The Secrets of a Witch Podcast

In this episode, I give my analysis of two recent massive blow-ups in the spiritual wellness and self help influencer space: femininity teacher Wizard Liz' husband cheating on her while she was 4 months pregnant, and self-styled wellness 'guru' Aubrey Marcus basically forcing his gorgeous yet miserable wife into a throuple situation. You may think this is irrelevant to you; maybe it is - I myself had never heard of any ...

What if being a heretic is exactly what would set you free? In this episode, I discuss how choosing authenticity over approval—and integrity over conformity—can transform your life in powerful ways. It’s not easy; you may experience loss when you face your fears. I talk about how embracing your inner heretic might just be the most peaceful, soul-aligned decision you ever make, and why.

Happy Friday! This episode is inspired by noticing how many, many spiritualists suggest that the physical body is simply 'a vessel' whose physicality they ignore. Completely avoidable health issues, chain smoking, a love of McDonald's, an avoidance of moving towards physical health and fitness: all of this is super common amongst mediums and people who engage in spirituality and mediumship. In this episode, I argue that...

In this episode, I try to convince everyone to watch sports! Our bodies love to experience stress, and if we don't have a curated, intentional, time-bounded place to release and feel stress, we are much more likely to create drama in our lives and make mountains out of molehills. People stir the pot when they don't have a place to express that energy. There are so many reasons I feel all spiritually minded, witchy folks sho...

Hola party people! In this new episode of The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with me, Sabrina Scott, I start with an update about my upcoming fourth book and second graphic novel, Bodymagic, and continue on with a discussion about how magic, witchcraft, and spirituality are about much more than just paying attention to the latest and greatest full and new moons. If you've been feeling bored and repetitive about your spiritual pract...

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...
