In this episode of Divine Disobedience, we’re diving into protection magic, altars, ritual, and the truth about building a spiritual practice that actually feels like yours.

From rosemary smoke and salt at the doorway to shadow work, ancestor connections, and the surprisingly powerful rituals hidden in everyday life, we’re unpacking what protection really means beyond the aesthetics of modern witchcraft.

I also share what’s currently on my altar, practical ideas for beginners, ethical ways to source spiritual tools, and why your practice doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s to be valid.

And because this is Divine Disobedience, we couldn’t leave without talking about pleasure, embodiment, Aphrodite, and the radical act of reconnecting with your body without shame. Expect stories, laughter, a little chaos, and perhaps the most unconventional manifestation technique I’ve ever shared publicly.

Whether you’re a seasoned witch, spiritually curious, or just trying to survive existence with a little more intention, this episode is a reminder that spirituality doesn’t have to be aesthetic to be authentic.

Protect your energy.

Romanticise your existence.

Question everything.

Stay divinely disobedient.

In episode two of Divine Disobedience, I finally get into the “what did I actually do?” behind my year of working with Aphrodite, manifestation, ritual, shadow work, and dating with intention.

After spending five years intentionally single, decentering men, healing from BPD patterns, and rebuilding my relationship with myself, I found myself stepping back into the dating world with one goal: stop repeating the same cycles.

This episode dives into:

🌹 how Aphrodite worship found me

🕯️ the rituals, spells, and shadow work I used throughout 2025

🧠 how dating became a mirror for my healing

💌 the men I encountered and what each of them taught me

✨ the difference between chasing validation and protecting your peace

🔥 and how one final spell led me to someone who actually aligned with me

From love bombers to emotionally unavailable men, anxious attachments to political incompatibility, this episode is less about “manifesting a boyfriend” and more about learning how to receive the kind of love that feels safe, calm, reciprocal, and real.

Witchcraft, in my experience, wasn’t a wishing well. It was a line of communication. And Aphrodite didn’t just send me love, she forced me to confront every version of myself that was standing in the way of it.

This one is chaotic, emotional, deeply personal, occasionally unhinged, and probably the most honest I’ve ever been online.

Welcome back to Divine Disobedience.

In this episode we do a quick look into Aphrodite’s foundation, where and what she came from. It’s important to understand her framework in order to move with her and stay aligned to your personal intentions in a way that produces results.
