The Secrets of a Witch Podcast

In this episode I talk about what is - in my opinion - the number one relationship killer: contempt! If your relationship is contemptuous... it's doomed! In this episode I dive into what contempt looks like, how it feels, what it tries to achieve, why it happens, how it can cause us to act (without us realizing it), and what we can do when we experience it. This is also a call out to anyone who does fall into acting contemptuou...

Guess what? The Canadian federal election is on Monday! I’ve already voted, and I’ll be involved on Election Day… but I’m not sharing in what capacity until the election’s over. In this episode, I talk about how precious (and rare) fully free democratic countries are, why we shouldn’t take democracy for granted, and why voting is important. I’ll also discuss my annoyance with the Trump-centric phenomenon of everyone and their dog b...

Pessimism and negativity are out, positivity and optimism are in: if I declare this to be true, that means it’ll be true, right? LOL, I wish! While I can’t snap my fingers and get rid of all the world’s negative Nancys and pessimistic depressed masses, what I CAN do is tell you about why cultivating a positive imaginary and worldview (and default perspective) isn’t spiritual bypassing (or bullshit), and about how it can and absolut...

In this episode I discuss one of the most important qualities in successful, happy, and growth oriented people: curiosity! I’ve noticed that in the past decade or so, it’s been significantly on the decline. I also talk about the rise of abstracting people into symbols, rather than listening/observing to see who people actually are. It’s become normal to dehumanize people with a different perspective, and this concerns me due to its...

Believe it or not, the title of this podcast episode is something Jordan Peterson said at a recent lecture I attended. He was speaking on personal growth and self improvement from a Christian lens, but when I heard those words, my own worldview and cosmology - which place an enormous emphasis on witchcraft - came to mind. To me, it's such a witchy phrase! In this episode, I explain what this phrase means to me, why I relate it to h...

Eclipse season is almost over! Our eclipse portal this March ends with a bright partial solar eclipse with a new moon in Aries (and with the sun in Aries, too). I talk about what the energy of this moment is, how we'll feel during it and when it's done, how we can work with this energy to confidently enter our next season with no regrets, and I pull 4 (awesome!) tarot cards which reveal more about how this eclipse will hit. Will yo...

Hey y'all! Happy eclipse season! In this episode, I talk a little bit about the eclipse portal we're currently in, how I'm working with it as a Virgo rising, how important it is to try new things, challenge ourselves, be open to being wrong, be open to new ideas, and - crucially - being and staying curious.

As therapy speak becomes more common, I've noticed that many people have a total misunderstanding of what boundaries actually are. People will complain about 'boundaries' when other people don't behave how they want them to. But - newsflash - boundaries are at their core really about US, and our behaviour: the one thing we do have control over. In this episode, I talk about what boundaries are, and how best to think...

This Thursday, we have a full moon in Virgo total lunar eclipse that is visible in North America. In this episode, I'll talk about what these energies swirling around mean for us personally, what to expect, why to view the eclipse if you can, and how to make the best of the potent energetic shifts we'll experience this eclipse season.Secrets of a Witch is a podcast by writer, artist, and spiritual teacher Sabrina Scott.

I had a great time at my first ever podcasting conference and event: Podcamp Toronto! In this episode, I share a bit about what I learned, and share thoughts on some conversations/themes present in the podcasting space, including corporate vs DIY, YouTube and video-based podcasts, how people self-sabotage by never starting (and always leaving it til later), why I love chatting with strangers in hallways (and am always pleasantly su...

I've noticed an unsettling pattern in many astrology creators and influencers today: a tendency to leave everything 'transformational' in the future, that the next big thing is always around the corner, we just have to wait for everything to change signs and then boom. In this episode, I share some criticisms and worries about what kind of mindset and approach to life this 'passive' attitude towards astrology and spirituality creat...

In this era of everyone and their grandpa (and dog) having a podcast, I have to wonder: Are all these newbie interviewers just pulling off really skillful grifts? Step 1: Interview famous people. Step 2: Profit!

Spicy hot takes aside, in this episode I talk about how the journey is the destination, and how crucial (and unavoidable) it is for us to really put in the hours and do the work of developing and advancing our thought proces...

Is love enough? 'Love' has been a word/concept people in abusive and dysfunctional relationships often use to stay in the relationships they're in. This is a bad idea. In this episode of Secrets of a Witch - with thoughts inspired by binge-watching the recent Netflix documentary on abused and murdered young woman Gabby Petito - I explain why.

Today, we have a gorgeous full moon in Leo. In this episode, I talk about how this full moon is the perfect opportunity to step into the full luminosity and brightness of who you are. Stop living in the shadows, and reconsider your connections with people that do. Life is too short to be lived by half measures; life is too short and too beautiful to be dishonest or in shame about who you are, who you want, and who you want to be. T...

For many, it can be so tempting to live a secret life. Being our true, honest selves can be scary: will anyone accept us in our mess? Will we get called out by friends and family for behaving badly or acting out of line? Would anyone truly love us if they knew all our kinks, desires, mistakes, and ugly points? When no one knows who we truly are, we insulate and isolate ourselves. When our friends, family, and community don't know w...

Hi there party people! In this vulnerable episode, I share about what I learned from an ill advised situationship blowing up in my face. I broke some of my own rules, I knew better, and I played a stupid game and won a stupid prize. What red flags did I ignore? What did I learn from the experience? I mean, how DOES someone who made a podcast episode (two years ago!) about how bad and pointless situationships are, kinda end up in on...

This episode is about testing out our internal algorithms, our standard operating procedures, and the rules and regulations by which we lead our lives. I outline four of the main ways we - in my opinion - create these rules, and I discuss a recent example of breaking one of my own long-standing rules, how that went, and what I learned. What are the rules that create the boundaries of your own life? This episode will give you a lot ...

In this episode, I talk about the importance of consistency, predictability, and reliability in all relationships, but especially romantic ones. Consistency creates emotional safety and trust in relationships, which creates more space for authentic intimacy to blossom. Listen to learn more about why this is so important. (And, side note: this isn't about perfectionism, but rather healthy emotionality and relating.)

I've followed astrologer Chani Nicholas' work for over a decade, and travelled to LA to meet her in 2019. After being such a loyal supporter and fan of her work for so long, it's time for me to switch gears and divest my attention from her and other woke astrologers. In this episode, I critique some of Chani's recent content, as well as her need to re-record her astrological content once her candidate lost the American presidential...
