Are you a witch?

In this episode, I’m answering the question I get most often: "Am I meant to be a witch?" I’ve been practicing witchery since 1987. I’m here to tell you that you don’t need permission to start your journey. I’ll show you how to navigate the world of magic without getting discouraged by gatekeeping or "generations-old" snobbery.

We discuss everything from reading tarot cards to why I believe in a "90% practical, 10% magic" lifestyle. Whether you are curious about shadow work, looking for budget-friendly rituals, or just need a grounding tool like an Epsom salt bath, this episode is your invitation to embrace your innate gifts and start practicing on your own terms.

  • How do I know if I’m ready to start practicing witchcraft? If you feel drawn to the craft, whether you’re obsessed with herbs, cauldrons, or just have a deep curiosity, that is your sign. You don’t need three doves and a raven to appear; your interest is all the permission you need to begin.

  • Why do you focus on "practical" witchcraft? I believe magic should be your competitive advantage, not your entire personality. I teach you to handle the 90% of life that is mundane with accountability and logic, using that extra 10% of witchcraft to give you the edge you need.

  • What are your favorite budget-friendly grounding tools? You don’t need expensive crystals to be a witch. I recommend simple, effective methods like saltwater baths, sitting with your spine against a tree in the park, listening to low gongs, or simply spending time with a pet.
