings come through to me in
italics, Like when someone'stalking to me, I can feel what
they're trying to say underneath.
You know their actual languagethat they use.
But I do this is my job, thisis what I do for work and I help
(03:28):
people heal a lot of.
I work with people that feelunseen.
I think I think it's a lot ofwhat I do is I help people feel
seen, feel safe, especially inthis community.
Like when I started, it was sogatekeepy, it was so closed and
off and you couldn't talk aboutit and everyone thought you were
crazy and I was like, well, ifyou already think I'm crazy, I'm
(03:49):
not going to keep the shit in.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah, and I think that is just a testament to your
name too, because you are,because you were like I'm the
good witch and I just rememberyou you mentioning um.
Rachel and I are really goodfriends outside of this Best
friends.
Maybe she's throwing the heartsat me, and what's so cool about
you is you are the antithesisof, I think, what a lot of
(04:14):
people think a witch is.
Yes, like it blows me away too,because I've actually had
readings where and I've toldthis to you, yeah, I'm not a
witch where the people have saidI've never had a life as like a
witch, and I think it's thatsense of the word, though, of
what people interpret witch tobe right, and then, for some
reason, I just keep getting thisis going to be 100% spirit led
(04:37):
interview.
I love this so much because Ijust keep getting the image of
how untraditional you are andhow that just draws in the right
people, and what they keepshowing me is the cannabis
festival that you had a booth atright, and the Harvest Cup in
Worcester, massachusetts, andhow you had a booth there and
(04:59):
all of these other readers thatare there had like no clients
and you had like a revolvingdoor of clients.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
There I read like 44 people over the weekend.
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
They, they got to experience the magic of Rachel
and I and and I think that wassuch a turning point for you in
realizing the fucking power thatyou have.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I'm just like being myself, because that was I
always thought you had to likefit in a box and be.
You know, you had to ascend andyou had to do these things and
I was like, well, I'm nevergoing to fucking get there
because I'm an ancestral worker.
I I am very aware of who I comefrom, where I come from and I
was, and what aligns with me andmy energy and I'm, like you
know, doing doing a meditationevery.
(05:42):
I love to meditate, I love yogaso much, but I am not the Yogi
that wakes up at 4am and holdstree pose, like I'm too
scattered for that.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
You preach, I am the same way.
No, if it's slow, I'm all set.
You talk about that all thetime, oh my goodness.
So let's talk about theancestral work.
Then Can you tell me a littlebit more, because I am for those
.
I mean, all you listeners knowI'm more in mediumship space,
akashic record space, shamanicspace, and you have this whole
(06:11):
other ancestral modality thatI'm obsessed with.
So, in your opinion, or in yourwords, how would you define
ancestral healing?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
So a lot of.
So.
It's such like a.
I love talking about this withyou too, because I feel like
what we do is very much twosides of the same coin.
Like when I met you I was like,oh my God, that's what I want
to do, and then I was so.
Ancestral healing for me isreally, when you break it down,
it's trauma healing throughepigenetics.
So it's looking at the peoplewho have come before us, looking
at their patterns,understanding their stories and
(06:42):
moving from there, because Iknow in the brain development
world you know, in anunderdeveloped brain we have
such a childish perspective onthings.
We take everything in,everything's our fault, all of
these things, and I think thatas our ancestors existed and
things happened, there wasn't alot of room for healing in the
terms that we can heal now.
When it comes to epigeneticsLike I said, that's my favorite
(07:05):
word to use Because trauma canbe passed down, the same way eye
color can be passed down.
We're formed in the bodies ofour grandmothers.
That was my favorite breakingpoint for ancestral healing for
me, because I know that Irespond to stuff that I have no
business.
Responding to Stuff wouldtrigger me, that I'm like this
is not mine, but I would thinkto my grandmother and think of
(07:26):
how she lived and I was like, oh, okay, and for years my family
we're super Irish, so we don'ttalk a lot about traumas or
experiences or anything likethat and the core of what we do,
I feel like mediumship saysthat no one truly dies until
they're not talked about anymore.
And for my family, like as soonas someone dies, people are
(07:48):
like deuces bye and like I feellike once I connected in, I have
like 10 generations back, comeflying forward of like this is
who we are, this is what we'remeant to do.
There's something in the Druidmagic called Celtic seership and
that's really what I've clungto, because it's all about
understanding perspectives,patterns, things like that.
It's something that they didgot thousands of years ago and
(08:12):
it's been lost over time.
So for me, ancestral healing inmy line is tapping back into
that, honoring that part of mein this world.
Now, you know.
And so when I work with clientscause the clients will come to
me they're like I have a curseon my family.
You know Like, okay, well, doyou guys have money troubles?
Do you have like an insecurityaround love?
Like when people use the wordcurse.
(08:34):
It shows up.
But it shows up as attachmentwounds, as trauma responses and
stuff like that.
It's not like you know.
Like you know the thing withAdriana like your chicken shall
never prosper, like that affectsfood.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Oh wow, I just put that together about the money
thing I got to talk to her aboutthat.
This is what it's like chattingwith Rachel and I.
We're just constantly remindingeach other of things.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
We always have notebooks next to us and like
just parallel, just like goingoff into, like the deep end, but
it's always connected.
So when people that's what Ihelp people with their trauma
healing, like one of my favoritethings to do and my favorite
ways to give back is I go intoabout once a quarter there's a
rehab in Danvers, massachusetts.
I go into and talk aboutancestral healing and substance
abuse because, I mentioned atthe beginning, I was sober for
(09:18):
10 years.
I had a drinking problem.
I was in AA, went to rehab, didall the things and their form
of higher power didn't work andthere was no room for healing of
the human condition.
It was you follow this way andyou do this and if you know
anything about me, I can't dothat.
And then I started looking at mygrandfather, who struggled with
(09:38):
epilepsy his whole life in thetwenties.
So as a man he couldn't sayanything because he would have
been shipped off to a psych ward.
He went, served in the military.
It was like his.
Once I understood his storyfrom the from this perspective,
I was like that's why he drank.
Oh shit, oh okay, and like.
And then I looked to hisgrandfather because you know and
(10:00):
like, it's just, it's all ofthese like it's a domino effect.
So my favorite ways to giveback is going in and talking
about substance abuse and traumahealing, like what was your,
what was your grandmother likeyou know, who raised you as a
child?
What are your coping skills?
Because I want this one man whowas, like you know, I'm a
junkie and a liar my whole lifeand I was like spirit's telling
me that if you just learn liketwo or need to steal to survive
(10:22):
anymore because you're a 50 yearold man who can go and like,
make ends, make, you are capableenough to make things work.
But someone told you when youwere a child, who should have
brought you up, that you had todo this and you could see the
wheels clicking inside of himand he's been sober since.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Holy shit, it's crazy , that is absolutely insane and
it's just.
I have to echo that and I have.
We've never had thisconversation really before, but
it's just so interesting, you,you bring that up because I I
went to therapy, right Like Idid therapy for a few years for
my both of my maternal linesbeing like alcoholics,
(11:01):
narcissistics, right All of thebad stuff, right, and so there's
so many things going in my headright now, rachel, based on
what you're saying, right,because I think I had five
appointments with this therapistand I was like you're not going
to help me.
You're not going to help me.
There's nothing that you cansay to me that I haven't already
mulled over in my brain.
And come to that conclusionWith spirit Right brain.
(11:27):
And come to that conclusionwith spirit right right, because
what I needed to do was healthe family lines, because I knew
it wasn't me and I couldn'tfigure out how to get it out of
me right and so, because it'swrapped up in your DNA, right,
right, and until I did thisspiritual work, yep, there was
no hope for me to solve this.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Absolutely, and that's how our ancestors and for
most of us it feels like we hadsome split in our lineages of
spirits, showing me four to sixgenerations back.
For most of us, so like what?
And for the couple of theclients that I've been able to
trace back, some of it's beenthe witch trials through Europe.
Some of it's been Christianitytaking over, like when people
(12:04):
had to flee and hide.
For some people it was slavery.
When some people you know it'sthere's, we can pinpoint where
their magic was hidden.
But for a lot of us we can't dothat and we just kind of walk
around as these angry,disconnected people because
we're told, at least in America,we're told you should be
Christian and this is thereligion you should follow.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
And if you are of Druid descent, that's not going
to align with you, right, rightand it's just it all.
It's all coming together in myhead right now because all of
these I'm going to say morenegative traits that a lot of
people carry are copingmechanisms for not being able to
one for them and theirancestors being able to be who
they are and because so you'd besocially shunned, you'd be
tossed in a mental assignment,asylums, right, like, so, like
(12:51):
all of these things are copingmechanisms for from your
ancestors, of not being able tospeak and live their truth
there's home so muchhomosexuality in the ancestral
lineage that I'll click in withsomeone and they're like oh, oh,
my grandfather was so abusiveand he cheated on women all the
time, and like I'll get a reallygraphic image in my head and
I'm like your grandfather washomosexual and had to repress it
(13:14):
.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Wow, I'm telling you I can think of at least 12
people over the last five yearsthat like that has come through
where there's been homosexualityand it's been repressed and
abused and it's like ever whocares?
Like you know, love is love,love.
And then they've ascended to apoint.
The ancestors, their ancestors,have ascended to a point where
they recognize that love is justlove, but there's no
(13:38):
limitations right, becausethat's all there is in the
spirit world.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
There is none of that in the spirit world.
It's all just love.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I had this one.
He was a great grandfather.
He came in he was almost angrybecause he lived his life as a
lie and he couldn't.
You know, he like we keptconnecting on like it was a man
and we were talking about likesexual connection and things
like that and he was like he'slike it and it feels like I'm
missing a piece.
And his great-grandfather camein and said it was the missing
(14:06):
piece about sexual connectionand spirit.
Oh, so he's like.
I never experienced that typeof sexual intimacy.
His great-grandfather wanted tobe with men and he couldn't.
And it was like he was likerobbed of that soulful spiritual
connection in his lifetime.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yeah, can you hang on ?
Can you say that differently?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
my brain is like so, like for a lot of like I've
spanned it asm can be theclosest way that we connect with
god.
And this this guy said that youknow he, he wasn't able to kind
of satisfy this kind of cravinghe had.
He's like, you know, I don'tknow if I need a sexual healer
and I was like, oh, there'ssomething in onto this, like
there's something here.
I do think you might need somesort of like sexual spiritual
(14:48):
healing.
And then his grandfather camein and was like, yeah, I wanted
to be with men and that was theonly way he felt safe and like,
when we look at masculine andfeminine wounds, that makes
sense.
And like his mother, so it wasthe man's great great
grandmother was very abusive,very narcissistic, so there was
no masculine protection and hisgreat grandfather just wanted to
(15:10):
feel safe.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
So I have to ask you how did you do this?
Sexual spiritual healing.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I was like I don't know how to do this.
I feel like there's somethinghere but like maybe you meditate
with some sacral music.
And then I do talk a lot aboutsolo sex magic with people
because like I don't know if I'msure there are sexual healers
in like the sex work world.
I'm sure they're, I'm so prosex work, but I don't know any.
So I was like solo sex magic,hey yo, masturbation with
(15:38):
intention.
And he's like looking at me,like I'm like I know you didn't
ask for this, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
But I think that's so cool because you're so outside
of the box of like so manydifferent people that I know and
you really just 100%,inherently trust spirit and
where they go and what they tellyou and you really are of the
sense of like rituals or healing.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Yeah, so so healing Right which is through me to
Catholicism when I was a kid waslike ceremony.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Oh, okay, and maybe this is why I am so anti
ceremony, because I came fromCatholicism.
Yeah, I was a literal altargirl, so I would have to learn
and practice and ring the bellsand like bring that, um, bring
up the, the, the body and bloodof christ, right like up up onto
the.
Oh, we're the weird ones.
Yeah, I almost fainted one day.
(16:33):
That probably says a lot.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Um, while I was, while I was doing altar service,
um, oh, my god, it does, thoughthat tracks so hard because I
disassociated throughcatholicism, because I was like
this is bullshit and I feel likesame.
Your higher self was like no,thank you, yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
That was the day I quit, by the way.
Yeah, I was like, because I waslike I'm like, even as a little
girl, following those signs,being like, okay, why did I?
Cause I felt fine.
And then I felt really dizzythat one day.
And I remember like, gettingout, oh, look at you, eyes
tearing up.
I remember getting up in themiddle of the service and
(17:13):
there's two of us right and theyrecruited girls because they
couldn't get enough boys in thecommunity to do this right.
So they recruited girls and mebeing good girl, let me get my
um, you know, perfectionist mode, let me get my positive energy
and also the benefits from yourmom.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Your mom is gonna love that oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I was.
I was an author girl.
Love that.
Yeah, Um, but yeah, that's um.
So that's so interesting, CauseI'm so anti-ceremony, yeah, and
I like I teach it in mybeginner's mediumship class.
I'm like, here's all the thingsthat everybody else does.
I don't do any of this.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Remember the first time we, we did that spell
together.
I remember you were like, howdo you cast a circle?
And I was like, oh, I say it inmy head and this is how I do it
.
And you were like that's soeasy, Like it's so much.
It was so much, I'm sureprobably not what you were,
Cause when you watch like movies, like the craft or things like
that, and there are very muchceremonial magics you can do
where it's like calling in thetowers and doing all that.
I can't do that.
(18:07):
I give myself a lot of grace.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Oh yeah, I mean, don't we all right but it's.
But I have started in mydemonstrations lately like I'm
going to say almost casting acircles, but I I do it more of
an Akashic records kind of style, but it's still to me it's
still a circle and I like puteverybody in this energetic
bubble to clear out energies andprovide healing while you're in
that demonstration with me.
So it's just, it's been sointeresting because, I have to
say it, the last time I did thisat a crystal mine, I did this.
(18:38):
I put the whole store, thewhole store in this vortex
energy while we're doing it andI think the people can't really
feel it because they're in it.
But then I had somebody come,someone's the worker's mom come
and pick her up at the end ofthe day and she walked in and
she's a metaphysicalpractitioner and she walked in
the door and she's like what thefuck is with the energy in this
place?
I was like oh cool, it was me soI can't, I can't, um, but yeah,
(19:05):
I just love how you do all ofthe.
What do you?
What?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Go ahead, I'm, I'm uh , cause I'm just, I just put
together that.
So you have that demonstrationat crystal mine, I think, on a
Wednesday, thursday, oh, it wasthe next day, okay.
So I went the very next day toget this necklace and I had
never been there before Shut up,I wonder if I was responding to
your energy.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Oh, maybe shut up.
I wonder if I was responding toyour energy.
Oh, maybe because you.
She's pointing to her moldavitenecklace and I also wear a
moldavite necklace.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
24 7 so, yes, and I was terrified until I met you
and held it when we went out tothe bar that day and I was like,
oh, I could do this.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yep, I could do this ironically, the lesbian bar
right, yep, fem bar.
Shout out, fem bar, best, it'sBest, it's the best.
I love that place.
It was amazing, I don't know,so let me see.
Okay, so while we're talkingabout circles and rituals, I
know that you have a freebie outon your website.
(19:58):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yes, so there is sorry, I got really excited and
yelled.
So when most people sit with me, they're like you know, how do
I connect with my ancestors?
So there is a really like easyway that you can call, call in
the elements, connect with yourancestors and kind of feel out
who's open to working with you,cause not everybody is right.
Not a lot of us come from likelike I took me, so I started
(20:21):
ancestral healing in 2020 and ittook me four years to connect
with my maternal grandfather,who I knew in life.
Wow, four years.
She just wasn't open to it.
So, anyway.
So this, this is like a littleancestral connection, so it can
help you kind of figure outwho's open to who, where you
want to go, what you want tofocus on, cause a lot of
ancestral healing is coming hometo self ridding the programming
(20:44):
.
You know what do you want to do, how do you want to operate,
how do you know it's almost likemaking the world as sensory,
pleasing to you as possible.
That's all of our birthrightsand it's stolen from us.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
It's incredible.
So I'll toss that link in theshow notes to go download that.
I think it's a wonderfulfreebie and I've seen you work
and I know how amazing your workis.
But when I'm talking about yourwork, how um I, I, I feel like
I want to do like the, the stuffI do at the end right now for
some reason.
So let me do that now, and thenwe're going to circle back to
(21:15):
something, cause they're tellingme if we do this, something's
going to come up.
So how do people get in touchwith you?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Um, so usually Instagram.
I'm the good witch of theNortheast.
I do have a YouTube channel andI also have um.
And then through my Instagram,I have a YouTube channel and I
also have, and then through myInstagram, I have a Calendly
account so you can book rightonline through that and I will
have my website up and runningwithin the next like 10 days.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Okay.
So yeah, definitely by the timethis releases.
And then, what are some of yourservice offerings?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
I do a lot of ancestral healing.
So, and they're, they're all somost of the time people book
with me, we will either do ageneral reading, kind of see
what spirit wants to say.
I do do more directives, soancestral healing, we do a lot
of road opening.
I do spell work for peopledepending on what they need in
their life, whether it'sprotection, ease, gentleness,
(22:01):
healing.
Whatever I do do cord cuttingsfor clients, but those are for,
like existing clients that I vetfirst because is is intense and
like there's some people arelike, oh jinx, that guy that
that spit at me.
I'm like no, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Because you don't face yourself.
That's a gene.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
And yeah, and I think that's the biggest thing about
your work is it's allself-reflection or healing of
your own yourself or your own anabusive, narcissistic energy.
So I look at it as like youknow, like someone licking their
thumb and pushing it down andlike, fuck you, this other
energy is going to rise.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Oh my gosh, that's amazing.
So the one I wanted you to,wanted to ask you about, cause
they said once I asked youyou're going to what's the road
opening?
Tell me about that, my favorite.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
So that's the one that we, that we all did
together.
So that is, I look at a roadopening as kind of soothing
things, Cause I feel like for mepersonally I got, I get into
this groove where I live day today and I have a hard time
planning and I have a hard timenoticing when things are getting
clunky or junky or like kind ofbogging me down.
And so road opener, a roadopener spell is it's great.
(23:27):
So you literally, like I'mseeing is like an open road in
front of me, but like say therewas like a tree, like say you're
driving and there's a treeacross.
A road opener literally iscomes and clears it, it moves it
out of the way.
It brings opportunities andpeople in connection.
Abundance, because we are sucha money driven society but not
everything reads as energeticmoney.
(23:49):
So opportunities, connection,like meeting you guys was done
after a road opener oh so, yeah,definitely.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
So those of you that want covens, do you do your road
opener?
Oh my gosh, that's incredible.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
And then, when I do spell work for people, I always
do a reading with it, becausethat's something I didn't do the
first, that's not somethingwicca ever taught me.
So I was, I did a.
What was I doing?
I was getting a reading withsomeone and in 2020, and she was
like you don't do divination onyour spell work.
And I was like am I supposed to?
And she was like yeah, how doyou?
Yeah, of course you are.
So now, every time I do a spellwith somebody, I always do a
(24:23):
reading on like what is theenergy?
Like, what are possibleoutcomes?
What are possible hiccups thatcould happen?
What are some obstacles?
Like use the tools provided.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Wow, that is so cool.
That is so cool.
And the and, for some reason,what keeps coming up in my mind
as you're talking about thisroad to open a ceremony is like
the.
It's almost like an energeticalignment assessment or
energetic alignment, because I'mseeing the chakras all like
lined up and lit up too, and Ifeel like that's not consciously
necessarily what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
But me, my personal practice.
I very much.
I work with the chakras a lotin my personal practice.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
So that's yeah and um , and I have to say, as you're
talking, like your freakingcrown is blown open.
It's blown like you keep saying, and I've heard you on other
podcasts say, like when you,when you did the 10 droppers and
not the 10 drops, yeah, likeyou're like my third eye is
blown open, I was like, no,honey, it was your crown that's
way makes way more sense andlike as your crowns open, I just
(25:22):
see like rainbows shooting thefuck out of it.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
It's like what it felt.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Like I cried five hours and then I was fine oh, my
goodness, and it's just and um,here we go.
It's like this mini reading.
I hope you don't mind, rachel.
And then what's with the dreams?
Speaker 2 (25:40):
I don't dream and the only time I do dream, or when I
remember, it's so funny, youbring this up.
So I had a dream over theweekend about my relationship,
and normally, years ago, thatwould have thrown me, especially
because I'm psychic.
So I I got up, I was so anxiousand I was away for the weekend
and I went into the mirror.
I was like, do you haveprophetic dreams?
And I was like, no, do youthink that's a prophetic dream?
(26:02):
No, I like talked to myselflike I would a client and then I
said what do you?
What do dreams mean to you?
Like, how do I cause I do readmy dreams.
Like one time I had a dreamabout a tornado and I remember
in my dream saying this is not areal threat, the threat is
(26:23):
inside.
And when I woke up I was like,oh, what does a tornado mean?
Let me look that up.
It was so funny, and so it wasthe same.
I said do you have propheticdreams?
No, do you.
What do these mean for youusually?
And I said they meansubconscious.
And literally that afternoon iswhen Jess texted us about
starting the 75 day hard and Iwas like so it's, I don't.
And because I'm a psychic andthis is maybe for some of your
other listeners I feel like wealways lean into it's not fear.
(26:45):
Well, for me it's fear.
You know, if I can't try, if Ican't read something, if I can't
track something, but I don'tunderstand what something is, I
used to be afraid of it insteadof diving deeper into it and
saying what is the energy?
You know, like with the tornado, I would have woken up and been
like a tornado was going todestroy my house.
No, it was about leaning intothe fact that I don't have
control and how magical andfreeing that could be, and
(27:06):
literally just going along forthe ride.
And yes, it will damage somethings, but sometimes some
things need to be torn down.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Yeah, and I think that's what's amazing about you
is that you recognize thepatterns.
Yes, all the time.
All the time and like every andit's so interesting hearing you
talk even about the ancestralstuff, the road openers, these
dreams, and it all comes down tolike these subconscious
tendencies that we have ashumans, that we need to, like,
(27:33):
unpack undo.
First we have to see it andfirst and then we have to figure
out how to heal it, and you'reso good at doing both of those
things.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
That's and that's when I, when I learned the
concept of the lizard brain, Iwas like, well, no wonder why we
live in any when it, with fightor flight like that, makes so
much sense because our, our,it's, it's only job is to keep
us safe.
And when we apply the law ofattraction.
Because with the lizard brain,it's supposed to just look for
things that are safe, look forthings that are controllable,
but for me that meant look forenvironments that I grew up in,
(28:00):
which I did not grow up in supersafe, healthy environments at
all.
So my brain was looking forthat and it will then, like, put
these little seeds of doubt orseeds of lies into my
subconscious of like you don'twant this, this isn't what you
want, when in reality, I do wantsafety.
I do, I, I'm not that person,you know, and so it's.
It's a lot about conditioningand deconditioning that and
(28:22):
learning who we are individually.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Yes, and I have to say I've seen firsthand how
impactful the work you do isThank you, and I just like I
can't.
Work you do is thank you and Ijust like I can't do you mind if
we end on like, maybe, as astory of a client that you just
remember or love, in terms oflike how, what that process was
like for him or her, sorry, theyall went out of my head.
(28:48):
Yeah, I know, I'm sorry, that'sum who's, who's the who's the?
Um the woman with the drugproblem.
Hold on, it's okay.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
I'm like I'm seeing her in my head honestly, my
favorite story is that man fromthe rehab.
Okay, okay, so yeah, I can tellthat full story.
So yeah, um, he, when I, when Ifirst started talking because,
like, as you can tell, I go allover the place, I don't mean to,
(29:21):
but I do when I first startedtalking, I could feel his energy
was like very standoffish andvery like kind of absent, like I
don't want to be here and so Iyou know I was talking, I was
doing my thing, and then heraised his hand.
He was like I'm always going tobe a junkie or a liar, like what
you're saying is bullshit, likeyou're just a waste of my time,
and like I was like, oh, you'reattacking me, like I'm here
doing this for free because Ilove to, and you're attacking me
(29:43):
, which means you feel defensive.
And then I said how old wereyou when your mother died?
And his eyes, because I saw himimmediately regress to a
six-year-old boy and that's inthat.
Wow, I'm just putting thattogether.
But that's when I startedrealizing that I could see
people's inner children.
I saw him as a six-year-oldchild and he said I was six.
And I said okay, so who raisedyou when your mother died?
And he said my grandmother.
(30:04):
And then another woman cameforward and she had a briefcase
in one hand, a grocery bag inanother, was a vacuum right
behind her and I said she hadthree jobs.
Who really raised you?
And he said I guess nobody.
And he like lived in, um,fucking like one of the towns
right outside boston in like the60s when the busing was still a
(30:26):
thing.
And he, he's a black man.
So he was like nobody raised melike the streets raised me.
I said because those feel likecoping mechanisms of a child,
you know I need to get my, Ineed I need to lie and steal to
get, because I saw the movieAladdin.
When he's like I have to stealto get the bread, I was like
were you trying to feed yourselfwhen you were stealing?
And he was like when I was reallittle, yeah, that makes sense
(30:48):
to me.
So that's when I said I wonderwhat would happen if you learned
maybe like two or three copingskills, two or three different
coping mechanisms gave yourselfa bit of a chance, like what
would happen.
And he's been sober now forover a year.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
That's insane.
That's insane.
Now do you all see why I loveRachel so much.
Like she just comes with suchlove and perspective and like
you don't judge anybody, youdon't judge your clients, you
don't judge the circumstancesthat they come in with.
All you want to do is just likeliterally open these roads for
them.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
One of my biggest tenets that I that I stand by is
I would never want to be judgedfor anything in my life, but
especially when I was in avulnerable position, because I
know I have acted out this outthe side of my neck before and I
just wouldn't want to be judgedfor it because I was in a
really shitty space.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
You know life's really hard, and it's some.
We can't judge people by theirworst moments, but we can only
judge them by we do?
Yeah, absolutely, and this issomething I keep telling my kids
and trying to realize thelizard brain?
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Yeah, because our brains are like you can't trust
this person.
Look how they act.
Instead of like what's, let'scalm it down, what's really
going on.
Are they always like?
Speaker 1 (31:53):
this, you're absolutely right.
You're absolutely right.
I love it.
Every time we get together,it's like click, click, click.
All these things start makingsense.
So Rachel and I are justconstantly like voice memoing
each other all the time, alongwith the rest of the witches.
But, rachel, this was freakingincredible.
Anything we want to talk aboutthat you're going to download
from before we hop off today.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Yes, about how fear and love don't exist on the same
vibration.
And then, if you're in thisworld and you feel like nervous
or anxious about something, sitwith the energy and remind
yourself that the only trueunknown is death and none of us
know exactly what happens on theother side and everything else.
We've survived, the otherthings we've gone through.
Nothing's taken us out yet.
So in reality there truly isnothing to fear.
And that fear.
Sometimes we encounter bigenergy, like I know.
(32:43):
When I first started workingwith the archangels, I literally
hid in my back room with, like,my back against the wall and
was like I don't want thisbecause I'm terrified.
But then I was like, oh, it'sjust big energy, I also have big
, yeah.
So just remember that fear andlove are the only two vibrations
and that most of the time wecan peel it back to just those
vibrations and it becomes easierto align yourself once you kind
(33:04):
of strip the language down.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Right, because, as you're talking, what I teach in
my classes, and on a recentpodcast episode too, is the law
of vibration Love is the highestvibration, fear is the lowest
vibration and everything else isa mix of love and fear.
What percentage of each of youhave in that recipe?
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Yeah, that's so incredible.
Well, thank you so much forbeing here, Rachel.
You're incredible, Incredible.
I love you too.
It's been such a pleasure andI'll add again everything into
the show notes.
If you want to check out Rachel, she's amazing.
Her readings are incredible.
You will not regret it if youchoose to work with her.
If you feel called to work withher, give her a follow on
(33:42):
social media book, a sessionwith her.
She's freaking amazing.
Thank you again, Rachel.
Love you so much.
Bye.
Hello everyone, Welcome back to empower your
soul.
I am here today with a dearfriend of mine.
You may have heard her in ourweather being, which is podcast
that was released not too longago, but this is Rachel, the
good witch of the Northeast girl.
Thank you so much for beinghere today.
Thank you for having me.
I'm so excited, oh, my goodness.
So for those of you that don'tknow or maybe miss the first
(00:22):
episode I had with Rachel, sheis a psychic medium, ancestral
healer and Oracle.
She uses a lot of cards andchanneling to help her clients
with their own path out ofdarkness and has found a huge
success in integrating physical,medical-based practices, such
as body work and metaphysicalwork to help clients feel
connected and in control oftheir own destiny.
And I have seen firsthand themagic that you do, Rachel,
(00:46):
Thanks.
So this is going to just be areally fun chat with Rachel and
I want you all to learn so muchabout Rachel because she is
literal magic and she's justeverything and I just love I.
I remember stalking you onsocial media before we were
friends, Rachel.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Really, I remember when you followed me, I was like
I've been looking for her.
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
It's so funny Cause I was like I just the good witch
of the Northeast is to me.
There's so much aboutwitchcraft, witchery that is has
such a negative connotation andyou just fucking call it out
right in the name.
And I love that about you,thanks, oh, my goodness.
So for those of you that areless familiar with you, like who
, who is Rachel?
What?
(01:35):
Like little background aboutyou, your, your history.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
That would be wonderful, if you don't mind,
Phenomenal.
So I started practicingwitchcraft.
Well, first of all, hi, I'mRachel, I, I.
I started, I started practicingwitchcraft in 2016, but started
really my healing journey andbecame Rachel in 2020, after the
birth of my daughter.
So I kind of stumbled alongwitchcraft for four years.
I started with Wicca and itfelt like almost right.
(02:01):
You know, like when you plug aC port into a regular charger,
you're like this doesn't quitefit.
And that now fast forward 10years and I'm like, oh shit,
that makes sense.
Why?
Cause it's so patriarchal, it'sso like, but I don't know.
Anyways, and then I so I did.
I was studying the craft off andon for four years and then I
(02:21):
have my daughter, had a reallybad bout of past postpartum
depression, anxiety, and soughtthe help of THC oil to help me
kind of ground that energy andheal that part of me.
I had been sober for 10 yearsbefore that and I accidentally
took too much Like.
(02:42):
They told me to take 10 dropsof this oil and I took 10
droppers full because I didn'tknow the difference.
Yeah, and then I woke up thenext day and I was like, oh my
God, I know things and it waslike spirit had pulled back,
Like I feel like I threw thebaby out with the bath water
when I was growing up and spiritpulled back the curtain and I
(03:04):
was like, oh my God, not only doI know things, I see things.
And I don't see thingstraditionally, like the way your
son sees spirit, but I see themlike in the third eye.
I see perspectives, I seethings come through to me in
italics, Like when someone'stalking to me, I can feel what
they're trying to say underneath.
You know their actual languagethat they use.
But I do this is my job, thisis what I do for work and I help
(03:28):
people heal a lot of.
I work with people that feelunseen.
I think I think it's a lot ofwhat I do is I help people feel
seen, feel safe, especially inthis community.
Like when I started, it was sogatekeepy, it was so closed and
off and you couldn't talk aboutit and everyone thought you were
crazy and I was like, well, ifyou already think I'm crazy, I'm
(03:49):
not going to keep the shit in.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah, and I think that is just a testament to your
name too, because you are,because you were like I'm the
good witch and I just rememberyou you mentioning um.
Rachel and I are really goodfriends outside of this Best
friends.
Maybe she's throwing the heartsat me, and what's so cool about
you is you are the antithesisof, I think, what a lot of
(04:14):
people think a witch is.
Yes, like it blows me away too,because I've actually had
readings where and I've toldthis to you, yeah, I'm not a
witch where the people have saidI've never had a life as like a
witch, and I think it's thatsense of the word, though, of
what people interpret witch tobe right, and then, for some
reason, I just keep getting thisis going to be 100% spirit led
(04:37):
interview.
I love this so much because Ijust keep getting the image of
how untraditional you are andhow that just draws in the right
people, and what they keepshowing me is the cannabis
festival that you had a booth atright, and the Harvest Cup in
Worcester, massachusetts, andhow you had a booth there and
(04:59):
all of these other readers thatare there had like no clients
and you had like a revolvingdoor of clients.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
There I read like 44 people over the weekend.
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
They, they got to experience the magic of Rachel
and I and and I think that wassuch a turning point for you in
realizing the fucking power thatyou have.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I'm just like being myself, because that was I
always thought you had to likefit in a box and be.
You know, you had to ascend andyou had to do these things and
I was like, well, I'm nevergoing to fucking get there
because I'm an ancestral worker.
I I am very aware of who I comefrom, where I come from and I
was, and what aligns with me andmy energy and I'm, like you
know, doing doing a meditationevery.
(05:42):
I love to meditate, I love yogaso much, but I am not the Yogi
that wakes up at 4am and holdstree pose, like I'm too
scattered for that.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
You preach, I am the same way.
No, if it's slow, I'm all set.
You talk about that all thetime, oh my goodness.
So let's talk about theancestral work.
Then Can you tell me a littlebit more, because I am for those
.
I mean, all you listeners knowI'm more in mediumship space,
akashic record space, shamanicspace, and you have this whole
(06:11):
other ancestral modality thatI'm obsessed with.
So, in your opinion, or in yourwords, how would you define
ancestral healing?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
So a lot of.
So.
It's such like a.
I love talking about this withyou too, because I feel like
what we do is very much twosides of the same coin.
Like when I met you I was like,oh my God, that's what I want
to do, and then I was so.
Ancestral healing for me isreally, when you break it down,
it's trauma healing throughepigenetics.
So it's looking at the peoplewho have come before us, looking
at their patterns,understanding their stories and
(06:42):
moving from there, because Iknow in the brain development
world you know, in anunderdeveloped brain we have
such a childish perspective onthings.
We take everything in,everything's our fault, all of
these things, and I think thatas our ancestors existed and
things happened, there wasn't alot of room for healing in the
terms that we can heal now.
When it comes to epigeneticsLike I said, that's my favorite
(07:05):
word to use Because trauma canbe passed down, the same way eye
color can be passed down.
We're formed in the bodies ofour grandmothers.
That was my favorite breakingpoint for ancestral healing for
me, because I know that Irespond to stuff that I have no
business.
Responding to Stuff wouldtrigger me, that I'm like this
is not mine, but I would thinkto my grandmother and think of
(07:26):
how she lived and I was like, oh, okay, and for years my family
we're super Irish, so we don'ttalk a lot about traumas or
experiences or anything likethat and the core of what we do,
I feel like mediumship saysthat no one truly dies until
they're not talked about anymore.
And for my family, like as soonas someone dies, people are
(07:48):
like deuces bye and like I feellike once I connected in, I have
like 10 generations back, comeflying forward of like this is
who we are, this is what we'remeant to do.
There's something in the Druidmagic called Celtic seership and
that's really what I've clungto, because it's all about
understanding perspectives,patterns, things like that.
It's something that they didgot thousands of years ago and
(08:12):
it's been lost over time.
So for me, ancestral healing inmy line is tapping back into
that, honoring that part of mein this world.
Now, you know.
And so when I work with clientscause the clients will come to
me they're like I have a curseon my family.
You know Like, okay, well, doyou guys have money troubles?
Do you have like an insecurityaround love?
Like when people use the wordcurse.
(08:34):
It shows up.
But it shows up as attachmentwounds, as trauma responses and
stuff like that.
It's not like you know.
Like you know the thing withAdriana like your chicken shall
never prosper, like that affectsfood.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Oh wow, I just put that together about the money
thing I got to talk to her aboutthat.
This is what it's like chattingwith Rachel and I.
We're just constantly remindingeach other of things.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
We always have notebooks next to us and like
just parallel, just like goingoff into, like the deep end, but
it's always connected.
So when people that's what Ihelp people with their trauma
healing, like one of my favoritethings to do and my favorite
ways to give back is I go intoabout once a quarter there's a
rehab in Danvers, massachusetts.
I go into and talk aboutancestral healing and substance
abuse because, I mentioned atthe beginning, I was sober for
(09:18):
10 years.
I had a drinking problem.
I was in AA, went to rehab, didall the things and their form
of higher power didn't work andthere was no room for healing of
the human condition.
It was you follow this way andyou do this and if you know
anything about me, I can't dothat.
And then I started looking at mygrandfather, who struggled with
(09:38):
epilepsy his whole life in thetwenties.
So as a man he couldn't sayanything because he would have
been shipped off to a psych ward.
He went, served in the military.
It was like his.
Once I understood his storyfrom the from this perspective,
I was like that's why he drank.
Oh shit, oh okay, and like.
And then I looked to hisgrandfather because you know and
(10:00):
like, it's just, it's all ofthese like it's a domino effect.
So my favorite ways to giveback is going in and talking
about substance abuse and traumahealing, like what was your,
what was your grandmother likeyou know, who raised you as a
child?
What are your coping skills?
Because I want this one man whowas, like you know, I'm a
junkie and a liar my whole lifeand I was like spirit's telling
me that if you just learn liketwo or need to steal to survive
(10:22):
anymore because you're a 50 yearold man who can go and like,
make ends, make, you are capableenough to make things work.
But someone told you when youwere a child, who should have
brought you up, that you had todo this and you could see the
wheels clicking inside of himand he's been sober since.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Holy shit, it's crazy , that is absolutely insane and
it's just.
I have to echo that and I have.
We've never had thisconversation really before, but
it's just so interesting, you,you bring that up because I I
went to therapy, right Like Idid therapy for a few years for
my both of my maternal linesbeing like alcoholics,
(11:01):
narcissistics, right All of thebad stuff, right, and so there's
so many things going in my headright now, rachel, based on
what you're saying, right,because I think I had five
appointments with this therapistand I was like you're not going
to help me.
You're not going to help me.
There's nothing that you cansay to me that I haven't already
mulled over in my brain.
And come to that conclusionWith spirit Right brain.
(11:27):
And come to that conclusionwith spirit right right, because
what I needed to do was healthe family lines, because I knew
it wasn't me and I couldn'tfigure out how to get it out of
me right and so, because it'swrapped up in your DNA, right,
right, and until I did thisspiritual work, yep, there was
no hope for me to solve this.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Absolutely, and that's how our ancestors and for
most of us it feels like we hadsome split in our lineages of
spirits, showing me four to sixgenerations back.
For most of us, so like what?
And for the couple of theclients that I've been able to
trace back, some of it's beenthe witch trials through Europe.
Some of it's been Christianitytaking over, like when people
(12:04):
had to flee and hide.
For some people it was slavery.
When some people you know it'sthere's, we can pinpoint where
their magic was hidden.
But for a lot of us we can't dothat and we just kind of walk
around as these angry,disconnected people because
we're told, at least in America,we're told you should be
Christian and this is thereligion you should follow.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
And if you are of Druid descent, that's not going
to align with you, right, rightand it's just it all.
It's all coming together in myhead right now because all of
these I'm going to say morenegative traits that a lot of
people carry are copingmechanisms for not being able to
one for them and theirancestors being able to be who
they are and because so you'd besocially shunned, you'd be
tossed in a mental assignment,asylums, right, like, so, like
(12:51):
all of these things are copingmechanisms for from your
ancestors, of not being able tospeak and live their truth
there's home so muchhomosexuality in the ancestral
lineage that I'll click in withsomeone and they're like oh, oh,
my grandfather was so abusiveand he cheated on women all the
time, and like I'll get a reallygraphic image in my head and
I'm like your grandfather washomosexual and had to repress it
(13:14):
.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Wow, I'm telling you I can think of at least 12
people over the last five yearsthat like that has come through
where there's been homosexualityand it's been repressed and
abused and it's like ever whocares?
Like you know, love is love,love.
And then they've ascended to apoint.
The ancestors, their ancestors,have ascended to a point where
they recognize that love is justlove, but there's no
(13:38):
limitations right, becausethat's all there is in the
spirit world.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
There is none of that in the spirit world.
It's all just love.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I had this one.
He was a great grandfather.
He came in he was almost angrybecause he lived his life as a
lie and he couldn't.
You know, he like we keptconnecting on like it was a man
and we were talking about likesexual connection and things
like that and he was like he'slike it and it feels like I'm
missing a piece.
And his great-grandfather camein and said it was the missing
(14:06):
piece about sexual connectionand spirit.
Oh, so he's like.
I never experienced that typeof sexual intimacy.
His great-grandfather wanted tobe with men and he couldn't.
And it was like he was likerobbed of that soulful spiritual
connection in his lifetime.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yeah, can you hang on ?
Can you say that differently?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
my brain is like so, like for a lot of like I've
spanned it asm can be theclosest way that we connect with
god.
And this this guy said that youknow he, he wasn't able to kind
of satisfy this kind of cravinghe had.
He's like, you know, I don'tknow if I need a sexual healer
and I was like, oh, there'ssomething in onto this, like
there's something here.
I do think you might need somesort of like sexual spiritual
(14:48):
healing.
And then his grandfather camein and was like, yeah, I wanted
to be with men and that was theonly way he felt safe and like,
when we look at masculine andfeminine wounds, that makes
sense.
And like his mother, so it wasthe man's great great
grandmother was very abusive,very narcissistic, so there was
no masculine protection and hisgreat grandfather just wanted to
(15:10):
feel safe.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
So I have to ask you how did you do this?
Sexual spiritual healing.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I was like I don't know how to do this.
I feel like there's somethinghere but like maybe you meditate
with some sacral music.
And then I do talk a lot aboutsolo sex magic with people
because like I don't know if I'msure there are sexual healers
in like the sex work world.
I'm sure they're, I'm so prosex work, but I don't know any.
So I was like solo sex magic,hey yo, masturbation with
(15:38):
intention.
And he's like looking at me,like I'm like I know you didn't
ask for this, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
But I think that's so cool because you're so outside
of the box of like so manydifferent people that I know and
you really just 100%,inherently trust spirit and
where they go and what they tellyou and you really are of the
sense of like rituals or healing.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Yeah, so so healing Right which is through me to
Catholicism when I was a kid waslike ceremony.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Oh, okay, and maybe this is why I am so anti
ceremony, because I came fromCatholicism.
Yeah, I was a literal altargirl, so I would have to learn
and practice and ring the bellsand like bring that, um, bring
up the, the, the body and bloodof christ, right like up up onto
the.
Oh, we're the weird ones.
Yeah, I almost fainted one day.
(16:33):
That probably says a lot.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Um, while I was, while I was doing altar service,
um, oh, my god, it does, thoughthat tracks so hard because I
disassociated throughcatholicism, because I was like
this is bullshit and I feel likesame.
Your higher self was like no,thank you, yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
That was the day I quit, by the way.
Yeah, I was like, because I waslike I'm like, even as a little
girl, following those signs,being like, okay, why did I?
Cause I felt fine.
And then I felt really dizzythat one day.
And I remember like, gettingout, oh, look at you, eyes
tearing up.
I remember getting up in themiddle of the service and
(17:13):
there's two of us right and theyrecruited girls because they
couldn't get enough boys in thecommunity to do this right.
So they recruited girls and mebeing good girl, let me get my
um, you know, perfectionist mode, let me get my positive energy
and also the benefits from yourmom.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Your mom is gonna love that oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I was.
I was an author girl.
Love that.
Yeah, Um, but yeah, that's um.
So that's so interesting, CauseI'm so anti-ceremony, yeah, and
I like I teach it in mybeginner's mediumship class.
I'm like, here's all the thingsthat everybody else does.
I don't do any of this.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Remember the first time we, we did that spell
together.
I remember you were like, howdo you cast a circle?
And I was like, oh, I say it inmy head and this is how I do it
.
And you were like that's soeasy, Like it's so much.
It was so much, I'm sureprobably not what you were,
Cause when you watch like movies, like the craft or things like
that, and there are very muchceremonial magics you can do
where it's like calling in thetowers and doing all that.
I can't do that.
(18:07):
I give myself a lot of grace.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Oh yeah, I mean, don't we all right but it's.
But I have started in mydemonstrations lately like I'm
going to say almost casting acircles, but I I do it more of
an Akashic records kind of style, but it's still to me it's
still a circle and I like puteverybody in this energetic
bubble to clear out energies andprovide healing while you're in
that demonstration with me.
So it's just, it's been sointeresting because, I have to
say it, the last time I did thisat a crystal mine, I did this.
(18:38):
I put the whole store, thewhole store in this vortex
energy while we're doing it andI think the people can't really
feel it because they're in it.
But then I had somebody come,someone's the worker's mom come
and pick her up at the end ofthe day and she walked in and
she's a metaphysicalpractitioner and she walked in
the door and she's like what thefuck is with the energy in this
place?
I was like oh cool, it was me soI can't, I can't, um, but yeah,
(19:05):
I just love how you do all ofthe.
What do you?
What?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Go ahead, I'm, I'm uh , cause I'm just, I just put
together that.
So you have that demonstrationat crystal mine, I think, on a
Wednesday, thursday, oh, it wasthe next day, okay.
So I went the very next day toget this necklace and I had
never been there before Shut up,I wonder if I was responding to
your energy.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Oh, maybe shut up.
I wonder if I was responding toyour energy.
Oh, maybe because you.
She's pointing to her moldavitenecklace and I also wear a
moldavite necklace.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
24 7 so, yes, and I was terrified until I met you
and held it when we went out tothe bar that day and I was like,
oh, I could do this.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yep, I could do this ironically, the lesbian bar
right, yep, fem bar.
Shout out, fem bar, best, it'sBest, it's the best.
I love that place.
It was amazing, I don't know,so let me see.
Okay, so while we're talkingabout circles and rituals, I
know that you have a freebie outon your website.
(19:58):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yes, so there is sorry, I got really excited and
yelled.
So when most people sit with me, they're like you know, how do
I connect with my ancestors?
So there is a really like easyway that you can call, call in
the elements, connect with yourancestors and kind of feel out
who's open to working with you,cause not everybody is right.
Not a lot of us come from likelike I took me, so I started
(20:21):
ancestral healing in 2020 and ittook me four years to connect
with my maternal grandfather,who I knew in life.
Wow, four years.
She just wasn't open to it.
So, anyway.
So this, this is like a littleancestral connection, so it can
help you kind of figure outwho's open to who, where you
want to go, what you want tofocus on, cause a lot of
ancestral healing is coming hometo self ridding the programming
(20:44):
.
You know what do you want to do, how do you want to operate,
how do you know it's almost likemaking the world as sensory,
pleasing to you as possible.
That's all of our birthrightsand it's stolen from us.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
It's incredible.
So I'll toss that link in theshow notes to go download that.
I think it's a wonderfulfreebie and I've seen you work
and I know how amazing your workis.
But when I'm talking about yourwork, how um I, I, I feel like
I want to do like the, the stuffI do at the end right now for
some reason.
So let me do that now, and thenwe're going to circle back to
(21:15):
something, cause they're tellingme if we do this, something's
going to come up.
So how do people get in touchwith you?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Um, so usually Instagram.
I'm the good witch of theNortheast.
I do have a YouTube channel andI also have um.
And then through my Instagram,I have a YouTube channel and I
also have, and then through myInstagram, I have a Calendly
account so you can book rightonline through that and I will
have my website up and runningwithin the next like 10 days.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Okay.
So yeah, definitely by the timethis releases.
And then, what are some of yourservice offerings?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
I do a lot of ancestral healing.
So, and they're, they're all somost of the time people book
with me, we will either do ageneral reading, kind of see
what spirit wants to say.
I do do more directives, soancestral healing, we do a lot
of road opening.
I do spell work for peopledepending on what they need in
their life, whether it'sprotection, ease, gentleness,
(22:01):
healing.
Whatever I do do cord cuttingsfor clients, but those are for,
like existing clients that I vetfirst because is is intense and
like there's some people arelike, oh jinx, that guy that
that spit at me.
I'm like no, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Because you don't face yourself.
That's a gene.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
And yeah, and I think that's the biggest thing about
your work is it's allself-reflection or healing of
your own yourself or your own anabusive, narcissistic energy.
So I look at it as like youknow, like someone licking their
thumb and pushing it down andlike, fuck you, this other
energy is going to rise.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Oh my gosh, that's amazing.
So the one I wanted you to,wanted to ask you about, cause
they said once I asked youyou're going to what's the road
opening?
Tell me about that, my favorite.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
So that's the one that we, that we all did
together.
So that is, I look at a roadopening as kind of soothing
things, Cause I feel like for mepersonally I got, I get into
this groove where I live day today and I have a hard time
planning and I have a hard timenoticing when things are getting
clunky or junky or like kind ofbogging me down.
And so road opener, a roadopener spell is it's great.
(23:27):
So you literally, like I'mseeing is like an open road in
front of me, but like say therewas like a tree, like say you're
driving and there's a treeacross.
A road opener literally iscomes and clears it, it moves it
out of the way.
It brings opportunities andpeople in connection.
Abundance, because we are sucha money driven society but not
everything reads as energeticmoney.
(23:49):
So opportunities, connection,like meeting you guys was done
after a road opener oh so, yeah,definitely.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
So those of you that want covens, do you do your road
opener?
Oh my gosh, that's incredible.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
And then, when I do spell work for people, I always
do a reading with it, becausethat's something I didn't do the
first, that's not somethingwicca ever taught me.
So I was, I did a.
What was I doing?
I was getting a reading withsomeone and in 2020, and she was
like you don't do divination onyour spell work.
And I was like am I supposed to?
And she was like yeah, how doyou?
Yeah, of course you are.
So now, every time I do a spellwith somebody, I always do a
(24:23):
reading on like what is theenergy?
Like, what are possibleoutcomes?
What are possible hiccups thatcould happen?
What are some obstacles?
Like use the tools provided.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Wow, that is so cool.
That is so cool.
And the and, for some reason,what keeps coming up in my mind
as you're talking about thisroad to open a ceremony is like
the.
It's almost like an energeticalignment assessment or
energetic alignment, because I'mseeing the chakras all like
lined up and lit up too, and Ifeel like that's not consciously
necessarily what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
But me, my personal practice.
I very much.
I work with the chakras a lotin my personal practice.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
So that's yeah and um , and I have to say, as you're
talking, like your freakingcrown is blown open.
It's blown like you keep saying, and I've heard you on other
podcasts say, like when you,when you did the 10 droppers and
not the 10 drops, yeah, likeyou're like my third eye is
blown open, I was like, no,honey, it was your crown that's
way makes way more sense andlike as your crowns open, I just
(25:22):
see like rainbows shooting thefuck out of it.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
It's like what it felt.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Like I cried five hours and then I was fine oh, my
goodness, and it's just and um,here we go.
It's like this mini reading.
I hope you don't mind, rachel.
And then what's with the dreams?
Speaker 2 (25:40):
I don't dream and the only time I do dream, or when I
remember, it's so funny, youbring this up.
So I had a dream over theweekend about my relationship,
and normally, years ago, thatwould have thrown me, especially
because I'm psychic.
So I I got up, I was so anxiousand I was away for the weekend
and I went into the mirror.
I was like, do you haveprophetic dreams?
And I was like, no, do youthink that's a prophetic dream?
(26:02):
No, I like talked to myselflike I would a client and then I
said what do you?
What do dreams mean to you?
Like, how do I cause I do readmy dreams.
Like one time I had a dreamabout a tornado and I remember
in my dream saying this is not areal threat, the threat is
(26:23):
inside.
And when I woke up I was like,oh, what does a tornado mean?
Let me look that up.
It was so funny, and so it wasthe same.
I said do you have propheticdreams?
No, do you.
What do these mean for youusually?
And I said they meansubconscious.
And literally that afternoon iswhen Jess texted us about
starting the 75 day hard and Iwas like so it's, I don't.
And because I'm a psychic andthis is maybe for some of your
other listeners I feel like wealways lean into it's not fear.
(26:45):
Well, for me it's fear.
You know, if I can't try, if Ican't read something, if I can't
track something, but I don'tunderstand what something is, I
used to be afraid of it insteadof diving deeper into it and
saying what is the energy?
You know, like with the tornado, I would have woken up and been
like a tornado was going todestroy my house.
No, it was about leaning intothe fact that I don't have
control and how magical andfreeing that could be, and
(27:06):
literally just going along forthe ride.
And yes, it will damage somethings, but sometimes some
things need to be torn down.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Yeah, and I think that's what's amazing about you
is that you recognize thepatterns.
Yes, all the time.
All the time and like every andit's so interesting hearing you
talk even about the ancestralstuff, the road openers, these
dreams, and it all comes down tolike these subconscious
tendencies that we have ashumans, that we need to, like,
(27:33):
unpack undo.
First we have to see it andfirst and then we have to figure
out how to heal it, and you'reso good at doing both of those
things.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
That's and that's when I, when I learned the
concept of the lizard brain, Iwas like, well, no wonder why we
live in any when it, with fightor flight like that, makes so
much sense because our, our,it's, it's only job is to keep
us safe.
And when we apply the law ofattraction.
Because with the lizard brain,it's supposed to just look for
things that are safe, look forthings that are controllable,
but for me that meant look forenvironments that I grew up in,
(28:00):
which I did not grow up in supersafe, healthy environments at
all.
So my brain was looking forthat and it will then, like, put
these little seeds of doubt orseeds of lies into my
subconscious of like you don'twant this, this isn't what you
want, when in reality, I do wantsafety.
I do, I, I'm not that person,you know, and so it's.
It's a lot about conditioningand deconditioning that and
(28:22):
learning who we are individually.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Yes, and I have to say I've seen firsthand how
impactful the work you do isThank you, and I just like I
can't.
Work you do is thank you and Ijust like I can't do you mind if
we end on like, maybe, as astory of a client that you just
remember or love, in terms oflike how, what that process was
like for him or her, sorry, theyall went out of my head.
(28:48):
Yeah, I know, I'm sorry, that'sum who's, who's the who's the?
Um the woman with the drugproblem.
Hold on, it's okay.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
I'm like I'm seeing her in my head honestly, my
favorite story is that man fromthe rehab.
Okay, okay, so yeah, I can tellthat full story.
So yeah, um, he, when I, when Ifirst started talking because,
like, as you can tell, I go allover the place, I don't mean to,
(29:21):
but I do when I first startedtalking, I could feel his energy
was like very standoffish andvery like kind of absent, like I
don't want to be here and so Iyou know I was talking, I was
doing my thing, and then heraised his hand.
He was like I'm always going tobe a junkie or a liar, like what
you're saying is bullshit, likeyou're just a waste of my time,
and like I was like, oh, you'reattacking me, like I'm here
doing this for free because Ilove to, and you're attacking me
(29:43):
, which means you feel defensive.
And then I said how old wereyou when your mother died?
And his eyes, because I saw himimmediately regress to a
six-year-old boy and that's inthat.
Wow, I'm just putting thattogether.
But that's when I startedrealizing that I could see
people's inner children.
I saw him as a six-year-oldchild and he said I was six.
And I said okay, so who raisedyou when your mother died?
And he said my grandmother.
(30:04):
And then another woman cameforward and she had a briefcase
in one hand, a grocery bag inanother, was a vacuum right
behind her and I said she hadthree jobs.
Who really raised you?
And he said I guess nobody.
And he like lived in, um,fucking like one of the towns
right outside boston in like the60s when the busing was still a
(30:26):
thing.
And he, he's a black man.
So he was like nobody raised melike the streets raised me.
I said because those feel likecoping mechanisms of a child,
you know I need to get my, Ineed I need to lie and steal to
get, because I saw the movieAladdin.
When he's like I have to stealto get the bread, I was like
were you trying to feed yourselfwhen you were stealing?
And he was like when I was reallittle, yeah, that makes sense
(30:48):
to me.
So that's when I said I wonderwhat would happen if you learned
maybe like two or three copingskills, two or three different
coping mechanisms gave yourselfa bit of a chance, like what
would happen.
And he's been sober now forover a year.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
That's insane.
That's insane.
Now do you all see why I loveRachel so much.
Like she just comes with suchlove and perspective and like
you don't judge anybody, youdon't judge your clients, you
don't judge the circumstancesthat they come in with.
All you want to do is just likeliterally open these roads for
them.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
One of my biggest tenets that I that I stand by is
I would never want to be judgedfor anything in my life, but
especially when I was in avulnerable position, because I
know I have acted out this outthe side of my neck before and I
just wouldn't want to be judgedfor it because I was in a
really shitty space.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
You know life's really hard, and it's some.
We can't judge people by theirworst moments, but we can only
judge them by we do?
Yeah, absolutely, and this issomething I keep telling my kids
and trying to realize thelizard brain?
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Yeah, because our brains are like you can't trust
this person.
Look how they act.
Instead of like what's, let'scalm it down, what's really
going on.
Are they always like?
Speaker 1 (31:53):
this, you're absolutely right.
You're absolutely right.
I love it.
Every time we get together,it's like click, click, click.
All these things start makingsense.
So Rachel and I are justconstantly like voice memoing
each other all the time, alongwith the rest of the witches.
But, rachel, this was freakingincredible.
Anything we want to talk aboutthat you're going to download
from before we hop off today.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Yes, about how fear and love don't exist on the same
vibration.
And then, if you're in thisworld and you feel like nervous
or anxious about something, sitwith the energy and remind
yourself that the only trueunknown is death and none of us
know exactly what happens on theother side and everything else.
We've survived, the otherthings we've gone through.
Nothing's taken us out yet.
So in reality there truly isnothing to fear.
And that fear.
Sometimes we encounter bigenergy, like I know.
(32:43):
When I first started workingwith the archangels, I literally
hid in my back room with, like,my back against the wall and
was like I don't want thisbecause I'm terrified.
But then I was like, oh, it'sjust big energy, I also have big
, yeah.
So just remember that fear andlove are the only two vibrations
and that most of the time wecan peel it back to just those
vibrations and it becomes easierto align yourself once you kind
(33:04):
of strip the language down.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Right, because, as you're talking, what I teach in
my classes, and on a recentpodcast episode too, is the law
of vibration Love is the highestvibration, fear is the lowest
vibration and everything else isa mix of love and fear.
What percentage of each of youhave in that recipe?
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Yeah, that's so incredible.
Well, thank you so much forbeing here, Rachel.
You're incredible, Incredible.
I love you too.
It's been such a pleasure andI'll add again everything into
the show notes.
If you want to check out Rachel, she's amazing.
Her readings are incredible.
You will not regret it if youchoose to work with her.
If you feel called to work withher, give her a follow on
(33:42):
social media book, a sessionwith her.
She's freaking amazing.
Thank you again, Rachel.
Love you so much.
Bye.
